People For Member,
Nearly a week before the Thanksgiving holiday, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell gaveled the Senate out to recess without holding a vote on additional coronavirus relief.
Do you know what the Republican-controlled Senate did instead just before they left? They voted to confirm FIVE MORE of Trump's judicial nominees!
This egregious abdication of their responsibility to provide much-needed relief to the American people cannot be ignored, we must hold them accountable!
Mitch McConnell has had a coronavirus relief bill on his desk since May that has done nothing but collect dust while THOUSANDS more have contracted or died from COVID-19.
And even after it's been clear that Trump lost his bid for re-election, rather than pass measures that would benefit the American people during the presidential transition, Mitch McConnell instead advances a Republican wish list to extend their far right takeover of our federal judiciary.
This should outrage everyone to their core. Not only is McConnell's Republican-controlled Senate flatly ignoring the immediate needs of millions of people across the country, they are deliberately causing lasting harm to our courts by confirming nominees who have little to no experience other than their willingness to affirm the extreme agenda of the Republican Party.
Thanks for all that you do,
– Zach, People For the American Way
