“Pelosi cares more about her socialist agenda than the nurses on the front lines, workers who have lost their jobs, and seniors whose retirement plans are getting crushed,” Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) said. “Pelosi & Schumer are willing to risk your life, your job, your retirement savings for a radical, left-wing wish list that has nothing to do with this virus.”
