I will not vote for a COVID package that doesn’t include survival payments and unemployment relief for the American people. It’s a red line. It’s also common sense. Sick + tired of Mitch McConnell & the GOP playing games with peoples’ lives for corporate handouts. It ends here.

The @USProgressives Chair @RepJayapal makes their position clear as congressional leaders meet tonight - says they're "united" that "any package must include direct survival checks and enhanced unemployment assistance, the two most effective ways to get money directly to people."

Serious question: do you think senior Democratic leadership is afraid to take a stand for direct stimulus? Or do you think they don’t really understand how bad things are? Or... do they just not care?

What's disgusting is that you don't support even short-term liability protection for small businesses, hospitals, schools, and, yes, big businesses, too, who make legit efforts to protect people, against likely-baseless lawsuits.

But will you vote in favor of a #COVID19 package that also includes shielding health care execs, limit enforcement of the Civil Rights Act and empower the Attorney General to punish workers and customers who sue corporations?

You don’t have a caucus or any alliances. This is like a kid stomping foot on ground. Try actually showing up for work. Building alliances. Getting people to vote with you. You know - being a Congresswoman.

(IF) the GOP cared about America’s working class — they would have never allowed the CARES ACT to expire during a global pandemic. GOP was warned by the Fed’s that more stimulus will be needed for households. On the 11th hour they’re still REFUSING—to provide economic relief‼️
