U.S. senators are returning to work in Washington, D.C., after Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell insisted on resuming in-person business, despite the objections of some lawmakers. The House of Representatives is not returning to D.C. this week. Washington, D.C., is considered a coronavirus hot spot. Minority Leader Chuck Schumer blasted the Republican agenda for precipitating lawmakers’ return, tweeting, “Senate Republicans should be laser focused on the health and economic crises caused by COVID-19, not confirming right-wing judges or protecting big business from legal liability.”
