The legislation aims to address safety concerns and hold protesters accountable for endangering public safety.
Senators Thom Tillis and Ted Budd emphasize that while peaceful assembly is protected, blocking streets is lawlessness that could jeopardize emergency services and public safety. They argue that such actions should face significant legal consequences.

GB News: Energy price cap could more than double to £4.5k a year as US-Iran conflict could hike UK bills: 'Disaster!'
Analysts warn that ongoing US-Iran tensions could lead to a significant increase in the UK energy price cap, potentially doubling it. The threat of Iran closing the Strait of Hormuz may disrupt vital oil and gas supplies, reversing recent price reductions.
Currently, the energy price cap stands at £1,720, but experts predict it could rise to between £3,000 and £4,500 if gas prices soar due to supply disruptions. This would have severe economic implications for households, especially as bills remain elevated compared to pre-crisis levels.
