Cornyn says $2000 checks are probably toast for this Congress “Under the circumstances I think that’s likely true” — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie and a Trump tweet https://t.co/FQIvSD1Miw — PolitiTweet.org

McConnell will not split up a bill combining the checks with an election fraud commission and a rollback of legal protections for big tech. Trump wants Congress to address those, but didn't explicitly call for them all to be rolled together — PolitiTweet.org

Burgess Everett @burgessev

McConnell attacks the House-passed bill increasing stimulus checks as having "no realistic path," likely dooming the prospects of boosting direct payments as the 116th Congress comes to an end. https://t.co/VwPEtKvuOi — PolitiTweet.org

Meanwhile on Senate floor, McConnell is attacking House Democrats' $2000 checks bill, says they want to send a "boatload of cash" to people making six-figures Says Congress needs to send "smart targeted aid. Not another firehose of money" — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie on $2000 checks: “we’ve got some momentum. I think it’s one of these things where some Republicans will come out and be public about it and others when faced with a vote will be obliged to vote the right way because they understand back home their constituents are hurting” — PolitiTweet.org

Hawley claims Pennsylvania "failed to follow their own state election laws" and says that tech companies interfered in the election for Biden. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Hawley: "I will follow the same practice Democrat members of Congress have in years past and object during the certification process on January 6 to raise these critical issues." So, it's happening — PolitiTweet.org

Schumer: “Senator McConnell knows how to make $2,000 survival checks reality and he knows how to kill them. If Sen. McConnell tries loading up the bipartisan House-passed CASH Act with unrelated, partisan provisions that will do absolutely nothing to help struggling families" — PolitiTweet.org

Burgess Everett @burgessev

Today in sum: - McConnell blocks $2,000 check efforts from Dems - Bernie blocks quick NDAA override vote - Trump says "death wish" not to do $2,000 checks. Calls for Sec. 230 repeal - McConnell noncommittal, intros bill combining 230 and $2,000 checks https://t.co/5ptYTTFXSo — PolitiTweet.org

Tomorrow the Senate will vote to get on the defense override, then McConnell will probably have to address Bernie's filibuster with a cloture vote on Friday. Final veto override could be Jan. 1 or 2. Like always, could change with a consent agreement — PolitiTweet.org

Burgess Everett @burgessev

Just to be clear, as of now NO VOTES on the $2,000 checks or the 230/checks/voter fraud are set up. Could happen quickly with consent from all 100 senators, but if not would take several days to set up those votes — PolitiTweet.org

@ContentedIndie putting it on the calendar doesn't really mean anything other than giving the option of bringing it up later. No votes are set up yet, and many times putting it on the calendar is just a pro forma action — PolitiTweet.org

Burgess Everett @burgessev

Before adjourning, McConnell introduced a bill "to increase the additional 2020 recovery rebates, to repeal section 230 of the Communications Act of 1934, and for other purposes." It's a proposal that if voted on has no chance of becoming law but might satisfy Trump. — PolitiTweet.org

Burgess Everett @burgessev

I read this Trump tweet to Sen. Cornyn. His response: "What we ought to be doing is focusing on the $900 billion that we’ve already approved ... “Focusing on this undermines the very positive impact that what we’ve already done is having" https://t.co/2COv7MZXbC — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Cornyn, who is close to McConnell and talked to him for several minutes after the Senate adjourns, suggests pairing the $2,000 with liability shield. He says he does not support the House's straight up bill — PolitiTweet.org
