She also criticizes Sanders “Holding up the vital defense authorization bill is a big mistake. I think these are two separate issues just as Section 230...is a completely different issue” — PolitiTweet.org

“I am concerned that the way it is structured it would also benefit upper income individuals because it does not phase out as quickly as the $600 check.” “The income level at which you would get nothing is more than $300,000 and in a state like mine that’s high income” — PolitiTweet.org

Full story after McConnell stymies Democrats’ long-shot bid to immediately increase direct stimulus payments to $2,000, leaving the fate of bigger checks in limbo as this Congress comes to a close at the end of the week. https://t.co/5ptYTTFXSo — PolitiTweet.org

Phew, the Senate's back to its normal state of an empty quorum call — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Murphy says adding Sec. 230 to the $2,000 checks "is an invitation for this entire effort to fall apart" "That is just another way of telling the American people that this body doesn't support ... $2,000 payments" — PolitiTweet.org

"It is hard to get two-thirds of the House of Representatives to agree on what time it is," Sen. Murphy says of big vote for $2,000 checks yesterday — PolitiTweet.org

Burgess Everett @burgessev

Bernie asks if McConnell will modify his plans, and add the $2,000 checks vote to follow the NDAA override vote tomorrow. McConnell objects to that too And Sanders objects to holding NDAA standalone tomorrow — PolitiTweet.org

Burgess Everett @burgessev

Bernie Sanders enters the picture. Has vowed to delay NDAA without an agreement on at least voting on $2,000 checks. — PolitiTweet.org

Schumer asks McConnell to pass the $2,000 check bill passed by House. McConnell objects — PolitiTweet.org

Schumer says McConnell should just have votes on NDAA and $2,000 checks — PolitiTweet.org

Burgess Everett @burgessev

McConnell says the Senate will "begin a process" to vote on $2,000 checks, Sect. 230 and election fraud — PolitiTweet.org

Burgess Everett @burgessev

McConnell says the NDAA veto override will happen tomorrow -- this suggests there is consent to set up that vote. — PolitiTweet.org

Burgess Everett @burgessev

@elwasson asked if she'd vote for $2,000 today if it was on floor: "It depends on what’s on the floor. " I asked if she would want it rolled together with Sec. 230/fraud investigation: "I don’t like everything rolled in together. I think you end up with bad policy." — PolitiTweet.org

Burgess Everett @burgessev

!!! Sen. Fischer sounds open to $2,000 direct payments “People are hurting and I think we need to give them more aid. I’m upset it’s not targeted, I’m upset the process is always throwing everything in together.” — PolitiTweet.org

“McConnell and the Senate want to expedite the [defense] override vote and I understand that. But I’m not going to allow that to happen unless there is a vote, no matter how long that takes, on the $2,000 direct payment,” Bernie said tonight in interview — PolitiTweet.org

Burgess Everett @burgessev

Source close to Sanders says he had Georgia runoffs on his mind. This will keep Senate and Loeffler/Perdue in D.C. during holiday week and focus campaigns around $2,000 checks that Warnock/Ossoff are pushing for — PolitiTweet.org

Burgess Everett @burgessev

Bernie will filibuster any attempt from McConnell tomorrow to schedule veto override unless Senate votes on $2,000 checks. Could push override to New Year's Day “The American people are desperate, and the Senate has got to do its job before leaving town" https://t.co/Ada6L88FpH — PolitiTweet.org

Just a few days ago Ron Johnson blocked $1,200 checks. I think it’s fair to assume $2,000 isn’t going to get unanimous support in the Senate — PolitiTweet.org

Burgess Everett @burgessev

Trump decided not to leave office in maelstrom of expired benefits and government shutdown. But it took a lot of convincing: McCarthy, Graham and Perdue among those who helped convince Trump to sign https://t.co/R0e316HJnZ @MZanona @marianne_levine @sarahnferris — PolitiTweet.org
