Second Stimulus Check: It's August 21 and Americans Are Fuming Over Senate Still Being on Recess
Nearly five months have passed since President Donald Trump signed the CARES Act into law, and the [...]
Our Senate is on vacation after our country's $600/week unemployment boost expired and they were unable to extend it or pass at the very minimum a second stimulus check despite agreement on stimulus checks. Meanwhile, Germany is going to extend their monthly payments to 2 years. https://t.co/oHrZis8yNP

prevnextYou might want to get the Senate back to DC and hammer out a deal with the Dems on the usps, stimulus checks, unemployment benefits and all the other issues Dems have in the hero’s act.

@senatemajldr The way you and the senate are handling this Corona virus stimulus is appalling.

Making cuts again. Is just dragging this out. The American people are hurting and this is a joke. I'm sure you feel it soon. Your legacy
prevnextTbh if the stimulus package deal was about wages for the senate instead they would’ve reached a conclusion awhile ago, but nah it’s about the American people not being able to pay for basic necessities so they can wait...

So did Senate and Congress just think if they left for vacation w/o any resolution to the next stimulus package, & expanded UE benefits, that those 15 million unemployed Americans would just magically forgot they’d be evicted and starve w/o the additional help from stimulus?

Senate bills passed to help people: 0

Dont even count on another stimulus check. It aint coming. The senate just prefers $300 unemployment assistance and a paycheck protection program.

prevnextAmusing how nobody is mentioning that, in the middle of a pandemic and ever surging unemployment numbers, senate packed it up, went on vacation, and agreed to figure it out after.
They abandoned us for what is essentially their summer break.

Where is Mitch McConnell? Why aren't there protests in front of his house daily until he calls the Senate back to pass a stimulus bill?

prevnext.@SpeakerPelosi said last night that the House will be moving to a @USPS bill without provisions for entitlements, dashing hopes of more pandemic relief/stimulus negotiations in the short term. @senatemajldr will not call the Senate back in early for postal service relief only.

Every time I remember the Senate adjourned until September for a vacation and left people at risk for eviction, I get mad and go to bed.

prevnextAnd #MoscowMitchMcConnell hit "pause" on taking action and sent his Senate on vacation for a month. https://t.co/cPLPZhGdjt

And the senate is on August recess. Disgusting. https://t.co/D3yhZ3mk3G

prevWhile Mitch McConnell and his caucus are on day seven of their month-long vacation, more than 1 million Americans filed new unemployment claims last week — and millions more are facing the difficulty of providing for their families.
In November, voters won’t forget.
