“Joe Biden was often criticized, and usually rightfully so, for his indecision in setting legislative priorities. Yet by the third week of his administration, on February 1, 2021, Congress had introduced the budget resolution that would result in his first major bill, the American Rescue Plan. By the end of that third week, House committees had released a draft of that legislation. And by March 11, that bill was signed into law. That level of efficiency is not reflected in how the Republican Congress is dealing with their initial steps. While one piece of legislation, the anti-immigration Laken Riley Act, has been signed into law, a strategy to approve the major components of the GOP agenda (renewing the Trump tax cuts, financing them through cuts to social spending and fossil fuel leasing on public lands, and adding resources to border security and (perhaps) a military buildup) remains totally uncertain.” (02/03/25)
