Senate Passes COVID Relief Package
50-49. Republican Senator Sullivan from Alaska missed the vote for a family emergency:

The House must vote on the Senate version before President Biden can sign it. They will do so on Tuesday.
Even Murkowski chickened out. She is under no threat to lose her seat in a state where she even previously won as a write-in. Geez. Just when they start to show a little humanity or backbone, they fall back into the primordial ooze from which they came.
Actually, Murkowski could be in trouble. Trump has threatened/promised to go to Alaska to campaign against her:

Trump’s campaign against Tester went nowhere. When Trump gets indicted he’ll be toxic. Indictments will be flying all over the place. McConnell’s old lady could get indicted. Love to see Cruz, Hawley, that moron from GA get indicted as well.
I know the house isn’t pleased with the Super-Secret-Bipartisan-Coons-Caucus monkeying around with the eligibility (for no reason except to prove that they can compromise with themselves).
I guess they’ll fall in line though.
