"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."

The leadership defines the system, then if you buy into the system you start to justify its limitations. The Republicans can't stop the House from putting a bill forth. If they had control they would do it over and over again, driving the message home to the public. No excuses.
She is a bold faced liar. Pelosi is the one responsible for stalling the bill she has owned up to it.

I agree with her. She’s on the money with this one.
But the power to do that was based on the first supporting bill where the Repubs got almost everything they wanted (wealth/WallSt saving) and people got a one time $1200. It was too stupid considering how Repubs would react from that point. Beyond stupid. Complicit.

Replying to @MehdiHasanShow
After watching the video, the tweet really is just click bait. We'll like and share it if we think there's a riff between two members of #TheSquad. I'm still surprised @IlhanMN would retweet it.

Call your Representative and tell them $600 isn't enough, and to withhold their vote for Pelosi for Speaker unless and until she brings Medicare For All to the floor for a recorded vote!
@yessitswes see this is the weird thing about Jimmy directing everything at AOC, just because she’s popular doesn’t mean she’s the actual mouthpiece. Call some other people out and I can get more behind this as an ideological fight and not a personal battle
