This should be mandatory. On a side note, Ossoff needs to stop voting to aid Israel.

The number of people saved by "faith and prayers" = Zero and counting

Did you see his speech at Beulah? He is a truly great man.

Self-Servatives always object to having their own greed checked!

"I thank the Senator from Wyoming for making my point for me."

if "stocks" include derivatives, than it's o.k. Otherwise add derivatives (e.g. Options, Futures etc.) on the list of prohibited financial instruments. Just to be sure.

Of course, he did. Unregulated crypto is fraudsters paradise.

I object to not being able to rob the system blind!

It will be impossible to get unanimous approval for these things but it must be done!!

Stop the grift.

What a load of corrupt crap from lummis. Ossoff is 🔥

Don't let them play with your attention. While you're consumed by the news noise, your decisions are being shaped-which is exactly what they want. Don't drift with the current-set your own course.

For the love of Country...OOPS ! Meant to write MONEY - Senator Lummis loves the action.

MGT is a case in point.

both parties see it as a get-rich-quick scheme.

The majority run for reelection to have access to the congressional honey pot, not to continue serving the people. Congress members on both sides are guilty.

This is why the base salary and benefits have to be better. Then people who care about their communities and weren't born into wealth can actually afford to serve. And honorably.

Rot starts at the top.

Pointing out a specific issue and providing an example is the opposite of painting with a broad brush.

I just reject this premise that proximity is incriminating and therefore tarnishes the whole brand. Same thing when hunter had a job in Ukraine but since there was corruption in Ukraine, then therefore he must be corrupt and therefore his father must be corrupt.

Furthermore can I get a show of hands of everyone in this thread who either hasn’t invested in crypto or has a child who hasn’t done so? The goalpost committee is so eager to pounce. Meanwhile… www.commondreams.org/news/ice-war...

This has a nice overview about the general ethics concerns, and mentions Gillibrand specifically as well. campaignlegal.org/update/crypt...

I'll also point out that Gillibrand being involved in regulation of an industry that gave her over $200k in donations raises some ethics concerns.

The issue is that absolutely obvious conflicts of interest like this *aren't illegal*, which is what Ossof is addressing. It's corruption. Just like the Trump sons getting $500 million for their crypto venture.

They should have never been allowed to in the first damn place. All that matters in this screwed up country is money. Period.

Too fucking bad. Crypto dick.Ossoff is right. The corruption is right in front of our eyes.

Love me some Ossoff❣️💙💙💙

Par for the course. Wake me up when a Republican senator does something in the interest of the American people.

It's crazy how corrupt they are and nothing is done about it

Those that object to it, are the best endorsement for why this motion is needed!

Fuxing lummis lock them up

You know.

🤷‍♀️ They are on the stock trading boat.🚤

Lummis has the right to remain silent and should learn to use it. Kleptocurrency only exists for fraud and every transaction is a theft. Why does Lummis really want to keep the grift going?

"Shocking" Lummis objected 🙄

This “Don’t Mess With My Crypto Grift” t-shirt is creating a lot of questions already answered by the shirt.

This is the kind of Senator this country needs. Get rid of the corruption in Congress! Please add the prediction market as well!

They, like their Dear Leader, love making money from their position of power!

Scammers in the senate!

of course, they would use someone leaving. That way, it doesn't look as bad for all the others still there.

Bravo Ossoff and thank you for listening to the people! This is just ONE layer of corruption in the government that needs to STOP immediately! Sadly, there are so many more layers.

Couldn't have said it better. If the rules apply to everyone, they should apply to everyone

LOL

Do you think Lindsey is drooling 🤤 all over Ossoff?

I really hope he becomes governor.

Choose. Public service or self enrichment?

They also need to ban Congress from trading prediction markets and futures contracts, which may be even more corrupt.

She would not be effected - but not because she isn't a corrupt piece of shit.

it's the currency of crime. there's literally no other use for it.

Of course he objects! Some people run for office to represent the people while others run to get rich. Know the difference.

My US SENATOR. He is a good, smart guy.

Wyoming is culturally 10-20 years behind the rest of the country. But always at the forefront of swindling and taking taxpayer money.

Lummis ≈ "I will be completely unaffected ... I won't be here ... but I'll have colleagues who will share all the inside information they get, with me".

Disgusting hypocrisy at its finest.

I guess Sen. Lummis is worried he won't be able to launder money

👍🤞

Kudos to Ossoff for introducing it, knowing some would object.

Self-directed behaviors of GOP Cynthia Lummis coupled with Drumpf-appeasement syndrome. GOPs come alive and are only up in arms when it impacts their bottom line, or maligns their fearless feeder.

A senator looking out for most Americans vs. a senator looking out for herself. Crypto is another MLM fraud structure. Don't believe it? See: Amway. Just a pyramid scheme with 0 regulation that increases dark money. We're funding people who wish to do us harm and allowing them to dodge sanctions.

Congress needs to stop enriching themselves and work on supporting Americans to thrive.

I for one hope the bottom falls out of Crypto!

Fighting corruption will become a game of wack a mole so we need to attract talent & at the same time keep the loyalty of the people we elected into leadership roles.

Good for him! Hope he wins re-election, but he clearly has a political future... not sure all the 'run him for Prez!!' talk is warranted, but he might be a good pick for Veep... or a Cabinet post? Not sure... 👍

How about a ban on putting domestic terrorists in charge of government agencies?

Gender is fluid. I really don't care. "Cynthia" is putting their money where their mouth is and not caring how it affects US. If any senator wants to bank while balking at our inalienable rights, they can walk the plank.

The piggies don't like it when you upset the trough.

Of course the Senator from Wyoming objects. How about a resolution to rescind their statehood and return the territory to the Bison?

I would really like it if they would just do their damn job. It's not a big ask when it's the reason they are there

Or at least apply a tax to all their unrealized gains.

pray.. what's the use of becoming a senator if you can't get (very) rich on the side..?

Well, she's just wrong. She should've sold or put in a blind trust anything that conflicts with this ban.

Why isn’t he co-sponsoring with Todd Young’s bill? Or does Young not want to cut off Trump’s crypto scams?

"Beginning in the new year so make sure to get in all your insider trading before then!" Shit like this needs to just be implemented. If you give them time, if it miraculously passed, they're just gonna do as much trading as possible and work out ways around it or to stop it

This would have been so great and then Sen. Lummis appears and objects- just because she can it seems. Oh and it wouldn't affect her. Maybe paid to do it.

Yes. Time has come.

East/West Interstates are EVEN numbered. North/South Interstates are ODD numbered. He is literally too stupid and self-obsessed to even get that right. But I guess those Montana and Idaho Trump voters will have no problem when he puts an Interstate through all their pristine nature. Goodbye tourism.

Yup. They also have fossil fuels and chemical plants. Two things Trump likes.

More trashing of natural beauty brought to you by TrumpCo.

In Greed He Trusts

I’m disgusted and furious at the idea. It would affect our wildlife corridor, here in Montana, as well. yellowstonian.org/could-madiso...

Noooooo 🤬🤬🤬🤮🤮🤮She can f*** all the way off with that bs

Proving that she’s an IDIOT…just like every damn one of those that support this regime, or are part of it!

🤷‍♀️😱Are you kidding me? Glad she is retiring, I hope that interstate never goes through.

She didn’t retire soon enough.

😢

💯💯‼️

Ugh, gross

And they will give 🍊💩 permission to sell land (cheap) around it to the rich or build hotels

Ha!

lol Me too

If Trump had ever visited a national park or forest, how could this be ok? & how do you BECOME a president who has never visited a national park or forest?

She can’t leave soon enough!!! 🤮

Bitch, no

The Grand Tetons are awsome and doesn’t need a highway through it

Absolutely!💯‼️

The magats want to go back to the olden days? Well...

Lummis? Who? Oh, Wyoming GOP ... check.

I suppose crypto isn't the only thing that's volatile… political opinions seem to move pretty fast too😅

Remember, for corrupt senators like Lummis and Gilibrand, crypto is an avenue for getting away with it even more. bsky.app/profile/atru...

I think senators need to be paid by the hour….minimum wage. Lets see how hard they work then!
