  9. 3/3
    " #Fairshake’s #influence across #elections is unprecedented in #American #politics, according to #campaignfinance analysts. And the #PAC isn’t going anywhere, having banked $78 million for the 2026 #midterms while pledging to continue punishing any candidate who steps out of line. The #crypto industry will almost certainly be #rewarded with #deregulatory #legislation in the next #Congress."

    Is there hope for #America ??
