The GOP is pushing a crypto bill — the so-called “GENIUS Act” — which would allow the Trump family to make billions while destabilizing our economy and leaving working people vulnerable to scams.
Our Revolution activists and allies greeted the Grifter-in-Chief and his crypto financiers as they arrived at Trump National Golf Club to buy influence with the president.
We were joined by Sen. Jeff Merkley and our allies at Public Citizen to make it clear that AMERICA IS NOT FOR SALE. “This is the Mount Everest of corruption,” the senator said.
The NY Times, Common Dreams, and many other news outlets took notice, amplifying our action to crack down on Trump’s crypto corruption.
Joseph Geevarghese, executive director of Our Revolution, said Trump’s meme coin is worthless without the access it buys. “Invest in the coin and you’ll get a seat at the table,” he said. “We’re here to send a message to Trump: Our democracy is not for sale.”
Our activists shouted ‘shame, shame, shame’ as the presidential motorcade arrived. And, the White House felt the heat, putting out a video of Trump saying he puts “the country way ahead of the business.” Sureeee.

US Senators Elizabeth Warren and Jeff Merkley joined our LIVE Town Hall to break down Trump’s crypto corruption — and this week, our activists took to Capitol Hill to bird-dog Congress members — including senators like Cory Booker, who joined 15 other Democrats to advance the bill.
Our Revolution also held a virtual town hall on Tuesday to hold Sen. Angela Alsobrooks accountable for her vote for the GOP crypto bill.
The senator didn’t show up, but our movement did. And on Thursday, we delivered your messages directly to Alsobrooks’ office and asked her why she would enable Trump’s crypto corruption and empower the tech oligarchs.
This is more than just about crypto — it’s about taking a stand against the billionaire takeover of our government.
