Gillibrand urges Dems to press ahead on crypto bill amid internal party debate

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand privately urged fellow Democrats to vote to advance the Clarity Act so the Senate can begin debate on a major cryptocurrency bill. Her push highlights a split in the party: she supports stronger consumer protections and a robust stance, while progressives, led by Elizabeth Warren, argue the measure is too favorable to crypto interests. The procedural vote is not final passage and depends on 60 votes to begin full debate, with Republicans releasing revised text that could win more support but remains uncertain.

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) will chair the Senate Aging Committee's first hearing on menopause to push for more federal funding for menopause research, better clinician training, and a government study on the issue, arguing the condition is underfunded and underrecognized—and tying the effort to Democrats’ health‑care and cost‑of‑living priorities ahead of the midterms.

Progressives Pressure Gillibrand Over Crypto Ethics in CLARITY Act Talks

Progressive groups launched a sharp critique of Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand as she brokers a compromise on the CLARITY Act’s ethics provisions, arguing her ties to the crypto industry and her son’s involvement undermine Democratic credibility. Gillibrand supports a ban on elected officials and spouses issuing their own digital assets; Republicans, the White House, and the crypto industry are racing to secure 60 votes, with the ethics language remaining the main obstacle to a deal amid heavy industry fundraising and ongoing negotiations.
