Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Tuesday announced that the House will remain in session until the parties have an agreement on another round of emergency coronavirus relief.

In a conference call with the House Democratic Caucus — the first since the chamber returned from a long summer recess — Pelosi indicated she isn't willing to accept a "skinny" legislative package, but told her troops the chamber's calendar will be extended until an agreement is sealed, according to sources on the call.

“We have to stay here until we have a bill,” Pelosi told lawmakers.

The surprise development reflects both the severity of the public health and economic crises caused by the coronavirus pandemic and the growing pressure Pelosi is facing from the moderate wing of her party, which is clamoring for leadership to vote on another aid package before Congress leaves town again for the elections.

I am not really for another bill, but one is gonna happen if I like it or not. With that said, I am glad she is making all her peers stay until something is done.

Interesting.

Now I assume that she's going to push some pork filled package through so she can blame the Republicans when it doesn't get through the Senate, but its interesting that they are working on something.

I think the only reason she’s really doing it because the optics are so bad for not getting it done

Hopefully they get it resolved soon so Pelosi can keep her hair washing appointment.

It’s not going to pass. She is hoping to blame the stalemate on the Senate when in fact her version of the bill is laughable. It’s political theatre.

Just open the goddamn country back up.

frick all these increased spending measures.

It’s like cutting yourself and then bandaging it. And then cutting yourself again and then bandaging again and then declaring you’ll make sure you have enough bandages. Just stop cutting yourself

I'm guessing Democrats keeping money from people because Nancy wants a rocket ship or some shite isn't polling well?

Republican Governors need to open things back up and it put all of the pressure on democrats to pass a bill .

The UE booster is done. Pelosi is appeasing her fake moderates that Bloomie bought. But you can bet the farm she will stick in bail out for her failed dem cities and some money for the fake ballots.

Trump said there is billions waiting unspent for a stimulus. Trump just wants a stimulus and some PPP.

Pretty much this. She's putting it out there like she's working hard for the people, it doesn't get passed and she'll give the double bird and get her hair did somewhere else.

Yes, lets spend more instead of not spending and letting people go back to work.

Her caucus won’t like that when they miss the chance to campaign because she refuses to budge on what she demands from the Senate.

Republicans screwed up last week by preenting a bill without the $1200 stimulus check. Now Pelosi can do a simple bill including a stimulus check and Dems look like heros right before the election. My guess is the bill they present will have very little pork in it because the Republicans gave Dems a win and they didnt even have to fight for it.
