Senate Still Needs to Pass Heroes Act Four months after the House passage of the Heroes Act (H.R. 6800) on May 15, the Senate has still not come anywhere close to proving the aid that is needed to fully respond to the pandemic and the resulting econom...

The Senate, by a vote of 52 to 47, rejected a legislative package put together by Senate Republican Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) that was woefully inadequate to address the economic and health care needs of our nation.

Even though the fiscal situation has gotten worse, the Senate has still not acted.

The House Appropriations Committee has worked in a bipartisan manner to pass all 12 of its fiscal year (FY) 2021 spending bills out of committee.
