While Senate Republicans told us we cannot afford to provide $1,400 direct payments to the working class, they had no problem introducing a bill this week to repeal the estate tax which would provide a $1.7 trillion tax break to the billionaire class. Total hypocrisy!
The American Rescue Plan is a historic achievement. It delivers for the working families and small businesses that urgently need support to recover and rebuild after COVID.
I’m grateful to our DFL Congressional Delegation, who acted with the decisiveness this moment demands.
Minnesota is currently experiencing both a winter storm warning *and* a tornado warning, which can only mean one thing... it’s shorts and sweatshirt season.
Be safe out there!⚠️❄️🌪😎

The American Rescue plan is going to have an immense impact on nearly every community in America.
Senate Democrats promised big, bold, urgent COVID relief for Americans across this country.
And with the American Rescue Plan, we delivered.
Rep. Greene’s attempt to block COVID-relief this morning by adjourning the House won’t work.
Her motion will be defeated.
Again.
And the #AmericanRescuePlan will become law.
