just joined us and announced his full support and that THE RULES COMMITTEE IS WILLING TO RECONVENE immediately to get this done.

We need to keep pushing.

2. Nice work, Rep. Bush.

I guess this Justice Democrat is more nuanced than the haters would like.

3. Hey Cori Bush, it was the RW Supreme Court that refused to extend the July eviction moratorium

President Joe Biden made an urgent plea Thursday for Congress to extend a nationwide moratorium on evictions, arguing a Supreme Court ruling had left him unable to act on his own.

The eviction freeze, which is set to expire on Saturday, was put in place last September by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to protect Americans who have fallen behind on their rent during the coronavirus pandemic.

Biden extended the moratorium through the end of July; he would have “strongly supported” another extension, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said in a statement Thursday, particularly as the delta variant drives a spike in new COVID-19 infections. She said the president is concerned the uptick in cases is hitting Americans who are most likely to face evictions and lack vaccinations the hardest.

“Unfortunately, the Supreme Court has made clear that this option is no longer available,” Psaki said.
