Democrats cave: Nothing for states or cities, nothing for election protection or the post office, no oversight, no limits on fossil fuel bailouts, no food stamps. They got some testing - somehow that’s a GOP concession! - but no contact tracing.

I’ll also leave this here so others see it: I still think this is a terrible deal but some of the $25B for testing could be used for contact tracing.

Dems are so, so bad at this. They've more than earned their inevitable loss in November. Sad!
This will all be over in a couple months max. The priority should be testing health and getting the economy back up and running.
They had no bargaining position for anything else.
I wouldn’t trust Dems w/election protection - translated, means progressive wing suppression! Why would you expect resistance to oil & Gas bailouts from the party of Fracking? Food stamps to Nancy means 4 kinds of chocolate Gelato in her $24K fridge! Please...
