John Deaton.
Remember the name because you’re going to be hearing it a LOT more going forward!
In fact, we first told you about John several months ago:
Now he's one step closer to sending Elizabeth Warren into retirement because he just won his primary in Massachusetts and now he faces off against Elizabeth Warren in the general election.
Yes folks, the national nightmare of "Senator" Elizabeth Warren (especially for the crypto industry) could soon be coming to an end.

Warren is believed by many to be the main person leading the anti-crypto charge in the United States.
Get rid of her and watch crypto soar, is the common belief.
Why do Democrats always take America-Last positions? It's so strange.
Deaton, on the other hand, is a lawyer who famously represented XRP holders as he sued the government -- and won!
Which fighter do you want on your side?
"Asked and answered" as the attorneys say.
Here was the awesome moment where he claimed victory last night in the Primary:
I am truly humbled by the tremendous outpouring of support and grateful for the faith the voters have placed in me.

He then challenged Warren to FIVE single-issue debates, a brilliant idea.
As of press time for this article, Warren has not responded.
Here is more, from CBS News:
John Deaton will take on Elizabeth Warren for a seat in the U.S. Senate after winning the Massachusetts Republican primary on Tuesday, the Associated Press projects.
"I am truly humbled by the tremendous outpouring of support and grateful for the faith the voters have placed in me," Deaton said in a statement. "Tomorrow, we begin the next phase of the campaign – an effort that will hold Elizabeth Warren accountable for her failures on the border, the unaffordable cost of supporting a family, a broken healthcare system, abandoning our ally Israel, and restoring faith in our politics. Voters are turning their back on divisive partisan politics and are ready to support a message of optimism, unity, and solving problems."
John Deaton wins Massachusetts primary
Deaton was by far the best-funded candidate in the GOP field, thanks mostly to the $1 million he loaned to his campaign. He more than doubled Quincy City Council President Ian Cain's spending and had about $975,000 in the bank as of the end of June. In comparison, Cain had about $22,000 left in his war chest.
Deaton also defeated engineer Robert Antonellis, who described himself as a staunch supporter of Republican nominee for president Donald Trump.
Cain released a statement after the AP projected Deaton won the primary.
"While tonight's results are disappointing, I hold my head high for the movement and progress we have made over the course of this campaign. This was never about a singular person, but about highlighting the failures of our current representation and pushing for a brighter future for Massachusetts. I still have hope that we can finish that job," he said. "I will continue to fight for the Commonwealth each and every day. Thank you to my family, friends, and volunteers who stood with me in this fight."
Democrats have a lock on the Bay State's congressional delegation, with both U.S. Senate seats and all nine U.S. House seats firmly in their column. They also hold lopsided supermajorities in both chambers of the state legislature, where all seats are up for election in November. Nonetheless, Republicans hope they can build on their toehold in the state Senate, where they flipped a vacant Democratic seat in 2023.
"I'm going to get out to the voters, they're going to see who I am," Deaton told reporters following his victory. "And when they see who I am, and how genuine I love this country, and I want to move this country forward, and I want to unite people. When they see that, I think they're going to be open to me as a candidate."
Even if you don't live in Massachusetts, John needs our support.

Let's send Elizabeth Warren packing...I will be very happy if I never have to write an article about her ever again!
Meet The Man Who Is Going To Unseat Elizabeth Warren
Elizabeth Warren has a Republican challenger to her Senate seat....and she's noticeably shaken up.
Meet my friend, attorney John Deaton.
Deaton made a name for himself in the crypto community, representing SEC holders against a crooked and corrupt SEC, headed by Gary Gensler.
Now he's set his sights on bigger targets, Elizabeth Warren herself.
Warren has been in the Senate since 2013 and Deaton believes it's time to send her packing.
I agree, and I am putting my full support and endorsement behind Deaton.
Here was his announcement on X:
I’m excited for the opportunity to fight for change, and for the people of Massachusetts in the United States Senate.
Join my campaign today: https://t.co/TGYV8NmWD0

John Deaton is a U.S. Marine veteran, cancer survivor, father to three daughters, trial attorney, author and someone who overcame impossible odds to build a life for his family and become a champion for other underdogs.
Having overcome so much, John believes it is time we elect someone to the U.S. Senate who understands the struggles of everyday Americans.
Watch this:
Fox News has the following details:
Massachusetts' famously anti-crypto senator, Elizabeth Warren, is frantically rallying her donor base to help her fight off a GOP challenge to her Senate seat from a pro-crypto attorney seeking to unseat her in November, FOX Business has learned.
According to an email to donors viewed by FOX Business, Warren, a Democrat who has held her seat for more than 10 years and is considered among the most powerful and progressive voices in the upper chamber, is asking supporters to "rush" donations in order "to prepare to compete against funding from powerful special interests, Wall Street, and the GOP."
The email was sent following reports, including social media posts from FOX Business, that crypto attorney John Deaton had moved to Massachusetts from Rhode Island to take on Warren as a Republican.
Deaton officially announced his Senate campaign on Tuesday morning.

In response, Warren sent a follow-up email to donors referring to Deaton as a "well-funded Republican," who she says is "trying to stop us from taxing the wealthy, regulating big banks, and making our government work for working people."She closes by asking for donors to "pitch in $28 or anything you can" to her re-election campaign.
Warren's prior email, sent out last week, notes Deaton as a "big cheerleader for crypto interests."
"Ever since I began speaking out about protecting consumers from crypto scams and making that industry follow the same basic regulations as banks and all other financial institutions, the crypto lobby has put a target on my back," the email read.
A former U.S. Marine judge advocate and an asbestos lawyer by trade, Deaton has achieved folk-hero status in a corner of the crypto business for his criticism of the Securities and Exchange Commission in its lawsuit against cross-border payments company Ripple Labs for engaging in what it alleged to be illegal sales of the cryptocurrency XRP to fund the development of its business.
Deaton, himself an investor in digital assets, has developed a strong following on X for his opinions on crypto and what he sees as the federal government’s unfair approach to regulating it. Deaton believes the SEC was overstepping its legal authority when it declared all sales of XRP, including those made by retail investors on crypto exchanges like Coinbase, illegal unregistered securities when it sued Ripple in 2020.
In 2022, he was granted by the presiding judge in the case the position of "amicus curiae," or friend of the court, where he represented 75,000 global owners of the XRP token. Deaton owns XRP as well as a handful of other crypto tokens.
Deaton’s involvement helped make the Ripple case one of the most talked about in the worlds of crypto and securities law. When a judge ruled in July that sales of the XRP token in the secondary markets did not constitute securities, Deaton was hailed for his work on the case, fighting for the interests of retail investors whose holdings in XRP, some significant amounts, were frozen for the duration of the three-year lawsuit.
"I’m excited for the opportunity to fight for change, and for the people of Massachusetts in the United States Senate," said Deaton. "Washington, D.C., is broken, and in more than a decade in office, Elizabeth Warren has done nothing to fix it — in fact, she’s become a big part of the problem."
Warren, for her part, is widely considered unbeatable by many in the world of politics. A law professor who was elected to the Senate in 2012, Warren is known for her progressive policies, favorable among the Democratic Party, including creating a wealth tax, rallying against the political and economic influences of Wall Street and corporate America as well as big tech.
I am not part of John's campaign or any PAC or SuperPAC, I simply want to see Warren OUT of Congress.
To that end, I'd love to get your support for Deaton.
