How out of date is Congress.gov, which still shows this bill as having last action in March of 2021 and the status is "referred to committee" which is where all the legislation I care about seems to go to die.

Why is Twitter a better place to get this news than a .gov website that seems like it was built for it?

The world moves at the speed of Twitter - this is confirmation with video from the senator who originated the bill: https://twitter.com/PattyMurray/status/1503804622087020545

Wow, good observation. This is supremely messed up.

Twitter is not a government affiliated entity, it seems inappropriate for public officials to endorse (bless?) a singular non-state-owner platform this way.

How can we trust Twitter not to manipulate information for their own gain and agenda? Oh, wait..
