Senate Republicans have no plans to unveil an alternative to the massive relief bill passed by House Democrats

While McConnell and many of his members have conceded that another bill is likely at some point, the Kentucky Republican

“In terms of what the timing would look like, I suspect that doesn’t happen until sometime after Memorial Day,” said Senate Majority Whip John Thune . “I’d put the chance of another bill right now at way less than 50 percent for the foreseeable future. I mean I hear all this talk that, ‘Well, we’ll get back together and something will get worked out in June,’” said Sen. John Kennedy .Sen. Susan Collins

senatemajldr and the rest of the Republicans sheep won't act until the child in the oval office throws his next incoherent tantrum. You will notice Republican 'leadership' is acting more and more like Trump...without form or direction. No planning, just adrift at sea.

Of course! They don’t want the Democrats in Congress to get any credit for passing a bill that really helps the poor and middle class people who are at the highest risk for losing their jobs and starving! GOP trillions Care Bill bailed out Shale, gas and oil corps!

Nothing about COVID justifies a permanent change in the role of government. Nothing.

😂😂🤣🤣 Sweet. Let them explain that to the nation.

The GOP plan is to send working class Americans out to sacrifice themselves and their families lives for big business profits. While the fat cats stay safe at home.

Nothing new here

When they present garbage, they should expect that!

Yeah...regular, working folks be damned...'A Christian country' yeah, right...

Of course they don’t smh

Disgusting Failure of Leadership!😢

People are dying! People are starving, look at the food lines! Peoples lives are being destroyed! AND YOU FAIL TO HELP - HEARTLESS 🥵😡🥵😡

A Dem Political Stunt: ✅1,200 checks for illegals ✅20.0M for the Arts &Museums ✅50 Billion for colleges ✅3.6 Billion for mail in voting ✅25.0 Billion for post office ✅100 Billion for domestic violence This will help Covid-19?

And you call that bill that Pelosi wrote up while she was on drugs a plan get fucking real

What A Bunch Of Bull Chit This BillIs waste of TAXPAYERS MONEY

Good. It's asinine to discuss spending money to prop up the economy when most of the economy is still shut down. Until EVERYONE can reopen and get back to work, we won't know the true impact of lost jobs due to the Chinese Virus! THEN & only then can they discuss stimulus.

shocking. maybe moscow will put forward something.

It's almost more important to get rid of MoscowMitch than trump.

GOP under Trump is clearly the Party of No: No good ideas—No rules—No educational funding—No job creation—No economic growth—No health care—No civil rights—No reproductive rights—No unions—No compassion! TrumpHasNoPlan GOPBetrayedAmerica VoteBlueToSaveAmerica2020 VoteBlue

The only relief we need is to let us reopen and get back to work.

Moscow Mitch is too busy trying to protect his corporate donors from being held liable for when people will catch Covid-19 while being at work.

Stick to it!

Wrong. The plan is to let the last two huge efforts settle in, then decide. The smart approach.

GOPGenocide plain & simple

Just like they’ve never had a plan for healthcare. senatemajldr

They want to see anyone who didn’t vote for them suffer, and do everything they can do deny them our right to vote. You just have to look at history to know how this ends. Not well.

They have no plan. Their friends got all the cash from the first bill so they see no need for more.

Ms. Collins, remember when the Senate taught our President the laws do not apply to him? You chose not to call even one witness. Stop feigning surprise.

Democrat massive relief with a lot of lard. The Aden’s sure do love their lard.

'Massive pork bill' you meant, caught your typo.

I think we the ppl deserve the help especially if we pay n give our hard earning workin money n taxes some of us either have to pay more or get nothing ya really have no empathy or sympathy for the ppl

SpeakerPelosi wastes weeks writing up basically a PSA that she knows has no chance of passing instead of actually working in a bi-partisan way to get help to Americans & American Businesses If your “complaining” nothing is being done ask her why She’s wasting time & taxpayer $$

No healthcare plan either.

The republicans have not had a real plan for anything since 1960. They think packing the courts with unqualified judges is going to save the world. There greed is blinding them all!!

We don’t need one

They aren't that used to doing anything that they could be held accountable for. Mnuchin had to hold their hand on the last bill.

Yeah, because it takes time to create something that doesn't bankrupt the country.

Thank God. And I mean it.

Bernie’s supporters should’ve known how dangerous Trump was in 2016 and still didn’t vote like they couldn’t even be bothered to vote for Bernie.

No spike in coronavirus in places reopening, U.S. health secretary saysAuthorities are not seeing spikes in coronavirus cases in places that are reopening but are seeking increases in some areas that remain closed, U.S. health secretary Alex Azar said on Sunday. Florida won’t report their numbers. You need at least 14 days for an incubation period for this virus. Many states just reopened yesterday. This Health Secretary is incompetent, ignorant & should be fired. Just another 45 sycophant. The U.S. Health Secretary lies. Just take a look at Texas. That's not what they're saying In Texas ... you can't believe Trumpsters all they do is lie.
