The pro-crypto CLARITY Act failed to advance in the Senate after every single Democrat (and four Republicans) voted it down.
Reminder: crypto is a giant Ponzi scheme. Its only practical uses are for fraud, speculation, and crime.
Glad to see Congress wake up to reality.

I don’t know how you could look at Donald Trump’s record to date and think it’s a good idea to give him more power to levy tariffs. But that’s exactly what the Senate is poised to do, on a bipartisan basis, in a bill coming up for a vote today

When no one believes a country can pay back its debts, people stop buying its bonds. And if that happens, it starts to mean the currency or money is worthless because the markets stop believing it has value. The belief that the US was a stable country meant we could basically spend what we want.
The bond market is signaling trouble ahead. This is why you should pay attention
Many people don't pay attention to bond markets, but they should — especially now. This is why they matter and why the drop in bond prices is signaling investor concerns about the U.S. economy.
