They're literally blocking COVID emergency budget bills getting passed in the Senate

This is time to fall in line or be thrown out of your job.

At least one bill is being blocked because it doesn't have language prohibiting the money to be used for abortion. The money would be used to fight Covid-19 pandemic, but for some reason, it's critical that the money in no way go to abortion.

Why don't Republicans need to fall in line when Democrats pass much needed relief for coronavirus?
