Shortly after Shontel Brown won, President Joe Biden called her and said that he would be thrilled to work with her once she is elected to Congress.
Republicans don't seem to care about people losing their homes. They don't seem to care about unemployment
Now it appears that Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), Rep. Jim Clyburn (D-SC) and Rep. Abigail Spanberger (D-VA) are going to squash The Squad. They are going to ensure the Democrats will not elect chaos agents like Nina Turner. They will back candidates who will challenge members who side with the extreme left.
Biden's job approval has dropped to 48%. Thanks to the failures of not passing, a minimum wage increase, the voting rights laws, the infrastructure package and police reform, his job approval drops. He also is taking heat for the rising gas prices. Inflation is on the rise because of supply and demand. We have a hiring crunch where companies are begging for American workers. Immigration also is on the table because of Cuba, Mexico, Haiti, Afghanistan, Honduras, Guatemala, El Salvador and Yemen. These countries are scapegoats for Republican culture war talking points about the U.S.-Mexican border and Washed Up 45's failed promise to build a border wall. Crime is rising and many of the very same Republican lawmakers who refuse to investigate the 1/6 insurrection are using the extreme left's "defund the police" as a slogan to win back Congress.
The president's handling of the pandemic is getting high marks.
President Joe Biden's headaches include:
1. Republicans in the House and Senate.
2. The Squad.
3. The two Democrats in the Senate and the Democratic Socialist.
Missouri Democrat invites a primary challenger after stunting. The freshman lawmaker is now considered a top priority for Democrats to challenge in the 2022 primary.
Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO) gave Republicans a culture war talking point and basically threw her privilege in less than 30 seconds. She was on CBSN discussing her performance.
She and two other lawmakers slept outside the steps of the U.S. Capitol for four days after the House of Representatives failed to extend the eviction moratorium.

| Cori Bush now speaks to white leftists. |
The lawmakers blamed President Joe Biden for not doing enough. The Supreme Court rejected the notion that a government organization had the right to extend a federal mandate. They punted the policies and said Congress must pass legislation.
So Congress as usual will not be able to pass an extension due to Republicans in the Senate.
Biden took the legally questionable step Tuesday of partially reinstating a federal moratorium on evictions that had expired last weekend, the money for months has been there to pay the rent.
Congress allocated $25 billion in rental assistance in December and an additional $21.55 billion in March.
The problem – quite simply – has been getting the cash from A to B. Only $3 billion has gone out to renters since states received the first tranche of funds Feb. 10, and there's more than enough blame to go around. That leaves $43.55 billion unspent.
In recent weeks, as a new variant of the coronavirus has caused the pandemic to come roaring back, liberal Democrats have angrily demanded that Biden issue an executive order extending the moratorium on evictions. It was originally issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention last year, at a time when the viral outbreak was decimating the economy and nearly 30 million risked losing their homes for lack of rent money. The moratorium was extended several times since.
Biden initially complained that his hands were tied after a majority of the Supreme Court, in responding to a lawsuit by landlords in June, indicated the CDC exceeded its authority and the moratorium must end July 31.
But under intense pressure from his party's liberal wing and a plea from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), Biden acquiesced Tuesday and the CDC issued a new moratorium through Oct. 3 targeting "counties experiencing substantial or high rates of transmission" of COVID-19.
If that holds up in court, which is open to question, the new eviction ban will allow additional time for rental relief payment to reach tenants. But through all this, the rights of landlords should not be dismissed. They have lost money for nearly a year under the previous moratorium. Forty-one percent of individual rental units are mom-and-pop operations, and many rely on that income to pay their own bills. In Arizona, 11% of landlords have been forced to sell property and 12% have gone out of business, according to an advocacy group.
Bush claims victory and leaves the stairs of the U.S. Capitol. She would end up talking to CBSN and responded to the critics saying she paid for private security and is calling for Congress to "defund the police."
Many ppl misusing my interview as evidence Rep. Cori Bush’s protest was insincere. What they’re missing is the separate rules of Capitol steps existed BEFORE her protest which extended Congressional privilege on steps to protesters. She didn’t create the rules. She defied them. https://t.co/fDQ54OttDz

Cori Bush: I’m going to make sure I have private security but defunding the police needs to happen. pic.twitter.com/6jbv4HLlGs

Bush has been called hypocritical for spending $70,000 on private security while pushing to defund the police. CBS anchor Vladimir Duthiers asked Bush to respond to the criticism.
"They would rather I die?" Bush asked. "You would rather me die? Is that what you want to see? You want to see me die? You know because that could be the alternative."
Bush said she would ensure she has security because she has had attempts on her life and has "too much work to do."
"So suck it up, and defunding the police has to happen," she added.
She suggested she had two options: Stay on the Capitol steps and stop evictions, or have a possible attempt on her life.
"I have private security because my body is worth being on this planet right now," she added, claiming "a white supremacist, racist narrative" is trying to stifle her.
Critics condemned Bush for her seemingly contradictory remarks.
And it's remarks like this that keep the Democratic Party from winning in swing districts. The party allowed political extremists into the wing. If Bush wants to return back to activism, resign and go back to doing Black Lives Matter rallies and stand ins.
She along with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY), Rep. Marjorie Karen Greene (R-GA), Rep. Karen Gaetz (R-FL), Rep. Karen Gohmert (R-TX), Rep. Karen Boebert (R-CO), Rep. Karen Cawthorn (R-NC), Rep. Karen Roy (R-TX), Rep. Karen Jordan (R-OH), Rep. Karen Nunes (R-CA), Rep. Karen Biggs (R-AZ), Rep. Karen Brooks (R-AL), Sen. Karen McConnell (R-KY), Sen. Karen Scott (R-FL), Sen. Karen Johnson (R-WI), Sen. Karen Cruz (R-TX), Sen. Karen Paul (R-KY), Sen. Karen Blackburn (R-TN), Sen. Karen Lee (R-UT), Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Sen. Ed Markey (D-MA) want to be activists and protesters. They claim credit for work that other people done.
It's pathetic that we have lawmakers like that.
They want to grandstand and win social media clicks. They get paid to write laws and vote on the future of the United States. They are the reasons to why Congress sucks. They were a headache to Barack Obama, Washed Up 45 and now Biden.
I would not be surprised if Bush has a challenger who is fed up with crime in St. Louis. A person who is tired of the potholes on the roads. The crumbling bridge over the Mississippi River. The abandoned buildings in the city and parts of St. Louis County.
Bush speaks to white leftists with this nonsense. She is likely living in the suburbs now that she's a lawmaker making over $174,000 a year.
Brown said it best about the difference between a lawmaker and an activist.
"It's easy to say what you would do, hypothetically. But I am grateful for the work that [Bush] did to be able to get the moratorium extended. I've not been much, candidly of an activist. ... I know that is something she has been very proud to be and I respect that wholeheartedly. But I really pride myself on being a legislator -- one who sits at the table to negotiate on behalf of the people who are trusting me to make decisions."
