New CPR Project - CRA by the Numbers: The Congressional Review Act Assault on Our Safeguards

If Donald Trump has learned anything over the last 100 days, it's that unlike in golf, you can't call a Mulligan on the beginning of your presidency, no matter how much it might improve your score. These last few months have been long on scandals and failure (Russian probes, the spectacular implosion of Trumpcare, etc.) and short on policy accomplishments, particularly in the legislative realm. This sad state of affairs has left Trump's PR team looking to inject some positive spin into the 100-days news narrative any way it can, and the Congressional Review Act (CRA) seems to be their go-to vehicle for doing just that. CPR has launched a new project - CRA by the Numbers: The Congressional Review Act Assault on Our Safeguards - that pulls together key statistics and quantitative analysis that help to reveal what is really at stake - namely, the reckless destruction of critical protective regulations that individually and collectively would have made us healthier, safer, and more financially secure had they remained in place.
