I realize I'm being a broken record about this, but Congress took two weeks off knowing this was coming, and Biden had the Constitutional authority to call them back into session. This is a failure to lead.

Too much of the dysfunction in D.C. right now is either lack of urgency (failure to file paperwork on an FDA nomination, various vacancies) or a stop-and-go legislative process that tries to force progress through unrealistic, self-imposed deadlines intended to provoke a crisis.
As a chronic procrastinator who self-motivates by last-minute panic, I understand the approach, but I also don't think people like me should be running the country. At the very least, that leadership failure deserves to be called out by a press corps that currently enables it.
You can attempt a sedate, measured governing style, or you can tell the public there are multiple overlapping existential crises, but regularly shifting gears between the two is grating
