When every medical provider has proper PPE, they should go on recess. When every hospital has the respirators, ventilators & medicine they need, they should go on recess. When money is in the pipeline to give every American what they need to survive this, they should go on recess

R’s are infected with the “Greedus Corruptus virus...although they normally take the month off at this time of year...annually. They are strategizing their next measures to help their largest contributors.

I'd like to point out that while Wisconsin has an election tomorrow and there is a nation-wide pandemic, the state legislature is out of session for the rest of 2020

Our representatives are on recess and our wealthy class is lobbying for a tax holiday. This pandemic looks very different from the working peoples pint of view.

I am grateful there on recess, The best thing about the partisanship in congress is they can don't get anything done. Congress is addition by subtraction.
