Senator Roger Wicker, Republican of Mississippi, tweeted approvingly just hours after the stimulus bill passed about the $28.6 billion included for “targeted relief” for restaurants. His post did not mention that he had voted no. nyti.ms/2PTIktC
NEWS: John Fetterman statement on Senate voting down a $15 min wage: “Every Senator who voted against a $15 min wage today should be forced to live on $7.25 an hour. While these Senators sit comfortably in DC making $174,000 a year, millions of Americans are struggling"
Today, I filed a civil claim against Donald Trump, Donald Trump Jr., Rudolph Giuliani, and Rep. Mo Brooks for inciting an attack against the Capitol that terrorized lawmakers and prevented us from certifying the votes of the American people. My statement:
More than 200,000 Americans have signed up for Affordable Care Act health plans during the first two weeks of the special enrollment period. Visit healthcare.gov if you still need to get covered! tinyurl.com/c6emnfw
Not one single Republican voted for the COVID relief bill. This bill included $1400 stimulus checks, aid to small business owners and support to local, state governments. Republicans don’t care about you or your struggles. They only care about the 1% PPP loans #wednesdaythought

Billboard in Alabama has a message from Martin Luther King Jr. to Jeff Bezos and Amazon (h/t @DamonSilvers ) Here's some background on the unionization drive at Amazon>> “We see this campaign as much as a civil rights struggle as a labor struggle.” theguardian.com/technology/202…
In a home run for the unionization effort at Amazon, the Major League Baseball Players Association urges Amazon's workers in Alabama to vote yes for a union. The baseball players union says Amazon workers "deserve a meaningful voice in determining their working conditions."
So let me get this straight: essential workers are essential to keeping the economy going, but it's not essential to pay them a living wage?
Current labor law is the problem. The PRO Act is the solution. Great chart from @EconomicPolicy Institute breaking down the loopholes in labor law and how the PRO Act closes them. epi.org/publication/pr…
Friday @JessicaforRI and I met with Zambrano Administrators, Union officials and @LGDanMcKee to discuss the hospitals future in Burrillville. The Senator and I agree with union officials that the administration is in the process of conducting a “shadow close” of the hospital..
A big shout out to @ProvFirefighter, @CityofProv Emergency Mgt, John Hope Settlement House, volunteers at the City's vaccination center on 2/25. Everything ran smoothly from parking to check-in, to administering shots, to scheduling 2nd shots. Retirees and seniors are grateful.
