Businesses large and small, through no fault of their own, are failing. We told them to shut down and workers are losing their jobs. Let me clear something up for everyone. A loss of a job is a loss of a job whether from a large business or a small business, and it is devastating for families. Americans need help. Thankfully, this bill covers it all, from direct aid to accelerated loans. But when every day counts in a crisis, this bill was delayed by Democrats unnecessarily for a totally unrelated progressive wish list. I don't get mad, but this made me mad. And, in the end, the final bill today is barely different than last weekend, and the Record will show that. But we have it now, and we should pass it now. It will soften the upcoming hardship. But we must not be complacent, for we have more difficult decisions ahead: How will we balance the opening of society with the pandemic? It is a tough question, and we won't be able to answer that question if the antics of this week continue. The country will move forward together as Americans, not as petty, opportunistic partisans.

I don't need much time. The question was asked if we had ever bothered speaking to trans kids. The answer is absolutely yes. Maybe that is why I am so passionate about this. It turns out there are hundreds and hundreds, thousands perhaps…
