putting the ball back in the Biden administration’s court, after the White House on Thursday said it could not extend the eviction ban and urged Congress to do it.
The statement from House leadership marked the latest escalation of tensions between congressional Democrats and the Biden administration over the fate of the eviction moratorium, which ended Saturday after being first implemented by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in September. The White House announced Thursday that it would let the ban lapse because the Supreme Court indicated in late June that legislation would be necessary to extend it a fifth time.
Pelosi and her team said Sunday night that as the CDC doubles down on mask-wearing and vaccination efforts, "science and reason demand that they must also extend the moratorium in light of the Delta variant."
Wow, everyone seems to be passing the buck here. SCOTUS did NOT say that legislation was necessary (Kavanaugh said it in a non-binding concurring opinion, and that's it) -- but Pelosi made no effort to get a bill passed, let alone use her pull to pass it.
😒😒😒
This is great, 'Let's extended the eviction thing' nothing like waiting until the last minute to pretend that they care. They shut the country down and they had how long to figure out a solution for this mess? Nothing like failing a test because I didn't study 4 it 🤦🤣🤣🤣
GOP love to see rampant homelessness to prove Biden a failure. Time to end filibuster
How could the leaders be too heartless? Is it a political issue only and not social and economic? Let the politicians realize that the citizens belong to the nation. Do they love the nation? Protect their interests. Don't be cruel.
SHE LEGIT HAD A MONTH SINCD THE JUNE 29 SUPREME COURT RULING.
It must have just slipped the speakers mind gosh darn it! EatTheRich
Lol. Where was this energy a month ago? Or a week ago? Amazing how SpeakerPelosi always seems to start caring as soon as it’s too late.
Leadership that cannot lead so now she pleaseds
Ti jest przed śniadanie
Get a fucking job!!! Why won’t anyone understand we the tax payers have to pay for this!!!
She knows or should that SCOTUS has already ruled the entire moratorium was unconstitutional?
Not a word from Republicans. Ready to throw 5 million to the street. Never forget their motivation is all for the one percent.
Good for Pelosi, at least someone (woman) is trying to do what's right.
What happened to monthly stimulus checks like the rest of the free world.
Um how about HouseGOP left early to break quorum. Thx. Try again
They control the house and senate and didnt pass anything
She's 3rd in line for the presidency and gave no effort to stop it. She could have done much more.
steven94117 I am a big fan of Pelosi but this is ridiculous. We know the executive branch can't do this
I have no idea why she just doesn’t put it in a bill
Make Erik Prince pay for it.
Good! We could use some turned tables.
I think there should be a vote for no confidence.
