"It's really quite shameful that we find ourselves negotiating a deal with such a small amount of money," @IlhanMN tells Mehdi about Covid relief. "A possible one-time check of $600," 9 months after struggling Americans received $1,200: "We are not embarrassed enough as leaders."

.@IlhanMN isn't as quick as AOC to blame the shrinking size of Covid relief on Nancy Pelosi. In her negotiations as the Progressive Caucus whip, Omar says, "You get to see a different light of what leadership is doing… The holdup truly is from Republicans."

Myon Burrell was convicted at 16 of a murder he says he didn't commit. MN officials freed him yesterday after 18 years. Sen. Amy Klobuchar's office tried his case in 2002. @IlhanMN now says Klobuchar "should at least give him a call... If an apology is due, she should apologize."

. @IlhanMN is ISIS in lipstick. I’m quoting that from a friend.
Greatest Country in the nation is killing its own economy, starving people, and letting millions die a slow financial death. Yeah, DC Swamp Creatures don't give a damn. Americans, let's make all of them irrelevant.
I don't know of any non-essential workers not working. Everyone I know that was working before the pandemic is still working. I want the $600, $1200 would be even better.
How are cnn and Fox News websites not even MENTIONING this story?

It’s an insult that the GOP doesn’t want to send enough money that will actually help everyone. $600 is a small bandaid.

Americans are worse off now then when many received the $1200 stimulus check and we have Senators on both sides saying this bill is a good compromise. They have to be nuts to believe that. The bill should be even bigger with the scale of this crises and $600 is some B.S.
