For now, there won’t be another Covid stimulus bill, and both sides will have to figure out how to position themselves amid the rubble of what might be Congress’ biggest swing and miss in a decade

by Eric Morath: “Filings for jobless benefits fell to their lowest level since the coronavirus hit the U.S. in March—a sign layoffs eased somewhat in a still struggling labor market—but remained at historically high levels for the 20th straight week.by a seasonally adjusted 249,000 to 1.2 million for the week ended Aug. 1, the Labor Department said Thursday, well above the pre-pandemic record of 695,000 in 1982.

by NYT’s Sheryl Gay Stolberg: “Old allies and public health experts have expressed disgust at her accommodations to Mr. Trump and, more so, at the performance of the federal response she is supposed to be leading against the most devastating public health crisis in a century. Ms. Pelosi said she had lost confidence in Dr. Birx, while Mr. Trump called her ‘pathetic’ after she suggested the obvious: The coronavirus is in a ‘new phase’ and is spreading rampantly.

Democrats rather see Americans suffer, our economy tank, and unemployment rise than help the POTUS. They put party ahead country.

This is on the house GOP. They've had room to negotiate for months and have only made a mockery of the process.

Both sides need to do nothing more than sit on their very LARGE pay checks. I hope poor trump supporters are paying attention. Tho, they’re probably not smart enough.

Americans are paying politicians $3,346+ per wk to tell them they don’t deserve $600 per wk during a pandemic. In the last 12 months the Fed has injected the equivalent of nearly $10,000 per US citizen into financial markets. to enrich billionaires & nationalize the stock market

And they wonder why Americans HATE Congress as a whole. But believe me, the Senate repubturds and Trump r to blame more!

Or, the people, homeless and starving will show up at their congress members’ homes and riot.

They all make me sick!! We pay them. They live off of our money. They dont earn it. Its a charade!!

The art of the deal?

Despicable people in DC

Good!!! We do not need another vote buying bill

Congress will pay dearly for taking politics over aid to Americans. Dems better cover their butts and lay blame on the GOP and Trump.

The ruling class is complicit in working class suffering. Burn it down

Why do you show those two in the photo? Congress passed a bill that the Senate refuses to even look at. The Senate still has nothing. You should have senate majority leaders in the picture.

Fucking pathetic

Way to eff this up dems! Your hatred of the President is more important than helping Americans.

1) GeneralStrike now. 2) If they aren't strung up from lampposts before November: Vote out Congressional Republican leadership. Vote out Congressional Democratic leadership.

Look at what we have come to

Is this where we all 'yaaas qweeeen' because Nanci tore up a speech?

No We will not SettleForBiden We won’t SettleForTrump. I won’t vote for either criminal gang. I will DraftJesse and I suggest you all do the same. It’s high time we get a independent in the White House whose a real patriot unlike Teflon Don. It’s time for PresidentVentura

Yes. Party positioning is what we worry about now. Not Americans going hungry, losing their homes and facing a pandemic without health care.

I would guess none of the Members of Congress are going home to Eviction Notices and empty shelves? CARESAct

Corporations already got their basically limitless bailout so everyone else is left to suffer.

Most of them think everything is fine. Trump is touting job numbers. Who cares what is really happening to actual people? Can't make this shit up.

The Democrats should taken the $400 offer and the GOP should be more flexible on the liability issue. Oh well, it's only people's lives being ruined. There should be no recess until there's a deal.

Republicans will pay for this in nov. we need them out of control. Dems have had a bill for weeks to help folks

Members of congress receive $3,346.15 PER WEEK, from tax payers. Republican millionaire members of congress are begrudging American tax payers $600 a week during the coronavirus disaster while they rake in $13,384 a month, from us, for working part time.

MaskUpAmerica

Both sides? You mean GOP and WhiteHouse realDonaldTrump ? CARES II / HEROES has been waiting for months. Where is senatemajldr ? JoeBiden DNC

You mean REPUBLICAN swing and miss. The GOP have proven over and over again that they are incapable of governing. And here we are.

Americans, homeless & hungry, will remember republicans for what they have done.

WRONG HEADLINE. SpeakerPelosi and HouseDemocrats passed CARES II long time ago and MoscowMitchMcTreason and his SenateGOP AND realDonaldTrump refused to even consider it. Now, benefits lapsed, evictions resumed, still no jobs to go to, and people are dying! JoeBiden DNC 🇺🇸

DEMOCRATS PASSED A BILL OVER 11 WEEKS AGO

Party over People 💔

Yes. CONGRESS's biggest miss. The Democrats in Congess, specifically.

Dems swung, Reps missed....the American people are ultimately the losers by a Republican package that just doesn’t aggressively spend where it should to help get the country through the pandemic. So if it comes down to an election issue the GOP will lose big!

Are they still sending out the additional $1200? Did anyone menton that?

With new jobs number and lower unemployment, there is less incentive for more stimulus.

Hmm, the House passed its bill in May. Why have the Rs delayed until the 11th hour? Because they believed DonTheCon when he said CV-19 would magically disappear. Make them pay the price in November for this reprehensible dawdling.
