Ive heard good stuff from Manchin (D-WV) and others today. However, Murphys afternoon speech stopped me in my tracks as he did a good job of describing how broken the republicons priorities and process has been in response to the crisis at hand.

(4,981 posts)Ive loathed their panicked and coercive antics about how we the people who side with fairness/Democrats must accept a bill of solely their liking. Is one that would disproportionately benefit the top 1%. They already gave their wealthy donors handouts with the tax cut bill, and yet, here we are again being asked to fall for another trickle down hustle during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Pay the rich, or you wont get anything essentially boils down to extortion.
