WASHINGTON – House Speaker Nancy Pelosi unveiled details Thursday of a bipartisan deal she has been negotiating with Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin and Republican lawmakers.
Set aside up to 14 days of paid sick leave and up to three months of paid family and medical leave for workers affected by the coronavirus contamination.Ensure availability of food assistance such as SNAP, student meals, seniors’ nutrition and food banks. Democrats were able to place a temporary hold on work requirements under SNAP during the public health crisis.
“That was very shocking,” Pelosi said of the markets. “I'm not going to go into that because what we're trying to do is be a positive” force. Getting the deal across the finish line remains a top priority for Congress as the virus continues to deepen its impact on every way of life across the globe. Amid pressure on lawmakers to act, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell canceled the Senate's planned recess break next week and will instead work on getting this legislation passed into law.Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., made her Fox News debut to discuss the coronavirus outbreak on Thursday.
She seemed to be referencing some officials who have been able to access tests even though they have said they were not showing any symptoms. “It is an absolute moral imperative that our response as a government, as a society, as a business community, and as individual citizens, meet the enormity of this crisis,” he said.
"I am glad talks are ongoing between the Administration and Speaker Pelosi. I hope Congress can pass bipartisan legislation to continue combating the coronavirus and keep our economy strong," McConnell wrote. “This disease could impact every nation under any person on the planet,” Biden said during his remarks at Hotel Du Pont in Wilmington, Delaware. “We need a plan about how we’re going to aggressively manage it at home.”

What other items were included. Embarrassment Pelosi.
Damn , they are going to drown businesses and the Taxpayers! This is supposed to Help not disable America .
And how does this help the self employed small businesses?
The GOP doesn't see this as a good thing. They want to give billions to large corporations instead. Helping the people doesn't put money in the republicans pockets. It puts money in the peoples pocket and they consider that to be socialist.
Cuz everything he said so far is right on target. Hah.
Evil Pelosi tried to sneak in abortion issues instead of making this focus on Caronavirus. She cares more about playing politics than helping people quickly. Dems say “don’t politicize this” then do exactly that.
And free abortions!
Biden wins Coronavirus hands down! I always knew the Clintons would bring out the Coronavirus war!
The speaker of the house is bringing forth a sound proposal. I hope those who seemed to be waffling, in the house chamber will see fit to expedite their suspicions or desire to see the president declare an emergency thus not requiring one Republican signature. Eyes sky ear's wall
Nancy Pelosi is a disgrace. Democrats are killing off people and then blaming others.

When they build a statue or monument to Nancy Pelosi, I hope it somehow incorporates or represents children, justice and the Constitution because Pelosi has championed all three her entire political career. 👪⚖📜🇺🇸
