The Biden administration announced Thursday, July 29 it will allow a nationwide ban on evictions to expire Saturday, arguing that its hands are tied after the Supreme Court signaled it would only be extended until the end of the month.

Instead, Biden called on "Congress to extend the eviction moratorium to protect such vulnerable renters and their families without delay."(AP Photo/Elise Amendola)

Hey, will any of these politicians offer up their homes or public office space to house these millions of non-payers?
Where's any mention of the frustration of property owners that haven't collected rent?
