1) Two conference calls for House Democrats and top aides today. Some information cobbled together from various sources.
2) There is no timetable among House Democrats for a CARES 2 bill. But Fox is told they are getting closer.
3) Fox is told aides were told that of the $310 billion just approved for the PPP, 56 percent is already exhausted. Fox is told the fund could burn through all cash by the end of this week or early next. So far, the Trump Administration hasn’t asked for more money.
4) he Democratic leadership is continuing to emphasize telework at least through June 30.
5) There is a lot of concern as to how offices on Capitol Hill will reconfigure, considering that so many aides are wedged into tiny spaces. That just won’t work. Fox is told it will take weeks to implement new office configurations.
6) They will need to install Plexiglas between desks and public spaces. But they don’t know how this will work and what offices will have to do. That’s why everyone is going to be teleworking at least through early summer.
7) There is no overall determination on when the House may come back. It will not be this week. But it could be next week.
