Brown promoting his legislative language as part of the #NDAA (which passed the House) to make it easier to root out the source of money — shell companies — that fund drug operations nationwide.
Brown warning against a presidential veto. @realDonaldTrump has threatened to do so because the #NDAA contains no language to repeal section 230 regarding protections for big social media companies.
Brown says a person like @RepMarciaFudge should have no problem being confirmed to @JoeBiden’s cabinet, unless @senatemajldr Mitch McConnell decides to wholesale hold up cabinet appointments.
Brown says he’s “troubled” by the police shooting of Casey Goodson in Columbus.
Notes that the family says Goodson was shot in the back — but “the autopsy has got to be complete; it’s got to be public; the Sheriff, the office should not hold information back from the public.”

Brown on distributing COVID resources to VA hospitals across the country: “One of the reasons we’re 20% of the world’s deaths is because the President never took leadership...I don’t want states competing, I want a formal so every state and VA hospital is treated equally.”
More: “I think states are equipped, if they have a few more dollars. Right now we’re pressuring @senatemajldr McConnell... Gov. DeWine has designated these centers to receive vaccines and get them out. I think we know how to do it, it’s a question of having resources to do it.”
Brown: “There’s a bipartisan (COVID aid) bill that’s been negotiated (in the Senate)...Sen. McConnell should put this bill on the floor. Right now, he continues put out a Republican bill.
I want to be in Cleveland for Xmas, but we need to stay here until this is done”.

Brown on why @senatemajldr would hold up agreement: “McConnell has said that half the Republicans in the Senate don’t think we should spend another $ on this...they just don’t want to spend the money & think the private sector will fix this. The private sector can’t fix this...”
(cont’d): “You need public dollars for unemployment, you need public dollars for schools to re-open safely...(small businesses) say they’re worse off now than in the spring (before the CARES Act).”
Brown thinks the bipartisan bill in the Senate would get 70-75 votes in the Senate, and pass the House.
Brown on $1200 checks: “It stands nowhere now.
I’m fine with (doing it again). I like what we did back in April: we did the $1200 check, we did the $600 unemployment benefit...and as a result, the economy was not terrible.
I’d like to see a very similar package.”
