    Pelosi has a tremendous amount of power in the current moment -- due not just to House majority but also to abdication of GOP from policy making. She's using it wisely -- and should continue pushing as far as she can.https://twitter.com/joshHuder/status/1238843497551204352 …

    The WH delayed a vote on an emergency package for two days to limit the length and scope of the House’s bill. The Senate remains MIA. Pelosi and House Democrats basically dictated the government’s coronavirus response. https://twitter.com/MEPFuller/status/1238683424195559425 …

        Pelosi said workers will now get sick leave. Pence said, “If you are sick, stay home. You’re not going to miss a pay check.” But that’s not true. That’s what this legislation should do, but that’s not what it actually does. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/14/opinion/coronavirus-pelosi-sick-leave.html …

        Minus the part where the bill doesn't live up to the hype by a long shot.

        Yeah, I may have been wrong about this. I've been unable to find the upper limit of 500 in the text.

        The bill was seriously watered down under White House pressure to keep it from getting vetoed (and it could still be mangled by the Senate). It's worth noting that Pelosi does not have dictatorial power and the inadequacies of this response aren't down to her.

        If that sick leave bill is right Pelosi should be fired. 20% coverage for paid sick leave in this moment is dereliction of duty. I could swallow some exemptions here or there. She opted for paid leave here or there.

        and 80% of employees still will not get paid sick leave. She could pass the bill as-is on partisan lines and make them answer for that, but she chose not to.
