Ranking Member Huffman: Republicans Waste Time & Taxpayer Money with Vanity Bill as Economy Crashes

As the stock market crumbles and Americans are struggling to make ends meet, the U.S. House Natural Resources Committee Republicans held a markup on legislation designed to distract from this administration’s chaos and stroke the President’s ego. The markup featured pushing a Gulf of Mexico renaming stunt – all while families across America face rising costs, real crises, and shrinking retirement accounts thanks to the economy Republicans wrecked.
