Can they take it up today?
I imagine Biden wants to show how urgent this is by signing it ASAP.

Sounds great.
Love that they didnt take it to the wire and cause more anxiety.
I dont think people appreciate how different this bill is from the other ones last year. This is all for the working class.

But Democrats are under a time crunch. They want the bill to become law by mid-March, when a federal boost to unemployment benefits expires. House Democrats have signaled they could vote soon after the Senate finished with the bill. House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md., said the House would likely vote on the bill on Monday.

Or is that it for the Senate voting on this?

Madame Speaker won't allow it.
