What Klobuchar said is an attack on every American is Trump’s suggestion he might veto the relief bill. Just endless bad faith commentary about this process from left-wing commentators who prefer Trump over mainstream Democrats.

People are waiting on all sorts of provisions that are in this package. Unemployment benefits are about to expire. The idea this is a productive opportunity to reopen the package negotiations is nuts. We have seen Trump float things like this before, it is not a real negotiation.
What Pelosi is doing is a clever political tactic. And I’m sure she’d be glad to send up a bill to increase the size of the checks. But it doesn’t mean Pelosi wants or is asking for a veto, let alone that she’d want to sustain it, and that is all completely obvious.
The cost of all the ridiculous down-talk of this bill — which is a stimulus of 4 percent of GDP and provides thousands of dollars of added benefits to unemployed workers — is people acting like all that’s at stake here is the $600 checks. That’s only about 1/6 of the bill.
