I really do not know what more the Democrats were supposed to do. Besides capitulate to McConnell's #LicenseToKill liability waivers which @RepKatiePorter have so correctly called out as unacceptable poison. https://twitter.com/MonicaLewinsky/status/1336521247924998144

I mean, I have a LOT of criticisms about how Pelosi and the others have poorly represented the issue in the press (SO MANY CRITICISMS) but at the end of the day they cannot magically pass a clean bill if Mitch won't let them.

Republicans: "We won't pass any covid aid unless you give corporations a free pass to Hunger Games their own employees."

Democrats: "What??? No. What the fuck."

Twitter: "Both sides have failed us."

(Pelosi, failing to explain the issue to the cameras: "The thing about Hunger Games is that I was always a Katniss/Gale girl and while KatPee is a valid ship, it just wasn't MINE, you know? Anyway, what was the question?")

Good thread here. Katie Porter needs to be our PR person from now on. She's *great* at communication and explaining things. https://twitter.com/RepKatiePorter/status/1336484551783194624
