That doesn\u2019t mean new checks are coming to American households hammered by spiraling unemployment \u2013 the bill hasn\u2019t got a chance in hell of passing because, for one, the White House has been saying for weeks it won\u2019t play ball. Trump aides including treasury secretary Steven Mnuchin spent Sunday pushing their own priorities, including a payroll tax cut (eg, cutting Social Security and Medicare) and concessions tied to hardline policy priorities on immigration, which Democrats \u2026 are not very likely to entertain.Since every corner of the House Democratic Caucus is vying for their priorities in this bill, it is subject to change even upon release. (Officially, the leadership says they are still working, and will release a bill when there\u2019s consensus.)[House Speaker Nancy Pelosi] also plans to muscle through a measure to institute proxy voting whenever the chamber officially returns to DC.The Senate is taking a different approach: The Republican leadership is looking to pump the brakes on the next bill, while Majority Leader Mitch McConnell continues with other legislating.

It was corrupt in 2016. Now it is much more corrupt, and what you are seeing is the least of it….but WE WILL WIN AGAIN! https:\/\/t.co\/UXyOrQ7fXW Continue reading…
