| Tell the Senate: We need COVID relief, NOW! Stop confirming judges for a 2-time loser and pass legislation to address the COVID crisis. | Friend, While Senate Republicans refuse to admit that Joe Biden is our President-elect, and Donald Trump pursues frivolous lawsuits, the pandemic is worse than ever. Since the election, there have been more than 100,000 new cases per day, every day, and deaths are poised to cross 2,000 per day soon. Americans have been forced to end social distancing as economic relief expired. This may have made the economic numbers look better leading up to the election, but tens of thousands will be killed by this decision. The House of Representatives passed a bill to extend unemployment aid and provide another round of $1200 checks back in May, but what have Senate Republicans done since? Continued to confirm unqualified judges to lifetime appointments while ignoring the pandemic. Tell the Senate: The election is over, and the crisis is worse than ever it's time to stop playing games and pass necessary COVID relief! Donald Trump, a President now twice rejected by the majority of Americans, has nevertheless packed our courts with unqualified partisan judges. This is as true of the lower courts―where 1 in 4 sitting judges is now a Trump appointee―as it is of the Supreme Court, where 3 Trumpists have precipitated a hard-right shift that will take decades to undo. People are suffering, and all Mitch McConnell is doing about it is confirming hail mary passes in the hopes of getting a court to look favorably on one of Trump's nuisance suits about voter fraud. Meanwhile, winter is coming, the pandemic is worse than ever, and evictions are starting. Lives are literally on the line. Tell the Senate to take action TODAY on meaningful COVID relief! Thanks, Mike Phelan Progress America |
