Acting Administrator of the General Services Administration, Rep. Lance Gooden, calls for installing #Bitcoin ATMs in federal buildings as an 'educational resource'.

Rep. Shri Thanedar garnered attention by formally seeking the removal of President Donald Trump from his position. Being the first House Democrat, Thanedar introduced seven articles of impeachment against the President. Announcing the move on Monday, the Michigan congressman cited multiple alleged constitutional violations as the basis for his action. The seven articles cover a range of issues from the deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia to allegations against the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Thanedar stated that Garcia was mistakenly sent to El Salvador, while the DOGE cut funds without congressional approval. Other complaints focus on Trump’s tariff policies, ill-treating reporters, alleged judicial system corruption, and data privacy concerns, which Thanedar described as “tyrannical overreach.” “I have introduced articles of impeachment against President Trump,” Thanedar stated in his announcement online. “When Trump ignores the Constitution, Congress, and the courts, he is not ‘fighting for America.’ He is tearing it down and endangering our democracy.” The impeachment effort comes amid growing concern among Democrats following the Trump Organization’s release of “Trump 2028” hats on its website. This is seen by critics as supporting the president’s suggestion that he might seek a third term in office.

The process would require Republican support to win a vote on the articles, and even if passed, it would require a two-thirds majority for conviction in the Senate, which is also under the control of Republicans. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) offered a cautious response when asked about the move, stating that the articles had not been evaluated and there had been no opportunity to talk with Thanedar. The impeachment filing comes at a politically sensitive time for Thanedar, who garnered a second primary challenger on Monday morning. His statement emphasized his belief that Trump is unfit to serve as President and is a clear danger to the nation’s constitution and democracy. While Thanedar’s effort marks the first formal impeachment push by a House Democrat this year, it likely won’t be the last. Last month, Rep. Al Green (D-Texas), who was censured for disrupting Trump’s speech to a joint session of Congress, indicated that he is planning to introduce his own articles of impeachment as well. Thanedar could theoretically force a floor vote on impeachment, though he has not indicated whether he plans to use this procedural option. For now, his action stands primarily as a symbolic protest against the president’s policies and behavior, with little chance of advancing through Congress.

Former Rep. Patrick McHenry predicts a 'wicked hot summer' for crypto legislation

Rep. Velázquez targets Puerto Rico crypto tax loophole with new bill

U.S. legislators are pushing for clearer regulations on crypto, in an effort to keep the $2.7 trillion crypto industry in the U.S. U.S. Congress is seeing another major push for regulatory clarity on crypto. On April 9, the House financial services committee’s subcommittee on Digital Assets, Financial Technology, and Artificial Intelligence held a hearing on crypto regulation. The goal of the hearing was to find ways to align U.S. securities laws with the realities of the digital age, especially with regard to crypto assets. In his remark to the committee, House Financial Services Committee Chairman French Hill commended the committee’s “bipartisan efforts to bring clarity and stability” to crypto assets. He also stated that he hoped that there would be meaningful legislation by the end of 2025. WATCH: Chairman @RepFrenchHill delivers opening remarks at today’s Subcommittee hearing: "It is incumbent on us to build on that momentum and continue working toward a comprehensive regulatory framework that establishes clear rules of the road for digital asset markets." 📺⬇️ pic.twitter.com/sEg0jHeshS “It is incumbent on us to build on that momentum and continue working toward a comprehensive regulatory framework that establishes clear rules of the road for digital asset markets… I look forward to hearing from our whitnesses today, and working with coleagues to get this across the finishline this year,” Rep. French Hill Despite offering criticism to the SEC, especially under Gary Gensler, committee members highlighted the SEC’s role in regulation. Subcommittee chairman Bryan Steil stated that the SEC would have a role in regulating token offerings. “At the same time, the Committee feels strongly that there is a role for the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to play in the digital asset ecosystem. For example, the Committee believes that issuers raising capital through the sale of new digital assets should fall under the jurisdiction of the SEC,” Rep. Bryan Steil This would likely not include memecoins, as the SEC, already under Gensler, ruled that memecoins were not securities. The rationale was that memecoins had no utility and are more akin to collectibles. The committee did face opposition, especially when Rep. Maxine Waters took the floor. She accused the members of the committee of favoritism toward Donald Trump’s crypto ventures, enabling him to become “crypto king.” The hearing is a part of the latest regulatory push to give clarity to crypto assets in the U.S. For instance, on May 22, the U.S. House passed the Financial Innovation and Technology for the 21st Century Act with bipartisan support.
