House Speaker Nancy Pelosi introduced her own emergency coronavirus stimulus bill on Monday, leading furious Republicans to argue that much of the proposal contained a progressive wishlist seemingly unrelated to the crisis -- including one provision that amounts to a resurrection of the notorious "Obamaphone" program, GOP officials said.
The bill proposed by Pelosi, D-Calif., additionally seeks to eliminate debt held by the U.S. Postal Service, require same-day voter registration, pay off $10,000 in student debt per person, mandate that airlines reduce their overall carbon emissions by 50 percent by 2050, and force federal agencies to explain to Congress how they are increasing their usage of "minority banks."
And, the legislation would provide for the automatic extension of nonimmigrant visas and restrict colleges from providing information about citizenship status.
"People are dying and all Nancy Pelosi and Democrats can focus on is ripping off the American taxpayer to help pay for their liberal wish list of government handouts," National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) spokesman Michael McAdams said in a statement.

They’ve been needing a new way to scheme for federal dollars.
They are disgusting.
Well, they are showing who they are
*********************************
They have done that all along, it just seems not to matter to their voters.
Hey Democrats, just deal with the virus. Save your big government schemes for later.
I read through the first few hundred pages. Lots of billions for “Salary and Expenses”.
Then my head exploded and I ended up apologizing to my FB friends for being temporarily insane and having momentary Tourette’s .
What Pelosi’s Christmas Wish List reads like is a very vague list of line items that could could literally be used for any thing at all. Including lining the pockets of cronies and favorites. Well, let’s be honest here - ESPECIALLY for lining the pockets of cronies and favorites.
One thing I’ve learned from working in government is that these federal monies come with plenty of strings, lots of overhead, endless stall tactics. The ones who truly benefit from the largesse of the American Taxpayers are the damned politicians, and their cronies and favorites. Everybody jumps on the project with their hands out.
The people who needed it in the first place either die or move on. Very few end up with the goods.
Maybe that’s just the towns I worked for.
Tucker Carlson just pointing out what she is doing. Among other things, she is demanding that any company receiving Coronavirus funds must appoint a diversity officer with a staff, budget and requirement to ensure that the corporation meet the Left’s diversity goals. She wants same day registration on election day and many other voter fraud enabling rules. She wants those hired to solve the pandemic challenge to meet strict standards for racial, gender, and other identity politics criteria. She wants special provisions to protect foreign immigrants, including illegal immigrants above and beyond those rights provided to American citizens. I didn’t hear this part from Tucker, but I have heard that she demands special funding for Planned Parenting presumably to ensure that more babies are killed than anyone who might die of Coronusvirus.
This is what Trump and the Republicans in Congress are facing. But, you can read all about in tomorrow’s edition of the New York Times and the Washington Post /Sarc.
Nothing.
Not a fooking penny for anything.
Let it all crash and burn.
Time to start over, with ropes, guillotines, firing squads.
Pledge to support the US Constitution or off with your head.
“Pelosi is a nut.”
She is much more effective as Speaker than either John Boehner or Paul Ryan.
what happened to the 0blowme phones??? i’m still using an old tracfone that runs just fine.
The problem I have with PDJT not calling out Natzi Pelouzy and Shoe-mah is the Dem voters get their info from MSMCBSNBCCNNABC who will never let them know the evil these two are doing with the Senate bill...at least at a presser, some of these voters would be watching...and the journolists. PDJT should expose them.
Apparently, they don’t know there is a new sheriff in town.
I’m with YOU!
Pelosi and her ilk are all deeply in the financial tank to the suppliers and big time donors which they must pay back or find large wrapped fish and thorobread heads in their beds from the Godfather.
I wouldn't mind seeing them get everything they deserve.
I wrote the White House today and encouraged the President to veto the bill.
