"Normally a Candidate for U.S. Senate would probably not comment on the @SECGovs decision to appeal a District Court ruling. However Im not your typical Candidate and I spent hundreds of pro bono hours and over $75K of my own money fighting gross overreach and misconduct at the SEC in this particular case and on behalf of 75K token holders. All I asked the SEC to do was agree that XRP itself was NOT a security. It wasnt a very big ask considering Judge Castel in Telegram had specifically ruled that the Gram token like Bitcoin was nothing more than alphanumeric code and NOT the security. In"

"DISMISS CRYPTO CASES The day after @realDonaldTrump launches a Presidential Meme Coin and after attending the Inaugural Crypto Ball where Americas newly appointed Crypto Czar @DavidSacks declared the war on Crypto over promising America will usher in a Golden Age of Innovation I cant help but reflect on the last X years. Having filed amicus briefs in the @Ripple @LBRYcom and @coinbase cases representing users developers individual investors and content providers Im sitting here thinking about the incredible waste of time energy money and resources wasted during the last X years. @LBRYcom is"

"Happy Birthday Charlie. America was founded amid heated debate. Alexander Hamilton and James Madison who collaborated on The Federalist Papers to defend the Constitution later became fierce political rivals over the role of federal government. The Lincoln-Douglas debates were some of the most heated and consequential political debates in American history with slavery as their central issue. Whatever ones opinion of Charlie Kirk he was doing what America was founded on: passionate debate about the issues of our day. Charlie said: This is what I believe and why I believe it. Ill come to you -"

"The SEC sued Alex AFTER investors were defrauded and lost money. The SEC sued FTX AFTER investors were defrauded and lost money. The SEC cant catch every thing I understand that. But the point here is look at the level of resources energy and time spent focusing and suing good actors who may or may not have violated Section X - in essence failure to make disclosures. The SEC has spent all this time and energy on @Ripple @coinbase @dragonchain and the list goes on. All non-fraud cases. Where are the meeting notes emails and correspondence between Gensler/SEC and SBFraud/FTX Was there a deal"

"I was raised by a single mother on welfare and food stamps. What @WhipKClark just acknowledged is absolutely despicable and she should be ashamed of herself. Dont ever claim to stand up for working or poor people. You dont use working families and poor children as leverage because you dont like or agree with the policies implemented by a duly elected president. Otherwise the minority party could routinely attempt to nullify the results of an election by using a shutdown as leverage. Maybe its time the left stops trying to save democracy by sacrificing democracy"

"To say the regulatory environment in America has significantly improved in less than a year would be more than understatement. To be candid although clearly simple to accomplish (i.e. put the right people in the right jobs) two years ago it seemed unimaginable. Congratulations 🎊🍾 🎈"
