There may be no baseball but Speaker Pelosi just hit this out of the fucking park

Go Speaker Pelosi! Keep those boots on his neck.

She told the Con to withdraw the attempts to have the Court shut down the Affordable Care Act.

Please ignore the corporate hacks. This is about society not the market

The republicans have tried to push this trough in a rush in the same fashion as the 2001 mistake where everyone votes on the urgency without reading the details.
Good to see that Manchin is standing strong at the moment, but despite what happens on the Senate, Nancy has got to hold strong in the house.

have them accept dem bills in its entirety. Have them first vote on all the bills house has passed. Dems stop being so soft, lose the fking bleeding heart and go lethal!! Not a dollar to airlines! They are not auto industry, they are not manufacturing anything. There would be no need for many airlines as people will fundamentally change their travel habits for decades.

While health care and lives are dangling ...
This is why we (try) to elect politicians ... It just works so much better.

ABC News online carried Joe's video speech midday today and that was one of his best points- that Americans need reassurance about their health care and not have to worry they could lose coverage

that the Senate had the option of splitting the coronavirus stimulus bill into two bills: one bill addressing the needs of American workers, healthcare providers, and cities and states trying to cope with the crisis and another bill to bail out corporations. That way they could pass the one to help Americans immediately, and THEN wage the battle over corporate bailouts.

Nancy, Chuck, and the rest of the Dems should demand that the bills be split RIGHT NOW and then when the Republicans refuse to split the bill (which they will, of course) Nancy and Chuck should do a primetime news conference to say that it's the Republicans who are blocking the stimulus bill by refusing to split it. And no blinking! Get 'em Nancy and Chuck! You've got truth and justice on your side!

Maybe they have already done this and I'm just unaware of it. Been trying to limit my TV news watching today so that I can bring my anxiety level down a notch or two.

Have no fear the corporations will allow ReTHUGs to spin their yarn and attack Dems and workers. I heard Cassidy talking some shit about aircraft emissions holding up the ReTHUG bill. They are so dishonest.
Truth be told Dems need AOC and Bernie to scream about this madness
