Crisis in our 3 branches of Gov't - 1) Executive : organized corruption of America by the Trump White House. 2) Legislative : a Capital Hill long broken by money $ in politics. 3) The Supreme Court: losing vestiges of Dignity #BrettKavanaugh #KavanaughHearings #GangsterPresident

Republicans created a malignant populism because the Democrats refused to create an enlightened one.

This is just in one week.

The American people need more relief, Mitch.

LIVE LOOK at the line of people waiting to vote at 730am on NYE — the last day of early voting in Cobb County, Georgia. As a reminder, the states runoff elections will ultimately determine the balance of power in Washington DC.

[Kyle Griffin @kylegriffin1]

Mitch McConnell just objected twice — again — to requests from Schumer and Sanders to bring the House-passed bill for $2000 relief checks up for a vote. He said the bill was "socialism for the rich."

[Nina Turner @ninaturner]

Where is their appetite for means testing corporate bailouts? We see right through you, @senatemajldr!

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

Mitch McConnell says $2,000 checks are "socialism for the rich." Ha!

Here are the tax rebate checks corporations received from Trump's tax plan:

Amazon: $129 million
Delta: $187 million
Chevron: $181 million
GM: $104 million
IBM: $342 million

That's socialism for the rich!

Dear Kentucky,

10 out of the poorest 25 counties in the United States are located in Kentucky.

Jesus. Think about that.

And you have had the same Senator Mitch McConnell for 36 years.

DO YOU MAYBE SEE A CONNECTION HERE KENTUCKY????

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Your reminder that the total cost of providing $2,000 checks ($465 billion) is less than half the amount American billionaires have made during the pandemic ($1 trillion).

@SenSanders arguing for #Democracy arguing that the #USSenate be allowed simply to vote on the U S Government providing tax-payer support to #WeThePeople in a time of national crisis. Opposed by #MitchMcConnell - #TheRichEatThePoor - #TrickleDown is a myth. #Oligarchy

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

I am once again asking for a yes-or-no vote on $2,000 survival checks. https://t.co/chyjmMgspS

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

All of a sudden, Mitch McConnell is "worried" about giving a $2,000 check to someone who "doesn't need it."

That's funny. He had no problem giving a $560 million tax break to Sheldon Adelson who is worth $34.3 billion. Total hypocrisy! Let the Senate vote on $2,000 now, Mitch!

Mcconnell republicans will again try to overturn the election trump lost and make trump dictator.

They’ll fail miserably but we should all acknowledge the republican party’s growing hostility to democracy.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

The Pentagon spends:

$740,000,000,000 every year

$2,000,000,000 every day

$1,000,000 every minute

And you’re telling me we can’t afford $2000 survival checks?

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

$2000 checks for the working class passed the House of Representatives with bipartisan support.

Mitch McConnell – Let’s have an up or down vote in the Senate NOW, and get this done.

[Jim Sciutto @jimsciutto]

President Trump arrived at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida, at 9:37 am on Tuesday, marking his 425th day at one of his properties and 312th day at one of his golf clubs during his presidency, per CNN’s count.

I’ve always liked and respected hard working @AliVelshi but this may be remembered as his finest moment. Journalism as it was meant to be. No mealy mouthed both-sides-ism. Standing strong in a moment of crisis. Thank you @VelshiMSNBC.

130yrs ago today. Dec 29, 1890: The Wounded Knee Massacre. 300 unarmed Lakota women, children & old men executed by the US Army. They had asked the spirits for 3 simple things: restore the Earth, return the buffalo & make the White people disappear. Oops. This is White America.

As this Congress session winds down here’s a partial list of the important things the mcconnell senate has utterly ignored
