The #AmericanRescuePlan funds a nationwide vaccination campaign to speed up the pace of inoculations. Funds will support state and local governments and set up community vaccination centers around the U.S.

The #AmericanRescuePlan mobilizes 100K public health workers — nearly tripling our country’s community health roles — to perform crucial tasks like vaccine outreach & contact tracing.

Biden's #AmericanRescuePlan supercharges testing, treatments, and therapeutics.
It also expands emergency paid leave.
It provides schools with the resources they need to support students (regardless of where they are learning).
/4
Biden's #AmericanRescuePlan gets economic relief into the hands of the Americans who have been hardest hit by the pandemic and the economic fallout, through unemployment assistance and direct payments.
/5
Half-measures won't get us there. The $600B "compromise" bill from Senate Republicans won't supercharge the war against coronavirus or our economic recovery from it.
Call your MOCs and tell them that you want them to pass Biden's #AmericanRescuePlan. This is why we hired him.

We need to create a pathway for red state Senators like Manchin & Sinema to change their minds on this.
That pathway will open as McConnell uses the filibuster to block legislation that America wants.
/1
These 1st few weeks will be crucial. There are key bills that have tremendous national support and should pass.
As @danpfeiffer says, frame this for what it is - a small minority of Senators blocking profoundly popular legislation through an obscure procedural loophole.

Most Americans don't really understand the filibuster. But they dislike the idea of procedural loopholes that are blocking legislation that will help their families.

Right wing thugs intimidated and threatened journalist @_Brian_ICT - for trying to cover their unlawful assembly at the Capitol in Salem, Oregon today.
They tried to storm the Capitol with pistols and rifles in protest of COVID-19 restrictions.
This guy seems nice.
Just before their violent physical assaults on journalists, the right wing extremists literally tried to kick in the door of the Oregon State Capitol in Salem.
We've zeroed in on a batch of House races that are mission-critical - not just for our efforts in 2020, but for 2022. Now is the moment to invest in these campaigns.
There are a lot of toss-up House races this cycle (almost 30) - both GOP-held and Dem-held seats.
Obviously it is critical that we hold the House. Odds are we will. But the *margin* by which we hold the House will be very consequential for our broader agenda. /2
Think ahead to 2022.
Let's assume we're successful this cycle and attain a blue trifecta in the House, Senate & WH. History tells us that we'll be due for huge losses in the House in 2022.
That can't happen. There's too much damage. We need 4 years of complete control.

That can't happen if we want to push forward our agenda. We need four years.
