“This is a surveillance state in the making.” Senator Cynthia Lummis, objecting tonight to Elizabeth Warren’s bill.

@SenLummis I love you Cynthia Lummis! Your awesome!

@SenLummis You are slaves, captured by the fiat system. Bitch and holler, and conform. Bitcoin doesn't care.

@SenLummis BIG BANK BETH IS AN ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE

@SenLummis Sucks we're losing a good politician but keeping the terrible ones.

@SenLummis @SenWarren is a MORON

@SenLummis If you and Scott, after all this time, can’t land this plane, and get this Clarity Act jammed through, with all the revisions, you two simply have been played for months!

@SenLummis @SenLummis is awesome!

@SenLummis Elizabeth Warren is in the back pocket of Warren Buffett the representative of the bank and bank banking Democrats are making the same mistake as they did before the general election

@SenLummis When nearly every demand is met and they still block rules that would make illicit money harder to hide, one question remains: Whose money trail are they so desperate to keep in the dark? @SenWarren #FollowTheMoney #CLARITYAct

@SenLummis Truth!!! The surveillance state must be stopped before Artificial General Intelligence arrives!

@SenLummis Fuck this bitch. It is controlled by her friends we need to disregard the corporation of the USA and they have jurisdiction in ONLY Washington DC war of 1812 the rest is treason and unlawful

@JakeMense @SenLummis I’m gonna miss Cynthia. 🥺

@SenLummis The surveillance state has been alive and well for some time now.

@SenLummis But $TRUMP supports surveillance via Flock camera - so what's the difference here? Lummis won't speak out against that..

@SenLummis Spit in the ground next time, SL, ma'am!

@SenLummis Senator Kindergarten is an idiot. She is 💯 ALL IN on the surveillance state. Just take a look at the 600+ pages of legalize stupidity to prove it.

@SenLummis AMEN QUEEN

@SenLummis True freedom fighter @lumis

@SenLummis well said

@SenLummis Calling any crypto bill a surveillance state is lazy. Which exact provision crosses that line?

@SenLummis We built our whole business around not having the list, and I still can't get around the fact that our ATM has to know something about you. The gap between "we minimize data" and "we hold none" is where every breach this week lived.

The surveillance framing targets the reporting and KYC provisions specifically. Worth reading which sections she is objecting to before taking the quote at face value. Strong rhetoric from either side ahead of a vote is normal negotiating posture, not necessarily a preview of the final text. The core tension in most of these bills is between consumer protection reporting requirements and privacy. That tradeoff will not disappear even if this specific bill fails. Worth watching whether this becomes a bipartisan sticking point or stays a single senator's position.

@SenLummis We must try another shot so that Rapture will happen. Not this time but soon.
