    “The race has never really been about me or any one person,” said #Platner. “It’s about a movement of working Mainers who are fed up with being robbed by billionaires and the politicians who own them."

    Platner vowed to defeat incumbent Sen. #SusanCollins (R-Maine), but he said the ultimate goal is to “start tearing down the system that, for too long, has forgotten and written off the people who make Maine and this country what it is.”

    While powerful national Democrats had backed Mills’ candidacy in the primary, Senate Minority Leader #ChuckSchumer (D-NY) and Senator #KirstenGillibrand (D-NY) endorsed Platner shortly after the #Maine governor suspended her campaign.

  6. FUCK YOU #kirstenGillibrand collaborating Nazi parasite

    Get the FUCK out of my emails

    Greedy lying sociopath

  7. …A coalition of #Democrats, led by Sen #KirstenGillibrand of #NY, have supported the #legislation despite misgivings from most senior members of the party.

    Sen #ElizabethWarren, Democrat of #Massachusetts, was unforgiving in her criticism, arguing that the legislation’s “thin #regulation” mirrored the #deregulatory approach that helped create the 2008 #FinancialCrisis.

  8. Good article in The Prospect about the coming STABLE and GENIUS acts, which will give an implicit bail out guarantee to crypto money laundering firms - sorry, i mean "stablecoins" - like #Tether and #Circle (#Coinbase). One of the two would also let #ElonMusk print his own dollars.

    Senate #Democrats like #KirstenGillibrand, #ElissaSlotkin, and #RubenGallego, whose election campaigns were supported by incredible amounts of crypto money, will probably make sure these bills become laws (because they are corrupt).

    Note that stablecoins are currently incredibly profitable businesses. After all a stablecoin is basically a bank where you spend nothing on anti-money laundering & other regulations, refuse to assist customers who have been scammed, and collect 5% interest from the US government while passing absolutely none of it on to your customers.

  9. @daedalean @GhostOnTheHalfShell for all intents and purposes there are really only two #stablecoins:

    1. USDT (Tether - ~70% of the market)
    2. USDC (#Coinbase, technically through a company called Circle - ~25% of the market)

    the rest are tiny.

    USDC has actually done an audit or two and we know where the money is (it's in a blackrock trust). #Tether has been the subject of a lot of writing and speculation by me and many others for years now.

    #KirstenGillibrand works for the Coinbase / #a16z / #Circle axis of crypto evil so this bill is basically creating rules that would push Tether USDT out of the US market.

    Coinbase CEO has already made noise about how they will probably have to delist USDT. Circle CFO is on video saying that Tether is a counterfeiting operation.

    (fun fact: Circle USDC was the largest depositor at #SiliconValleyBank and if SVB had been allowed to collapse and $3.2bn worth of USDC had died with it the entire crypto industry would have gone kaput.

    #moralhazard

  10. Senator #KirstenGillibrand (D-NY) is basically a wholly owned subsidiary of #Coinbase, #a16z, and the rest of the US crypto industry (as this Op-Ed in CoinDesk makes abundantly clear).

    Unfortunately she never got the memo about how the preferred nomenclature is now “#tokenization” and “RWAs” because “#Web3” just makes people think of monkey JPGs / #NFTs.

    What’s really happening here is that Circle / Coinbase are trying to get the US Government to legislate #Tether out of their market. While I support this goal I don’t think legitimizing Circle’s #USDC - who are, if anything, worse about compliance than Tether - is good policy.
