Bill Scher: The one substantive argument I've heard from anyone is that the wealthiest families shouldn't get stimulus money. Rick: I don't think Jeff Bezos or Warren Buffet need it. I think the limit is $150,000.

Greg Regan: It's obvious the strengths the unions have is the safety they've brought to their members, & we want to offer that to all workers.

Joe Sanberg: Call your Senators & keep up the pressure--tell them to pass a higher minimum wage.

Bob Ney: Since there are unresolved impeachment issues, it would be within the right of the WH to freeze info going out. It's best the WH just suspends it till they decide which path they want to pursue.

Scott Dworkin: They're going to choose early on in the trial whether or not they're going to convict. They'll know what information is going to be presented.

@funder

@TheDemCoalition

Dean Baker: The question is whether they're giving advice on their honest opinion or if they're giving advice based on kickbacks.

@ceprdc

Colleen Shaddox: I interviewed one man for my book who kept telling me, "I'm a good man. I'm a good man." Of course he is, why would I think otherwise?

Bob Ney: The Congress is in absolute, total chaos, for various reasons. The White House is perfectly calm. They've put out some executive order policies & doing what they need to do with COVID. Thank goodness Congress isn't all armed, let's put it that way.

Jeff Hauser: A transaction tax makes going in & out of trades basically worthless. High frequency trading is a worthless use of our economy. It's gross, wasteful, promotes instability.

@CEPRDC

Frances Holmes: If you're a fast food worker & you're not already involved with the Fight for $15, please get involved. We need at least 20% of the store to get a union. C'mon, y'all, get on board--we need a union! Get involved!

Sarah Burris: Marjorie Taylor Greene hasn't taken responsibility for comments made on her social media acct. She blames it on her social media team.

@SarahBurris

@RawStory

Dave Cann: So far we've seen total disregard from these agencies for the executive orders signed by President Biden; Biden will need to put some muscle behind his orders.
