Statements
Quoted from www.congress.gov on Jan 28th, 2026
"Just recently, a super PAC representing the crypto industry just announced that it has $193 million in cash at its disposal for the 2026 election." [S331]
"In other words, do you have concerns about crypto? Well, you are going to have to face a barrage of 30-second ads from extraordinarily wealthy people." [S331]

The GENIUS Act would undermine consumer protections, benefit criminal actors, and allow the Trump family to make tens of millions of dollars through crypto ventures. Join me LIVE as I discuss this dangerous bill, which poses serious risks to our economy. x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

Our country faces major health care, housing & climate crises.
But tomorrow, the Senate will focus on a bipartisan bill pushed by crypto.
Do you think their $245 million campaign spending last year has anything to do with it?
That's politics. We need campaign finance reform.

@SenSanders
THE most important political issue facing us now is our corrupt campaign finance system & Citizens United.
As long as Musk, AIPAC & crypto money can buy politicians, we’re not living in a democracy.
We must end billionaire control of our politics and publicly fund elections.
