  1. Republican leadership has endless amounts of money for bloated military budgets and tax breaks for billionaires. But when working families need help, oh my God, we can’t afford it! I am a little tired of that hypocrisy.

  2. All of a sudden Mitch McConnell and Senate Republicans are worried that someone in America might get a $2,000 check "who doesn't need it." Funny. They had no problem giving a $1.4 billion tax break to Charles Koch and his family with a net worth of $113 billion. What hypocrisy!

  3. “I don't know how to live anymore. Sometimes it's so hard." This family says $2,000 checks would help them pay their back rent and survive.

    The House voted for $2,000 checks by a two-thirds, bipartisan majority. With just days left in this Congress, the Senate must act NOW. Call your Senators at (202) 224-3121 and demand they vote on the $2,000 direct payment legislation already passed overwhelmingly by the House.

    Mitch McConnell is keeping $1400 from workers who can't pay their bills. CALL SENATE & tell them to support $2,000 stimulus checks: 1-855-963-2258

    🤦🏾‍♀️ The U.S. Senate needs to fix its priorities. We can give everyone a shot at a decent life in this country when we put the people before the wealthy and well-connected. Call the Senate & tell them to support $2,000 stimulus checks: 1-855-963-2258

    People need + deserve $2k checks, not $600. Gov't needs to act NOW! Call your senators TODAY using the U.S. Capitol Switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and DEMAND a clean vote on the bi-partisan bill for $2,000 direct payments.

  10. $2000 checks is a matter of life and death for millions of Americans. Call your Senator at (202) 224-3121 and demand the Senate vote NOW on the bipartisan $2,000 direct payment legislation passed by the House of Representatives.

    Trump supports the $2,000 payments, Biden supports the $2,000 and the American people support $2,000. McConnell must allow a vote on the $2,000 payments now.

    $2000 checks for the working class passed the House of Representatives with bipartisan support. Mitch McConnell – Let’s have an up or down vote in the Senate NOW, and get this done.

    This is about life and death for millions of people. The Senate must approve the $2000 for every working class adult.

    This week on the Senate floor Mitch McConnell wants to vote to override Trump's veto of the $740 billion defense funding bill and then head home for the New Year. I'm going to object until we get a vote on legislation to provide a $2,000 direct payment to the working class.

    At a time when so many people are facing economic desperation, the $600 direct payment is a step forward – but it's not enough. We need to increase that direct payment to $2000. Biden wants it, Trump wants it, Pelosi wants it, Schumer wants it. Now, Congress must vote to do it.

    Along with Vice President-elect and Sen. , I've been fighting for months to get Congress to pass a $2,000 direct payment for the working class. The House must pass this legislation tomorrow and the Senate must quickly follow suit. Let's get this done – NOW!

    In this dangerous moment – COVID, oligarchy, economic desperation, climate change, a dysfunctional health care system, systemic racism, etc. – we must continue fighting for a political revolution and transformative change. Nothing less than the future of the world is at stake.

    Congress must pass $2,000 in direct payments and Trump must sign the COVID-relief bill. If not, tens of millions of Americans will lose their unemployment benefits, go hungry and face eviction. This would be a level of governmental cruelty not seen in our lifetimes.

    That's great! I first introduced a bill to provide a $2,000 direct payment with & 7 months ago. Now, Mr. President, get Mitch McConnell and your Republican friends to stop opposing it and we can provide working class Americans with $2,000. Let's do it.
