Basically: “I’m not helping you but my platitude “understanding” will help you through evictions, mass unemployment, poverty, no healthcare or bankruptcy from Covid...” Pelosi blocked stimulus and worked to help her millionaire buddies as much as Trump. @SpeakerPelosi@JoeBiden
My dad used to say, “Joey, I don’t expect the government to solve my problems. But I expect it to understand my problems.”
Folks out there aren’t looking for a handout — they just need help. They’re in trouble through no fault of their own, and they need us to understand.

Wall Street traders could be second in line for a COVID-19 vaccine after healthcare workers and nursing home residents.
A trade group told me they asked the CDC to treat financial workers as "essential," per DHS guidelines

We can and should continue to push for $2k/mo in stimulus for everyone, more aid to small businesses, and an end to big corporations profiting from the pandemic. We have to do our jobs as elected reps.
@CoriBush Defund police means stop forcing taxpayers to pay obscene amt to militarize police & put it into POC communities & education. How can @BarackObama who used the “yes we can” snappy slogan be against this? That’s right, he serves plutocrats which was obvious by his 8yrs as POTUS.
With all due respect, Mr. President—let’s talk about losing people. We lost Michael Brown Jr. We lost Breonna Taylor. We’re losing our loved ones to police violence.
It’s not a slogan. It’s a mandate for keeping our people alive. Defund the police.
Violent crime stems from years of disinvestment in communities like mine.
St. Louis City is nearing its record in homicides, but announced plans to shut down 11 public schools.
We can't defund education & expect to fix violent crime. We have to invest in our communities.
Give the people what they need, direct & reoccurring cash payments, period. Families are in dire straits: hungry, need diapers (a crisis that has gotten little attention) are unemployed & on the brink of eviction. Please share what direct cash would mean for you.
"To be clear, Obama ordered the killing of people via drone whose names, whose identities, he did not always know, and could not be sure of.”
On the @MehdiHasanShow today, I took on Obama's drone legacy, as the ex-president continues his book tour.
Watch:
Given the enormous economic desperation facing working families in this country today, I can't support this proposal unless it is significantly improved.

@AOC Don’t forget to mention “mama” Pelosi who doesn’t give two shits & only now supports stimulus that’s half what it was before election. She’s been working against stimulus too. Squad, stop kissing centrist dems butts. They don’t care. Pelosi made $100 million working against us.
