The House of Representatives on Friday evening passed a $3 trillion coronavirus relief bill, the most expensive legislation approved by that body in history, that Democrats hailed as the unprecedented response needed to deal with the pandemic and its economic fallout.
The record-breaking bill narrowly passed by a 208-199 vote. Fourteen Democrats defied their party and voted "no," while one Republican, Rep. Pete King of New York, broke with the GOP and voted yes.
Im thrilled," House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said after the bill's passage. "I'm so proud of my members. They just did something so monumental for the American people -- for their health, for their lives, for their livelihood, and for our democracy. We couldnt be more thrilled."

DOA in the Senate.
You have to pass it to see what’s in it.
It’s time to start piss testing Pelosi everyday before she goes to her office. She’s nuts.
Free ice cream for everyone!
Have the others? I really haven’t been track8ng.
LOL...defiance definitely isn't what's going on here. The votes were counted and these people were "allowed" to dissent for appearance only based on their district's. Nothing more, and the Republicans are just as guilty of this theatre.
From the way Nasty P giggles when talking about $3 Trillion, this is all just a game.
Passage in the House is only the first step in a series of three, and there are strong headwinds on both the next two steps....
How are the provisions of this Christmas Tree bill going to be funded, or shall they EVER be funded?
The Cloward-Piven strategy taken to its extreme, avarice beyond their wildest dreams of only a few years ago. Then, the strategy was bringing down cities, now they are after the entire nation.
This time democrats voted against it, uh oh, pelousi! uh oh
Its the playbook in original form!
“May we assume, if it makes it to Trumps desk, that he will veto this democrat wet dream?”
With the pork they’ve got in it like millions to the arts that has nothing to do with c-19, again, the senate already said it’s DOA. There will be no stimulus bill as this is not one to begin with. And factually, there doesn’t need to be one if the governors would back off their imprisonment before they TU the whole country’s financial capacity to regroup.

Hey you worthless POS, they aren't your members, they are the people's members. Where is the Corona virus when you really need it?
Fourteen Democrats who are in very at risk seats where allowed to defy their party and vote no,
There. fixed it.
Pelosi is an idiot. $3 trillion in Democratic wet dream spending, and if she only would put in $2 billion for a border wall,Trump would sign it in a heartbeat.
Exactly. Its a game that the Dems play. Hopefully voters in their districts wont fall for this scam. These Dems will vote with the party if their vote were needed.
A pox on him.
So is anyone talking about the blackmail that is going on??
DOA in the Senate.
Another fiscally irresponsible RINO outs himself feeding at the public trough with the Rats.
Yes, three trillion dollars more in debt is “monumental”, very “monumental” - a monument to stupidity.
