None of that seemed to bug Congress, though. @SpeakerPelosi kept us home for months. There were problems in the CARES Act that needed addressing, there were other pressing issues facing our nation, but we stayed home, watching our communities crumble from our living rooms.

Around the same time, it became clear that the mechanism -- PPP loan program -- we used in CARES to provide relief for small businesses was flawed. I wrote to @stevenmnuchin1 on April 16 requesting some Treasury guidance fixing those problems. None came. https://roy.house.gov/sites/roy.house.gov/files/wysiwyg_uploaded/Ltr%20to%20Treasury%20re%20PPP%20fixes.pdf …

As a result of those flaws and no leadership on economic restart, we learned this week that a staggering 36.5 million Americans have filed for unemployment in the past two months. More businesses are closing. More families can't put food on the table. The speaker's response?

First, a bill to allow proxy voting and (AFTER THAT) ... a $3 trillion package stuffed with progressive policies (limitless illegal work, payments to illegal immigrants, permanent federalization of elections) that will assuredly fail. She's wasting everyone's time.
