Republicans passed a bill that will be vetoed by Biden. Manchin voted for it, but his vote was meaningless since it's dead in the water.
Didn't stop Ro Khanna from blaming Feinstein though.
EDIT: Had to do with rolling back emissions regulations for semis, I believe.

But it sounds like you just heard last week's partially-true news:

Spoiler alert: Biden already said he veto it.

It also rained a lot last week, in case you missed that too.

My favorite movie throwaway line has been from The Front Page where someone suggests the newspaper run "...yesterday's weather report for people who were drunk and slept all day."
