"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."

SHAME ON THEM! MAKE THEM STAY UNTIL THEY AGREE TO A FAIR AMOUNT OF MONEY! PEOPLE ARE BEHIND IN THEIR BILLS. THEY WANT EVERYONE TO BE POOR. DO THEY KNOW HOW THEY LOOK TO OTHER COUNTRIES? OUR GOVERNMENT IS FILLED WITH GREEDY LOSERS.
Yeah, but what's her purpose if all she can do is tell us what we already know? She's feeling quite secure with her six figure income and paid medical insurance.
