    Comcast got nearly a billion in tax subsidies in 2018. Then they made $12.7 billion on the Trump tax law. Now, during the pandemic they are going to try to charge you extra for watching too much Break. Them. Up.

    This is why monopolies are bad. Comcast can arbitrarily exploit us for profit during a pandemic just because it feels like it. Meanwhile, Comcast collects tons of tax breaks and government subsidies. Comcast should be broken up.

    Mitch McConnell wants to exempt businesses from liability for *all COVID-related lawsuits* His proposal would wipe out claims of workers and consumers against businesses for harms related to the coronavirus FROM 2020 TO 2025. FIVE FULL YEARS without accountability.

    If you want to know why COVID relief is tied up in Congress, one key reason is that Republicans are demanding legal immunity for corporations so they can expose their workers to COVID without repercussions. Dems don’t want you to die for a check. That’s what we’re fighting over.

    Taxpayers are funding COVID vaccine research on a massive scale. We cannot allow Big Pharma to put profits over public health. The COVID vaccine must be made a global public good. This is the . Not Big Pharma's.

    We're joining 100 leaders+ in calling on President-elect Biden to make the upcoming COVID-19 vaccine a global public good. The alternative is global vaccine apartheid, where billions of people in developing countries wait *years* for vaccine access.

    Society cannot function because your dad botched the pandemic response. This is like bragging about using less gas because you totaled the car.

    FACT: Greenhouse gases generated by the U.S. will slide 9.2% this year, tumbling to the lowest level in at least three decades.

    Never forget that while Americans were watching their loved ones get sick and die, Trump was fighting to roll back rules on showerheads because of a personal pet peeve.

    A reminder that Mitch McConnell is *still* holding up coronavirus stimulus because he wants companies like Publix to be immune from COVID-related lawsuits.

    NEW: Publix is being sued in a COVID-19 wrongful death lawsuit. He was 70. He worked at a Publix deli. He wasn't allowed to wear a mask to work. He died alone, after saying goodbye to his four children over Zoom.
