🚨NEW: @SenThomTillis (R-NC) says he’s ready to push the Clarity Act forward to a markup.
“I’m going to ask the chair to move forward with scheduling a markup when we get back… I think we’ve made a lot of progress… and it’s time to get it before the committee to move it forward,” Tillis told my inimitable friend and former colleague @ChaseWilliams_ in a reporter gaggle on Capitol Hill this morning following the Warsh vote.
Tillis went on to say most bank concerns on stablecoin yield have been heard and addressed, adding that others are welcome to “come and work in good faith.”
On timing: Tillis hopes to release legislative text on stablecoin yield 4–5 days before a markup after stakeholders get a preview.
On software developers and how law enforcement views the potential impact on enforcement under the 1960 criminal statute, a new flag Tillis raised this week, he pointed to @SenLummis’ approach, saying he’s “generally in support” of where the bill stands.

What matters is not release of some subset of the Epstein files, but rather the prosecution of those who committed heinous crimes with Epstein.
When there is at least one arrest, some justice will have been done. If not, this is all performative. Nothing but a distraction.
Earlier today, Grok was unfortunately manipulated by adversarial prompting into saying absurdly positive things about me.
For the record, I am a fat retard 😀
