Ted Cruz accused JD Vance of empowering 'the radical Green Movement' by aligning with Democrats on a bill to prevent rail disasters like the East Palestine crash

• JD Vance, a Republican senator from Ohio, proposed the Rail Safety Act in March.
• On Wednesday, the bill passed the Senate Commerce Committee with unanimous Democratic support.
• The committee's Republicans largely opposed the bill on grounds it would drive up energy costs.

The two parties in Congress are often at each other's throats, but one Republican senator is sounding like a Democrat when it comes to rail safety.
