AOC, far-left pols urge Biden to bypass Congress on energy, immigration and more
Progressive House Democrats like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and other members of the “Squad” are urging President Biden to sidestep Congress and use the power of his pen to authorize dozens of radical policies on issues like immigration, criminal justice, climate change and student loan debt.
The 98-member Congressional Progressive Caucus released a list of 55 recommendations for executive action on Thursday, months before the midterm elections in which Republicans are expected to regain control of both chambers of Congress.
Some of the eye-popping suggestions include:
Banning new fossil fuel leases on federal territory as well as “environmental justice communities” Ending the Trump-era “Remain in Mexico” policy and the Title 42 coronavirus exclusions for illegal immigrants Declaring a national climate emergency and invoking the Defense Production Act to increase production of renewable energy Ending domestic and international fossil fuel subsidies and reinstating a ban on crude oil exports Canceling student loan debt Establishing national standards governing the use of deadly force by police officers, as well as removing military-grade weaponry from police departments

I hate them but they sure get their agenda done. It helps to have a useless Republican party as opponents.
Constitutional process? We don’t need no steenkin’ constitutional process!
Most of the Republicans we have elected are Assistant Democrats in R jersey camouflage.
They want the same things, they are just stealthier about it.
Yep, 55 executive actions just like a dictator, to hell with debate or discussion or the law for that matter. I bet this moron does what they say, “Hey gas is now at $20 a gallon! It’s all Putins fault!”
Almost one-quarter of the Congress telling the chief executive to go around Congress, become an autocrat. I wonder if the Founding Fathers ever contemplated one of the branches of government they devised getting rid of itself. I think they envisioned each of the various branches of government jealously protecting its own powers, not throwing them away.
Are leftist and democrat and dingbat simultaneous?
SPJNK.
The don’t call it CONgress for nothin’.
Which brings to mind, does that make tulsi gabbard an “EX-CON”?
“Squad” members are commie extremists...
The corrupt Washington Post and corrupt New York Times kiss commie butt - the rest of us don’t give a damn what they say, think, feel or do...
This should make it easier to UNDO once GOP gains the majority.
“far-left pols urge Biden to bypass Congress”
The inner Tyrant and Diktator always comes out from The Left.
It’s why we can’t live peacfully with them.
National Divorce is the answer.
No Civil War - just Civil Separation.
Choose Freedom - Choose Peace
Why is the squad urging Biden to do anything? He doesn’t make any decisions. I’m sick of this charade. Biden is a pod person.
Its sure not hard to see who is really driving the Biden Broken Down Bus.
Why not cancel congress? Shut it down, declare the constitution null and void and have them all arrested.
Of course.
The rule of law and the balance of power and representative government mean nothing to them.
They are just impediments to their power bloodlust.
She doesn’t seem to realize that by making that demand, she is making herself and her compatriots irrelevant.
AOC should take up pole dancing. The kid’s got the rack for it.
But her reaction would be, ‘’Pole Dancing’’ ? “But I don’t know any Polish people!’’.
It also helps to have a demented meat puppet in the Oval Office.
