Josh Hawley and Bernie Sanders have joined up to try to get working families some cash:

I’ll say again, working families ought to be FIRST for #COVID19 relief, not last. That’s why I’ve joined ⁦@SenSanders⁩ in legislation to provide direct assistance to every working family that needs it. The Senate must vote on this before Christmas pic.twitter.com/gzokNoLZOv

Rep. Katie Porter wants everyone possible to know a particular point about the stimulus bill:

We should prioritize workers, not large corporations. Yet, Mitch McConnell is fighting tooth and nail to let corporations off the hook if their workers get COVID-19 on the job, and he’s holding pandemic relief hostage at the expense of millions in the process. (1/5)

McConnell is claiming this policy is to help small businesses, but there’s already an existing legal standard to protect businesses that are acting reasonably: negligence. The Senate wants to wipe this away and let corporations off the hook for endangering workers. (2/5)

The reality is that corporate immunity would give companies the green light to put profits before people. We’ve already seen evidence of this life-threatening behavior, including right here in Orange County. (3/5)https://t.co/noA8IZj62r

46 workers got sick following a COVID-19 outbreak at an @ATT call center in our district. Two tragically passed away, but AT&T took no responsibility and failed to answer my questions about how they’d improve. (4/5)https://t.co/8Q77sORsr1

Mitch McConnell’s plan would let @ATT and other corporations get away with failing to protect their workers—and frankly, our entire community—during a public health emergency. It’s immoral, and we can’t stand for it. (5/5)

Excellent! Finally some unity. Against Mitch McConnell, the last remaining turtle of the prehistoric age.

Hawley is also fantastic. He is an idea machine. He has expressed willingness to work with people like AOC as well.

Although, to be frank and honest, not everyone is a fan.

GO, RUN WITH IT while he's
