This report is confusing, largely because the history cannot be shoehorned into complex clauses that require prior knowledge of the history in order to unpack. In other words -- you have to tell the story in simple sentences, in chronological order, and then tell the story of what happened yesterday. Nothing else will do. First, the story about how Republicans whined that they were being "debanked" for their conservative politics, then how that was a lie. Then how they suddenly dropped all those lies and began campaigning to legalize debanking once Trump got into office. And it would also help to explain why this matters and how it will affect all of us. I really think a revised report is in order. This is important and this write up is comprehensible only if you already know much more about the history and the issue than is covered in the report. The average reader has no way of knowing much of anything about it and deserves a more fulsome, more carefully and cleanly written account. Please.
