"We know we need another COVID relief bill to help struggling families & keep local govts from having to lay off firefighters, teachers, & EMTs. The House passed the #HEROESAct to provide this much-needed emergency assistance. It's been sitting on Sen. McConnell's desk ever since."

"Republican Senators love to criticize the House bill, but what have Senate Rs proposed in response? Nothing.

Instead, they vow to continue blocking emergency COVID relief funding to states and local communities unless corporations get sweeping federal liability immunity."

"Instead of giving sweetheart immunity deals to corporations, Republicans should work with Democrats to strengthen workplace safety. The last thing we need is for more Americans to get sick because corporations are not doing their part to take reasonable precautions."
