Democratic leaders Tuesday backtracked on a plan to reconvene the House next week after rank-and-file lawmakers called the move “dangerous.” Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, a Maryland Democrat, told reporters Tuesday the decision was based on several factors, including a recommendation from healthcare officials. “The House physician's view is that there is a risk to members that is one he would not recommend taking,” Hoyer said. Hoyer told reporters leaders will wait until a second economic aid package is ready for a vote. The Senate is scheduled to reconvene on Monday, and the House had planned to return. Now, its next

Cowardly, senile, even mummified, old men and women who ate too scared feces-less to do the job we elected and PAY them to do over what the rest of us are successfully dealing with.
That said.
STAY AWAY FROM WASHINGTON.
America can do very well with you cowering away in your mansions.

Every single Republican house member better get their behinds to Washington to sit in the house chambers. They must demand, in unison, in front every camera they have (network, CSPAN, their own InstagramTV/Facebook live accounts) that the Democrats show up. We need public displays of unity from the GOP house reps at this point.
The USA is dying and the Democrat Party is killing it. I believe a majority of Americans can see that at this point. Dems always take it too far, they cannot help themselves. The GOP must ignore the magnifying tactics of liberals on social media and the MSM. Social distancing be damned.

Steny Hoyer, a complete freakin fraud. These scum bags collect a salary for doing nothing. They sit idle like a car engine in neutral. Think about it. What have these communists done for the American citizen. Everything they have done benefits either illegal aliens, criminals, special interest groups or the non working malcontents of our society. Nothing has been done for the tax payers, absolutely nothing. Get it yet.

Agree that every Republican possible should get to DC.
After all, they are all still getting paid, which means the House is in some sort of session.
Wonder if they could make a quorum, and nominate a new House Majority leader based on the quorum.
Otherwise, they'll ensure to keep the House adjourned until Nov election, IMO They'll always have their House physician say it's not safe enough.

'Democratic leaders Tuesday backtracked on a plan to reconvene the House next week after rank-and-file lawmakers called the move “dangerous.” '
Of course it's dangerous.
What would the public think if they saw Congress
meeting and operating normally?
The public might get the idea that this whole
pandemic thingie is just a media circus.
The public might just get the idea that they have been devastated
for Democrat political advantage.
The public might decide to vote for Trump in the election.
Very dangerous indeed...

Good Lord help them that they should actually have to WORK for their essential paychecks. Then again work seems to be endless investigations into supercilious BS. How about we just stop the paychecks ?

So it's only safe for them to come in if there's another trillion dollars to waste?

The one thing the COVID mess has proven is accurate Congress is a non essential service.

The only thing that will get Pelosi back to Washington is by leaving a trail of ice cream from SF to DC.

Non-essential workers. Who have the power to vote themselves a pay raise and call it "stimulus" for the little people. Term limits now!

Keep confirming those judges Mitch. Who cares what the House does - they have accomplished nothing in four years.
