as the midnight shutdown deadline looms!

Lawmakers also have not yet seen the text of a $1.4 trillion omnibus spending package that leaders are trying to push through to fund the government through next September.

The goal is to tie the Covid-19 relief bill to the massive omnibus package.

 With the holidays and the end of the 116th Congress rapidly approaching, lawmakers are facing intense, and growing, pressure to finalize and approve what is expected to be a $900 billion relief deal

-with $300 per week in jobless benefits,
-direct payments of $600 for individuals,
-$330 billion for small business loans,
-more than $80 billion for schools, and
-billions for vaccine distribution.
