In short, having huge numbers of Americans complain to Congress, as with this piece of legislation, can influence laws at the margin.
The rest of the bill is still awful; it imposes new and large taxes on wind and solar while eliminating subsidies for them, funds a the deportation of millions, cuts medicaid sharply (in large part through imposing onerous paperwork on people) and cuts taxes for billionaires while raising them on the poor.
I’m grateful it’s off the table for now. We best keep an eye on this guy though, I’m sure he’s not going to quit trying.
