After a 3 day weekend & 5 days of public statements about all the things they would do to help, McConnell's Senate floated a bill that had few (if any) of the protections that were promised.
1/
The protections they did include had no guarantees, could be overridden by the executive branch, and in some cases didn't require any auditing, transparency, or allow oversight until *after* the 2020 election.
2/
Democrats, predictably, killed the bill as expected, giving the GOP an avenue to shift blame and rewrite history by claiming the Democrats are playing politics and obstructing solutions while people are dying.
3/
In the 9 days that have elapsed while the Senate took their three-day weekend and created a bill they knew wouldn't pass, U.S. Covid-19 cases grew from 2,830 to over 35,000, and U.S. deaths grew from 41 to 419.
4/
To be clear, the problem literally got ten times worse in 9 days, while the Senate GOP set about the vital and difficult work of - making Democrats look bad.
