This Congress’ first efforts to enact guardrails for stablecoin, enabling the regulated deployment of “digital dollars” where issuers are required to keep a 1:1 reserve for each and every stablecoin (eg, with treasuries or deposits).

POLITICAL CHANGE Our Congressional Representative, Brad Sherman (D) CA-32, has been in Washington, D.C. for 15-Terms, 30-Years. Do you know who he is? He is a living example of what you get when you live in a one-party state with no congressional term limits. He has been around forever and done nothing. No decision he has ever made in three decades has been seriously challenged by anyone. He has had to show no accountability…and he has made many unbelievably bad and costly decisions for us. And now, he has left us in a mess. Sherman has learned how to “quietly” do nothing. He distances himself from controversy. He’s not a leader…He’s a follower. Not a thinker…A party “yes man.” He always shows up one day too late to act as if he’s helping, but instead, he awkwardly just stands there doing nothing with his goofy smile. How much has he cost you personally? As a senior member of the House Financial Services Committee, Sherman has consistently led the fight to kill Bitcoin and all Cryptocurrencies. In fact, having so many banks as donors, he has advocated “outlawing” digital currencies. So, as it turns out, he has been on the wrong side of history for over 15 years. Bitcoin started trading in July of 2010 for $0.05 per coin. If you had bought just one Bitcoin then or even in 2016 (just 9 years ago) for $400 a coin it would be worth $110,000 today. So much for his hollow scare tactics, negative rhetoric, financial advice, and proposed killer legislation. He chimed in with the Joe Biden and Kamala Harris LIE that the border was secure when in fact it wasn’t, and they knew it. He kept silent when Biden struggled mentally in his campaign. He claims to support Israel…sometimes. He continues to stall in leading a solution to the Metro Transit Project connecting the San Fernando Valley to LA’s West side. The endless delays have been bogged down by his accountant-due-diligence mentality instead of having an assertive vision with momentum to get it done. As a career politician who has never earned more than $174,000 a year, he has a home in LA and a home in Washington, D.C. worth an estimated $14 Million dollars. How is that mathematically possible? Well, I said he was an accountant. Regarding the Palisades and Malibu fires, I agree with real estate billionaire and former LA Mayoral candidate, Rick Caruso, who proclaims, “If it’s predictable it’s preventable.” Sherman and Mayor Karen Bass don’t practice preventive governance, but instead, they rely on remedial governance. Sherman claims and implies that Sherman Oaks and Sherman Way were named after him and his family. That’s simply a lie. Sherman Oaks and Sherman Way were named after General Moses Hazeltine Sherman (1853-1932). He was a land developer and entrepreneur from Vermont who came to California in the late 1800s and founded Sherman Oaks development. If Brad Sherman will lie about a town being named after him and his family what else will he lie about? It’s time for a change. My name is Larry Thompson, and I am running for United States Congress. This will be my second attempt to unseat Sherman. In the recent 2026 election, I received 108,000 votes, which is the most votes ever received by a candidate running against him. With your help, I plan to defeat him this time. I am a Christian first. A Conservative second. A Republican third. I am a member of Turning Point USA and Stand With Crypto . I am a compassionate, intelligent, experienced businessman who uses Common Sense. I am running for Congress to awaken, organize, and unite a. the dissatisfied Democratic voter, b. the canceled, conservative voter, and c. the undecided No Party Preference voter. Visit: LarryThompsonForCongress.com I have been endorsed by the California Republican Party, the Los Angeles County Republican Party, the Ventura County Republican Party, California Young Republicans, California College Republicans, Los Angeles County Young Republicans, the American Independent Party, Brock Pierce, Chairman of the Bitcoin Foundation, David Hernandez, Chairman of the Los Angeles Hispanic Republican Club, and Regional Vice Chair of CAGOP’s Los Angeles County, and Kelsey Grammer, among many others. Visit my 32-Point Political Vision at: content.campaignpartner.net/images/84090/L… Democrats and Non Party Preference voters, I believe I will earn all or most of the Republican votes, but I cannot win without your votes also. You have voted for Sherman for 30 years...! What about giving me a shot? My term would only be for two years. If I don’t do a better job than Sherman vote me out in 2028 and put him or another Democrat back in. California’s District 32 where I am running against Sherman encompasses at this time the communities of Bel-Air, Bell Canyon, Beverly Glen, Brentwood, Canoga Park, Chatsworth, Encino, Malibu, North Hills, Northridge, Pacific Palisades, Reseda, Sherman Oaks, Studio City, Tarzana, Topanga, West Hills, Winnetka, and Woodland Hills. The district traditionally trends Democratic by a large margin of 70-30. I know, it’s difficult to make a party change. Change isn’t just difficult. Sometimes, it feels impossible. You know the feeling. You make a bold decision — to eat healthier, end a toxic relationship, move to a new city, leave that job, start that business, finally go after the life you keep pretending, you’re not afraid of. You start out strong, your heart full of conviction. But weeks—or even days—later, you find yourself back where you started, sabotaging your progress or convincing yourself it was never worth it anyway. And then comes the shame. You wonder why everyone else seems to manage change so gracefully while you’re drowning in self-doubt. You ask yourself, “What’s wrong with me?” But the truth is: nothing is wrong with you. Change is not a straight path. It is a reckoning. A grief. A rebirth. A neurological, psychological, and emotional storm that stirs up every part of your identity. It’s not that you’re weak. It’s that you’re human. American author, speaker, and pastor, Dr. John Maxwell, says, "When it comes to change, there are three seasons of timing: People change 1. when they hurt enough that they have to, 2. when they learn enough that they want to, and 3. when they receive enough that they are able to." Are you in any one of these three seasons? Isn’t it time you tried something new to build a future for you and your children? Sometimes the person that brought you here isn’t the person you need to guide you forward. Think about it. Vote for change. Vote for Larry Thompson for Congress.

While I am inclined to support GENIUS & CLARITY to having some regulatory framework for crypto instead of the wild west, I strongly support these amendments to strengthen the legislation and I hope they will be adopted this week by the House or before the legislation heads to Trump’s desk. 1. Chair Waters’ amendment establishing a crypto investor and consumer “bill of rights.” 2. Waters’ amendment preventing the preemption of all state laws. 3. Waters’ amendment blocking the President, Vice President, and Members of Congress from issuing and trading crypto tokens and conflict of interests. 4. Amendment requiring exchanges to provide digital wallet and digital asset information to Federal law enforcement when there is a warrant for illegal activity. 5. Rep. Sherman’s amendment specifying that nothing in this Act prevents the SEC from regulating stocks and bonds on the blockchain as securities. 6. Language that makes it clear the test will not strip the SEC of authority over those tokens that clearly are speculative, as opposed to those that are functional and should be regulated by the CFTC.

Americans are investing in digital assets in record numbers. It’s time we establish a clear, commonsense regulatory framework that protects current investors and builds long-term trust in the system.

@RodrigotsAustin @MGImmigration @repdarrellissa That’s true, but also…last time was before he voted to end Medicaid. And before he enabled DOGE to wreck the administrative state. And before he enabled a crypto bro cabal to raid the US treasury. He’s vulnerable. They’re all vulnerable.

2 Q for crypto folks wanting US gov to step up and lead with crypto-friendly regulation: (1) Many crypto users aren't paying taxes, how we fund good governance w/out taxes? (2) Some crypto users are criminals working outside system. If it doesn't work out, why my problem?
