GUESS WHO S BACK: The sun is starting to come out in the beltway, and House members are on their way back to Washington this week, where they have a lot of work in front of them, including Democrats’ infrastructure deal. The House returns tomorrow evening for votes, and the Senate returns at 3 p.m. today. It is going to be a busy time but we are ready to see how this all shakes out.

Despite decrying the overuse of executive orders during the campaign as dictatorial, on Wednesday, Joe Biden let loose another blizzard of executive orders. Just half a week into his presidency, CNN counted up 30 such orders coming from Biden’s Oval Office on a wide array of subjects. Biden has imposed so many executive orders that the nation, including the media, has no time to analyze or react to most of them.
But Biden executive orders concerning domestic energy production are getting attention, scrutiny and pushback. His climate-change order includes a directive to end so-called federal “subsidies” for fossil-fuel producers.
