House Democrats just introduced their $2.5 trillion coronavirus stimulus package.

The 1,404 page bill: appropriations.house.gov/sites/democrat…

The one-page summary 👇
THE PELOSI CASH PLAN:

• $1,500 checks for individuals
• $3,000 for joint filers
• Extra $1,500 per kid up to 3
• Maximum $7,500 per family
• Universal for those w/ taxpayer ID # (includes seniors, unemployed)
• Individuals making $75K+ in 2020 will pay some/all of it back
This is big: House Democrats’ bill provides “minimum relief” of $10,000 for private student loan debt. The government makes the payments through the COVID-19 crisis plus six months then cuts your amount owed.
Pelosi’s coronavirus bill assures 15 days of early voting and vote-by-mail in every U.S. state starting in the November 2020 election.

"This was a medical problem. We're not going to let it turn into a long-lasting financial problem," Trump says. "Just not gonna allow that to happen."
AG William Barr opened by heaping praise on the president for "decisive leadership in this unprecedented battle to save American lives." Observing the prime directive.
"We have a lot of people dying from the flu," Trump says when asked if he shares the surgeon general's view that things will get very bad this week. "Certainly this is going to be bad. We're trying to make it so it's much, much less bad."

The Senate vote FAILS 47-47, falling short of the 60 needed to advance the coronavirus relief package.

Democrats blocked it out of objections to the GOP bill.

Gardner, Lee, Paul, Romney, Scott and Sanders didn’t vote.

McConnell switched his vote so he can bring it up again.
Why did Senate Democrats just block Republicans from advancing their coronavirus stimulus? Insufficient worker protections or restrictions on companies getting bailout $, a “secret bailout authority” (per one D aide) for Mnuchin, not enough public health $ for states/workers/etc.
McConnell sounds furious with Democrats, arguing they could have backed the procedural vote while negotiations continued. Schumer says the bill isn’t close to ready for prime time and Dems need it to improve before voting to move forward.

NEW: As Congress debates who should get a check, some experts on guaranteed income are urging lawmakers to make it universal. They say targeting creates bureaucratic hurdles and burns time the country doesn't have right now.

nbcnews.com/politics/congr…
"The idea of universality versus targeted — what matters the most is that it happens fast." Experts doubt the IRS is equipped to adjudicate eligibility on a person-by-person basis while also quickly getting cash to those in need.

Nobody thinks millionaires should get a check. One workaround? Make it universal on the front end for efficiency and tax it back later from rich people. nbcnews.com/politics/congr…

Here come @POTUS and @VP to start the daily @WhiteHouse #coronavirus task force briefing.
"I see we have fewer people because of the virus problem," begins @POTUS. "It's too bad. We extended our best wishes to the person affected."
Totally important to protect our Asian-American community around the world, "it's not their fault," says @POTUS.

The House has released the articles of impeachment against Trump. Read them here:
judiciary.house.gov/sites/democrat…
Article One: Trump abused his power by soliciting foreign interference in the 2016 election from the Ukrainian government, conditioning an Oval Office meeting and military aid on the public announcement of investigations into his political opponents.
The articles call for Trump to be not only impeached and removed from office but also disqualified from holding any government office in the future.

🔥It’sGameOn!🔥

The House has opened an impeachment investigation against Trump

The House filed a petition to access to redacted portions of the MR re GJ testimony re Trump’s knowledge of criminal acts, RU interference in the 2016Elex election & RU connex to his campaign.
🔥It’sGameOn2🔥

Finally, the committee seeks grand jury testimony about actions taken by former WH counsel Donald McGahn; this last request probably anticipates the committee’s rumored plans to seek an order compelling McGahn to testify.

#ObstructionOfJustice
🔥It’sGameOn3🔥

It is settled law that House committees can obtain GJ materials as part of the impeachment inquiry.

The Constitution’s text and structure — supported by judicial precedent & prior practice — show that impeachment is a process, not a single vote & IT IS UNDERWAY!
