The Biden admin. proposes a 30% tax on electricity used for cryptocurrency mining in order to reduce energy usage.
There are basically 2 ways to produce cryptocurrency. Proof of work (think Bitcoin) requires enormous amounts of energy. Proof of stake (think Etherium) doesn't.
This strikes me as a reasonable policy designed to encourage less environmentally damaging behavior by the crypto community without attempting a ban.

We're going to be seeing a lot of photos of convicted seditious conspirators with prominent Republican politicians over the next few days.
Reports are that at least one of Gov. Abbott's "illegal alien" victims was a legal permanent resident. I wouldn't be surprised if more, or all, were.
According to the Daily Beast, and other sources, Republicans want to raise the voting age to 21. There's been talk of this before, but it hasn't, and won't, go anywhere, because the right to vote at age 18 is guaranteed by the 26th Amendment.
