Assessments

partial same_term A for effort

Grassley made serious same-term legislative efforts on Big Tech competition and platform-accountability reforms, including original cosponsorship of the American Innovation and Choice Online Act and a Section 230 repeal bill, but the direct Big Tech reform bills cited did not become law. A related antitrust enforcement funding/merger-fee reform passed Congress, which supports partial fulfillment but does not fully deliver the promised Big Tech marketplace and free-exchange reforms.
