Welcome to the Pennsylvania member of Congress Tracking Report for the week ending April 26, 2020. Congress came back to Washington – briefly – to pass two pieces of legislation related to the #COVID19 pandemic.

First up, we have a recap of H. Res. 938.

After #Trump attempted to subvert all oversight of the federal #coronavirus response, the House Dems created a new #oversight committee to keep an eye on the spending.

In case you need a reminder, this is just one of the things #Trump did that necessitated the creation of the new House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Crisis.

He really just wants a #GOPSlushFund

From @SenToomey on the #coronavirus

#Patsy wants to re-open #Pennsylvania, and many think that his decision to drop this plan is his way of dipping his toe in the coming race for governor.

From #PA01’s @RepBrianFitz on #coronavirus

Fitzpatrick’s statement seems more like a rant.
But his claims that he cares for how the #PPP funds are being disbursed are ENTIRELY undercut by his vote against the oversight committee.
