This is performative and will go to the Senate and die or be torn to pieces and made useless.
Yeah, tbh this is for sure getting filibustered.
Imagine tho if it got shoved into budget reconciliation lol, that would be magical.
This is great, and hopefully it moves forward, but also whatever loophole they left should be closed up as well in a follow-up bill.
