🚨THREAD — we’re on the edge of a cliff...

Republicans ending the federal unemployment aid now would be a disaster. Massive homelessness and hunger. Great Depression levels. Checks stop THIS weekend. The eviction moratorium stops this Friday. A catastrophe in the making.

1
The House passed the HEROES ACT. They’re waiting for the Senate and White House. Per @repjimcooper $5 BILLION has now been pumped into just his district to keep families afloat. It’s insane we’re here days before it runs out with no plan from the republicans.

2
People are blissfully unaware. When they get paltry checks from the state of TN next week, without the federal $600/week, it will be a gut punch. The House passed HEROES almost two months ago.

Call your Senators. When people are evicted starting this weekend, they are to blame. @SenAlexander @MarshaBlackburn

When the checks go from $875/week to $275/week, they are to blame.

As we continue to have testing waits of 7-10 days, their fault.

4
When kids are hungry and parents have no way to feed them because their jobs aren’t back they are to blame.

Massive homelessness. Massive hunger.

It is the most preventable disaster. GOP doesn’t care.

The TN GOP is only worried getting paid too much on Unemployment.
