“House Energy and Commerce Chair Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA) got a clear warning Tuesday from the chamber’s top two GOP leaders: If you don’t fix your data privacy bill, it’s on track to die in your committee,” Politico reports. “McMorris Rodgers followed by announcing that she would advance the bill anyway.” “The Washington State Republican’s decision to buck the advice of Speaker Mike Johnson and Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA) threatens to set up an unusual clash between party leaders and a committee chair over a bill that McMorris Rodgers has deemed a high priority before her retirement at the end of this term.”
