#DearNancyPelosi, Do you find it hypocritical to call out poison pills in the Senate bill (which there are none - it was a very bipartisan process) when just 2 weeks ago, we had to wait 48+ hours to vote bc you littered the legislation with poison pills that had to be removed?

#DearNancyPelosi, Why did you tank a bipartisan stimulus package that could have passed the House & been signed by @realdonaldtrump ASAP? Was it the direct cash to suffering Americans or the much-needed aid to medical workers on the frontlines of #Covid19 that put you off?
