"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."

And every CEO, Rich Billionaires and Millionaires and every American and Politicians know 300 dollars a week will not stop middle class and poor families from being evicted from their homes. 300 dollars is used to pay to internet companies so they can find jobs on line.

Absurd to think these paltry payments allow us to survive and keep our families safe. Food and shelter are now a luxury afforded to those who were lucky enough to be “essential workers”. And we all know their jobs have brought death to their families.

Republicans do not currently and never did care at all for the Average American. Why do people continue to vote them in?

Does Omar have a money tree out back? Last time i looked they were taking my hard earned money and happily giving it away. Socialism is a disease and it will bleed hard working Americans dry

How right she is. Congress, every last one of them, should be embarrassed that they exist folks to live of $1200 over 8 months and are now talking about halving that. Beyond shameful.

Tell me about it. I’m sure the wealthy got more than their fair share of “relief” tho, you can always count on that.

US should be embarrassed. A one time stimulus is not going to move the economy in the right direction. A monthly payments, until the pandemic is over will. US need to follow other countries lead in taking care of their citizens.
