   There are four must-reads this Sunday morning, and they’re all   
   on the same theme, one that always frustrates the Biden White   
   House: progressive angst over the direction of policy.   
      
   CNN’s Maeve Reston notes that the “gulf between progressive   
   ambition and the legislative reality means there is all-but-   
   certain friction ahead between [President JOE] BIDEN and the   
   restive liberal wing of his party,” and that “hopes of achieving   
   real reforms on thorny issues like gun control, voting rights,   
   police reform — and now even infrastructure — have proved   
   elusive.”   
      
   POLITICO’s Laura Barrón-López details how Biden will miss his   
   self-imposed May 25 deadline for passing a police reform bill,   
   and what it means for the future of that legislation. On   
   Tuesday, May 25 — the one-year anniversary of GEORGE FLOYD’s   
   murder — Biden will meet with Floyd’s family at the White House.   
      
   The Washington Post’s Dan Balz explains how “[a]t home and   
   abroad, President Biden is confronting what it means to lead a   
   changing Democratic Party,” and says Biden soon “will have to   
   make some difficult choices about the unfinished parts of his   
   economic and domestic agenda” as he faces “pressure from the   
   left on voting rights, immigration, racial injustice, guns and   
   the filibuster.”   
      
   The WSJ has a pair of good pieces on the same general subject.   
   One previews the coming Biden budget, which will disappoint   
   liberals by not including progressive health care priorities.   
   The other explores pressure from the left on Israel and policing   
   reform, which is causing some indigestion for House Speaker   
   NANCY PELOSI and Senate Majority Leader CHUCK SCHUMER. (Though   
   it didn’t get much attention, members of The Squad almost   
   scuttled a Capitol security bill on Thursday.)
