Comment on House Moves Toward Bundling TikTok Bill With Aid to Ukraine and Israel

I’d be okay with a Congressional rule that makes passage of one bill contingent on another bill to allow for compromise, but each bill should be tracked separately so it’s transparent to voters what’s being passed. There should also be a requirement that the title of the bill sufficiently describes the purchase of the bill.

That way we could still have bundles of bills, but the content of that bundle would be a lot more transparent. Seeing something like “Aid to Ukraine and Israel” also allowing the government to ban adversarial apps does not give constituents the appropriate information to contact their representative, and it’s quite possible the representatives themselves haven’t actually read the full bill if it’s large (but might if they were broken up into reasonably-titled bills).
