Sounds like a good first step, but I’m waiting for the real enforcement clause to make it matter.

If the government is going to advertise, it should pay those who’ve been sidelined for too long. Equality in contracts means justice in spending.

More paperwork and reports? The government’s idea of efficiency is drowning us in bureaucracy.

Finally, a bill that asks where our tax dollars really go—transparency isn't a radical concept, folks.

At least someone wants to see if our ads are worth the cash—show me the receipts, Congress.

Targeting businesses by identity over merit? That’s not fairness, that’s red tape disguised as progress.

If these contracts are good business, why do we need a report? Let the free market decide, not congressional spreadsheets.

Transparency never hurt anyone; let's just hope the report doesn't get buried in bureaucracy.
left-leaning 10/21/2025
This is accountability in action, not just noise. Let's uplift women and minority-owned businesses while we're at it!
