Toomey Blocks Provision He Previously Voted For

Sen. Pat Toomey (R-PA) blocked an attempt by Democrats to bring up a bill that would stop debt collectors from garnishing stimulus checks, a provision which had previously been deemed ineligible under budget reconciliation rules, the Huffington Post reports.

However, Toomey and the vast majority of Senate Republicans voted in favor of such a provision in the previous Covid relief that passed in December.
