Kevin Brady says he opposes $2,000 checks because it would go toward people paying down credit card debt or making “new purchases online at Wal-Mart, Best Buy or Amazon.” Funny, how people spent money didn't seem to be a huge concern when Republicans passed their tax cut bill.

Look at the coronavirus protocols for pro athletes (tests every other day, temperature checks twice a day, group quarantining). Then look at the protocols for schools (handwashing, stay home if you’re sick). Imagine if we valued the lives of teachers the same as MLB shortstops.

The reason you keep seeing people dunk on Marco Rubio for his John Lewis-Elijah Cummings mixup is because it’s part of a broader GOP phenomenon of publicly grieving Lewis’s death while largely being a stranger and opponent to his politics. We all sense it. Rubio just defined it.
