Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders This week on the Senate floor Mitch McConnell wants to vote to override Trump's veto of the $740 billion defense funding bill and then head home for the New Year.
I'm going to object until we get a vote on legislation to provide a $2,000 direct payment to the working class.

Was it this bill or the Covid bill that they had slipped the line in overruling Trump’s big executive order from 2018?
A broken analog clock is right twice a day.
Rand MIA on the defense bill? I thought this was his bailiwick? I guess he doesn’t want to cross his fellow Kentuckian?
Yes. Bernie is a socialist, but at least an honest one. And he does appear to have some concern for his constituency.
nothing broke about it, this is consistent with socialist position, aka ‘free money’
Totally unmasked, unlike Kamalama-ding-dong.
The Uniparty stole an election from Sanders, too.
Too bad he doesn’t have the cojones to stand up to it.
I mean since the debt load this country has allowed to grow uncontrolled, it might as well be the Americans who get some of their money back for a change, instead of the money being sent overseas only to be laundered and then funneled back to the crooks robbing the national treasury.
Well I wouldn’t go as far as saying an honest one. He’s doing this for political reasons, not so much for what he is portraying his actions to be, to help the citizens. But I am with him on this, but for totally different reasons.

He’s honest in that he’s a radical socialist and lets everybody know. People in his district are fine with it. Of course, most of them are wealthy folk with vacation homes all over the universe ...but heck...who isn’t?
An honest socialist multimillionaire with 4 houses, who never had a job. Get real.
Just like the last 2.2 trillion and this 2.3 trillion.
Unless you are still THAT naive to thinking even 30 percent of the money the govt spends goes to where it’s going.
Maybe you like seeing foreign countries and politician’s families and corporations steal trillions from the govt.
But you HATE it when it might go to the people
Is McConnell insane? I don’t think so.
So then ...
Oh please. If GOP Senators think it is Free Money then have a vote
and let them go on record and say so.
No voice vote. A roll call vote.
Bernie is just asking for a vote.
I agree. Have a vote.
Just because he is honest doesn’t preclude his being stupid.
Nothing overruling the E.O. still in force and maybe more so as the week progresses.
The Section 230 liability protection for twitter, big tech- removal was not in the Natl Defense Authorization Act— which is the main reason Trump vetoed it. They took it out.
Nothing in any bill about “overruling” the Sept. 2018 E.0, and the National Emergency declared therein.
ROFL! Make him as miserable as possible.
Mitch doesn’t care. He’s used to being attacked. He has the satisfaction of having defeated Trumps MAGA agenda for the most part, and now he’s looking forward to Trump leaving in just a few weeks. After that it will be back to the pre-Trump business as usual. In fact, as the covid bill showed, they’re already back to business as usual, and basically ignoring Trump
