vindictive Trump won't support covid stimulus vote until after election day, could tank the economy
Looking more like pathological Trump is going full scorched earth, not caring whether his “Trump checks” will get to potential voters. The economy will likely tank (more), now that Trump wants to give winning Dems more grief for the Blue Tsunami. And then there’s the super-spreader candidate for SCOTUS. Trump says he told Senate Republican leader McConnell to…

AK-Sen: Dr. Al Gross (I) Calls On Congress To Expand Coronavirus Testing In Next Stimulus Package
Received this e-mail today from Dr. Al Gross’ (I. AK) U.S. Senate campaign: It’s simple: We cannot reopen the economy without a huge expansion of testing for the coronavirus. Without testing and contact tracing, forcing people to go back to work is only going to hasten the spread of this virus, and far too many…
KY-Sen: The Nation, “Mitch McConnell’s (R) Stimulus Scam: Vaccinate Businesses, Expose Workers”
Elie Mystal from The Nation has a new piece out about how U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R.

Biden Calls For A Progressive Stimulus Package That's “A Hell Of A Lot Bigger” Than $2 Trillion
I’m liking this: Joe Biden wants a more progressive approach to economic stimulus legislation than Washington has taken so far, including much stricter oversight of the Trump Administration, much tougher conditions on business bailouts and long-term investments in infrastructure and climate that have so far been largely absent from congressional debates. In a fiery half-hour…

VA-Sen: Sen. Mark Warner (D) Pushes For Robust Oversight On The Coronavirus Stimulus Package
Received this e-mail from U.S. Senator Mark Warner’s (D.

In the Senate, Mark’s priorities for this law have been to get aid quickly to the people who need it most…
Trump's name will be printed on paper stimulus checks, likely slowing their arrival
Because it’s far more important to give Donald J. Trump credit for doling out cash than to stimulate a cratered economy ASAP, we get this execrable nonsense. The Washington Post: The Treasury Department has ordered President Trump’s name be printed on stimulus checks the Internal Revenue Service is rushing to send to tens of millions of…
CO-Sen: Denver Post, “Cory Gardner (R) once opposed economic stimulus bills. Not anymore.”
What a difference ten years makes: In early 2010, Cory Gardner sent an email to supporters that criticized his Democratic opponent, U.S. Rep. Betsy Markey, for supporting “the most expensive spending bill in the history of the United States,” an economic stimulus package that cost upward of $800 billion. “The stimulus has failed. But anyone with common sense…
Coronavirus stimulus bill includes funding for abstinence-only education
Here’s some irony for you. How do you give the American public relief from coronavirus anxiety? Get them focused on their unplanned pregnancies and STDs instead! Apparently, among the partisan goodies in the Senate’s recently passed $2 trillion stimulus bill is an extension of federal funding for abstinence-only sex education. The New York Times: The…

ME-Sen: Collins (R) Argued Against $870 Million For Pandemic Funding In 2009 Stimulus Package
Kudos to Newsweek for reminding us of this: As U.S. health officials have expressed concern over the insufficient amount of testing and overall unpreparedness in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, a 2009 stimulus bill has gained attention for the removal of funding for pandemic preparations.
