Democrats in Congress are encouraging the Biden administration to quickly enact a slew of far-reaching regulations ahead of the 2024 presidential election, according to Punchbowl News.
The Biden administration has pursued an aggressive regulatory agenda to implement President Joe Biden’s political priorities, including measures to encourage the production of more electric vehicles, forgive student loans, restrict “junk fees” by service providers and ban non-competition clauses in contracts, among many others. Amid concerns that Biden may not win the election against former President Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee, Democrats have been encouraging the administration to finalize rules as soon as possible to preclude their expeditious reversal if Biden loses office, Punchbowl News reported.
“Time, time, time is how I describe this to every head of every agency I speak with,” said Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts to Punchbowl News. “We need to have this done and done quickly. If we didn’t learn that lesson back in 2016, then shame on us.”
I’m excited to announce @EPA has finalized technology standards for passenger cars and trucks avoiding more than 7 billion TONS of carbon pollution AND saving drivers money. https://t.co/tUQ89vR7QB

Regulations enacted by an administration may be rescinded by its successor subject to the Administrative Procedures Act or repealed by Congress using the Congressional Review Act (CRA), which allows the body to repeal regulations finalized by executive branch agencies within 60 legislative days of their publication in the Federal Register. CRA votes are expedited and do not require cloture in the Senate, precluding them from being filibustered.
Joint resolutions passed under CRA provisions must still be presented to the President and may be vetoed by him, with such resolutions representing all of Biden’s veto actions during his term. However, in 2017, the Republican-led 115th Congress passed several CRA resolutions to repeal several regulations finalized by the Obama administration that Trump signed into law.
The administration is currently in the process of finalizing several high-profile regulatory actions that affect multiple aspects of American life. These include a planned rule by the Federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) to impose background checks on firearms purchased at gun shows and online, a rule to expand mental healthcare access in coverage plans offered by health insurance providers, a rule to impose stricter pollutant emissions standards for heavy-duty commercial vehicles and a rule to increase the cost of leases for oil and gas exploration on public lands.
The Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA), which reviews all regulations by non-independent executive branch agencies before they are finalized, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Breakneck speed for this clown is 1 a week. Trump will undue every single one of these attacks on day 1.
I hate to say it but the minions that are really in charge oft his country will NOT let Trump into office. They’ve waited over 100 years and will NOT let this go now.
STFU. Don’t talk to me.
That’ll get democrats elected ,NOT
I hope Trump reverses everything President Retard did if possible
Here’s hoping.
So do I.
The more of this kind of talk I hear, the more optimistic I get. Democrats have their Demoralization Team working overtime, but it seems like the Deep State is giving up on them and will try to use compliant RINOs to manipulate Trump, instead.
Last chance they’ll have until January 2029
He’s gonna try to give amnesty to all the illegals just in time for the election!
President Trump’s first executive order right after he is inaugurated should be a blanket revocation of every single one of Biden’s executive orders. He should also fire every single one of Biden’s U.S. attorneys just like Clinton did when he took office.
Undoing all of Biden’s regulations will take more time to comply with the administrative procedures laws. In some cases the fastest way may be to copy the democrats’ playbook with friendly lawsuits filed by affected industries that the Trump DOJ can settle with agreed judgments forever enjoining the federal government from enforcing the regulations.
If Republicans retake the Senate and hold onto the house then Congress can revoke most of Biden’s regulations. Whether the RINOs will go for it is the big question.
The filthy traitors known as “democrats” will do anything to remain in power. They’ll even go against their principles for a while in order to consolidate their power, even if they know they will reverse their actions as soon as they can.
Communists used to say “one step backwards, then two steps forward.” They know what that means and still do it.
SCOTUS needs to p*ss or get off the pot on the Chevron re-visit... Was supposed to be published back in October 2023.
Power and control followed by more power and more control. It is all that matters to these bastards.
You know what works great on minions bent on subverting the Republic?
Shoot them. In the face. A lot.
It’s worked on tyrants big and small throughout history and is much more effective than and editorial, court case, or purposed legislation.
The communists hear the liberty train arriving Trump has it a full power.
Regulations. No Congress needed.
SCOTUS needs to overturn Chevron asap. If not, governmental bureaucracies are going to destroy our nation.
So what has been done about cheat-by-mail-in ballots with no signature verification? That's all you need to know.
