"The $1.9 trillion bill being billed by Dems as "COVID relief" is a bad bill. Sadly, it will likely become law -- without any meaningful input/support from Republicans or the millions of Americans we represent. @SenateGOP even tried to improve the bill. Some changes Dems rejected:"

"Protect Americans from having their tax dollars used to pay for abortions.
(Special character) Rejected by Dems"

"Encourage schools to get kids back in the classroom by tying extra funding to schools reopening (a change completely in line with the advice of experts who've said again & again that kids need to get back to school).
(Special character) Rejected by Dems"

"Support non-public schools that have gone above and beyond to get kids into the classroom where they can learn properly in-person.
(Special character) Rejected by Dems"

"Stop labor unions from taking COVID relief loan money intended for American small businesses.
(Special character) Rejected by Dems"

"Require greater transparency on nursing home COVID-19 deaths.
(Special character) Rejected by Dems
(presumably in an attempt to protect Gov. Cuomo who's under fire for falsifying nursing home data)"

"Address President Biden's unscientific decision to cancel the #KeystoneXL pipeline, stripping 10,000+ Americans of their jobs.
(Special character) Rejected by Dems"

"Dems rejected these GOP amendments & many more. For over 11 hrs, Republicans fought to improve this bill - Dems blocked everything.

Dems did make some of their own changes:

Encourage Americans to stay unemployed by making unemployment benefits tax-free.
(Special character) Approved by Dems"
