The article says that the legislation was introduced today. It has a link to the text, which says 118th Congress on it. But the 118th Congress has less than a month to go, and the 119th is sworn in on Jan 3. So this bill will go nowhere, right? There is no way to get through committees, readings, debate, etc etc. They have to reintroduce it in January, correct? Anything accomplished this month is thrown away and they start from scratch, right? So why do this thing now? Why not wait another month?
