Major warning issued from three Republicans – Tim Scott, Ben Sasse, Lindsey Graham – who say there’s a “massive drafting error” in the stimulus bill. And they would prevent the Senate from fast-tracking its passage unless it is addressed.

Sens Graham/Sasse/ScottSC: We must sadly oppose the fast-tracking of this bill until this text is addressed, or the Department of Labor issues regulatory guidance that no American would earn more by not working than by working.

There are draft versions of the stimulus bill circulating on the Hill but it has not been officially introduced – even though the Senate plans to vote on it today. So there’s still time to change the language. But doing that could open up a whole new can of worms
