Wyden is a hero of the pandemic economy — largely responsible for the checks that reduced poverty at the worst of the crisis. And he's right here too. — PolitiTweet.org

Yep — this is not a slowdown caused by general lack of demand; it's all about the pandemic, and is heavily concentrated in contact-intensive sectors — PolitiTweet.org

Congress should immediately extend enhanced unemployment benefits, currently scheduled to expire in March. It's not about stimulus; it's about disaster relief. Depressed labor markets will persist for much of this year 2/ — PolitiTweet.org

This may have seemed like a wonkish argument, although if he had actually gotten his way it would have ruined the lives of hundreds of thousands if not millions of Americans. But it also told you who he was 3/ — PolitiTweet.org

Thoughts on Josh Hawley: One thing we should have learned long ago is that politicians' character extends across multiple issues. I realized that Bush etc were lying about Iraq bc the selling of the war sounded just like the lies used to sell tax cuts 1/ — PolitiTweet.org
