Dear Leader Thune and Leader Schumer:
On September 15, the Senate has a choice: vote to protect American consumers and bring long-overdue clarity to digital asset markets, or allow an uncertain and inadequate status quo to continue.
Congress has spent years working toward this moment. Members of both parties, congressional committees, regulators, staff, and stakeholders have devoted countless hours to hearings, negotiations, technical discussions, and difficult policy questions. That work has produced carefully negotiated compromises throughout the Clarity Act, including on complex issues such as stablecoin rewards and protections for software developers.
We, the undersigned, are American consumers, investors, users, and participants in the digital asset economy. We need clarity and protection too. Americans should know what rules apply, what protections they can count on, and who is responsible when those rules are violated. A clear federal framework can provide those safeguards and give consumers greater confidence that the markets and products they use are subject to meaningful oversight.
After years of debate, Congress has done the hard work of bringing competing perspectives together and developing a path forward. Walking away now would squander that progress and leave the more than 67 million American consumers who invest in and use digital assets exposed to the same uncertainty Congress has spent years trying to address.
September 15 is a make-or-break moment.
A vote for the Clarity Act is a vote to protect consumers, establish clear and enforceable rules of the road, and ensure that the future of digital asset markets is built in the United States and governed by a comprehensive American regulatory framework.
We urge you and your colleagues to vote yes on September 15 and pass the Clarity Act.
Sincerely,
The undersigned Americans

Nadezhda Popova flew 852 combat missions in a canvas-and-plywood biplane built as a 1920s trainer, gliding over German lines at night with her engine cut to drop bombs in silence. She was one of the Night Witches, the all-female bomber regiment the Germans feared, and she is one of the great stories of the war.
The Soviet Union, uniquely, sent women into combat in large numbers, and among the most extraordinary were the pilots of the 588th Night Bomber Regiment, flown entirely by young women, from the pilots to the mechanics. Their aircraft was almost a joke on paper, the Polikarpov Po-2, a slow, open-cockpit wooden biplane with a tiny engine, a machine so obsolete it seemed suicidal to take it to war. But in the dark it became a weapon of terror.
Their tactic was as brave as it was cunning. They would fly toward the German lines at night, and as they neared the target, cut their engines and glide in silently, so the first the enemy knew of them was the whistle of the wind over their wings just before the bombs fell. The Germans, unnerved by the eerie whooshing sound in the darkness, gave them the name Nachthexen, the Night Witches. The women flew mission after mission, night after night, sometimes a dozen or more sorties in a single night, landing to rearm and taking straight off again, in aircraft with no armor, no parachutes for much of the war, and no guns to defend themselves.
Popova was one of the most celebrated of them all, flying 852 missions over the course of the war, an almost unbelievable number, including as many as eighteen in one night. She was shot down or forced down repeatedly and always came back. She once returned from a mission to find 42 bullet holes in her little biplane, in the wings, the fuselage, even her helmet. She kept flying.
She survived the war, one of the many Night Witches to be made a Hero of the Soviet Union, married a fellow pilot she had met at the front, and lived to a great age, dying in 2013. She said once that she sometimes stared up at the night sky in her old age and could not believe she had done it, flown all those nights, in that little plane, against all that fire, and lived.
During a trip to South Sudan, war photographer Jan Grarup met a young boy wearing a badly damaged AC Milan jersey 🇸🇸
The photographer, a fan of AC Milan, then offered the kid to exchange his damaged jersey for a new one. The kid accepted and the photographer then gave the damaged jersey to AC Milan who decided to place it in their museum and collaborate with UNICEF by making a huge donation and launching projects to help children in South Sudan. 👏
Respect 🙏❤️
