Objection. Mr. Mcconnell mr. President , anyone whos heard me speak about coronavirus relief, going back months has heard one central principle lets deliver right away on all the subjects where everybody agrees and argue over the rest later. The solution to this impasse has been in plain sight for a long time now for anyone willing to see it. Agree where we agree. Back that progress. Make law.

In the morning to a line of cars waiting at the site. And that line sometimes gets so long, police have to direct traffic around it. Literally, they lined up at 3 00 a. M. The food pantry doesnt even open until 7 00 or 8 00 in the morning, but they remember there at 3 but they were there at 3 00 a. M.
