1. A program to help returning military . Something like a jobs program

2. No floor vote will happen on a stand-alone bill if filibuster remains intact.

GOP can block a motion to proceed to a floor vote with a threatened filibuster.

3. Damn. Well can it go through the House? Make them vote?

[Fiendish Thingy]

4. Pelosi intends to do this, but min wage will get stripped out in conference between house and senate

[applegrove]

5. Well at least we will have GOP on record voting no. That is if they show up

in the House on voting day.

[Fiendish Thingy]

6. Only in the house will GOP have to go on record re: min wage. Nt

[applegrove]

7. Yes. That is what I meant.

9. They can vote on whether to cut off debate

and go on record as supporting a filibuster of the wage hike (or not). That's still effective in an ad.

8. K&R

10. i'm starting to think it needs to be a stand alone bill.

if it's in the covid bill, it gives them cover to vote against the whole thing, and pretend all they objected to was the wage hike.
