14 days after @WHO declared COVID-19 a pandemic, <1k deaths in the U.S. & >50k confirmed cases, the U.S. Senate voted 96-0 on 3-25-20 to approve a $2T relief bill (w/ Payroll Support) – just 3 days after @SenateDems rejected @senatemajldr's #CorporationsFirst $1T bill. 1/
Now nearly 12M cases, over 250k Americans dead, >60M unemployment claims filed, 8 million pushed into poverty, & >100k businesses shuttered, the same exact Senate recessed w/o even hope of relief for Americans destined to die more likely from homelessness than a raging virus 2/
Wake the hell up! The day after Xmas, 12M more will lose access to any unemployment benefits, 30-40 M are at risk of eviction, utilities will be cut off, student loan payments resume, coronavirus paid leave ends, bread lines will grow longer... 3/ https://wapo.st/3fm3bOJ
...cities & states will commence mass layoffs w/ hospitals packed, public transportation crippled, & airlines will have neither the people, planes, nor routes in place to distribute a vaccine. Congress took action in 3 days in March. 4/ https://bit.ly/3nLwihp
Anyone musing politics makes inaction explainable better just resign now & let the patriotic essential workers take the reins. The same exact Senators voted 96-0 for $2T in March & the only difference now is more death in winter than spring. Stop the insanity. #ReliefNow 6/6
