The Omnibus/Covid Relief Bill passed 92-6. The threshold for an override is 2/3 of those voting. — PolitiTweet.org

If Trump vetos the Omnibus/Covid Relief package and the National Defense Authorization Act, I feel reasonably confident that Congress will override him twice. — PolitiTweet.org

@Cookinginthe312 I agree that it is inadequate. For me, I think of an unemployed person in Hawaii, who will now get -around 3500 per month (depending on previous income) and rent and food assistance and then the 600 bucks. I pushed for more, but to me the expanded UI is massively underrated. — PolitiTweet.org

@Zach_Jeckell All foreign aid is in this bill. All military spending is in this bill. All transportation spending is in the bill. And so on. — PolitiTweet.org

Brian Schatz @brianschatz

Lots of legit reasons to criticize this bill and the process, but FYI Covid relief was combined with overall government spending bill, so the reason there’s non Covid stuff is because we combined relief bill w the bill to keep government open. (Might delete if my mentions go bad) — PolitiTweet.org

Yes, Paris, is not enough, but re-engagement on this global issue on the global stage with a national security team that understands that climate and geopolitics, trade, military strategy, are all interwoven. Former SOS Kerry as Envoy lends credibility to these efforts.3/3 — PolitiTweet.org

Brian Schatz @brianschatz

The Biden economic team is also a climate team, which even for a democratic administration, is a new thing. The understanding that the risks of climate inaction and the opportunities in climate action are core economic questions is a new and essential development. 2/3 — PolitiTweet.org

GOOD CLIMATE NEWS!! Shockingly, almost unbelievably big climate wins in this bill 1) HFCs phase down to save .5 degrees of warming (2) extends tax credits for wind, solar, efficiency, and offshore wind (3) authorizes $35B in R&D which will advance new tech to market. 1/3 — PolitiTweet.org

Brian Schatz @brianschatz

A part of this bill phases out the use of HFC’s. Estimates are that this can reduce global warming by half a degree Celsius, making it a victory for climate action. Thanks to @SenatorCarper and @SenWhitehouse and @MartinHeinrich and a bunch of others. Huge achievement. — PolitiTweet.org

Happy to include my bill restoring Pell Grant eligibility for incarcerated individuals in the package that we vote on tomorrow. Allowing prisoners to get education is a proven strategy to reduce recidivism and give people a chance at a better life when they are free. — PolitiTweet.org
