When I came to Congress, I knew I had a responsibility to pull back the curtain for the American people and expose corruption in real time. So, I’m filling you in on Senator McConnell’s attempts over the last 8 days to tank a *bipartisan* COVID relief bill. (THREAD)

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Funny how you didn’t hear Republicans complain about “spending other people’s money” or ask “how are we going to pay for it?!” when they insisted on creating a $4 trillion leveraged slush fund for their Wall Street buddies in March. 🤔

BREAKING: Because of LAST MINUTE ruling, Minnesota DO NOT put ballots in mail any more.
In the middle of a pandemic, the Republican Party is doing everything to make it hard for you to vote. Stand up for YOUR rights:

Vote in-person or take mail-in ballot directly to ballot box

This man stole 5,500 children as young as two years-old from their parents

This man has allowed forced sterilizations in the same migrant detention centers

This man could have saved 100,000 lives encouraging people to wear masks but instead 230,000 of our loved ones are dead

This is a lie. Your daddy got a whole bank account in China.

[Soledad O'Brien @soledadobrien]

About time, honestly. But why book people who you know are going to lie. You can just report the news.
