Now, they've really put their collective foot in it -- the House has adjourned for six weeks without renewing the federal moratorium on evictions. It had previously been extended by administrative action until the Supreme Court said that was a no-no constitutionally.
So, now the blame game is on fast and furious with the Democratic leadership blaming the Biden Administration who provided only one day's notice before the House was scheduled to adjourn for the summer recess. Meanwhile, Democratic members were all over the place and unable to unite to pass an extension into October that Pelosi used as a fall back position. For their part, Republicans in the House would have nothing to do with the possible extension.
Of course, the obvious question is how many people will lose their homes -- estimates range from 4 to 17 million people and how will they vote in 2022?
In short, it's a big loss for The White House, the House Democratic leadership and party members. Also a negative for Republican leaders and members.
God knows how it'll break politically but no matter how it does, people will still suffer and suffer horribly. Personally, I'd vote every House member out of office but that's just me.
