I know political memories are short, but damn! In July, Schiff joined Republicans to pass the industry-friendly crypto bill that allowed Trump to take in more crypto bribes.
While Americans are struggling with higher prices, the President is focused on enriching himself and his family.
You look at this and have to ask yourself – is there any level of corruption so egregious that Republicans would call it out?
Evidently not.

Unbelievable. With Dem support, the senate passes an industry-friendly crypto bill that does nothing about Trump's crypto corruption.
Ignore these Dems' speeches. Watch their votes. They're telling you they don't get it. And then they spam you to say Trump is bad so please donate more money.

Update: I'm hearing the senate vote on this stupid crypto bill could come tonight.
This week should be about the despicable GOP reconciliation bill. The few Dems on this crypto bill aren't just wrong on policy, they're fracturing the party at a time we should be unified against GOP corruption.

Bad news. Word is the crypto bill is coming back. Some senate Dems - Warner, Gallego, & Gillibrand among others - are teaming up with the GOP to overcome the filibuster. Here's Gallego last week saying they won't try to stop Trump's crypto bribes because Republicans oppose that provision. Pathetic.

Trump's family crypto business is expected to soon be allowed to operate like a bank — a decision, made by the Trump administration, that would give U.S. companies a new route to steer money to the president.
Trump’s Family Crypto Firm Is Expected to Get Federal Banking Privileges

Working with oligarchs to pass an industry-friendly crypto bill while an authoritarian president takes crypto bribes isn't "smart moderation." It poisons the Dem political brand. This kind of shit is why congressional Dems have a 21% approval rating.

Back in February, I asked a Trump nominee about this EXACT possibility & he dodged my questions.
Just as I said back then, this whole process is corrupt to its core. Trump's admin is effectively trying to boost his own family's tainted crypto company.
Unprecedented corruption.

Instead of standing up to Trump, these 16 Democrats decided they’d rather do a big favor for the crypto industry and legitimize an avenue for Trump to collect bribes.
