The digital asset industry can’t wait any longer for regulatory clarity. This bipartisan Clarity Act provides the framework America needs to lead in financial innovation while protecting consumers. Both parties contributed to every section. Let’s get this done!
The separation of powers among different branches of government is the greatest guarantor of liberty ever devised by the human mind. No single branch, or person, can amass too much power if checked by the others. But a formal separation of powers means nothing if one branch has the means to intimidate the others into surrendering their constitutional prerogatives. What is happening now in Brazil 🇧🇷underscores this point: a single Justice of the Supreme Court has usurped dictatorial power by threatening leaders of the other branches, or their families, with arrest, imprisonment, or other penalties. This person has destroyed Brazil’s historically close relationship with the U.S. by, among other things, attempting to apply Brazilian law extraterritorially to silence individuals and companies on U.S. soil. And the situation is unprecedented and anomalous precisely because that person wears a judicial robe: whereas we can always negotiate with leaders of a country’s executive or legislative branches, there is no way to negotiate with a judge, who must maintain the pretense that all his actions are dictated by law. So we find ourselves in a dead end where the usurper cloaks himself in the rule of law and the other branches insist that they are powerless to act. If anyone can think of a precedent in human history where a single unelected judge has seized control of his nation’s fate, please advise. We want to return to our historic friendship with the great nation of Brazil!
An Open Message to @realDonaldTrump
Mr. President,
As the only Brazilian-American elected official in the State of Texas, I humbly ask you to consider a new approach to the current and escalating crisis between Brazil and the United States.
Brazilian corporations—known in their country as “national champions”—are operating freely both in the U.S. and in Brazil.
While they benefit from U.S. markets, they simultaneously fund and sustain the socialist regime in Brazil through donations, political influence, and unfair trade advantages.
Further sanctions and embargoes will ultimately punish the most vulnerable people of Brazil—not the powerful elites or the corrupt political establishment.
Instead, I humbly ask you to act in a more precisely way: target those corporations that support tyranny while profiting in the United States. Restrict their operations. Block their access to US markets. This could be the key to resolving a complex international crisis with far less suffering.
For the best interest of America—and for the millions of Brazilians who admire and support the American people—I respectfully urge you:
Please hear our plea.

Carta aberta ao Presidente Trump.
Sr. Presidente,
Como o único brasileiro americano eleito em cargo público no Estado do Texas, peço humildemente que considere uma nova linha de ação na crescente crise entre Brasil e Estados Unidos.
As chamadas “campeãs nacionais” brasileiras atuam livremente tanto no Brasil quanto nos Estados Unidos. Elas lucram no mercado americano, mas sustentam o regime socialista no Brasil com doações, influência política e vantagens comerciais desleais.
Mais sanções econômicas ou embargos afetarão, acima de tudo, os brasileiros mais vulneráveis — e não os grandes empresários nem o sistema corrupto.
Peço que aja com precisão: mire nas empresas que alimentam a tirania e ainda lucram nos Estados Unidos. Restrinja suas operações. Bloqueie seu acesso. Essa pode ser a chave para resolver uma crise internacional com menos sofrimento.
Pelo bem dos Estados Unidos — e dos milhões de brasileiros que amam o povo americano — deixo meu apelo:
Por favor, ouça nosso pedido.
The decision to close the 𝕏 office in Brazil was difficult, but, if we had agreed to @alexandre’s (illegal) secret censorship and private information handover demands, there was no way we could explain our actions without being ashamed.
Civis salvaram civis no RS?
Sim, inclusive amigos pessoais meus. Vários. Heróis. Milhares de resgates.
Civis estão provendo água, mantimentos, abrigos, remédios.
Civis estão provendo logística, transporte, combustível.
Civis estão provendo barcos, lanchas, jetskis, helicópteros, aviões.
Civis das cidades afetadas, do estado, do Brasil e fora dele.
Civis estão provendo segurança. Estão reconstruindo ruas, estradas, pontes.
Estão ajudando a consertar a infraestrutura de saneamento e tratamento de águas. A rede elétrica.
Civis vão limpar as cidades. Civis vão reconstruir as cidades. Civis vão reerguer o estado do RS.
Civis estão provendo esperança. Civis estão esbanjando virtude.
E nós faremos tudo isso com ou sem o estado, com ou apesar do estado. Mas nós faremos.
Que Deus abençoe esse povo aguerrido e bravo.
Coming shortly, ���� will publish everything demanded by @Alexandre and how those requests violate Brazilian law.
This judge has brazenly and repeatedly betrayed the constitution and people of Brazil. He should resign or be impeached.
Shame @Alexandre, shame.
