"SNIP.....

“Top House Democrats on Monday signaled they are forging ahead with the next sweeping coronavirus relief package, aiming to increase the pressure on GOP leaders who have rejected Democratic priorities in previous aid bills,” Politico reports.

“On a private call with members Monday afternoon, Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her deputies sketched the outline of a trillion-dollar-plus package that would deliver aid to state and local governments — some on the brink of public service cuts — while shoring up safety-net programs for the nation’s most vulnerable.”

Said Pelosi: “We have to think big.”

1. Yes. A squeeze please... A BIG squeeze!

Go Nancy! Use that big beautiful (strategic) brain of yours and show 'em what you got.
Do your magic!

2. Oh yes, apply pressure in a testicular way!

Those GOP crooks have screwed us in the middle for too long!

3. This new package HAS TO help the U.S. Postal Service.

No more sidestepping and equivocating.

Even if it won't pass the Senate, let the Republicans go on record for shutting down the Post Office and putting the country in peril. And a veto-proof majority as Trump will likely veto the bill even if it passes the Senate.
