Biden s stimulus plan is popular. The GOP needs to accept that.
It s not 2009. Trying to stand in the way of the $1.9 trillion package is a mistake.

There may be no creature on this planet more stubborn than a Republican member of Congress. President Joe Biden s Covid-19 stimulus package is chugging along, with Democrats in the both the House and the Senate committed to its passage. And yet as a whole, the GOP caucus is still digging in its heels. But its reluctance reflects a partisan commitment to obstruction, not what Americans want.

Rep. Scalise Releases Timeline of Cuomo’s Nursing Home Death Toll ‘Cover-Up’
House Minority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.) on Thursday ramped up his criticism of New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s handling of the nursing home COVID-19 deaths, alleging Cuomo “lied about the death toll” and releasing a timeline of the alleged cover-up.
“The facts are simple: Governor Cuomo issued an order sending thousands of contagious COVID-19 positive patients into nursing homes and then he lied about the death toll,” Scalise said in a statement.
The COVID-related nursing home deaths have been a flashpoint for criticism against Cuomo, who faced public outcry over a controversial March 25, 2020, directive subsequently reversed in May, 2020 essentially prohibiting nursing home operators from refusing to accept residents even if they tested positive for COVID-19.
