ICYMI This Week: Rep. Meeks Advocates for Stablecoin Regulations and Calls out Trump Administration for Cuts to HHS

My constituents want to use payment stablecoins, as do our allies in developing nations on the continent of Africa and around the world. We must establish clear, high regulatory standards for stablecoin issuers. Certainty is key for companies, which is why I supported the STABLE Act during a recent Financial Services Committee Markup Hearing.  

I joined a letter led by Rep. Nikema Williams (GA-05) to Secretary Robert F. Kennedy condemning the cuts to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services that include terminating 10,000 employees and dismantling health agencies such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). This is unacceptable. My democratic colleagues and I explained our disapproval of this recent action in the letter. You can read more, here.    

I’d like to hear from my constituents about how the Trump administration’s actions have affected you and your loved ones. Over the past few months, we’ve witnessed mass layoffs across government agencies, executive orders impacting various issues, threats against immigrants, potential tariffs on neighboring countries, and much more. My office is working with state and local officials to learn more about how these actions could affect our district and provide resources for people who have been affected. Please complete the form here to explain how these actions are affecting you and the organizations, nonprofits and businesses you support.
