A super PAC group funded by crypto companies will enter the midterms with more than $140 million in the bank. The colossal war chest now looms large over a slate of House votes this week on industry-backed crypto bills. www.politico.com/news/2025/07...
The GENIUS ACT is BAD for the average American saver. If your bank becomes insolvent, they can take YOUR money to pay off stablecoin holders. THEY are the priority creditors.
Ain't democracy great?
Totally shady with zero oversight. 19 of the 24 Trump hosted recently, came with faces covered to shield their identity and were from foreign nations.
Crypto is greed personified. Based on air and stealing money from gullible investors.
Fascist collaborator rag... www.salon.com/2022/09/06/n...
And Politico will do everything it can to help these oligarchs get rich off their corruption, off our backs and off our deaths. #BOYCOTTPOLITICO
The hounds are baying in congress!
Should be a free and fair election then. Nothing to see here
Scums!
Let’s not get scared by money. Instead, turn this into a fight against money, against the money-boys and their money-bots and the corporations that are bleeding us. We’ve got the wind at our backs and we don’t need all that fucking money. Let them choke on it.
Democratic Leaders: if you support this industry, you are toast.
The crypto industry exists. Don’t confuse wanting to regulate it with supporting it.
If you want to win an election, you need to pay off Elon. You know, the guy who has killed more people this year than Putin, and who owns the election software. Just look at the way he makes life better for the 92%.
…and therein lies the problem with American politics. Money should not be as much of an influence as it is for any side, it drives people to compromise themselves completely against what they know to be “right.” Remove that influence and politicians are more likely to do what they are elected to do.
Garlinghouse reminds me too much of JD Vance
It's not an "industry" because it doesn't produce anything, never mind anything of value.
So, they are using real US money, the dollar, rather than crypto to force their lobbying efforts. 🤔
Funded by incarceration of asylum seekers? Like a self-licking ice cream cone?
Another reason to be extra mean to conservatives. Not that there really wasn't before, with all the defending of pedophilia going on.
this entire headline is so fucking dystopian. USA you really sold out, huh? where are the 2A peeps when their country gets attacked from within?
Oh, they’re the ones voting for this and clapping like seals for more
always reminds of a phrase in a german poem we had to learn in school: "Spirits that I've cited; my commands ignore"
However…. Elon in Wisconsin was a good thing for the competition. WE THE PEOPLE have a responsibility to protect our democracy - and the 1/3 that didn’t vote are finally waking up to their obligation.
Crypts for everyone?
So glad we invented new money just to fund the same old problems, only just so much worse.
The crypto wing of the kleptocracy is especially dangerous. Players with house money to continue the scam.
And with crypto, you don't know who's behind it. Foreign governments, dark-money, criminals, pouring money into campaigns. GENIUS Act many Democrats supported, may not look so smart anymore. FAFO...
Glad to see our leaders realizing GENIUS Act not too smart…
Well then, let's not run against a person. Let's run against any person who takes this evil money. People are fed up. Now is the time to get these rich blood suckers.out of a Washington .progressive democrats only fuck billionaire backed candidates
Oh, buying credibility. The oil industry has set up the path well ahead.
U.S politics is now the best that crypto can buy?
Just the first & easiest
It’s mainly for masking criminal act funding on all scales. The fact that it can be used for legitimate purposes is window dressing. Trump and the rest of his mafia contacts and supporters, both US and Russian, want the US to stop looking at their money. Period.
Get BIG MONEY out of US politics Citizens United should never have been enacted by the Roberts court
I hate these Crypto people so much.
Crypto! Money, but for criminals. The whole industry's is a fucking scam. You are either robbing or getting robbed.
Crypto is sooooo overrated 🙄
Crypto industry? Grift is more like it.
The rich should be tax enough that they do not have enough to give to politicians
Money for campaigning or money for bribes?
Tomato, tomahto
Crypto industry. Maybe I am just becoming an old man; but what does this industry even produce??
Enough with this dark money shit in my politics. New government time. Revolution
practical people need to remain wary of AI - find the best sources stay clear of the bad ones....stay wary of crypto - it is so ripe with opportunities for fraud and corruption.....
I wonder which party they will favor?
This should be illegal.
Uh oh!
How is a stateless money system good for America and the almighty dollar?
Big crypto $ in politics risks regulatory capture—rules favoring industry over consumers. Blocking a Fed digital dollar might protect privacy but also limits oversight, making scams & risky crypto easier to hide. We need transparency & real protections, not just crypto hype. #CryptoRisks #Regulation
END CITIZENS UNITED MONEY RULES THIS COUNTRY.
Here comes the pain. Dems are shooting each other as this freight train is heading right for them. They seem lost. I can’t bear to watch.
Money in politics is detrimental bc it creates an uneven playing field, where rich individuals & special interests wield disproportionate influence, leading to policies that favor the few over the needs of the many. It erodes public trust in democracy & undermine the principle of 1 person, 1 vote
It was made for elections and fraud. We are so blind. Everyone goes after the carrot, looking for easy money.
Hmm, yes, definitely an indicator of a functional democracy.
And a president dopey enough to think crypto actually WORKS, because his neato smart ex-buddy told him they would.
fake money
this is not democracy.
Not at all….thanks to the Supreme Court and citizens united, among others 💔🤬🤮
Eliminate citizens united NOW Then get working on real rules around ONE PERSON ONE VOTE PERSON Not conglomerate
In 2008 Wall Street crashed the economy with its CDOs ... can you imagine the damage the crypto 'funny money' is going to do in the not too distant future? We are watching a crime being commited in full view of the public as the Congress sane washes this scam.
A fucking disaster waiting to happen!
This makes it easier to know who to vote against.
So, are we still trying to call this democracy?

Citizens United should be in the chop list of the next administration but knowing the Dems leadership I can only laugh at the idea.
Oh great more millionaires buying legislation, legislators and votes.
I feel like I should holler INCOMING
Vote for the guys who pleadge to regulate, control and hold accountable the krypto industry! There is no money in the world to compare with your vote!
It is grotesque to see this.

The midterms are not going to deter the revolution coming..it is not at game between Democrats and Republicans - it is a battle between young and old, and between rich, and poor.
After the successful RIGGING of the presidential elections combined with massive X opinion influencing it will be easy for Musk´s AMERICA PARTY to win all coming elections also. Do you intend to let him and the orange Heritagefond puppet to get away with it? thiswillhold.substack.com/p/she-won-th...
Should be considered invalid.
Always out to buy votes

they bought my Senator, they'll buy yours too
Contact your state legislatures and tell them that you support a constitutional amendment to ban super PACs. Make politicians work to earn YOUR vote.
Ask them to give up donations? Sure they will
PACs cannot contribute directly to candidate campaigns or political parties. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_PAC
All thanks to the abominable Citizen United ruling. Because of that decision we don’t even know if the money is coming from US citizens or foreigners or even hostile nations and terrorists.
Crypto is for criminals and suckers
There isn't enough money in the world to save the House and Senate leads at the midterm. That's why they will somehow prevent it. And if we sit around and allow that, we deserve him.
Hungry voters who just lost their health insurance and educations won't care about this war chest. They've seen what "the future" looks like for "commoners" and I'm guessing they're losing interest in billionaire boys who spend money to steal money. Any money used to entrench the GOP will be wasted.
wish they would stop shoving crypto down our throats....(Thiel)
Corruption. Kill Citizens United. Get billionaires and crypto scum out of our elections.
BOO!! No confidence
Why is there no PEACE chest? Enough men with tiny Johnsons picking fights with bigger Dicks. Let's have WORLD PEACE ✌️☮️🕊 WE COULD HAVE KAMALA. That sure would have felt like world PEACE was starting to form. We got the hateful war-mongering dueche canoe instead.
Perhaps it's time to treat crypto as it is. Fake money.
Crypto is scam ! They pump and dump to make millions on the back of the small investors who don’t know the game
Just going to comment SCOTUS every time a post can be traced back to one of their democracy destroying decisions. SCOTUS.
Money can't buy you love, or legal votes. They're gonna musk all over themselves, a la WI.
It’s almost like Citizens United allow wholesale secret corruption of our democracy.
Literally just fuck Citizen's United.
You need more than money to win now. You need an actual platform they will learn the hard way.
To quote the bard, "We assume the position to sell the ammunition"
Thanks for the list of crypto scum that need to be put to the sword. Remember corporate crypto scum are not human beings. There are vampire vermin who need to be exterminated.
America is bought and paid for. Shit. Hole. Country.
So foreign money owns the US elections now?
Ever since Citizens United mate. The money in politics is the cancer killing US democracy. In the past, however, AIPAC et. al. have at least had the good grace to declare where the funding comes from, Miriam Adelson for example. With Crypto, with no trail? Putin himself could be funding the lot!
🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
Yup yup! Not that long ago either, sadly the parties don't seem to WANT to change it. No expanding of the court, no big FUNDAMENTAL changes, just... carry on, continue to normalize it. Though there are a handful in congress that speaks of it, no actions from the majority. :(
I read a discussion on here earlier today. Lawyers of all description, working/lecturing etc. etc. To a man, they were all at a loss as to how to undo the damage Trump & the HF have done to the US legal system Questioning, IF Dems win in 28, would there be a functioning system of laws to recover
I'm 💯 sure we know where AIPAC funds come from...(We pay for that)
That’s less than Elon spent on Trump. It’s a lot but like it’s not even the biggest bribe of the past year. We have a real problem in this country.
And yet Musk spend millions trying to get a different outcome in the supreme court in Wisconsin. Americans vote with their pocketbook.
More pedo boosters
Notice how their power is measured implicitly in the USD they hold and not in crypto.
Funny how that works, huh? 🤔
They basically "figured out" a way to write themselves huge sums out of nothing – and thus shift the financial balance of power –> power over the world in their favor – all for microscopic investment. Pretty sure in less charitable places like China this would get one an execution sentence
#EndCitizensUnited @SCotUS decision!
Judging by every previous thing they have ever done, this will be either (a) stolen money or (b) magic beans that don't really exist.
“Politics! Politics! Politics! – … the best legislature money can buy;” Comicus stand-up philosopher
If every voter who values democracy sent $10 to a Democratic super PAC (or to individual Democratic candidates), we could elect the Congress WE deserve instead of the one we have, who now serve a lawless dictator & the greedy 1%.
I feel like the dems should do an uno reverse and nab these guys … go full pro crypto and watch the manosphere crypto bros loose their ever loving minds.
