Senate Adjourns Without Deal on New Coronavirus Aid as Millions Face Hunger and Eviction
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Republican leaders have adjourned the Senate until after the Labor Day
holiday, after failing to reach agreement with House Democrats on a new
coronavirus stimulus bill. Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders tweeted in
response, "During the worst economic crisis since the 1930s, Mitch Mc
Connell and Senate Republicans think they can take a long vacation while
millions of Americans face hunger and eviction. That is morally
obscene."
