I'm heading to the Senate Floor soon to request unanimous consent on adoption of the Toomey-Warner-Lummis-Sinema-Portman amendment. I urge my colleagues to join us in enacting this bipartisan clarification. Let's get this done. — PolitiTweet.org

Pat Toomey (US Sen. ret.) @SenToomey

I’m glad to announce @MarkWarner, @SenLummis, @SenatorSinema, @senrobportman and I have reached an agreement on an amendment that fixes crypto reporting requirements in the infrastructure bill. Full details: https://t.co/yLMXWRRRZ3 — PolitiTweet.org

The first principle here should be: DO NO HARM. The Warner-Portman-Sinema amendment will drive developers to create software outside of the U.S. I urge my colleagues to oppose it and join me, @RonWyden, and @SenLummis in protecting American innovation. — PolitiTweet.org

Now isn’t the time for the IRS to pick winners and losers with a new technology. Crypto has the potential to be the future of the internet. How foolish to crush it over a tax provision that possibly raises just $500 million per year more in a $1.2 TRILLION bill. — PolitiTweet.org

Pat Toomey (US Sen. ret.) @SenToomey

We can all agree that centralized exchanges should be subject to the reporting requirement included in this bill, just like brokers would be subject to report other assets. But why rush and get it wrong? — PolitiTweet.org

Pat Toomey (US Sen. ret.) @SenToomey

.@USTreasury wants maximum flexibility to regulate and tax crypto as they see fit. Congress should not allow that to happen. We need to have this debate in public and in full, especially before potentially disruptive changes are made that push crypto overseas. — PolitiTweet.org

Pat Toomey (US Sen. ret.) @SenToomey

The Warner-Portman plan exempts bitcoin miners, but not other transaction validators or software developers who create these platforms. What does that mean? Two identical services could receive dramatically different regulatory treatment depending on the technology used. — PolitiTweet.org

Pat Toomey (US Sen. ret.) @SenToomey

While I appreciate that my colleagues and the White House have acknowledged their original crypto tax had flaws, the Warner-Portman amendment picks winners and losers based on the type of technology employed. That’s horrible for innovation. — PolitiTweet.org

This is the right call. Hongkongers are facing abhorrent retribution for actions as simple as speaking out against Beijing’s crusade to undermine freedom, democracy, and basic rights in #HongKong. The United States stands with #HongKong in the face of China’s oppressive regime. — PolitiTweet.org

By clarifying the definition of broker, our amendment will ensure non-financial intermediaries like miners, network validators, and other service providers are not subject to the reporting requirements specified in the bipartisan infrastructure package. https://t.co/Fz09L3AyLL — PolitiTweet.org

Pat Toomey (US Sen. ret.) @SenToomey

While Congress works to better understand and legislate on issues surrounding the development and transaction of cryptocurrencies, it should be wary of imposing burdensome regulations that may stifle innovation. — PolitiTweet.org

Congress appropriated $47 billion of rental assistance to address this exact problem.   The admin’s time would be better spent dealing with its failure to get money owed to landlords rather than papering over its failures with illegal actions. — PolitiTweet.org

The eviction moratorium lacks both a legal basis and an economic justification.   Even the president admitted today that the "bulk of constitutional scholars say . . . it's not likely to pass constitutional muster." — PolitiTweet.org

Pat Toomey (US Sen. ret.) @SenToomey

The bipartisan infrastructure package includes a hastily-designed tax reporting regime for cryptocurrency. Simply put, the text is unworkable. I plan to offer an amendment to fix it. https://t.co/LD1Bfwh4yh — PolitiTweet.org

I’m calling on the administration to vocally condemn Tehran’s attempted abduction and likely execution of Masih, and to hold the regime accountable for its brazen terror plot against an American citizen on U.S. soil. — PolitiTweet.org
