The house in #Arizona just passed bills to allow up to 10% of the state's treasury (including retirement funds for teachers, firemen, etc) to be "invested" in cryptocurrency. This gives Arizona the dubious distinction of being more fiscally irresponsible than even pro-crypto states like Oklahoma, North Dakota, and Montana, whose attempts at similar bills were defeated in their legislatures.
I suspect hilarity will ensue in just a few years if this actually gets signed into law by #KatieHobbs.
As has been reported, the Democratic leadership is busy stopping any meaningful change within its organization, and it is not only happening on the national level, it is also happening at the state level
Cory Booker is not the solution. He embraces war criminals, votes for more #genocide, and accepts truckloads of blood money from #apartheid lobbyists.
Senator Booker is part of the problem.
“Palestine solidarity activists disrupted Cory Booker and Mark Kelly at a town hall in Tucson, AZ.”

Democratic Senator #RubenGallego (#Arizona) did a $5,000 a plate dinner with broligarch /Nerd Reich billionaire #MarcAndreessen and Matt Yglesias at the same time as #AOC and #BernieSanders were doing their recent rally in #Tucson.
The US Congress has been captured by the industry on both sides, not just the Republicans. Gallego was one of the largest recipients of the money laundering industry's - sorry, i mean "the crypto industry's" - financial support in the 2024 election. He's a disaster for the country.
Some good news here.
