This is a highlight that I can finally tell my grandchildren about someday far into the future and they'll be like "Wow grandpa, your generation was amazing" and the smile will fade from my face slowly as I take a deep breath "No. No, we were human. To err is our nature" and then it will roll to the credits with Danny Elfman music playing. Then I wake up from my coma to fight off the apocalypse mutants.

Jokes aside, Congress didn't pass this. The house of representatives did. It has to be voted on in the Senate, and as a package deal with Ukraine and Israel Funding it might have a little opposition from both sides.
