Last-minute complaints threaten $2T Senate coronavirus emergency aid
By Jordain Carney - 03/25/20 04:05 PM EDT

A round of eleventh-hour objections is throwing a curveball into the Senate's consideration of a mammoth stimulus package.
 
Senate leadership announced the deal on the $2 trillion bill shortly after 1 a.m., and want to pass it Wednesday as they face intense pressure to take steps to reassure an American public and an economy rattled by the coronavirus.
 
But a brewing fight over a deal on unemployment provisions is threatening to open the door to a push for broader changes to the bill, which was negotiated by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin.
 
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), who is running for the Democratic presidential nomination, warned that unless a group of GOP senators back down from their demand for changes to the unemployment insurance benefits, he would slow walk the bill until stronger guardrails were put on hundreds of billions in funding for corporations.

I've turned against the bill because of the $400M poison pill inserted that will affect elections by encouraging more mail-in voting.  Yeah, it's 11th hour, because the Uniparty is hiding the details from us.  Tough shit.

Did you see the $25 million the snuck in to give themselves a raise?

A rounding error, compared to the damage the proposed changes to elections that will encourage ballot harvesting.  I wish they'd take the $25M bribe, just to leave us alone on the other.

Yeah the ballot harvesting is pretty disturbing.  We've already seen how that's been used to the advantage of the Progressive's in California.

Exactly.  I'd rather pay off the bribe.

Four Senators knew that this was wrong, and called it out.  But still it passes.

AG William Barr: "I'm recused from that matter because one of the law firms that represented Epstein long ago was a firm that I subsequently joined for a period of time."

Alexander Acosta Labor Secretary resigned under pressure concerning his "sweetheart deal" with Jeffrey Epstein.  He was under consideration for AG after Sessions was removed, but was forced to resign instead.

We have no Senate! It has been replaced by a House of Lords.  (See the 17th amendment!)
