Senate Republicans say they have 'reached a fundamental agreement' with White House negotiators on how to move forward with a coronavirus relief bill, breaking an intraparty logjam that has stalled negotiations for weeks.

“I think it’s helpful to get down to what we were really talking about — a sense of the preeminent federal responsibility would be on the testing front and more clearly defining,” Blunt told reporters. “I think the real focus of the federal responsibility for testing would be primarily focused on senior facilities, on schools, and on child care centers with other testing assistance.

McConnell on Tuesday indicated that Republicans are preparing to send $105 billion so that schools can “safely reopen” — $5 billion greater than what was originally proposed by Democrats. Democrats, however, are now calling for more than $400 billion in school funding.

This is the first I heard of it. See you people never provide us with REAL news anymore, just Covid hand wringing and race bait. Corporate media is DEFUNCT and BROKEN.

Republicans have decided to fund Test Kits for schools, senior citizen homes and daycare but Not The American Public for $25B.

This has made it clear that Republicans do not care about the American people at all. Just their own political careers and helping their rich friends.

Get rid of the $600 weekly bonus

Did they have to show trump they can also say person woman man camera tv? SenCoryGardner is this how you profess your love to trump?

Differing opinions within a party are healthy. Handing your party over to radical extremists who hate our republic, as democrats have done, is unhealthy.

Senate republicans need to be voted out. They have allowed a potential dictator to assume power and he suffers from dementia

I wonder how much welfare the rich will get this time?

It's all just a bunch of bad news at this point.

So you assholes are carrying water for the Heritage Foundation now? Blaming high unemployment on the UI bonus?

That photo adds NOTHING to the story.

You need to let people know that he's asking for a payroll tax cut not to help Americans (most aren't working away) but it's the main way that social security is funded. He's trying to bankrupt social security

So they're finally found out which corporations to bail out first

I’ve been working for 55 years and this is the first time I’ve collected unemployment. I would love to go back to work but my company may be out until the end of the year. It would be nice to get continued help but I don’t expect the Republicans to do anything constructive.

I want to see the full bill, so I can read where we are getting fucked.

With a Viruseconomy, whats a greenback to do?

And it’s dead on arrival in the House.

They are not going to go further without the democrat vote!! So their negotiation hasn’t reach a final agreement.

Our government sucks!! Took them this long to realize how shitty it’s for normal people out here.

Can't believe these leaders take vacations during this do you're fucking jobs and fix shit both parties.

The House already passed a bill. All the senate has to do is pick of up.

They act like it's easy now that they have to get it by the House...

but still
