Shameful. The most basic duty of any elected official is to protect and defend the democratic process. — PolitiTweet.org

5. McConnell insists that he's ready to make a deal if the Democrats just drop anything they want that he doesn't support and agree to everything he wants, like sweeping immunity for corporations that negligently expose their workers to COVID https://t.co/RiEBb1UQwC — PolitiTweet.org

4. The way the process has been structured is first a bipartisan group of lawmakers created a compromise that is 1/3 the size of the Dem proposal & now that proposal will be used as a jumping off point for another compromise w/McConnell and the far right https://t.co/RiEBb1UQwC — PolitiTweet.org

3. But McConnell's proposal is more about saying Republicans support more relief than meeting human needs. Millions of people face eviction in 2021 but McConnell's proposal contains no money for rent support and no extension of the eviction moratorium https://t.co/RiEBb1UQwC — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

2. McConnell is interested in a new COVID relief package which could be because he suddenly cares about the economic condition of working people OR it could be that Perdue and Loeffler are both running on additional COVID relief and he needs one to win https://t.co/RiEBb1UQwC — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

1. In March and April, when the stock market was tanking, Republicans supported large COVID relief legislation Since then, things have gotten much worse for PEOPLE, but the MARKET has recovered and the GOP has blocked further relief https://t.co/RiEBb1UQwC https://t.co/WSrhyNxsch — PolitiTweet.org

@ByronYork This is a very weird thread. Pelosi was advocating for a much bigger package which would have helped people -- and Trump -- more. It even passed through the House. McConnell has passed nothing since April. — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

This is a great point. I’d like to personally thank the Trump administration for not securing the option to purchase more doses of a highly-effective vaccine that’s already available. So much winning! — PolitiTweet.org

Austin left the military 4 years ago, and in the interim has been on the board of Raytheon, one of the world's largest defense contractors He'll need a waiver from Congress to be confirmed because he hasn't been retired from the military for 7 years — PolitiTweet.org

Just wanted to point out it's totally nuts that the process for negotiating the next pandemic relief package is that FIRST a bipartisan group negotiates a COMPROMISE and THEN that compromise is used as a jumping off point for ANOTHER COMPROMISE with McConnell and the far right — PolitiTweet.org

@Microsoft @GoldmanSachs @BankofAmerica @Ford @GM 2. What does @BillGates, who remains a major @Microsoft shareholder, think of the company's donating 5K to Perdue in November? Gates has a book coming out next year about climate change & is calling for aggressive action that Perdue would block https://t.co/BvU3XuqVHr — PolitiTweet.org
