Passing GENIUS Act would be good for America, Americans, the dollar, banks of all sizes, fintech startups and rules-based crypto. If Democrats oppose this bill, which puts checks + balances on all actors, it is political suicide. Let's end technology gradualism in Washington.

The heroes of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising fought for freedom and dignity in the face of unimaginable horror.

Today, like so many across Poland, we hold a daffodil in remembrance of their bravery.

Their memory compels us to stand firm against antisemitism and hatred in all its forms.

The problem with Democratic Party is that no one takes them seriously because they don’t take themselves seriously.

You can’t simultaneously argue Trump is a fascist intent on destroying democracy but your major response is to wear a pink suit to a speech, and expect to be taken seriously.

My take on all the Trump genuflection:

Once you have convinced yourself you can stay silent on a genocide unfolding live on your phone, you can stay silent/make peace with pretty much anything.

Israel has blown a massive hole in our moral universe and now pretty anything can drive through it.
