Democratic Sens. COAL BARRON #JoeManchinSenatorForSale of West Virginia & big agri supporter #JonTester of Montana voting with #GOP using #CongressionalReviewAct, which allows Congress to roll back regulations from the executive branch without needing to clear the 60-vote threshold in the Senate that is necessary for most legislation by 51 votes

It's also an example of the lack of #oversight #Congress provides to agencies; Congress basically writes a law and goes on its merry way while agencies violate the law like Education did, and HUD does (targeting trans/non-binary ppl and mixed-immigration status families.
The #CongressionalReviewAct was a nice idea, but it's not enough. Agencies regularly play fast and loose with regulation, violating people's rights in the process.
