My guess is the House Democratic caucus, Pelosi, the progressives, and Senate Dems are going to take a slightly better McConnell bill. They have done nothing to set themselves up to bargain for anything. It's gross and pathetic.

And rent is still due on April 1.
Also, the Mnuchin fund is going to be leveraged against the Fed balance sheet 10:1, so this is more like a $6 trillion bill, with most of it going to big business. It's a coup. America is not going to be recognizable after this.
Pelosi simply chose not to have the House in session, and chose not to play a role in one of the biggest legislative packages of our lifetimes with massive Constitutional ramifications. It's the most colossal political failure I've ever seen.
It's not just on Pelosi. This is a total system failure. No one has fought back on the Dem side. They are all just letting this corporate coup happen.
