The bill is coming.
Take Responsibility for Workers and Families Act:
Take Responsibility for Workers and Families Act:
- For our workers and small businesses: our bill requires that any corporation that takes taxpayer dollars must protect their workers' wages and benefits – not CEO pay, stock buybacks or layoffs. It gives our small businesses fast relief with grants and loans to tide them through this crisis. And it strengthens Unemployment Insurance so that it can replace the average wages of our workers who are losing their jobs and hours.
- For our doctors, nurses, health care workers and first responders: It gives hospitals and other health institutions the desperately needed funds to provide treatment and care to all those who are sick and to ensure they have the Personal Protective Equipment to protect health care workers and first responders. It protects our health care workers by requiring the Administration to enforce our stronger Occupational Safety and Health Administration protections. At the same time, it calls for the president to invoke the Defense Production Act immediately.
- For our families: It gives direct payments to America's families in a robust way and strengthens Child Tax Credits and the Earned Income Tax Credit. It gives more workers the security of guaranteed paid family and medical leave, including those caring for our seniors. And it makes coronavirus treatment free for the patient.
- For our students: Pumps nearly $40 billion into schools and universities, with $30 billion directly provided to states to help them stabilize their funding for schools and nearly $10 billion to help alleviate the harm caused by coronavirus on higher education institutions, while providing them with added flexibility to continue operating during the crisis. The legislation also helps current borrowers with their student debt burden and GI bill benefits. We also bolster SNAP and other initiatives to address food insecurity.
- For our Democracy: Ensures that states can carry out this year's election with billions in grant funding for states through the Election Assistance Commission and a national requirement for both 15 days of early voting and no-excuse absentee vote-by-mail, including mailing a ballot to all registered voters in an emergency.

Absolutely necessary. Pubs want low turnout so they won't bother with it without it being attached to a bill like this.
Feels good right?
It was a silver lining in my week last week filling that in and not being asked if I was citizen.

The name of that bill is *chef's kiss*
the shade
Call your Senators--even if they're GOP CHUDs--and demand that they prioritize workers over corporations. Make them fear a mass of pissed off, out of work constituents coughing in their local offices
I'm laughing at their asking if people prefer $2000 over $1000. What answer did they expect? That question seems like a bit of a waste of timem.
How do $2000 checks only win 51-36 over $1000 checks lmao
I mean, it figured out that 36% don't and a large chunk are undecided on whether 2k is better than 1k.

Yeah, if the rest of the polling is like that then the Republican proposals are gonna go over like a wet fart with the overwhelming majority of Americans. Democrats are on the right side AND the popular side on these matters, and that House bill is fabulous.
In case you didn't know, tax day has been moved from April 15 to July 15, also with no penalties until after then.
Watching Manchin and McConnell exchange.
Manchin laying out a very clear need to focus funding on healthcare needs, hospitals, and necessary equipment. Making it very clear that the corporate bailout won't help anything.
McConnell grandstanding and fighting desperately to stop the delay!! The money must flow!!
Lots of: "May I remind my friend from WV how the pROceSs works?"

If McConnell was hoping the stock markets would force the dems hand, his strategy has failed miserably
We're adding 5k COVID cases every 12 hours. By the end of the week, we'll have the most cases in the world.
Heh, saying "don't blame me" while also saying "the regulations aren't good enough for people with respiratory concerns" while also saying "I was able to cut to the front of the line." Fantastic messaging.
And I am sipping.
Now would be the perfect time for DFP to release that ME poll.
The free market allowed me to cut to the front of the line!1!
AOC was this close to adopting Moderate Darling into the popular culture. Damnit.
Really good set of tweets overall though.

So it was a good thing that guy tackled Rand a couple years ago then, huh
you telling me people want more money or less money? Shocked.
Fucking bodied, my god.
Remember who met with Biden's team in the last two weeks?
