When I came to Congress, I knew I had a responsibility to pull back the curtain for the American people and expose corruption in real time. So, I’m filling you in on Senator McConnell’s attempts over the last 8 days to tank a *bipartisan* COVID relief bill. (THREAD)
You may have heard that Democrats and Republicans have agreed upon spending $900 billion to fund another round of small business loans, support hospitals and essential workers, and help the 10 million people who lost their jobs through no fault of their own. (2/5)
Everyone at the negotiating table—including Senate Rs—has agreed to a compromise. Except one. Mitch McConnell is refusing to bring it to the floor unless it wipes away all COVID-related lawsuits filed that “allege injury or death” due to corporate negligence. (3/5)
These lawsuits represent the worst of the worst examples of disregard for human life—cases filed on behalf of nursing home patients and grocery store workers who died because the company in charge of keeping them safe prioritized cutting costs over protecting them. (4/5)
The same McConnell who said that President Trump is “100% within his rights” to pursue baseless lawsuits alleging election fraud is now refusing to pass urgently-needed relief unless it strips those same rights from the most vulnerable among us. This must be exposed. (5/5)
I'm so glad you are where you are.
McConnell liability shields are solely for protecting meat tycoons like GOP megadonor Ron Cameron and others. Allowing them to send workers to their death in COVID-ridden plants with NO repercussions whatsoever

Our bills are piling up. Rent in arrears, food low, eviction close. The people who paid taxes need help.
I just told a landlord today that even as social services agencies (like mine) are trying like hell to get people rent money, he and others should start screaming at their legislators who refuse to help. He’s on the verge of bankruptcy bc he’s owed so much back rent. Sick.
