The evidence we caught on this case is SO AMAZING you'll need to sit down. Which I assume you will be. #GhostNation 10/9c on Trvl Channel! Please RT!

This holiday weekend, let’s be safe and smart. It’s going to take all of us to beat this virus. So wear a mask. Wash your hands. And listen to the experts, not the folks trying to divide us. That's the only way we’ll do this—together. nytimes.com/2020/06/26/at-…

Just to be clear, “targeting” stimulus checks means denying them to some working families who would otherwise receive them.

Imagine being a policymaker in Washington, having witnessed the massive economic, social, and health destruction over the last year, and think that the greatest policy risk we face is providing *too much* relief. Sounds silly, right? $1.9T should be a floor, not a ceiling.

We cannot cut off relief at $50k. It is shockingly out of touch to assert that $50k is “too wealthy” to receive relief. Millions are on the brink of eviction. Give too little and they’re devastated. Give “too much” and a single mom might save for a rainy day. This isn’t hard.

It should be $2000 to begin w/ anyway. Brutally means-testing a $1400 round is going to hurt so many people. THAT is the risk we can’t afford. Income thresholds already work in reverse & lag behind reality. Conservative Dems can ask to tax $ back later if they’re so concerned.

All Dems need for the slam dunk is to do what people elected us to do: help as many people as possible. It’s not hard. Let’s not screw it up with austerity nonsense that squeezes the working class yet never makes a peep when tax cuts for yachts and private jets are proposed.

If conservative Senate Dems institute a lower income threshold in the next round of checks, that could potentially mean the first round of checks under Trump help more people than the first round under Biden. Do we want to do that? No? Then let’s stop playing & just help people.
