Ted Cruz can't because he has only culture war and lies. Ron Wyden has real experience drafting laws and policy (Section 230). Wyden needed a republican turd to join up for a bi-partisan bill. He found a sucker who put his name on it (for all the wrong reasons, but right-wing dipshits don't look into anything, so it still works). Sometimes, you take what you can get to advance your cause.

Ted Cruz Roasted for Pretending Paris Climate Accord Is Only for Parisians (Mother fucker went to Princeton. I know that doesn't mean he's intelligent, you can buy your way in, but he sure as shit understood why this was a lie. It shows his contempt for his supporters (deserved, earned, they are stupid as a rock). Which is why this happened:)

Critics may chastise me for pulling all my pro-Wyden links from a single source (TechDirt). You can find the same info on his policies pretty much anywhere. I just like TechDirt's tone in calling things what they are. Any other serious (as in, not right-wing propaganda) reporters will agree on the facts of what he's done, but they are often coy / timid about calling out those acting in bad faith.

You know what you need to get a bill through? Bi-partisanship. We had it for the Epstein Files Transparency Act. Not that it did all that much in the long run, but at least it passed. You think we're gonna pass laws to (attempt to) hold this admin accountable without a repub putting their name on it? Fat chance. Use one of the dumb idiots to launder your message for their audience. Again, they're too stupid / thoughtless / disinterested to actually look into anything. It's a win.
