The fate of a $484 billion stimulus package was in the hands of the U.S. House of Representatives on Thursday, and passed during the briefing and will now head to President Trump's desk. Meanwhile, the House passed by party-line vote a resolution to set up a special committee to oversee the coronavirus response, including how federal funds are disbursed by the Trump administration.
The U.S. death toll surpassed 47,000 and confirmed cases topped 850,000.

The Senate approved the stimulus package Tuesday and the House vote is scheduled for today. President Donald Trump has signaled he will sign it. A majority of the Paycheck Protection Program would direct more than $320 billion to small businesses with $60 billion being set aside for community-based lenders, smaller banks and credit unions to assist businesses that don't have established relationships with banks.

The rabid raccoon. We started with locking up children and babies, and ended up encouraging people to take a deadly drug. The McConnell wants “blue states” to declare themselves bankrupt. But of course “We’ll consider it.”

@Destructive Criticism Obvious troll is obvious.
Thank you Mr president for being a right wing conspiracy theorist nut bag. Fake witch hunt hoax is actually real in his mind. Impeachment hoax is real in his mind.
It’s hard to tell if he is only unbelievably stupid or if he should be on meds. He definitely does need a shrink.
Blind leading the blind, or dumb leading the dumber? No other possible explanation? Or maybe we’ve all got it wrong, and that lies are truth and truths are lies ? I’m off to see the Wizard.
@Michael Awford may or June first it’s coming the truth and it’s going to be biblical the whole fucken disease temples going to fall on their heads and yours if you’re in the way laugh now but later when your feeling stupid as u are at this moment you’ll wish you’d listen peolpe like u shouldn’t be part of new future America that’s coming u have no faith only faith in what u can see that’s what makes u a fool

Please, nobody ingest any of those chemicals in to your body, Bleach or the other one, Isopropyl Alcohol. If you must know, that’s basically what that Malaria drug does. However, those type of drugs are still in Clinical-trial and shouldn’t be taken without a doctor’s recommendation or oversight. — -Those type of chemicals are Heavy-duty and Toxic for the body, Please do not take. And also continue to follow the CDC guidelines, because your hands are porous, hard surfaces are not, like metals, clothes are porous, etc.
And testing isn’t about testing everybody in the country, it’s about continuous testing for decision making, and preparations. And always save the Data. Data is decision making.
God, I hope we have a change of luck.
And a change of President…
He keeps saying that we are doing great on testing yet i have been running a fever and showing all the symptoms for a week now and unless i’m on death doorstep my doctor can’t even get me tested.
Try my method u will be cure trust me i know! after u finish drinking hot herbs in 20minutes drink a shake pineapple juice u will be ok mark my words..
Bullshit. My small town of 7,000 people has 2 free government ran testing sites.
Probably cuz u DON’T HAVE IT
Kills me how that other guy tries really hard to get away from the lecture and they keep calling him back . He sweating it hard knowing that any answer giving could be his last lol poor fellow
How are you Bro
USA Today edited the video so you can’t read the chart
the chart was talking about how surfaces can be cleaned..
@NoFakesHere
For Trump supporters, cleaning is a secret and mysterious thing. Of course they would complain about not seeing a chart which contains information that most 6-year-olds from good families already know.
@rabid rabbitshuggers my 7 year old niece even knows injecting IPA or bleach could seriously damage or even kill you if ingested let alone injected
Hello, how are you?
We already know what happens when the body is hit with a tremendous electromagnetic light: Radiation poisoning and it guarantees a painful death. It’s the same with the administration of substances that kill viruses: it’s called poisoning.
Like 5g?
@ronald graham LOOOOOL
Sounds like we’re ready to move forward. Wonderful!
ummmm it serves best in saliva in closed indoors…. and it serves best in saliva? WTF man get your s%^t and facts straight
The Ultraviolet blood irradiation (UBI) and it’s known for years. There’re others with exposure to high oxygen, etc. Probably he was talking about something like this. But it’s CNN and other media who linked the treatment to “cleaning supplies,” potentially endangering people’s life.
The cleaning supplies link wasn’t related to the ultraviolet comment, it was related to HIM saying that INJECTING DISINFECTANT could be a good idea.
And you people who believe that it came from China? Be careful no one sells you a bridge.
Truly people are phukin dumb
….everyone agrees it came from china
*Sunlight UV = Vitamin D3*
*Disinfectant = Iodine mineral*
