The point of Congress is to be able to challenge the singular power of the head of state if they get too power-hungry… it doesn’t work if you can just disregard it whenever you feel it’s inconvinient. Do you want a (for now) democratically elected dictatorship where there is no challenge to the power of the president?
The House just removed a speaker with seniority and elected a two term religious zealot in his place. One who refuses to support the main foreign policy of leaders in both parties.The Senate has a member who has kept all military nominations on hold because the opposing party nominated them. And that party in both legislative chambers refuses to fund government.

Congress is broken right now.

Biden has no choice here.
I love how the part you’re upset about is that the house won’t provide funding for murdering people. Scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds.
