#RubenGallego

New Dem Sen #RubenGallego is criticizing the ineptness of the #HouthiChatGroup, but Gallego just voted to confirm a man for Sec of the Navy who has never had any military or law enforcement training or actually served in any branch of the military. His qualification for the job: he's a large Trump donor. Gallego also voted for Ratcliffe & Rubio

When you vote to confirm idiots or those completely ill equipped to lead a branch of government or the military, you get what you vote for.

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.

Good article in The Prospect about the coming STABLE and GENIUS acts, which will give an implicit bail out guarantee to crypto money laundering firms - sorry, i mean "stablecoins" - like #Tether and #Circle (#Coinbase). One of the two would also let #ElonMusk print his own dollars.

Senate #Democrats like #KirstenGillibrand, #ElissaSlotkin, and #RubenGallego, whose election campaigns were supported by incredible amounts of crypto money, will probably make sure these bills become laws (because they are corrupt).

Note that stablecoins are currently incredibly profitable businesses. After all a stablecoin is basically a bank where you spend nothing on anti-money laundering & other regulations, refuse to assist customers who have been scammed, and collect 5% interest from the US government while passing absolutely none of it on to your customers.

An excellent interview with Democratic Sen. Ruben Gallego of Arizona.
Among other things, he thinks Democrats should get out of their blue bubbles and try to expand their reach in Trump areas.
He's right. You don't win elections by preaching to the choir.
Even if a town of 5,000 is 80% GOP, that still leaves 1,000 potential supporters.

#RubenGallego you 're off to a shitty start. A Marine is always prepared, yet you don't even have a website or a phone number, wtf??? Come on man. Arizona is counting on you and you are ASLEEP at the switch. Your vote for #LakenRiley was boneheaded naivete at best, in reality proves you are unprepared for battle! FFS get your shit together or GTFO.
cc: @mayorkategallego is this your ex? Tell him to get his everloving shit together, or change your name. This bullshit amateur hour is a bad look
