Little Marco Rubio Shredded On Twitter For Bashing Fauci — After Getting COVID-19 Vaccine
He hasn’t called out Donald Trump’s misinformation about the coronavirus, but he has criticized advice from the nation’s top infectious disease expert.

Republicans Threaten To Deny $2,000 Checks To Their Own Constituents
House Republicans and Senate Leader Mitch McConnell represent voters who are disproportionately struggling — and yet they may block $2,000 survival checks

... the antics of House Republicans and McConnell illustrate how — despite all of America’s paens to democracy — lawmakers ostensibly elected to represent us will routinely stomp on their own constituents.

Of course, constituents are barely part of the media narrative anymore. Indeed, if you read national news, you will almost never see a mention of whom exactly these Republicans are supposed to be representing.

For example, you will not see any mention of the fact that, according to research from AFL-CIO political director Michael Podhorzer, the majority of lawmakers in the House Republican Conference come from districts in the bottom two income quintiles — meaning their constituents would particularly benefit from the $2,000 checks.

McConnell’s role in this debacle cannot be overstated: Had he already signed onto the plan to increase the direct payments in the COVID deal, it would probably be a done deal — but so far he has been reticent, as millions of Americans are struggling to survive.

Among those millions struggling to survive are hundreds of thousands of people in McConnell’s own state of Kentucky — which is one of the poorest in the country. As such, it would particularly benefit from the $2,000 survival checks.

As McConnell plays coy in Washington, his state is becoming a Dickensian nightmare. More than 700,000 Kentuckians live below the federal poverty line.

...yet these constituents continue to vote against their own self-interest. No doubt thanks to their fealty to the propaganda of Reich-wing media...

An excerpt from today's twitterings

Unless Republicans have a death wish, and it is also the right thing to do, they must approve the $2000 payments ASAP. $600 IS NOT ENOUGH! Also, get rid of Section 230 - Don’t let Big Tech steal our Country, and don’t let the Democrats steal the Presidential Election. Get tough!

Ssooo, what will they do, what will they do

Won't getting rid of 230 leave Brietbart and Parler and all that exposed too? I think I'm for it!

McConnell, before Senate adjournment, started the Rule 14 process to get 2 bills onto the calendar - the House-passed $2,000 bill and:

"S.5085, to increase the additional 2020 recovery rebates, to repeal section 230 of the Communications Act of 1934, and for other purposes."

From the article: "Rubio became one of the first Americans to receive a vaccine against COVID-19, getting a shot ahead of many elderly Americans, first responders and health care workers who have a far greater risk of contracting the disease."

I'm thinking coward.

The section 230 thing continues to just make me laugh...repealing section 230 would be a disaster for Trump. It would mean his tweets would be taken down left and right. Same for many of his supporters.

All of the talk about censorship? Wait til section 230 goes.

The Reich-wing idiots have NO IDEA the can of worms this would open. Their propaganda and blatant lies would be banished instantly.

Hey McConnell: PLEASE don't repeal section 230! Please oh
please oh please or please! You and hang me, you can drown me, you can beat me with hickory sticks and shoot me with shotguns, but DON'T repeal section 230. Anything but that! Please! ANYTHING BUT THAT....
