And just like that, the Congressional oversight provisions for the 1/2 TRILLION dollar Wall St slush fund (which were *already* too weak) are tossed away the day the bill is signed. This is a frightening amount of public money to have given a corrupt admin w/ 0 accountability. — PolitiTweet.org

The cruise industry registers as foreign companies to avoid paying US taxes. Now they want US bailout money. Now the same Republicans who say immigrants who pay US taxes shouldn’t get help are bending over backwards to give 🤑 to foreign companies who DON’T pay taxes. Insane. — PolitiTweet.org

Republicans put more strings and means-testing on single parents and struggling mom + pops than they do on multibillion dollar corporations that don’t pay taxes. — PolitiTweet.org

Items that *are* in the bill: - $200b for hospitals - $150b for state + local govs - 4 mos expanded unemployment insurance, incl gig workers & others - $377b for small biz loans w/ forgiveness eligibility - $30b in emergency education funding — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

What Trump + Senate GOP have done is hold hospitals, working people, and the vulnerable hostage so they could get in $500 billion (that will be leveraged into $4T) in corporate welfare. Without the Wall St giveaway, GOP refuses to fund hospitals & unemployment. It’s inhumane. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

To clarify, $1200 checks are ONLY going to some w/social sec numbers, NOT immigrants w/ tax IDs (ITINs). Thanks to GOP, these checks will be cut off the backs of *taxpaying immigrants,* who get nothing. Many are essential workers who pay more taxes than Amazon. Wall St gets $4T — PolitiTweet.org

Just a reminder that there is absolutely no good reason why Senate Republicans are tying a historic corporate giveaway to getting relief money in the hands of families. They could just authorize sending checks to families today, right now, & deal with the rest. But they refuse. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

For days, major CEOs & certain powerful people have been admitting, in clear terms, that they are willing to sacrifice people’s lives for their profits, but are NOT willing to sacrifice their profit for people’s lives. Remember this lesson, bc it informs a LOT of US policy. — PolitiTweet.org
