Blah blah blah

@SenSchumer
We voted no on the McConnell-GOP bill because among other problems it includes huge bailouts without protections for people and workers and without accountability, and because it shortchanges our hospitals and healthcare workers who need our help.
These changes need to be made.

I'm so glad we have such mature leaders ready to step up, work respectfully and civilly with the opposing party, and help us through this crisis.

[No BS factor].
Our Speaker has a big hammer, especially right now. Schumer gave the quote, Pelosi the muscle.

(46,756 posts)9. I wish these tweets could be reworded. Find the shocking fact that
will help it stand out. Instead of saying "huge bailouts without accountability," be more specific. Something like, they want to dispense XTrillions of dollars to unknown corporations without having to divulge the information for six months. Put it in a way where the average person could say, shit, there's all kinds of wrong with that.
