    Let’s do it. @RashidaTlaib and I already co-wrote the COVID amendment for $2,000 checks, so it’s ready to go. Glad to see the President is willing to support our legislation. We can pass $2k checks this week if the Senate GOP agrees to stand down. https://twitter.com/CNBCnow/status/1341560858552508422 …pic.twitter.com/nFFs1ExqCK

        For people asking about the insane & corrupt tax giveaways in the deal (ex. the “3 martini lunch” trash 🚮) much of that gross stuff is actually the omnibus. It’s a little confusing, but basically there’s 3 major components to the COVID deal: 1. Rule 2. Omnibus 3. COVID relief

        For context, it actually took 3 votes to pass this COVID bill. 1st vote: The Rule (process vote) The rule vote cleared the way for the bill to be brought to a vote so soon after text dropped. It passed, which is one reason why the vote happened so fast. (I & others voted NO)

        2nd vote is the Omnibus. What’s that? Basically the “deal” is centered on tying COVID relief to funding the gov(aka Omnibus). They were tied together so pols who were against COVID relief (checks, SNAP, UI, etc) could trade for their horse write-offs etc in the Omni. Gross, no?

        It’s gross but also true! The dilemma many were dealing w/ was: bc these things were tied together, it made clean COVID relief impossible. You can largely thank Mitch for that. I’m not saying this is all 1 party but fr he’s awful. Anyways the Omnibus has most of the gross stuff

        The omnibus is actually a collection of legislation that funds each federal agency (Homeland Security $ + Enviro $ + NASA $, etc). There are many agencies, so the 2nd vote was the omni w/ DHS, DoD, Fin Services & a lot of the “pork” leg people are objecting to (I also voted NO)

        The THIRD vote had the actual COVID relief: the too-little $600 checks, $300 in UI, SNAP⬆️,etc. There were also some omnis tacked on, but less controversial. (I initially voted PRESENT on this bc this process is so F’d up, but then YES bc my families are so hungry. Wanted to 🤢)

        Anyways, that’s a very loose breakdown (at least process-wise) of how it went down. Process is important because it’s how pols get overwhelmingly corrupt and unpopular things into legislation. They can’t campaign on it, so many use process & obscure deals to sneak things in.

        The solution to our politcal problems will never, ever come down from national figures like mana from heaven. Progressives must virally encourage and elect eachother, each year, *thousands* of us, until we have gained the leverage we need to win at the top. Follow @lbcrats
