Took a picture of Senator Leahy taking pictures...bc why not? Image
On a more serious note, just spoke to another Senator (Not Leahy) on background—they still believe a vote will happen in the Senate today, despite new objections to some language in the #coronavirus aid pkg from Republicans Graham, Scott, Sasse Image
“Senate needs to act. They need to act now.” -@GOPLeader Kevin McCarthy #coronavirus #coronavirusUpdate Image
McCarthy supports changes that Senate Republicans want -amending parts of the bill that allow ppl to make more money on unemployment during #coronavirus crisis than if they keep their jobs/receive aid checks #coronavirusreliefpackage Image
Side note: As Capitol reporters, we know there have been cases of #Coronavirus reported from this building. We’re still social distancing, we’re here in small numbers. Still being cautious, doing what we all believe is important work. Image
Looks like the Republican amendment to #coronavirus Aid Package addressing unemployment payments is gonna fail along party lines. #CoronavirusReliefBill Image
The #coronavirus relief package is going to pass overwhelmingly folks. 95 to nada right now, votes still open. Interested to see how this will impact the markets tomorrow. #NexstarDC Image
BREAKING: #coronavirus relief package passes the Senate unanimously 96-0 Image

Dem. Congresswoman @ElissaSlotkin tells me many members not happy with the Dem #stimulus bill today, because it's dead on arrival in the Senate.

10 Democrat Senators signed this letter addressed to Sen. Lindsey Graham calling on him to state unequivocally that he will not consider any nominee to fill Justice Ginsburg's seat #RBG #RuthBaderGinsburg @NewsNationNow ImageImage
The letter quotes Graham directly from 2016

1) “If there is a Republican President in 2016 and a vacancy occurs in the last year of the first term, you can say ‘Lindsey Graham said let us let the next President, whoever it might be, make that nomination.’
2) And you could use my words against me, and you would be absolutely right.”

From President Trump's memo on defunding cities w/ social unrest "...it is imperative that the Federal Government review the use of Federal funds by jurisdictions that permit anarchy, violence, and destruction." @NewsNationNow #NexstarDC Image
"Yes, the President is serious about this."-Press Sec. Kayleigh McEnany got a few questions on this, mostly when pressed that the move is unconstitutional. POTUS does not have the authority to unilaterally withhold funds appropriated by Congress. #NexstarDC @NewsNationNow Image
McEnany broke down what this White House memo tries to accomplish in 3 parts...The legal experts & members of congress we've spoken to today say this is unconstitutional and will almost immediately be met by legal challenges. #NexstarDC @NewsNationNow
