Oh cool. When is that passing the Senate?
Sen. Ed Markey (D-Mass.) is cosponsoring the legislation in the Senate, and Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-N.Y.) will introduce companion legislation in the House of Representatives.
It won't pass, but if Biden can put the blame of it failing on Republicans it could help win elections.
That's something realistic he could do. For an unrealistic but satisfying option, he could pick the worst offender and make that company an example. Send every OSHA, EPA, and IRS agent they can get to swarm the company and bury them in fines and legal actions.
Using agencies as weapons like that outside of their intended purpose is... despotic.
I don't know that it's wise to take attention away from the Republicans own clusterfuck to place it on something the Dems can't get done.
I'm with you in spirit; I just think there are more layers to this than we tend to give it credit for.
It's exactly what Republicans would do if they didn't like a company. Playing nice with these people is what got us to this point.
Exactly. With apologies to Michelle Obama, "They go low, we go high!" does not work. It was never intended to work.
Democrats have a ton of sportsmanship trophies, and what do Republicans have? Well, they've got the SCOTUS, the House, and tons of State governments.
