Senate Braces for GENIUS Act Showdown—GOP Charges Ahead as Critics Sound Alarm
Washington’s latest tech policy battle hits the floor today as Republicans force a vote on the controversial GENIUS Act. Opponents call it a handout to Big Tech—supporters insist it’ll ’unleash innovation’ (and probably a few lobbyist bonus checks).
Behind the scenes: The bill’s $42B tax incentive package has Silicon Valley’s balance sheets tingling. Because nothing sparks bipartisan cooperation like watching VCs prep their yacht upgrades.
Final twist: Three senators reportedly tried to read the 1,200-page bill. Two required smelling salts.
