Let us give a toast to those of the Greatest Generation who are no longer with us and those who will soon depart this earth. They gave us a world far better than they inherited.

@BeRadzz@SecScottBessent Yes but to pass the CLARITY Act in the Senate, at least 7 to 10 Dems must vote in favor of the bill. Republicans hold 53 seats and the legislation requires a 60-vote threshold to overcome a filibuster and move forward on the floor.
More than a year ago, the House passed the Clarity Act.
There’s been progress since — thousands of hours of bipartisan negotiations took place at the staff and Member levels. The Senate Committees on Banking and Agriculture advanced their respective titles. And Senate Republicans produced a floor-ready product that, as I type this, is waiting for a vote.
It’s disappointing — but not surprising — that Senate Democrats are choosing politics on the cusp of a major victory for American leadership. Find another instance in history where Congress, when given the choice, opted to push an industry out of the United States rather than smartly regulate it. American Exceptionalism was once a bipartisan goal; if Clarity fails, I have serious doubts.
These same Democrats — many of whom have taken millions of dollars from the crypto industry — proclaim that Clarity lacks safeguards for consumers and falls short in countering illicit finance. Nothing could be further from the truth. Titles II and III materially uplift regulatory and compliance obligations for digital asset intermediaries, placing them on similar footing with traditional financial institutions. The Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act — which Washington lobbyists have spun up as a boogeyman for certain groups of prosecutors and law enforcement — does nothing other than codify longstanding Treasury Department policy that’s remained consistent across Administrations: non-custodial builders and developers are not, and have never been, subject to registration obligations under the Bank Secrecy Act. And at this point, major law enforcement trades that once opposed the bill, including the Fraternal Order of Police, have now endorsed it.
The Senate needs to vote NOW on this landmark legislation. The truth is that Senate Democrats are afraid to advance the Clarity Act as they fear Senator Warren and the “Anti-Crypto Army” she once promised to build. In the days ahead, Leader Thune will put this theory to the test. Will Senate Democrats be on the side of American Exceptionalism, or will they opt to cede American leadership of a global industry for fear of the bespectacled squirrel’s Left flank?
America will lead or America won’t. It’s not more complicated than that. I believe Satoshi once said it best:
“If you don’t believe me or don’t get it, I don’t have time to try to convince you, sorry.”
An Access to Information request filed by Blacklock’s Reporter (@mindingottawa) has uncovered a federal government strategy for monitoring, organizing, assessing and responding to online "misinformation" — including contemplated legal action against individual Canadians. The 35-page internal Innovation, Science and Economic Development (ISED) document outlines a system for tracking online narratives, assessing individual posts, and escalating responses. It also contemplates legal action against Canadians over social media commentary.

@tozmoon911@TheJMB81@barstoolsports Marner did not score a single goal in an elimination game during his 9 years in the playoffs in Toronto. I also don't think Vegas will win the Cup this year—but of course, I could be wrong.
@TheJMB81@barstoolsports Good point & I agree. It is the only plausible explanation. Toronto was too much pressure, he couldn't handle the scrutiny & weight of the city.
Now, he is simply a secondary player, no 'A' on his sweater, Stone & Eichel drive the team & carry the weight. What else could it be?
@matthews2hell It is really mind boggling how the Leafs can go from Atlantic Division Champs & the only team to take Florida (who cake walked every other team) to 7 last year to being absolutely atrocious this year on so many levels.
The loss of Marner did not cause all of this either.
