Last wk there was reporting that the House would return to DC this wk-DC chatter didn't support it & as of today there's no word from Pelosi that it'll happen
Dems are working remotely on the next Stim pkg, but WH won't talk to them at all bc Trump's mad at them
#SundayThoughts
2-Trump talking points on the Sunday Shows today were clear: He wants to wait & see how the 'current spending takes' & how the reopening goes, while at the same time they're all trying to get ahead of next mos UE #s, which'll be very bad
3-Meanwhile, there's reporting that the WH are planning two 'large' but as yet non-specific events to demonstrate that they're 'ready to deal with Covid in the fall' & Trump's going to PA this wk
4-Everything I'm seeing indicates that there is NO plan, that chaos continues to rule at the WH & that Trump is mad, only wants to talk about Barr/Flynn, desperately wants to change the convo
We're headed for a large Covid spike with States reopening-but Trump won't plan for it
5-States are going broke, many can't support their Unemployment programs any longer & rather than pass immediate legislation to help them, Feds are forcing them to take loans from DC to get by..
6-This seems (once again) to be all @ Trump's denial & magical thinking @ Covid & his massive & angry obsession with reelection
I think it's going to backfire on the WH
BADLY
Right now, we just have to wait, hang tough (which seems impossible)
And, if you can, please #StayHome
7-And here's how Trump's history indicates that he really thinks he doesn't need an actual plan for reopening the Country:

The Senate are said to be 'looking to pump the brakes on the next Relief Bill' bc McConnell is busy with his Judges..word is they could be pushed into earlier action if the PPP goes down again, which it likely will later this week.
#MondayMorning
Congress has two critical hearings this week:
Tuesday-Senate HELP Comm: Fauci, Hahn, Redfield & Adm Giroir will testify via remote video, Lamar Alexander will also Chair remotely since he's in self-quarantine for exposure to a positive Staffer.
House hearing Thursday will be Dr Rick Bright-the HHS Physician who filed a WBC accusing them of cronyism, politicizing Covid response & retaliatory firing
Hearing is before House Energy & Commerce at 10AM-no other info yet

Pelosi said that the House will not formally return to DC until they've reached remote consensus on the next Relief Bill, which they're expected to release as soon as tonight-the last 2 bills were done by Dem ldrshp-this time, the rank & file MoC want some say #MondayMotivation
2-So it may take longer, more like next wk. The bill will have State/local $, an extension of unemployment insurance & SNAP, & Postal Service $. There's push for a fed program to pay the salaries of middle-class workers vs direct payments-which ldrshp prefers
3-Pelosi is also said to plan to muscle through a measure to institute proxy voting whenever the chamber officially returns to D.C.
Much of this is in flux, all is subject to change, there'll be a LOT of negotiation fireworks this week.

2-"The news over the last 24 hours I think has been somewhat downplayed about the Justice Department dropping charges against Michael Flynn,’ Obama said in a web talk with members of the Obama Alumni Association.
3-“And the fact that there is no precedent that anybody can find for someone who has been charged with perjury just getting off scot-free. That’s the kind of stuff where you begin to get worried that basic-not just institutional norms-but our basic understanding of rule of law
