Ocasio-Cortez called on her friends in Congress to back Trump as well.
Let’s do it. @RashidaTlaib and I already co-wrote the COVID amendment for $2,000 checks, so it’s ready to go.
Glad to see the President is willing to support our legislation.
We can pass $2k checks this week if the Senate GOP agrees to stand down. https://t.co/GprwrUPali pic.twitter.com/nFFs1ExqCK

“Let’s do it. @RashidaTlaib and I already co-wrote the COVID amendment for $2,000 checks, so it’s ready to go.
“Glad to see the President is willing to support our legislation. We can pass $2k checks this week if the Senate GOP agrees to stand down.”
President Trump on Tuesday evening said that he would not sign the hard-fought COVID relief bill until Americans were given $2000 stimulus checks instead of the paltry $600.
Trump also demanded that Congress cut the fat from the spending bill, saying that Americans should hold onto American funds and not ship it over seas to try to mend problems in other nations.
In his speech to Americans on Tuesday, Trump slammed Congress for their wasteful spending and refusal to give more aid to US citizens.
“Throughout the summer, Democrats cruelly blocked COVID relief legislation in an effort to advance their extreme left-wing agenda and influence the election.”
“It’s taken forever,” he said. “However, the bill they are now planning to send back to my desk is much different than anticipated. It really is a disgrace.”
This bill contains $85.5 million for assistance to Cambodia, $134 million to Burma, $1.3 billion for Egypt—which will buy almost exclusively Russian military equipment, Trump alleged—$25 million for democracy and gender programs in Pakistan, $505 million to Belize, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Panama.

Stillness in the Storm Editor: Why did we post this?
The news is important to all people because it is where we come to know new things about the world, which leads to the development of more life goals that lead to life wisdom. The news also serves as a social connection tool, as we tend to relate to those who know about and believe the things we do. With the power of an open truth-seeking mind in hand, the individual can grow wise and the collective can prosper.
