The Senate, after some clowning, finally passed the huge COVID relief bill.
It is going to help MILLIONS OF AMERICANS.
And never forget.
NONE OF THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN POSSIBLE WITHOUT WINNING THOSE TWO SENATE SEATS IN GEORGIA.πππ
What’s in it?
Let’s see.
A morning thread on the American Rescue Plan. There are a number of outcomes from this legislation that have gotten less attention, but will change a lot of lives:

It expands healthcare coverage:
– By making healthcare more affordable, it will reduce the number of uninsured by at least 1.3 million by next year.
— Brian Deese (@briandeeseNEC) March 7, 2021
– This will put money in the pockets of 17m low income workers, incl the 6m people who the federal tax system taxes deeper into poverty bc of a low EITC.
– The occupations with most workers who would benefit: cashiers, food preparers, servers, and home health aides
— Brian Deese (@briandeeseNEC) March 7, 2021
It makes major progress on housing assistance:
– $27.4b in rental assistance
– $10b in homeowner assistance
– $5b in Section 8 housing vouchers
– $5b in homelessness assistance

Stacey Abrams & other Black Dem orgs mobilized Black, POC, and young voters in GA to give us 2 Dem senators & a 1.9 tril relief bill for Americans!
Repubs & progressives tried to block a bill that will cut child poverty in half.
Iβm a proud DEMOCRAT today & everyday!

Just to be clear, the Senate did not pass Covid relief. The Democrats in the Senate passed Covid relief. Republicans did nothing but delay and obstruct. After increasing the Federal debt $7T under Trump in a growing economy, their claims of cost are laughable.

SNAP and WIC got a boost too, so if you were on the boundaries of eligibility for either program APPLY again. And if you qualify AT ALL you get the **maximum* for your family size regardless of income. Theyβre not doing the tiered eligibility.

And, ICYMI,
We give Chuck Schumer a lot of grief. But, when he pulls off slick moves like this, give him his props.ππ

“THE FIRM” I love the tile. If folks aren’t familiar with this title, watch the John Grishim movie or read the book with said title.
