From Our Revolution and Americans for Financial Reform: US Senators Elizabeth Warren and Jeff Merkley joined our LIVE Town Hall Monday to break down Trump’s crypto corruption — and how we can actually stop it. Big Tech Oligarchs spent over $200 million to elect Trump and now he’s paying them back. Watch recording here An industry-written crypto bill — the “GENIUS Act” — is moving through Congress, and Democrats must stand together to block it unless the bill includes Merkley’s End Crypto Corruption Act to stop politicians from profiting off crypto deals. The GENIUS Act would open the floodgates to untraceable crypto donations, deregulate stablecoins, and allow elected officials—including Trump himself—to personally profit from crypto ventures. Warren laid out how Trump is selling his crypto coins directly to foreign governments, and getting rich off transactions and interest-free loans. “This is not some small grift on the side. Trump’s stablecoin is now the fifth largest in the world,” she said. |
 Merkley echoed the alarm: “This is about the direct corruption of our elected officials.” He said Trump could see $80 million a year from the United Arab Emirates buying his crypto coins as part of a $2B deal. “They are very clearly seeking influence for a result: They want microprocessors for AI.” |
 Any version of the so-called ‘GENIUS’ Act must include Sen. Merkley’s measure to block politicians (like Trump!) from profiting off crypto schemes. This is more than just about crypto — it’s about taking a stand against the billionaire takeoverof our government. Sign the petition and stop the crypto power grab! |
