Among the most controversial provisions were related to foreign aid and railed against by people ranging from conservative members of Congress to left-leaning journalists. "It throws billions at foreign aid, including gender programs in Pakistan to the tune of $10 million," Rep.

Chip Roy, R-Texas, said in a scathing statement. Intercept co-founder Glenn Greenwald, meanwhile, objected to $500 million that was allocated for joint programs between the U.S.

McConnell says 'no realistic path' for $2G stimulus checks, accuses Dems of 'trying to pull a fast one'
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said top Democrats Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer of "trying to pull a fast one," warning in a floor speech Wednesday that there was "no realistic path" to quickly approve larger stimulus checks for Americans contending with the coronavirus pandemic. McConnell accused Pelosi and Schumer of attempting to "warp" President Trump’s call for $2,000 direct payments to Americans.The majority leader said the Senate would not separate a vote on $2,000 stimulus checks from a bill backed by GOP leaders that includes the establishment of a commission to investigate election fraud and a repeal of Section 230, the measure which protects social media platforms from liability over third-party posts.

130 House Republicans, 2 Democrats vote against $2,000 stimulus checks
The bill to increase stimulus checks to $2,000 from the $600 that was approved before Christmas in the coronavirus stimulus package passed the House Tuesday by a narrow margin, getting 275 votes in favor of the boost when the bill needed 272 "yeas" to pass.  The legislation was brought as a "suspension" measure, meaning the House needed two-thirds of members present to vote in favor to move the bill forward.The House narrowly cleared that hurdle, with 130 Republicans, two Democrats and both of the House's independents voting against the measure.  "Today, I voted against the $435B CASH Act because we cannot continue to endlessly dig our national debt hole deeper," Rep.

The House of Representatives on Monday will vote on a bill to send $2,000 stimulus checks to Americans in lieu of the $600 checks included in the coronavirus stimulus and government funding package President Trump signed Sunday night.  The vote will come after Trump for the better part of a week railed against the size of the checks and the amount of foreign aid included in the massive combination of two legislative accords that lawmakers sent to his desk. The Monday vote won't address the "pork" that Trump has said he wishes to cut -- despite the fact he requested much of it in his budget.
