Happy Birthday, Smokey Bear! For generations, he's reminded us that protecting our forests starts with each of us—helping save millions of acres of forest, wildlife habitat, and communities. Here in Wyoming, healthy forests matter.
Remember: Only YOU can prevent wildfires.
The @WSJ editorial board says the Clarity Act is "worth supporting"—then spends the rest of their opinion piece regurgitating tired Big Bank talking points from the 1970s and taking cheap shots at the President instead of making an actual case for their position. I had to set the record straight. ⬇️⬇️ https://t.co/sH8uZ6iRBC
Crypto latest: The Senate negotiations to get to August recess have snagged in part on the Clarity Act.
Sources involved in the talks say Democratic leadership continues pushing to delay a procedural crypto vote. Schumer wants to give talks more time. GOP is agitating for a vote
Chairman @SenatorTimScott is building momentum for the Clarity Act.
More Republicans are supporting a procedural vote to continue the conversation and advance clear rules of the road for digital assets.
Chairman @SenatorTimScott to @FoxBusiness’ @MariaBartiromo:
Passing the Clarity Act will create clear rules of the road for digital assets and strengthen America’s leadership in the future of finance.
Whip @SenJohnBarrasso is 100% right. It's time to cinch up and get this done to ensure our innovators in Wyoming and across the U.S. have the clarity they need to build a better financial future right here on U.S. soil.
America is safer and stronger when we innovate.
This year, Congress passed the first major digital asset bill in American history. It's called The GENIUS Act.
It's time for the Senate to build on that by passing The CLARITY Act.
Yesterday, my wife underwent an emergency appendectomy. While she is doing well, I will be home helping with recovery. During this time, I will likely miss a few votes and committee hearings.
There’s still work to be done before the Senate departs for August recess, and my office is still hard at work. I will be back on Capitol Hill as soon as I can be.
California bureaucrats have hijacked federal law to force their agenda on the ENTIRE country. One state shouldn't dictate national policy.
Proud to work with @SenEricSchmitt, @SenatorRicketts, @SenJonHusted to fight this radical climate overreach.⤵️

Good work by @RandPaul. Anthony Fauci did immense damage to this country and then chose to completely evade questions from Congress. The bureaucrats who lecture us on "the science" can't even answer basic questions under oath.
Accountability matters.
🚨 BREAKING: The Senate Homeland Security Committee voted to hold Dr. Anthony Fauci in contempt of Congress after he invoked the Fifth Amendment more than 100 times during last week's hearing.
I am continuing to work with Democrats every day on the Clarity Act. I worked late last night on the CFTC portion of the bill and I'm proud that @POTUS has gone further than any president in history to protect ethics.
Let's provide a clear regulatory framework and keep this industry here in the United States by passing the Clarity Act.
1/ Today’s @WSJ editorial makes the case for the Clarity Act’s core framework. But it gets two of the most carefully negotiated provisions wrong: stablecoin rewards and DeFi. The Clarity Act neither authorizes bank deposits by another name nor exempts financial intermediaries simply because they use blockchain technology.
WATCH: @SenLummis says the Clarity Act has strong law enforcement backing and includes unprecedented ethics safeguards.
“We've gotten a lot of support from law enforcement now who see this as a pro-law enforcement bill. And the President agreed to an ethics provision that no President has ever agreed to. He's gone farther to protect ethics than any President in history.”
1/ The editorial page of the WSJ is usually a great defender of free markets and economic competition. It’s a shame to see them take the side of regulatory protectionism in their op-ed on the CLARITY Act.
.@SenLummis discussing the Clarity Act vote:
"If this bill dies, the Democrats are going to have to kill it. We are going to vote on it so it can't die by no votes. And if it dies, it's going to be because the Democrats kill it..."
