Are the Democrats proposing that Green New Deal items and voting reform legislation be included in the package?

 

The only thing I heard was Turtle Man complaining that Dems want airlines to combat emissions in their fleets if they are going to get more money.

The fact that one of them is actually doing something that might help fight the ongoing epidemic probably helps his score, too.

The difference is that Johnson's buffoon image (the always messed up hair, etc.) is a carefully created act to deflect criticism and generate sympathy. Trump is what he is, and can't help himself.

yes

 

 

 

Does someone have a source for the specifics of the bill?  Actual bill text would be even more appreciated.

It's being negotiated behind closed doors.  

 

Which, unfortunately, means that the only things we hear, out here, are the things that Side X claims that Side Y is doing.

Thought I'd share this...a few employees where my wife works were stopped while driving to work by the National Guard and were told to go home unless they had a note stating that where they work has been deemed essential.

 

They are actually deemed essential so they went home got the note and went in.

I think a Republican staff member complaining the Democrats discussed wanting to eliminate 10k of student loan debt per person.  Elizabeth Warren called for an agreement that business could only get support if they agreed to a permanent $15 dollar minimum wage for their company going forward.

 

I don't know if those are issues that were actually being requested in negotiations, but those are what some people are discussing as potentially problematic if they were being requested.

Interesting, although how do they know if people are going to work or going out for groceries?

Wife and I were thinking the same thing actually...i think they pull you over and ask. If you dont say groceries, pharmacy or Dr. You're told to go home.
