Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.) noting that crypto payments will not influence their stance. The image aligns with the post by illustrating the political deadlock between Senate Republicans and Democrats over the Clarity Act, highlighting ethics concerns and crypto influence as central points of contention. > > "Crypto latest: There is a clear consensus among Senate Democrats right now that — without movement on ethics, illicit finance and stablecoin yield — a cloture vote this week on the Clarity Act will fail. Democrats won’t be moved by crypto cash at this point." --- ## Contributing Accounts - `@2024popcat` (https://x.com/2024popcat)
