Joy Reid tweet on McConnell's comment that House Bill sent last night regarding virus was "off base"
Joy Reid@JoyAnnReid·6h
The bill he calls "off base" contains:
- free testing for everyone
- paid emergency medical leave
- extended unemployment insurance for those who will lose their jobs
- food assistance
- help for health care workers
It does lack $ for big business, hotel magnates & shale oil.

Leader McConnell@senatemajldr
Unfortunately, Speaker Pelosi’s first draft from late last night was off-base. It does not focus immediate relief on affected Americans. It proposes new bureaucracy that would only delay assistance. It wanders into policy areas that are not related to the pressing issues at hand.
