Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell presented a bill that ties $2,000 per-individual Covid-19 relief checks to the nullification of Section 230, the arrangement of a 1996 law that shields social media platforms from risk for the way that they moderate third party content.
$2000 for our great people, not $600! They have suffered enough from the China Virus!!!

In doing as such, McConnell has likely added a “poison pill” to the work to build the Covid-19 relief checks from the current $600.
Unless Republicans have a death wish, and it is also the right thing to do, they must approve the $2000 payments ASAP. $600 IS NOT ENOUGH! Also, get rid of Section 230 – Don’t let Big Tech steal our Country, and don’t let the Democrats steal the Presidential Election. Get tough! https://t.co/GMotstu7OI

Expanding quantities of Republicans have gotten together with Democrats on the side of the $2,000 checks, after President Donald Trump called for them to be expanded, calling McConnell out to make a type of move in the following week.
