After President Trump stepped in on Saturday with an Executive Order to temporarily extend stimulus benefits, Democrats on Sunday lambasted the move which undermined the urgency behind ongoing negotiations over the next bipartisan package.

On Sunday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) told “Fox News Sunday” that the executive orders were “unconstitutional slop,” adding “We have to reach an agreement.”

Children are food insecure. Families are at the risk of being evicted. The virus is moving like a freight train,” she added. “The kindest thing I could say is he doesn’t know what he’s talking about or something’s wrong there — something’s very, very wrong.”

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) called the EOs ‘paltry,’ along with ‘unworkable, weak and far too narrow.’

“The event at the country club is just what Trump does — a big show, but it doesn’t do anything,” Schumer told ABC‘s “This Week” on Sunday.

Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, meanwhile, says that if the Democrats have a new proposal, “I’m willing to listen.”

On Fox, Mnuchin chided Democrats for their intransigence over weeks of talks, particularly on state and local government funding, which some Republicans have termed a bailout for Democratic states. He urged Pelosi to help pass a bill on “things we agree on” before returning to some of the most contentious issues.Bloomberg

On Saturday, President Trump signed executive orders extending the federal unemployment boost by $400 per week, down from $600. He also temporarily deferred payroll taxes for certain workers, pursued eviction protections and student loan relief.

When it was suggested that Democrats may sue to stop the benefits from flowing, White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow told ABC “Maybe we’re going to go to court on them. We’re going to go ahead with our actions anyway,” adding “Our counsel’s office, the Treasury Department believes it has the authority to temporarily suspend tax collections. So we’re banking on that.”
