5. “The 2010s were a lost decade when it comes to ameliorating climate change. As we head into the 2020s, we need to move forward very fast,” @BankofAmerica's Haim Israel said.
On November 10, Bank of America's corporate PAC donated $5,000 to Perdue.
2. McConnell is interested in a new COVID relief package which could be because he suddenly cares about the economic condition of working people OR it could be that Perdue and Loeffler are both running on additional COVID relief and he needs one to win
3. But McConnell's proposal is more about saying Republicans support more relief than meeting human needs. Millions of people face eviction in 2021 but McConnell's proposal contains no money for rent support and no extension of the eviction moratorium
1. It's December in the middle of a deadly pandemic which has brought significant chunks of the economy to a halt and we are still allowing people to be evicted.
2. A study by public health researchers found that "lifting [eviction] moratoriums amounted to an estimated 433,700 excess cases and 10,700 excess deaths" between March 13 and September 3."
3. The CDC issued an "eviction moratorium" in September but it's full of holes. Tenants have to fill out a declaration to qualify and many don't even know about it. And it doesn't come with any rent support. So it's creating a bigger problem for January.
3. Warnock spoke a few minutes after Loeffler and basically anticipated her heel turn. He knew she was saying nice things at his church that day but that things would change.
