If this is true, it's a shameful case of Senate Dems again throwing out *REAL* leverage in exchange for fake concessions.
"Actually, genuinely oppose the bill that would enable Trump to hoover up billions of dollars in crypto cash" is the lowest bar imaginable for Dems. Why can't they clear it?

We're hearing rumors that Ds have worked out a deal to allow a cloture vote (ie, give up their leverage to stop the bill) in exchange for a vote on an amendment (which will fail).
