While we are all going about re-electing Senator Warnok to the Senate - even just phone banking or posting on social media or calling a friend in Georgia will help - we should be doing exactly what Sen. Warren, and somewhat strangely former Florida Rep. David Jolly, says: No more Lame Duck anything. They both think Biden should start dictating terms. From Warren's piece in the New York Times:
Democrats should fight back by making this lame-duck session of Congress the most productive in decades. We can start by lifting the debt ceiling now to block Republicans from taking our economy hostage next year. Democrats must then continue delivering for families. Where we can pursue legislative action, we should fight aggressively.
When Republicans try to obstruct such action and the president can act by executive authority, he must. Most of all, the Democrats should be aggressive in putting Republicans on the defensive, pressing hard on why they are blocking much-needed initiatives to help Americans.
Continuing to reduce inflation and putting money in people’s pockets, expanding the work force through affordable child care, lowering housing costs by increasing supply, raising taxes on the superwealthy, tackling corporate price gouging — this is not a progressive wish list.
