Progressive Policy Rebuttal argues the New York Times' push for Democrats to pass the Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act of 2026 gets policy and politics backward: Section 1401 would let President Trump lock in LNG, pipeline, coal, and detention permits until 2029, and he was recorded saying he would not honor his wind-project promise as Senate voting began. The outlet urges House Democrats to strip the environmental, judicial, Tribal, and detention riders—or reject the bill and legislate from strength when the 120th Congress convenes.
