    So apparently air mail service between the USA and Thailand has been stopped. Three months by ship? So what's the expiration date on the checks?

    When did this happen? Have you got a link confirming details?  I sent a letter air mail to Thailand from US on Wednesday and no one informed me of this and they certainly didn't charge me the surface rate. Thanks.

    Senate vote was unanimous so no roll call was necessary.

    In the House a quorum of 216 congressmen blocked the rule change for a roll call and passed the bill by voice vote. Perfectly normal legislative procedures. Good on both Republican and Democrat congressional leadership in the House to bypass Massie's rogue behavior in a bipartisan manner!

    Trump even tweeted of Massie's "third rate grandstanding": "He just wants the publicity. He can'stop it, only delay it, which is both dangerous & costly."

     

    It is not good. MANY members of the House from both parties had problems with this package because of it's weighting that overwhelmingly favored large corporations and underweighting the needs of the people and small businesses. Pelosi pushed for a voice vote in the House so no Congress member's vote would be recorded.

    Pelosi did s great job here.

     

    Fought off the attempt by the executive to award itself a $500,000,000,000 secret slush fund, ensured frontline medical services would get the cash they need, batted off an attempt to strip

    funding from women’s health and stopped any of this money going to businesses owned by Trump or his family.

     

    As for Trump excluding Democrats from the signing of this bipartisan bill, I’m quite certain they are very pleased not to be in a room with him right now.

     

    That's not even a 1/8th of what the Democrat and Republican leadership forced through without consulting Congress and allowing a roll call vote. The headlines are extremely misleading. Several segments here will explain it.
