Senator Warren remarks on GENIUS Act
Senator Warren remarks on GENIUS Act YouTube video by Senator Elizabeth Warren

I’m on the Senate floor right now urging my colleagues to vote no on the GENIUS Act.

There is no excuse for Congress to pass a crypto bill that will turbocharge Trump’s corruption and undermine national security, consumer protection, and our financial stability.

There is a false dichotomy drawn between "the ivory tower" and "the real world," and I'm here to report that in a post-industrial society, your real-world economy absolutely hinges on the university.

University towns are factory towns. Universities drive economic activity, not the other way around.

Trying not to think about it now, but this is probably the last time we're going see some of these guys as Celtics. Tremendous appreciation for what they've done and how they've carried themselves. Last year's team was my favorite I've ever covered, in any season, in any sport.

This. You don't even have to agree with any version of US civic belief, but the best version of the US-as-an-idea makes all of us born here citizens.

And citizen as our highest title.

Pete Rose did baseball crimes. We so often have to beg for people to care about players' off the field harms, and Pete Rose's off the field harms were horrible, but he also did baseball crimes. The worst baseball crime! And still we can't be done with him! Exhausting!

The argument of the Trumpists (and the white Afrikaners) is: If a reactionary white person is asked to live in a society they don't get to dominate, if they are "forced" to accept a pluralizing public square and don't get to do as they please at all times, it's basically genocidal persecution.

If Congress valued the Constitution, it would impeach Trump for bribery.

The Constitution bans US officials—explicitly including POTUS—from accepting things of value from foreign govts. Ben Franklin famously gave up a gift from France as ambassador.

US institutions now see blatant bribery as ok.

I’m still baffled at how America took one of the basic principles of the presidency — the occupant shouldn’t be able to benefit financially from the office — and just said, nah, that just doesn’t count for this one guy.

"Masked security forces captured an opposition leader in the coastal province of New Jersey as regime officials continue their months-long crack-down against pro-democracy elements in the embattled United States. The arrest comes as the regime issued calls for summary detentions without trial."

Exactly. The Pope adheres to ancient, straightforward Sunday School teachings about helping the needy and not being cruel to the vulnerable.

That this is being portrayed as radical and partisan says way more about the ones making the accusation than it does about him.

Big win for the Wolves. Improves NBA teams to 3-3 this round when taking a 20-point lead.

If you're glutton for emotional punishment....in the last six years, this is just the 2nd time (in 564 games regular season/playoffs), the Celtics went two straight shooting 25% or below from 3.

2nd time...in 564 games.

A lot of 99th percentile things here in round two.

100 men vs. 1 gorilla?

How about the working class against the oligarchy?

The upward redistribution of wealth over the past 50 years has shifted $80 trillion from the bottom 90% of Americans to the top 1%.

This is the real fight we need to be talking about.

When your strategy is to be extra physical because they won’t call every foul, then you can’t complain that your opponent shot too many free throws.

Three U.S. citizens, ages 2, 4 and 7, swiftly deported from Louisiana The cases have renewed concerns that the Trump administration’s expedited deportations are violating the rights of both citizens and noncitizens.

This line is going to stick with me for a very long time.

“One of them is a 4-year-old with Stage 4 cancer who was deported without medication or the ability to contact their doctors…”
