🚨HAPPENING NOW: @SenJeffMerkley introduced an amendment to the OBBB that would bar elected officials from promoting or profiting off crypto tokens they have a financial stake in. “The sale of crypto coins by any of us for the financial benefit is corrupting our responsibility to govern by and for the people,” Merkley said. @SenLummis stood and opposed this amendment, saying it would inflict serious harm on american innovation and competitiveness, and harm government's ability to understand and regulate digital assets effectively.
