Progressive Caucus Chair Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) on Monday called on President Biden to use executive action to unilaterally enact pieces of Democrats’ Build Back Better agenda, just one day after Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) derailed the party’s signature climate and social spending package.
“[N]o one should think that we are going to be satisfied with an even smaller package that leaves people behind or refuses to tackle critical issues like climate change," Jayapal said on a conference call with reporters.
"That's why it is now incumbent on President Biden to keep his promise to us and to the American people by using the ultimate tool in his toolbox of executive action in every arena immediately,” she added.
Jayapal said she would begin conversations with fellow Progressive Caucus leaders later Monday and with the White House later this week.
“At this point, we should not wait for that legislative path for the president to take action. I just think if there are too many Americans hurting, there's too much at stake ... We have trusted for too long that Sen. Manchin was engaging in good faith,” Jayapal said. “I am not willing to hang my hopes and the futures of millions of Americans across country on whether or not he will do what he said he would do yesterday, which is often different from today or tomorrow.”
It’s unclear what pieces of the roughly $2 trillion Build Back Better package could be enacted unilaterally by Biden and withstand legal challenges.

Representative government?
Are you serious?
She must think she’s in Cuba or North Korea.
This is tyranny
And to think J6ers are called insurrectionists
BRING BACK THE HUAC IN 2023!
The mask slips.
She’s Indian, like Harris and Haley.
We really should reconsider letting foreigners decide our fate.
DemonKKKrats in full meltdown tantrum. As usual when they don’t get their desired tyranny... “our democracy’s at risk!”
HURL!!!
Pramila Jayapal is another reason we should not let foreigners govern us.
Biden will.
If Democrats want more power, they should have made the decision to run more candidates that could win elections.
Now they are paying a price for backing losing candidates.
Can these people pass the citizenship test? Executive order that before they qualify for office.
Uh, that’s not the way our country works, idiot.
and so it begins

(She must think she’s in Cuba or North Korea)

They didn’t like Trump “the dictator”. But not because he was a dictator, because he wasn’t their dictator.
