    While the pandemic is surging, Senate Republicans want to provide a 100% deduction for rich people to go out for three-martini lunches and 100% legal immunity for corporations. “Pathetic” is too mild a word.

    Brandon Bernard should be alive today. We must end all federal executions and abolish the death penalty. In a world of incredible violence, the state should not be involved in premeditated murder.

    The U.S. carried out its ninth federal execution of 2020, the first during a presidential lame-duck period in 130 years.

    It would be outrageous and unacceptable for members of Congress to go home when tens of millions of working families are facing economic desperation. We must act now.

    People all over the country are thinking: Does the government hear their pain? Does their government give a damn about them? If we rally the American people, we can make sure Congress provides at least a $1200 payment for every working class adult.

    I will be voting against the Defense Appropriations bill. We need to get our priorities right. At a time when we have enormous unmet needs in our country we should not be spending $740 billion on the military – more than the next 10 nations combined.

    Corporate irresponsibility during this pandemic has led to the deaths of hundreds of workers. Legal immunity for corporations that break the law cannot be included in any Covid-relief package.

    Endless money for wars? No problem. Endless money for tax breaks for the rich? No problem. Endless money for corporate welfare? No problem. But when it comes to providing a $1,200 direct payment to the working class during a pandemic, somehow we can't afford it. Not acceptable.

    Congress must not leave for the Christmas holiday until we protect working people. That means $1200 for every working class adult, $500 for their kids and a $600 per week supplement in unemployment benefits.

    I applaud this effort to end Facebook’s monopoly. Their greed knows no bounds, and they’ve used their power to try and control too much of political and economic life all over the world. The only thing that will stop Facebook is to say “enough is enough” and break it up.

    BREAKING: 48 states file suit accusing Facebook of anti-competitive conduct and U.S. files antitrust suit seeking to break off Instagram and WhatsApp.

    Millions are unemployed, facing eviction, have no health insurance, and going hungry. This is an EMERGENCY, and the U.S. government must respond. Any COVID agreement must include at least $1,200 in direct payments for adults, $500 for kids and supplemental unemployment benefits.

    Here in Washington, when we go to war there’s endless amounts of money. But when children are going hungry today, suddenly we don’t have enough money. That’s wrong. Congress needs to make sure families get the help they need.

    If Congress can afford to give giant subsidies to the fossil fuel industry and a $1 trillion tax break to the top 1%, then we can afford $1200 direct payments to every working class adult in America.

    To me it is a no-brainer: Congress must provide a $1200 direct payment to every working-class adult plus $500 for each of their children.

    Workers at meat processing plants, at Amazon, and around the country have been treated shamefully during this pandemic Working class Americans need $1200 payments to get them through this crisis, not immunity for corporations putting their lives at risk.
