Just spent hours sifting through this 5000 page bill. The Squad voted against some provisions in the senate amendment (Roll 250), but voted yes on the final bill (Roll 251) and okayed the $600 check. Only Tulsi @TulsiGabbard and Rashida @RashidaTlaib didn't.
There were several roll calls. People are getting confused because of the name of the legislation.
The H.R 133 Bill is the United States-Mexico Economic Partnership Act - This was a shell bill initially passed by the Senate on Jan 15, 2020
(Bill: congress.gov/bill/116th-con…)

The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 is a senate amendment to the original H.R 133, containing upwards of 5000+ pages which includes the Covid Relief funds just voted on (Full PDF of the amendment: rules.house.gov/sites/democrat…)
AOC, Omar, Khanna, Jayapal, Gabbard, Presley, Tlaib voted AGAINST the H.R 133 amendment containing Divisions B, C, E, and F in house roll vote 250, however that bill got majority and passed (Role vote 250: clerk.house.gov/Votes/2020250)
But in the end every House Democrat, except @TulsiGabbard and @RashidaTlaib voted FOR the HR 133 Amendment excl. divisions B, C, E, and F. This includes the $600 stimulus relief checks in division N, amongst many other things (Role Vote 251)
