As Democrats panic over their diminished power and struggle to curtail President Trump, one of the party’s former senators is finding lucrative opportunities in Republican-controlled Washington.
Since leaving Congress in January, Kyrsten Sinema has launched an array of projects and new jobs focused on cryptocurrency, artificial intelligence and psychedelic research.
She leads an organization that advocates for Arizona business. She is a member of the Coinbase Global Advisory Council, works at a lobbying and law firm and remains a professor at Arizona State University. She chairs an association for companies that work in AI and says the group “played a big role” in shaping some executive orders in the space.
“I worked well with the Trump administration during Trump 1.0. I’m working well with the Trump administration in Trump 2.0,” the former Arizona senator said in an interview. “That is what I’ve always done.”
Her salaries haven’t been disclosed but people aware of her projects estimate she is set to make well over a million dollars this year. Her aide declined to comment on the figure.
It isn’t abnormal for former lawmakers to pad their pockets after leaving Congress. But Sinema’s sheer number of projects is unusual—and so are her relationships with the party she never joined.
She served a single tumultuous Senate term as a Democrat and later an independent, cutting deals on infrastructure and gun control while blocking Democrats’ efforts to raise tax rates on corporations, private-equity managers and high-income households. She cast decisive votes for Democrats’ major fiscal laws in 2021 and 2022 while the party was in the majority.
But she angered colleagues when she blocked Democrats’ push to end the 60-vote Senate filibuster threshold, limiting the party’s ability to move on immigration and election overhauls. And she did so while flouting fusty Senate conventions...

Well, know I know.
Psychedelics make people insane very often. Don’t buy the bilge that they are therapy
We should never forget Sinema and Manchin prevented the Democrats from abolishing the 60-vote filibuster. Had they done what their party leaders demanded, America would be much worse off today.
Kyrsten Sinema surprised me more than perhaps any other recent politician.
When she was elected, we all assumed she was going to be a crazy moonbat. And yet, the only people she seemed to regularly disappoint were Democrats.
Reading further down the article, it seems she is working exclusively with Republicans in DC these days.
"Since leaving office, the 49-year-old has pitched herself as a Republican whisperer, meeting with White House officials and helping clients navigate the Capitol..."
Nor do I.
Maybe when the leftwing moonbats followed Sinema into the restroom with video rolling convinced her to someday become a Republican.
She is not anything to be happy about. She had backing from cartels to be in office, to state just one wrong she used to push her agendas upon AZ and the country. I don’t care if she occasionally seems reasonable. I believe she is still her own god (idolizes herself), and that’s a major problem.

The Democrats would have packed the Supreme Court. They would have revised the national voting laws to make it impossible for Republicans to win a majority.
They might have brought in Puerto Rico and DC as states.
