On Wednesday, President Biden invoked the Defense Production Act to amp up supply of baby formula. The 1950 law, which allows the government to direct manufacturing production for national defense, will prioritize key ingredients for formula production and compel suppliers to provide the needed resources to formula manufacturers ahead of other customers ordering those goods. President Biden also launched a program that will use U.S. military aircraft to import formula from abroad.
Also on Wednesday, the House passed a $28 million emergency spending bill to address the nationwide shortage of baby formula; 192 GQPers voted against it.
