As many are aware from the discussion downstairs, Senate Republicans again blocked unemployment extensions last night, and John Cornyn is blaming Democrats for it even though just two Republicans voted for the extension, and only one Democrat voted against.

Cornyn blames Democrats for failure to extend unemployment benefits

The Senate’s failure Wednesday ensures that more than 2 million people will lose their jobless aid before Congress returns from its week-long recess, according to the Washington Post. The Labor Department estimates that more than 1.2 million people already have been affected.

Also, the House of Representatives just passed an extension of unemployment benefits, 270-153. The Senate will not reconsider the bill until their return from recess July 12.
