It would financially benefit the Trump family and make Wall Street traders rich.
We must ensure that U.S. companies cannot be secretly ordered to facilitate the surveillance of Americans.
The U.S. government cannot allow foreign governments to coerce U.S. companies into conducting surveillance against Americans, least of all our own intelligence, military, and diplomatic personnel.
A man who will not even acknowledge that Joe Biden won the 2020 election cannot be trusted to protect the American people from abuses of the most powerful surveillance apparatus the world has ever seen.

We call on our respective Committees to hold hearings to investigate the national security implications of President Trump’s cryptocurrency holdings.
I also cannot support new authorities included in the bill which seek to deepen and accelerate cooperation with Israeli contractors on surveillance and AI technologies that are ripe for abuse.
It’s always a good day when Oregon takes our deserved spot in the “FAST lane” for national leadership in semiconductor innovation and manufacturing.
