Stay tuned after the show for a message from United Health Group.

Good Tuesday morning. I'm Jake Sherman and welcome to your political playbook audio briefing.

And I'm Anna Palmer. Sometimes, and it's not often, members of Congress decide to go big

and move quickly with a breakneck speed that's hard to fathom. That may be what's happening

right now with the phase three stimulus. Some key Senate

Republicans have decided that being in the Capitol, a complex of buildings, teeming with people

above the age of 60 during a pandemic, is an epically bad idea. Florida Senator Marco Rubio

told our colleague John Bresdenhan that he doesn't think the Senate can

convene every week like this as they are this week. A caveat, nothing is decided. Things go sideways

in the capital every day, but there seems to be a new move with speed vibe pulsing through the Senate

GOP. Here's what we know as of 6 a.m. Eastern. Treasury Secretary Stephen Mnuchin and the Trump administration are eager to inject hundreds of billions of dollars into the economy right now, and they want Congress to move with speed.

Mnuchin is expected to return to the Capitol today asking for a phase three stimulus package of $850 billion or more.

That's according to multiple sources involved in assembling this deal.

As a point of comparison, the Joint Committee on Taxation said Phase 2 cost $100 billion,

so Phase 3 could be more than eight times larger than Phase 2.

TARP was $475 billion, but banks made the government whole eventually.

Newton, who, without a doubt, has emerged as the savviest administration figure in dealing with Congress,

will have policy suggestions, but Congress is going to have a big say on what actually makes it in the package.

The Trump administration does not give a lick about the price tag at this point.

It just wants speed.

We are skeptical because these things usually take time on Capitol Hill, unless they don't.

The $850 billion figure may be calming to markets, which we're looking up this morning.
