PRIMARY DAY
I’ve done 8 stops so far - with more to go. MA VOTERS: You have 4.5 hours left to make it to the polls if you haven’t already.
So far, today has been GREAT. Horns beep as people drive by the Deaton Bus. I’ve also had both @sethmoulton and @EdMarkey voters tell me their general election vote is up for grabs and how much they like my solutions over slogans messaging.
It’s time we get past the labels and look at which candidate has the best ideas. They have never once said: “Don’t vote for Deaton because his ideas are bad.”

🚨NEW: There’s a notable nod to digital assets in the G20 Chair’s Statement released today by @SecScottBessent, with finance ministers and central bank governors from the 20 largest economies recognizing the potential of digital assets to support economic growth and committing to create “clear pathways” for responsible innovation.
The statement also calls for improvements to cross-border payments, including keeping the systems banks and central banks use to move large or time-sensitive payments open longer, encouraging wider use of ISO 20022 (a common global messaging standard used by banks), and making it easier to transmit financial services data across borders.
The group is also awaiting findings from the Financial Stability Board on the cross-border implications of global stablecoins.
GM! 🌞☕️
Back from what became a 3,000-plus-mile cross-country road trip with a detour through Canada.
We started in Wyoming and made our way through South Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan, then up to Ottawa and Québec City before heading back through Vermont and New York.
Great way to end the summer. Now back to work! 😌
Great point below.
@EdMarkey says voters deserve a “clear and complete picture” of a candidate’s finances. Then give us one.
For years, he’s released only his own tax return while refusing to release his wife’s - even though congressional disclosures show substantial household assets and income from consulting and investments.
Why does the transparency standard that he demands from everyone else not apply to his own household?
Voters have a right to see the ENTIRE TRUTH.
What is his wife’s compensation from consulting, nonprofits and NGOs?
What was her investment income?
Capitol gains?
Does she trade stocks?
Markey accused @sethmoulton of insider trading.
What about Markey’s wife?
Here’s a BIG ONE: was there any foreign-source income?
Is she on the payroll of a foreign company or organization? 🤷♂️
WHY NO TRANSPARENCY, ED?
Our thoughts are with those impacted by the devastating floods in Nepal and Tibet.🇳🇵
Ripple is donating $300,000 to @WCKitchen and @MercyCorps to support emergency meal distribution and water and sanitation efforts on the ground.
🚨NEW: The @USOCC and @FDICgov are moving to finalize a rule that would define the term “unsafe or unsound practices” in relation to bank supervision. This term has been undefined for years, and has relied on the broad discretion of bank examiners.
The rule would require supervisors to tie alleged unsafe or unsound practices to an actual violation of law or material financial risk, making it harder to use vague reputational or procedural concerns to pressure banks over lawful customers, including crypto companies.
It marks another significant step toward unwinding “Operation Choke Point 2.0.”
If you want to find out who I am and who I’ll represent in Washington and how I’ll handle and expose the corruption in DC then tune in and ask me ANYTHING. I won’t refuse to answer or hide behind talking points.
