1. Surprised!

I didn't think they'd get the 2/3rds.
Didn't get it by much, but they got it!

3. 21 chicken republicans abstained

But caused us to win.

10. Because Of Course They Did

I can see my rep being one of them. An R, but vocal critic of the fraud.
Fiscal responsibility (blah, blah) probably made him want to vote no, but he was unlikely to let the trump enablers win.
He's in public conflict with a few Rs in the House.
If nothing else, he's pretty tough and he wasn't going to be pressured into a no.
Just speculation. I couldn't find an actual roll call of the vote.

11. Do they show who voted?

I live in conservative district only one in Oregon. I bet he voted no, he is retiring so wouldn't care.

17. In Another Thread...

...someone posted they didn't post it yet.

14. Do you know if Perdue and Loefler vote for or against?

[davsand]

15. Probably not since this was in the House and they are Senators. N/T

18. Sorry. I'm getting ahead of myself. The Senate vote is tomorrow.

[Chainfire]

2. I have got to buy me some popcorn and a superslurper for watching the show the Senate will have

to produce. Nancy has shoved the issue right Mc's harry ass!

Hey McConnell, where the hell is my money?

[gratuitous]

4. Kurt Schrader, the submarine screen door, voted no

Unfortunately, his district is competitive enough that keeping even a lousy Democrat like Schrader in office is preferable to whatever candidate the Fifth District Republicans might urp up. I'd like to see Fifth District Democrats do better, though.

9. This is the easiest vote you can ever

take. Everyone wants the money. It's a no-brainer.

[joshcryer]

5. By 2/3rd majority. It was BIPARTISAN.

[malaise]

6. Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

Nancy's got those boots on MoscowMotch's neck

[mr_lebowski]

7. Okay, so who wants to stand in front of Trump and Mitch and bust out the tape measure?

Yeah, me neither ...

[fierywoman]

8. Are the 134 who voted against it the same who want to overthrow the election?

[EndlessWire]

12. And, they are voting tomorrow?

Anyone know when the original $600 might be sent? I don't mind getting two checks. Just saying...

[gab13by13]

16. They plan to vote tomorrow on the military spending bill

not the 2,000 dollars. This is where Bernie comes in to object to a vote on the military bill without voting on the 2,000 dollars.

[EndlessWire]

19. TY! n/t

[brush]

13. Woohoo! Madame Speaker didn't waste anytime flipping this right into...

McTurtle's lap. How he's got to get it passed or risk losing the Georgia run-offs in 8 days, where the repugnant republican candidates have both vigorously pushed for the $600 checks instead of the $2000 checks.

Go, Nancy.
