Living in NH, I simply get used to the expectation that if there are many democrats in the senate making a disappointing vote that mine will be on that list. Thus I was pleasantly surprised to see both Hassan and Shaheen on the "nay" list.
Surprised Klobuchar isn’t on the list. Great proof that she isn’t a moderate Dem, she’s calculated. She’ll go moderate about kitchen table and agriculture issues. Crypto is a no-go.
Gillibrand and Schumer both voted for this shit. Do they think they have to vote for financial corruption because Wall Street is in New York, or is this mainly due to contributions they're getting from financial organizations? Either way, Gillibrand is giving her opponent in the primaries a lot of material to work with, and it would be especially interesting for Tish James, who prosecutes financial fraud based on New York State's tough laws, to run against her.
Gillibrand probably genuinely supports it (remember, she's an ex-Blue Dog, her apparently moving to the left was her attempt at triangulation). Schumer...probably would have voted against it if it looked like it would be a close vote.

Probably both.
I’d like to see James take on Hochul.

What was the point in voting for it when it wasn't a close vote?
