    Republicans cheered tax cuts to the ultra wealthy to a tune of $2 trillion dollars, but now oppose sending Americans a survival check of $2,000?

    Does that third martini count as a new purchase, ?

    Kevin Brady says he opposes $2,000 checks because it would go toward people paying down credit card debt or making “new purchases online at Wal-Mart, Best Buy or Amazon.” Funny, how people spent money didn't seem to be a huge concern when Republicans passed their tax cut bill.

    The only thing stopping you from a $2,000 check is .

    BREAKING: US House passes bill that would increase Covid stimulus payments from $600 to $2,000 by 275-134 vote, needing two-thirds majority to pass. Measure now moves to US Senate. Story:

    Dems want you to have the 2k, the House GOP doesn’t. It really is that simple.

    Hey Mitch, It’s Christmas Eve. You need to cross the $2000 checks off Americans wish lists.

    7 months after Democrats took bold action to provide COVID relief , the GOP finally agreed to a down payment on plans to & put money in people’s pockets. More help is needed. Will McCarthy, McConnell & Republicans reject $2000 for Americans in crisis?

    I made it clear in May that Americans needed survival payments. I co-sponsored a bill to do just that. Senate Republicans have opposed our efforts, but now with the public support of , it’s time to get it done. What do you say, ?

    A former Secretary of the Interior once proclaimed it his goal to “civilize or exterminate” Indigenous people. I’m a living testament to the failure of that horrific ideology. I’m here on the shoulders of my ancestors and all the people who have sacrificed.

    Agreed, which is why I filed the College Athletes Bill of Rights earlier this week. It’s overdue!

    Pay the damn players.

    Proud to be introduce and support The College Athletes Bill of Rights. It’s time for bold change to protect athletes driving a multi-billion dollar industry.

    These are two headlines on the same day. We need transformational change, including taxing the ultra rich.

    A double benefit? Working people are suffering, millions have slipped into poverty, and we are long overdue for unemployment benefits and survival checks.

    The Number 2 Senate Republican suggested lawmakers are seeking to prevent people who get the $300 unemployment benefit from also getting the $600 check, calling it a "double benefit." The Congressional Democrats I've spoken to are firmly against this idea

    Today, the Electoral College confirmed a resounding victory for and as our next President and Vice-President of the United States. To voters who braved a pandemic that has now claimed 300,000 US lives to be heard at the ballot box — help is on the way!

    1 in 4 children in our country don’t know what their next meal will be. People are suffering, they're calling our offices weeping. Families are mourning. This is the wealthiest country in the world and our government is not providing what they need. We need NOW.
