Now would be a good time to propose legislation formalizing the prevention into a law

There’s a rally going on. A few federal workers have spoken, but the sound system isn’t projecting far and it’s pretty tough to hear —
“We’re tired of the executive branch putting us at risk. We need our fellow Americans to stand up with us … we need Congress to take action.”
