A statement from WIRED leadership.

I genuinely appreciate the Senator doing the right thing now, but it was only after doing the wrong thing by voting to advance this bad bill from committee. Time will tell if @gallego.senate.gov actually stands against Trump’s crypto corruption. Actions speak louder than words.

BIG ANNOUNCEMENT: I’m coming back to TV on August 22. Pre-order now @ everyoneislying.com/watch

R Senators: Mr. President, the only way any Ds will vote for this bill is if it includes an ethics provision. Trump: GTFOOH www.politico.com/live-updates...

Happening now: Stop Trump’s crypto corruption presser at the Capitol. Aiming to—at a minimum—prevent politicians from backing crypto, a move that has made Trump more than $1B in office. Featuring Sens. Murphy, Merkley, and Van Hollen; Ben McKenzie; Indivisible; & American for Financial Reform

In fairness to Trump, passing a bill that would allow his crypto corruption to continue does honor Graham’s legacy. www.cnbc.com/2026/07/13/t...

“The idea of hereditary legislators is as inconsistent as that of hereditary judges, or hereditary juries; and as absurd as an hereditary mathematician, or an hereditary wise man; and as ridiculous as an hereditary poet laureate.” - Thomas Paine, “Rights of Man,” 1791

I made it, folks. Badge of honor.

Go see this movie. You will laugh. You will cry. You will shake your fist.

The perfect distillation of con that is crypto: a million lose so that a few insiders can make out like bandits. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/04/u...

If you are a fan of Louis Theroux and want to see Sam Bankman Fried break world records for awkward interviews, this is worth it

NEW: Americans are pessimistic about the future. But which actors do they think are having the worst impact on the economy/society? Voters find the most harmful actors to be: 1) Billionaires 2) Corporate landlords 3) Sports gambling 4) Artificial intelligence 5) Cryptocurrency

PRE-ORDER to STREAM my movie about how crypto is dumb and bad NOW @: everyoneislying.com

Isn’t it Hakeem’s job to patch things up? If, you know, he’s the “leader”?

"In many ways, he’s like a magician pulling infinite bunnies out of a hat, except the bunnies are tax fraud. We can't think of a precedent in modern history. But is this good or bad? We’ll leave that question to the historians."

I wonder if it had anything to do with the $10 million Gallego’s campaign got from from the crypto lobby in 2024.

look, after having to explain what “The OC” was to my Gen Z colleagues after @benmckenzie.bsky.social’s documentary, I’m just glad I won’t have to spend the rest of the year telling them about “The Hills.” truly, this is a rare victory for old millennials

A friendly reminder as you enjoy tonight’s Knicks game: Madison Square Garden, where the match is being held, is an insane surveillance panopticon. Read our @wired.com investigation if you haven’t already:

Bye crypto. It was a pain in the ass knowing you.

"It is clear that Hollywood has no interest in historical representation and is instead focused on pushing a single agenda—putting as many white people from the Greater Boston area in television shows and movies as humanly possible."

Is it that some of the worst people on the planet have to eat shit?

Inflation hedge, store of value, future of money, blah blah blah 🤡

Just sayin.

your regular reminder that Reform published a draft bill in May last year which promised to deregulate the crypto industry and cut stamp duty on transactions from 24% to 10%

You know we’re in a bad place when I agree with Jamie Dimon. Welcome to the resistance, JP Morgan Chase. www.politico.com/news/2026/05...

Ken Paxton just gave an Epstein-style deal to a pedophile. Paxton released Adam Hoffman — an admitted child rapist — back on our streets after Paxton’s rich lawyer friend got involved. The Epstein Class has no place in Texas. Ken Paxton has no place in the US Senate.

Hoffman “was first arrested and charged in 2022 for repeated instances of sexual abuse with a 10-year-old boy, a first-degree felony, and was facing life without parole.” Corrupt Ken Paxton is endangering children.

you might think Trump is too big for the Streisand Effect but I don’t think average folks know about Carroll and I look forward to everyone knowing

"The remaining 5 percent concerns only the final portion of the hill, the tendency of the boulder to inevitably roll back down to the very beginning, the eternal nature of my punishment, and the fact that Hades has not technically agreed to alter any terms."

Congress is prepping a new gift for the crypto industry that could turbocharge Trump's crypto corruption and help "make the Trump family Vanderbilt-level rich." The legislation keeps advancing as the crypto industry keeps buysing seats in Congress zeteo.com/p/trump-cryp...

Honestly, one of the funniest tweets I've ever seen.

I know I’ve been yapping a lot about the perils of putting crypto and prediction markets in the hands of the CFTC, but 👇🏼 is precisely why it matters…

New: The CLARITY Act hits the Senate floor as WSJ reports Iran is still using Binance—Trump's business partner—to move money. At minimum, senators must bar the president, his family & sr. officials from issuing, promoting, or profiting from the digital assets me, for @publiccitizen.bsky.social

Our Comm Sec, whose firm represents the financial interests of the largest crypto co in the world Tether— whose coin is one of the primary instruments of global criminal activity—bought off house Rs so they wouldn’t press him on his relationship to the world’s most notorious pedophile.

As someone who covers crypto and thinks about it more than I’d like, I liked this. @benmckenzie.bsky.social has a real knack for articulating, in terms we all understand, what’s so unsettling about crypto. And he did so much better job grilling SBF on campaign donations than any of us journos did…

Republicans in disarray

This is absolute nonsense *BEZOS: US DOESN'T HAVE A REVENUE PROBLEM, IT HAS A SPENDING ONE

For those interested, there’s a terrific new book on 💵 out today @bhgreeley.bsky.social www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/634502...

Hawai’i just passed a bill that undermine Citizens United. The bill establishes corporations as “artificial persons” without the right to spend money on elections. The bill could limit the influence of super PACs and be a model to challenge the influence of money in politics.

🤣🤣🤣 FLIP FLOPS?! You go on national TV in a suit that likely costs more than my car and FLIP FLOPS?! What is even happening anymore 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Also, these young women are fantastic! 🔥 #SheShed

Today you can watch the Senate Banking Committee pass a *bipartisan* deregulatory crypto bill written by Trump and the crypto industry or you can watch @chrislhayes.bsky.social and @benmckenzie.bsky.social discuss Crypto and the Golden Age of Scams youtu.be/oobzEdKmL08?...

Christopher Harbone is Tether, the largest crypto company in the world.
