House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is forging ahead on her plans to develop another coronavirus-related relief package to address the ongoing public health crisis, including more direct payments to Americans and increased unemployment benefits.

Pelosi, in a letter addressed to House members, said she hopes to craft the legislation and bring it to the House floor for a vote later this month.

In the letter sent over the weekend, Pelosi said she wants to double down on the “down-payment we made in the CARES ACT” by passing more legislation aimed at providing relief to ailing communities. “Our communities cannot afford to wait, and we must move quickly. It is my hope that we will craft this legislation and bring it to the floor later this month,” Pelosi said in her letter.

The shift also came amid a record-setting number of Americans – 6.6 million – who filed for unemployment last week.Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell walks to the Senate chamber on Capitol Hill in Washington, March 24, 2020. “I've spoken to the leader. I've spoken to the speaker. I've spoken to the president constantly. When the president is ready and thinks we should do the next stage, we're ready,” he said.

Rep. Jim Clyburn, the Democratic whip, will lead the bipartisan panel, which will be authorized to “examine all aspects of the federal response to the Coronavirus and ensure the taxpayer dollars are being wisely and efficiently spent.”

TeamPelosi I am guessing you, Nancy, are thrilled at the Socialist type of government we are now experiencing. Keep giving more, more.

TeamPelosi

TeamPelosi replacegranny Pelosi to include support hose and Granny Panties in bill for all genders over 80 years of age.

And what else dose she want to sneak into the bill besides the additional benefits, let's all see the list first. We can all vote whether we like her bill or not. I would not be surprised if it full of Quid Pro Quos.

TeamPelosi Well she inserts her own agenda in it! She is Pathetic! No mail in ballots

TeamPelosi We haven't seen the first payments yet, mostly because SpeakerPelosi held us up for her pork!! Nearly 2 weeks!! Evil!!!

TeamPelosi Don’t forget the postal service

TeamPelosi Question: Who will be the overcite of the relief money when trump gets rid of all the igs?

TeamPelosi Make sure 'vote by mail' is included!

TeamPelosi Do Americans a favor and NO PORK can be added! Blast every Dem to end this. Every dime must be for Americans.

TeamPelosi With Injected Pork Once Again !

TeamPelosi Thank you. Add it to moscowmitch’s SBA Bill!

TeamPelosi Piglosi is a danger to the USA along with Pencil Neck,QPQJOE

TeamPelosi Hang on to your wallets! Team Pelosi is gonna screw us

TeamPelosi My auntie Nancy come through with that new bill 🤞🏽

TeamPelosi Accountability!!! Otherwise GOP (Gang of Politickers) will not provide strict oversight.

TeamPelosi Blacks should protest in pro sports for them killing us with the covid19. They need to fund our communities instead of extort us

TeamPelosi Nancy is greate. Have nice day.Lubos

TeamPelosi You aren't protecting the first round from the criminal regime...

TeamPelosi Be sure and set it up with no safeguards, again. Just cut to the chase and give it all to Trump.

TeamPelosi Fund USPS and mail in voting!

Save the post office ! Grant them debt relief send them money like your giving to Boeing the airlines and Carnival Cruise Lines!!!

You mean forging ahead with more pork for cronies and more bloated government overreach into the lives of people that don’t live inside the bubble?

Pelosi Helping The Poor So why do Poor Republicans Hate Pelosi? Brainwashed? Remember Poor Republicans Didn’t need or want Affordable Health Care. They wanted Space Force and a Wall

Another? She hasnt developed one yet. Except to add pork and hold up signing off on the others while.americans suffer. The Senate helped America

She really should retire and let the younger generation retire. I'm a boomer and even I'm sick of us.

You mean she's loading it up with liberal, unnecessary junk.

All of this will make the economy worse and any recovery harder.

The people who really suffer will appreciate your package instead of Trump’s big fat cheques essentially for the big corps.

I thought she did not have positive, why she worries and focusing on the corona $ finding too much. Is this crazy old witch thought she is queen of England?

I hope the Senate squashes every extraneous line item. It's just gonna be the green dream or whatever they call it.

Thanks Bernie.

THANKS! America will need it.

Pelosi delayed the first one putting her pet projects which had nothing to do with the virus now I wonder what she wants to put in again

I really hope the Kennedy Center gets another check.

More unemployment benefits? It's already over $900 per week

I hope it is just that and not all that pork.

A leader doing leader-type things, stuff that’s beyond realDonaldTrump.

Maybe she won't hold this one up for a week so she could pay Kennedy Center for nominating her

Untill when this woman will be in the congress she’s crazy please we need to remove her immediately she care less the people of de USA

PattyArquette Go Nancy👍

Why? Does she need another raise?

Keep spending money we don't have. Let's drive inflation through the roof. Keep printing it. It's just paper right ?

Forging ahead to fund her pet projects, and bankrupt the USA- all while throwing us some “crumbs”. You’d have to be a real idiot, nut case, or HATE your own country to support her and her ilk.

Maybe siphoning some funds off for her pet projects also. Nancy does not disappoint

No payouts. Interest free loans! Across the board from individual to the big companies.

WE DIDNT GET THE FIRST ONE YET. TELL MNUCHIN!! PEOPLE HAVE RENT AND FOOD TO BUY AND PAY BILLS 1200$ IS NOT ENOUGH!!!!

😇🙏 As Democrats demonize Wall Street CEOs as the 'greedy' fiends of the financial crisis, they've lined their own pockets — both before and after the crisis. Nancy Pelosi's just the latest example.

That's great! But we haven't got the first one yet!!🤔

PattyArquette Thank God we have Nancy Pelosi. Trump is terrified of her. He needs to be terrified right now, I sometimes think she is the only saving grace we have in Washington.

Now all of a sudden she's in a rush, after delaying the original relief package for 3 or 4 days - I think she's just trying to cover her rear by diverting attention from that fiasco

I have soo many questions.

But will Congress give up their paychecks? How much will the American people get? How much will be allotted for those making under $80,000 and will they get regular paychecks? Will those who still work at the grocery stores be given extra pay increase during this time?

You mean a democrat slush fund/pork package that gives out the bare minimum to struggling Americans. Fixed it for you.

And what pork is SpeakerPelosi going to put in this one. It will need read very carefully. Watch yourself Nancy-we the people are watching.

Tax payer money to places that fund Democrats. There's a word for that.

It’s not a relief package. It’s an excuse to cram her completely unrelated liberal pork projects into a bill. SpeakerPelosi is a sociopath.

The Booze & Botox Democrat is great at spending other peoples’ money while fomenting fear, racism and division & lying about our duly elected President. It’s too bad she’s so worthless at preventing suffering and death to the American people or otherwise doing her job.

Stop this..our kids and grandkids are never going to see a prosperous country!!

Gerçekten bu meclis başkanı, ABD başkanı olmalı süpersiniz. 👍👏

There seriously needs to be term limits for elected officials.

Relief package gonna be filled with unrelated shit for illegals

PattyArquette At least someone is trying to help Americans SURVIVE unlike the Asshole-In-Charge TrumpIsALoser

We can't even get the Paltry 1st one..Unemployment? That's a whole other chaotic mess..

If this isn't the world and a time the democratic party has always yearned for, a world of chaos followed by panic and despair, where the people are vulnerable and desperate when extensive government welfare is glorified I am pretty sure cannot contain it's joy

Benefits to go to illegals. Thx Nancy, you traitor.

Please since Mr. McConnell's plan only helped the Rich . Small business, service workers left in the lurch.

SpeakerPelosi need community gardens for food security to supplement food banks.

Do you think she could leave her pet project pork out this time?

Yes I’m sure she’s getting no benefits from this one!?

Does Nancy need another raise?

All this money I see on tv and there speeches I have been out of work GregAbbott_TX 1month now TWS has not updated self employment options for any like me .where is600and why we r not getting approved

Does it include windmills, board diversity mandates and legalized voter fraud again?

It will probably have a lot of good things in it for US citizens but won’t pass the senate because she’ll put a bunch of non relief related stipulations in it.

I don't think that anyone who is a 'conservative Republican' should be allowed to get any 'entitlements.' It is a 'federal' hand out isn't it? Just sayin.

..... as Rome burns .... Haha... Bankrupt nation, increasing debt for all, to buy elections... CureWorseThanDisease

Trump the bantcrupcy chief would leave America in bantcrupcy
