The government obviously can and should walk and chew gum, but yeah, it's just too much to see reproductive rights go down in flames, climate change wreak havoc globally, COVID run unchecked, and then have congresspeople come out with something like this. It would be fine if there were a proportionate response to the rest of it from other parts of government. Better, even, because that means there's enough capacity to both put out fires and make minor improvements. At this point, though, they really do need to set this nonsense aside and focus on at least one of the many, many things that are going to literally kill people if not properly addressed. Anything else will read as parody.
This. Like, if the important shit was being dealt with I’d be all for this. I’ve literally said this should happen before. But I don’t want to hear about them doing pointless shit while refusing to do the important shit.
