Exactly! TBH, I’m surprised. The GOP’s God King said, “make it so,” and they haven’t done his bidding. The one time their spineless adherence to anything Trump wants could’ve actually been popular, and we get nothing. An astonishing level of incompetence! For shits and giggles, a Democrat should push for the bill to be taken up, just to watch the GOP leadership shoot it down because they can’t take credit for it. An official “not like that.”
That’s an easy bipartisan win. I’m not against having a few committee’s review it and getting everything in order… But six plus months for something this simple?!
The “must pass” legislation gets slapped together over a weekend and everyone complains that they don’t get time to read it. They post all over social media a towering bill full of last minute margin changes.
But no one has taken time to move forward a two page pamphlet in six months?

That’s the crazy part, they did, back in April!

Two US House members, one Democrat and one Republican, and two US Senators, one Democrat and one Republican introduced the bill.
The bill isn’t even that long, https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/3074/text

It’s truly mind boggling.
