Senate's return sets stage for showdown over coronavirus relief package.

both agree that a fourth piece of legislation is needed to address the enveloping health and economic crises, but that is about as much common ground as the two leaders appear to have found so far.

Senate Minority Leader Sen. Chuck Schumer of N.Y. speaks with reporters outside the Senate chamber on Capitol Hill, April 21, 2020. Democrats and Republicans have already been squabbling over whether or not to send additional funding to state and locals governments hit hard by the economic fallout from the pandemic. Democrats have proposed more than $500 billion in such aid with Pelosi recently suggesting around $1 trillion.

President Donald Trump walks on the South Lawn of the White House after stepping off Marine One, May 3, 2020. "Of course, I'd be happy to get creative. Whether painting, or website work, or composing mix tapes for our drag shows, I was well prepared to fill the docket. There was only one snag. Everyone on unemployment will be receiving $600 extra per week from the feds," he wrote.

One of the Senate’s first priorities upon its return will be to consider Trump’s nomination of Brian Miller to serve as the special inspector general to supervise the pandemic recovery work at the Treasury Department. Miller, who most recently served in the White House Counsel Office, has a confirmation hearing before the Banking Committee on Tuesday.

McConnell is a poli trickster who keeps the Dems on the defense until the Dems acquiesce. Now, McConnell has gotten the Repubs’ stimulus pkg thru — gave our tax $s to corporations & banks — he’s ready to block aide for the people. Folks are blinded by the pandemic. Grand theft!

Pleaaaaasssseeee Karma... you know who’s been begging for it... Do America a huge favor...

Hey mitch. Get ready for the blowback. Gonna divert some more of the relief $ to big business fella!

They're like Hogs most be feeding time! The GOP Socialism is endless!

Relief me pinga. The last time they did something. It took 3 weeks for the money to show up in the bank. And here we are already into May. It’s too late to help. The rent was due 3 days ago. DC is useless

Can we budget some funds to pay for a paper bag to put over McConnell's frog face?

We don't need another one

OllyOllyInFree No more bail outs, open the country and get back to work

Pathological lying isn’t a clinical diagnosis, though it can sometimes be a symptom of other issues, such as a personality disorder or a manic episode. But some people get so accustomed to lying that they do so even when there is no clear purpose.!🇺🇸

One of the most repulsive person I’ve ever seen!!

Can't see Mitch's puss anymore.

White House allows Fauci to testify before the Senate, but not the HouseThe White House has blocked Dr. Fauci from testifying about the response to coronavirus before the House Appropriations Cmte., but will allow him to testify before the Senate Health Cmte., led by Republicans, the following week. Trump is afraid of the truth and of the American people knowing the truth. Trump is simply fighting to protect his re-election chances instead of fighting COVID19 to protect American lives. He failed to acknowledge crisis, called it a hoax, negated facts, refused expert advice. I smell a cover-up by the White House and it smells fishy. See: separation of powers.
