Yesterday, I celebrated 11 years at Ripple. Back then, I couldn’t have predicted that we’d still be fighting for regulatory clarity.
The fight has been worth it. After a day in DC having great conversations with @SenatorHagerty, @berniemoreno, @SenatorTimScott, @JohnBoozman and @patrickjwitt - and on stage at @Semafor World Economic Summit - I know we are closer than ever.
The CLARITY Act window is open. And now is our moment to act.
"When people are at their peak frustration, that's when they finally compromise, and it gets done," @Ripple CEO @bgarlinghouse tells @JaxAlemany on his optimism for passage of the CLARITY Act. "I think we're there."

California legislators are trying to make investigating fraud illegal
California is trying to pass a bill that would criminalize investigative journalism with misdemeanors, $10,000 fines, imprisonment, and content takedown.
The proposed bill is titled AB 2624 and was made after I exposed mass fraud by immigrant groups in America.
Under AB 2624, government-funded entities like the Somali “Learing” Daycare centers would be protected from being exposed if they operated inside California.
The enemy truly is within. When our politicians would rather protect fraudsters and illegal migrants, it’s time for us to stand up or face mass oppression from the traitors who “rule” over us.

We were going to wait until just before the California Governor primary to NUKE Eric Swalwell out of the race with my recordings of him inebriated with lobbyists at dinner
But now that his DEMOCRAT friends are calling on him to DROP OUT, I guess I don’t have to wait! 🤣
Stay tuned for a drop in the coming days.
Swalwell spent his dinner bragging about "ORGlES" on Capitol Hill, telling them he's bored of his wife and "only wants to f*ck tens."
Worse, he spoke about ABUSING his power on the House Intel Committee (which he's since been booted off of), saying he pushed to SUBPOENA Ivanka Trump because she's "hot as f*ck"
THIS GUY MUST BE REMOVED FROM THE HOMELAND SECURITY COMMITTEE. He CANNOT keep his freaking mouth shut.
After I began questioning him, Swalwell jumped back into the group of lobbyists to hide from me, but I pressed on.
Dude looked absolutely TERRIFIED and 100% guilty.
He knows he's been caught.

This is our last chance to pass the Clarity Act until at least 2030. We can’t afford to surrender America’s financial future.
