As we mentioned earlier, the White House is reportedly mulling over declaring a national climate emergency in order to offset the damage Democratic problem child Joe Manchin has done to their Build Back Better agenda.
But really, what is there to even think about? Apparently there’s at least one Hill staffer who thinks this should be a no-brainer for Joe Biden (which, incidentally, is the ideal kind of brainer for Joe Biden):

Don’t worry, we grabbed a screenshot:
That’s quite a tweet, isn’t it?

It’s just so fantastic on so many levels.
Of course this dope with pronouns in the bio works for Cori Bush. How many boxes can be checked here? https://t.co/8unSSgDle2

Wait … he works for Cori Bush? Does that mean he’s in the union for congressional staffers who have been victims of their bosses’ “culture of abuse”?
Actually, it looks like he is:
But we digress.
"put our bodies between joe manchin's greed"

Heh.
What does "put our bodies between" even mean?
Is he threatening Manchin? https://t.co/Yt0mzFi0mE

You know, now that we think about it, it does like it could be a threat …
So hill staffers like this one who works for Rep. Cori Bush are now issuing (then deleting, lol) threats to use their "bodies" to stop Senator Joe Manchin from… getting to the Capitol? Making it to the Senate floor? Voting?
Sounds a lil insurrection-y to me. pic.twitter.com/EgSTEf8KeX

That’s a great question! Maybe we should ask Andy Levin to comment.
In the meantime:
anyway if these rubes want biden to declare a national emergency and turn off a bunch of oil wells that would be disastrous for america and the world but on the other hand republicans would win like 75 House seats so could be fun
