His administration has a lot on its plate, but promises are promises. And so far, he isn’t keeping them.

Indeed, it was not lost on some of us that Biden pleaded with more Americans to be vaccinated on what should have been George Floyd’s 48th birthday. But the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act — which would have ushered in police reform — died after a bipartisan group was unable to find a compromise…

Congress has failed to pass a voting rights law despite the ongoing, state-by-state assault on our electoral process. Outside of a July speech on voting, Biden hasn’t used his platform to drill into the American conscience that voting rights are under attack. And Biden refuses to push the Democratic-controlled Senate to amend if not flat out kill the filibuster over voting rights. When pressed on this, Pskai’s response was essentially to shift blame from Biden to Congress. “You need 50 votes to change the filibuster,” she reminded reporters. “You also need the majority of votes to pass legislation into law.” True, but Biden has demonstrated with his push for vaccines that he has no issue using his power as president to influence the public. Why not use it to pressure Congress to kill the filibuster and get something meaningful done?
