Megathread: House Passes $3 Trillion Coronavirus Relief Bill

Posted: 15 May 2020 07:28 PM PDT

The U.S. House of Representatives on Friday passed a $3 trillion Democratic bill aimed at salving the heavy human and economic toll of the coronavirus pandemic that has killed more than 85,000 Americans and shut much of the economy.

The bill, crafted by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her fellow Democrats, passed mostly along party lines in a 208-199 vote.

But Republicans, who control the Senate, have promised it will be "dead on arrival" in their chamber.

Saturday Morning Political Cartoon Thread

Posted: 16 May 2020 08:29 AM PDT

It's Saturday, folks. Let's all kick back with a cup of coffee and share some cartoons!

Feel free to share political cartoons in this thread. Besides our usual civility policy, there are three rules to follow:

  1. Every top-level comment must contain a political cartoon. This means no text-only top-level comments.
  2. It must be an original cartoon. This means no photographs, no edited cartoons, no memes and no image macros. OC is allowed, as is animation.
  3. Each top-level comment should only have a maximum of 3 cartoons.

That's all. Enjoy your weekend!
