-A group of progressive Democrats recently sent a letter to congressional leaders urging them to include $2,000 stimulus checks in the next coronavirus relief package.
-The group included Reps. Ro Khanna, Katie Porter, Ilhan Omar, and Rashida Tlaib.
-Calls are mounting in Congress, particularly among Democrats, to include direct payments in the next relief package.

As long as McConnell controls the Senate, they'll never pass anything that helps the middle and lower class.

So many system failures, too. People are really struggling.

This. Never happen. It seems we aren't even going to get the $1200 like in the Spring. As a single low income woman living nassau/queens border, $2000 would be an absolute God send to me right now.

Senate Majority Whip John Thune, R-S.D., told reporters Wednesday the proposal would likely include direct checks to individuals of $600 to $700, about half the size of the payments included in the previous stimulus package that Congress passed.

What a laughable stimulus check, that'll literally help no American. Our country truly has no idea to help its own citizens.

1200 is laughable. I got 4500 here. I can probably get the stimulus, but I didn’t bother because I don’t live there.

ETA - "This" meaning the $600 or $700 that is in the compromise bill.
This is peanuts, particularly when you consider the loss of state and local aid.
McConnell will do anything to punish the very same blue states that fill Kentucky's coffers.
The emperor has no clothes at this point. It's just so blatant.
