@RepBryanSteil
Proudly serving the people of Wisconsin’s 1st Congressional District. @HouseAdmin Chairman & @FinancialCmte Crypto Subcommittee Chairman.



GREAT NEWS: Committee passed our bill to ensure Members of Congress don't receive their pay while DHS is shutdown and TSAs not paid! 🎥⬇️

🚨 BREAKING: The "No Pay During Shutdowns Act," which would BAR members of Congress from receiving paychecks, has just PASSED out of the US House committee, per @RepBryanSteil This should've been done a LONG time ago. If our troops don't get paid, NEITHER SHOULD CONGRESS! Send the bill to the President's desk!


EXCLUSIVE — Sen. @PeteRicketts (R-NE) will be introducing legislation that would ban members of Congress and their families from buying stocks. trib.al/GOOgnjE

Lawmakers shouldn't be collecting a paycheck when hardworking TSA agents are forced to work without pay.


🚨 Starting NOW 🚨 Chairman @RepBryanSteil holds a full committee markup of the Withhold Member Pay During Shutdowns Act and other measures. Watch: youtube.com/watch?v=ovYfAK…

🚨JUST IN: The @SECGov and @CFTC have issued joint, Commission-level interpretive guidance outlining how federal securities laws apply to certain crypto assets and transactions. This follows a submission to OIRA earlier this month signaling the agencies’ intent, and was approved by all three SEC commissioners (Atkins, Peirce, Uyeda) as well as @ChairmanSelig. The guidance establishes a token taxonomy and addresses how activities like staking, mining, airdrops, and wrapping are treated under existing law. Notably, SEC Chair @SECPaulSAtkins says it reflects that most crypto assets are not themselves securities and that investment contracts can come to an end. While interpretive guidance doesn’t change the law, it reflects how regulators intend to apply it, giving the market a clearer directional signal. Separately, this is distinct from the SEC’s still-pending rulemaking on crypto asset offerings.

I am currently in Houston on my way to a book event in Florida. I am hearing horror stories from passengers caught up in the Democratic shutdown. It is outrageous that these members are continuing to receive their pay while these federal employees cannot support their families...
