Think corporations are greedy? Check out the 43,000 million-plus-dollar-income individuals who extracted, on average, $1.6 million each out of the CARES coronavirus bill. They took more than hospitals got. https://t.co/7KFU8Id7Hx — PolitiTweet.org

Priorities? He has no protocol for the Senate operating safely, but is pushing through judges for the big donors who fund the judicial influence machine —and the Republican Party. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump has nominated Walker to the second most powerful court in the nation. Walker’s qualifications? Nearly 100 press appearances defending his buddy Kavanaugh & a track record of zealotry in support of Republican Party political goals, like killing #ACA. https://t.co/N1n5MKVWgc — PolitiTweet.org

McConnell delayed the #COVID19 relief bill, flying to Kentucky with Brett Kavanaugh to celebrate yet another unqualified, partisan Trump judge, Justin Walker. https://t.co/4OV4quo4uV — PolitiTweet.org

Small banks still boiling mad that they and their customers are being shouldered aside by big banks for second PPP round, through power of superior automation. Why is SBA not fixing this? What happened here? This is NOT right & NOT fair. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

We added more #PPP money to meet the needs of small businesses, particularly through small banks & credit unions that got pushed aside by big banks. Now big banks have jammed the system with their automated applications, frustrating small banks again. @SBAgov needs to fix this. — PolitiTweet.org

The truth is the law got in the way and even Republican-appointed Justices couldn't stomach delivering a big win for gun manufacturers. But this isn’t over. https://t.co/4NgtcOF2m4 — PolitiTweet.org

After the NRA--a huge Republican donor interest--didn't get what it wants from the Supreme Court, the right-wing donor interest machine kicks into high gear to get the Justices back in line. @WSJopinion takes the lead, of course: https://t.co/9gOiuiPZcb — PolitiTweet.org

Thanks for having me on to break down a true Mitch McConnell special: $161 billion dollars in special tax provisions tucked into the last #COVID19 relief bill to benefit millionaires & billionaires. — PolitiTweet.org

Meanwhile, right-wing effort to do exactly that brings cases through front groups, supported by more front groups that file amicus briefs, funded by same manipulating crew, lots of which turned up in this case! https://t.co/LK02H0GyPP — PolitiTweet.org

If this is true (one never knows with this crew), I would strongly oppose Seema Verma after what she unilaterally did to hurt Rhode Island hospitals; no one at @CMSGov or @HHSGov has been able to defend it. https://t.co/aAVDUTa0Va — PolitiTweet.org

Good Night Lights adapts to the coronavirus. It started as a way to say good night with headlights and emergency vehicle lights to hospitalized children. They get flashlights to flash “Good night” back. It’s a beautiful thing even without coronavirus. https://t.co/mCG35Ga67U — PolitiTweet.org
