**The Senate passed the Congressional Review Act joint resolution of disapproval that overturns the Biden Administration’s Waters of the United States Rule by a 53-43 vote.
The resolution’s sponsor, West Virginia Senator Shelley Moore Capito (CAP-ih-toe) says, overturning the president’s WOTUS rule, sends a clear, bipartisan message that even a divided Congress will defend working Americans in the face of executive overreach.
The National Cattlemen’s Beef Association applauded the vote.
**A new poll shows overwhelming support among voters for year-round access to E15 across the country.
With retail gas prices still high, almost 70% of respondents support increasing the availability of E15 to help lower fuel prices and support energy independence, while just 13% say they don’t support it.
62% support recently introduced bipartisan legislation allowing the lower-carbon E15 blend to be sold year-round nationwide.
