As President Trump tries to move on from the coronavirus, Congress is rushing to fill the void. Lawmakers of both parties are working to develop policies and unleash resources to battle the pandemic.

say the death toll could essentially double this summer, from 70,000 as of Friday to 134,000 by early August, as states loosen stay-home restrictions, according to a model from the University of Washington.

As the Senate resumed this past week while the House stayed largely away, lawmakers drilled into pandemic policy. Rep. Tom Cole of Oklahoma, the ranking Republican on the committee, was particularly interested in Frieden’s proposal for a new public health fund modeled on those Congress uses to pay the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, separate from budget caps.On the other side of the Capitol, an exasperated Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., grilled officials about the national testing strategy she has pushed since early March.

Conservative Republicans in particular resist a robust federal government intervention, preferring a state-by-state approach. Many share Trump’s view that “the remedy can’t be worse” than the disease, as record Americans are out of work. Trump will need to sign any legislation into law.

I wont sell my freedom and human rights for money or 'safety '

Dems looking for more pork.

So Trump’s plan is to just let Americans rot and die from the pandemic?

C'mon America let's kick this President out of office. People have done this in other countries why can't we in America.

😂😂😂😂😂 Hello? Anybody in there?

Throw congress out

Congress is rushing to fill the void I’m sorry is that the same Congress that still hasn’t showed up for work yet

Stop spending! Adding trillions of debt in a failing economy thanks to the forced government shutdown isn't going to help balance a budget as anyone running a home or business knows, it simply adds to the problems. Free the American people so they can save their own homes and job

It’s about time they want to do their job

As it turns out realDonaldTrump isn't much of a president. Not a surprise but the fact that the evil GOP continues to enable him is truly remarkable and sad.

The more the Democrats can keep the Chinese Virus in the headlines, the longer they can keep Obamagate on the back burner. Hoping Biden wins and it get buried for life. realDonaldTrump needs to cut the DOJ loose. Let them finish the job sooner rather than later.

Congress has been off work since March!!! Even the Senate has reconvened. They are complicit and run by Madame Tweeker Pelosi.

Coronavirus is Trump's last wife. Or current one, for that matter.

How about by getting rid of the liars who have turned this whole thing into a circus? Why are we still paying for subpar work?

No money for Trump in pandemic having failed miserably. Now is it time for him to con the American voters he is going to bring back all the jobs lost bc of virus? Are they going to buy the crap? A sucker born every day! Not one so many! Failed state USA!

You Chinese bots are getting boring

The president is promoting state control and greater efforts are being made by officials designated to their area instead of relying on a blanket response by the government 🤔 almost as if our name United States is applying practically as it should be. We aren't the EU

Bullshit. Nancy doesn't even have them in session

United bipartisan efforts to develop effective policies to lead this battle could actually be the answer. Please please work together to make us stronger. Trump is neither capable nor willing.

It seems the entire world is trying to fill the void left by President Trump, on so many levels it's hard to see or know what he has done right with his time in office.

Rushing? Nancy Pelosi took a few weeks off to eat ice cream. You guys are on point today.

Pelosi's House wasted a total of four weeks, plus Easter break time during the time period the existing bills were passed. But, yes, by all means, write the headline to look like Trump has abandoned the effort and Congress is rushing in to do,well, uh, they don't have a clue yet

There will be NO 'moving on' from ANY of Trump's INCOMPETENT actions. As November draws near, EVERY ONE OF THEM will be pulled out and thrown back IN HIS FACE. The stress & depression Trump is feeling now will only INCREASE, resulting in even more hostile & malicious attacks.

Overlords telling us all the activities we can and can’t do!!’n

I will save others the read: the dude in WH doesn't consider COVID-19 his problem. He is 'moving on'& states have to deal w/ the on-going aftermath of his lack of response for 1 month due to rallying & golfing. He only cares about being re-elected & grifting. We are on our own

Trump wants you to DieForTheDow 80,000 Americans have died, due directly to trump's incompetence and insistence on golfing, holding rallies, and ignoring US intelligence on a pending pandemic he was notified of in December. If this is what you call 'Great', well...ByeDon2020

You mean plandemic and hoax

BS. Congress is still sitting at home

A blatant decision not to provide federal oversight because; 1. If they ignore it, it doesn't exist 2. Donald Trump cannot govern himself out of a paper bag 3. Donald Trump does not give a damn if Americans become collateral damage for his re-election 4. All of the above.

Why haven’t they all along

This tweet it worded to be bombastic. But they’re literally suggesting that our legislative branch is rushing to... legislate! Woah. They’re actually doing their jobs?

Alternate headline: As Trump tries to reopen the country, Democrats resist and try to work on more government reliance

This Corona Virus Thing Didn't Pan Out Like I Thought So I Thought I would make a Few Bucks!

Aw, Congress must do something. Good grief.

You mean while he refocuses on restarting America and the economy? Where has congress been these last 2 months? Maybe if they worked with the administration instead of against it, we’d be in a better place now. Please stop sensationalizing your headlines!

Your click bait headline is a belly laugh. *Congress races to fill the void* NOW?

Can’t sweep this under the rug as much as he continues to try. It’s out there.

Alternative headline - Congress is finally stepping up to the plate to do their job

How do you move on from something that’s killing thousands of people a day? The only thing Trump should move on from is the presidency.

Wow so you mean Congress is going to take on the task of creating laws?

He is on to getting re-elected. Power is everything. Meanwhile TheDemocrats have made a mistake pushing JoeBiden against realDonaldTrump . Looks a easy win for Trump.

Anti-Trump Garbage.

While the President whines about stuff on Twitter all day...

Congress should have Biden give a “hand”, he has the right democratic “touch”!
