( William DiPuccio ) Undergirding the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution is a set of philosophical principles that are under assault by Progressives .
These founding principles , derived mostly from the Federalist Papers , provide the lens through which we read and understand the Constitution .
Without this lens , the meaning of the Constitution and American law becomes putty in the hands of every special interest group .

Inalienable Rights .
The assault on America ’ s Founding Principles begins by dismantling the inalienable rights upon which our nation is built .
An attack on these rights , which are endowed by God rather than the state , is an attack on our entire constitutional system .
The first inalienable right , according to the Declaration of Independence , is the right to life — the right to exist .

Liberty .
American liberties include freedom of religion ; freedom of speech ( and , yes , that includes hate speech ) ; freedom of the press ; and the right to bear arms .
The principle of liberty restrains government power , preventing it from unduly interfering with or denying our divinely endowed freedoms .
Except where authorized by citizens through the Constitution , government does not have the authority to limit these @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Accordingly , every action of government should strive to protect liberty and should be weighed by this principle .
But we find an opposing inertia at work on the left .
Progressivism commences with an authoritarian , regulatory-minded impulse that restrains the freedom of citizens .
Government power is used reflexively to limit personal freedoms by regulating businesses , markets , consumption , education , speech , religious conscience , etc .
All of this is necessary , according to Progressives , to create a “ just society.
” Examples of this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ( which severely limits religious freedoms in order to accommodate LGBTQ “ rights ” ) ; the Affordable Care Act ( which attempted to force religious ministries and schools to cover the insurance cost of abortion-inducing birth control drugs ) ; federal zoning laws ( which are intended to destroy the suburbs by merging them with large cities ) ; onerous gun control legislation ; and the relentless attempts on social media , in corporations , and on college campuses to limit or deny the free speech of conservative speakers .
In all @ @ @ @ @ @ @ achieve a “ just society ” is valued by Progressivism above free thinking , individual liberty , conscience , and self-determination .
This stands in stark opposition to the goal of the Founders , which was to minimize government interference in our daily lives — the right to be left alone — allowing us to pursue our own happiness .
Private Property .
“ Government is instituted to protect property of every sort , ” said James Madison , including conscience , “ the most sacred of all property.
” The founding principle @ @ @ @ @ @ @ real estate .
It encompasses the natural rights of all individuals to create , obtain , and control their possessions , beliefs , faculties , and opinions , as well as the fruits of their labor ( Fourth and Fifth Amendments ) .
Progressivism subordinates the protection of private property to the goals of social and economic equality and environmental justice .
Equal outcomes , or “ equity , ” as it is often called , can be achieved only by reallocating wealth through centralized planning and control , government coercion , confiscation @ @ @ @ @ @ @ economic freedom .
One of the primary vehicles for achieving these goals is excessive taxation , which is used to redistribute wealth through massive federal programs .
* Though Progressives are not seeking to abolish private property outright , they believe that their vision of a just society warrants government confiscation of private wealth and property to whatever degree is necessary to implement “ economic justice.
” Effectively , the purpose of government is to appropriate private property rather than to protect it .
Not only do these policies violate the natural right @ @ @ @ @ @ @ history has shown , attempts to heavily regulate and control businesses and markets , and to redistribute wealth through taxation , end in widespread poverty , shortages , and even starvation ( e.g.
, the Soviet Union , Cuba , China , Venezuela , etc. )

The lesson is clear : tyranny grows in proportion to power , threatening individual liberty .

Progressivism seeks to replace the founding principles with a new set of doctrines based on the tenets of social justice — a system which elevate the rights of “protected classes” (non-whites, LGBTQ, women, etc.) by subordinating the rest of society. This so-called “just society” is not the kinder, gentler America that Progressives promise, but a dystopia where the rights of the many are trampled, dissenters are punished, and government has nearly unlimited power and scope. The examples that follow are selected from my recent eBook, The War on America’s Founding Principles: How Progressives Are Dismantling America One Plank at a Time.
Inalienable Rights. The assault on America’s Founding Principles begins by dismantling the inalienable rights upon which our nation is built. An attack on these rights, which are endowed by God rather than the state, is an attack on our entire constitutional system. The first inalienable right, according to the Declaration of Independence, is the right to life — the right to exist. Legalized abortion on demand, which Progressives promote with fanatical zeal, is a complete rejection of this inalienable right. Progressives have further embraced this rejection by elevating abortion access to a fundamental human right and insisting that the government fund abortions. Ironically, this renders government, which is charged with protecting inalienable rights, complicit in violating the inalienable rights of the most powerless members of our society.
Abortion is the first logical step in demolishing the American system of rights in order to construct a Progressive society with new rights, focused almost exclusively on protected classes. A philosophy draconian enough to seize the most fundamental right from the innocent without due process will not hesitate to curtail or confiscate other rights, even if they are guaranteed under the Constitution.
Liberty. American liberties include freedom of religion; freedom of speech (and, yes, that includes hate speech); freedom of the press; and the right to bear arms. The principle of liberty restrains government power, preventing it from unduly interfering with or denying our divinely endowed freedoms. Except where authorized by citizens through the Constitution, government does not have the authority to limit these freedoms (Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments). Accordingly, every action of government should strive to protect liberty and should be weighed by this principle.
But we find an opposing inertia at work on the left. Progressivism commences with an authoritarian, regulatory-minded impulse that restrains the freedom of citizens. Government power is used reflexively to limit personal freedoms by regulating businesses, markets, consumption, education, speech, religious conscience, etc. All of this is necessary, according to Progressives, to create a “just society.”
Examples of this authoritarian impulse include the House-approved Equality Act (which severely limits religious freedoms in order to accommodate LGBTQ “rights”); the Affordable Care Act (which attempted to force religious ministries and schools to cover the insurance cost of abortion-inducing birth control drugs); federal zoning laws (which are intended to destroy the suburbs by merging them with large cities); onerous gun control legislation; and the relentless attempts on social media, in corporations, and on college campuses to limit or deny the free speech of conservative speakers.
In all of these examples, forced conformity to achieve a “just society” is valued by Progressivism above free thinking, individual liberty, conscience, and self-determination. This stands in stark opposition to the goal of the Founders, which was to minimize government interference in our daily lives — the right to be left alone — allowing us to pursue our own happiness.
Private Property. “Government is instituted to protect property of every sort,” said James Madison, including conscience, “the most sacred of all property.” The founding principle of private property is not limited to real estate. It encompasses the natural rights of all individuals to create, obtain, and control their possessions, beliefs, faculties, and opinions, as well as the fruits of their labor (Fourth and Fifth Amendments).
Progressivism subordinates the protection of private property to the goals of social and economic equality and environmental justice. Equal outcomes, or “equity,” as it is often called, can be achieved only by reallocating wealth through centralized planning and control, government coercion, confiscation of private property, and limiting individual economic freedom.
One of the primary vehicles for achieving these goals is excessive taxation, which is used to redistribute wealth through massive federal programs.* Though Progressives are not seeking to abolish private property outright, they believe that their vision of a just society warrants government confiscation of private wealth and property to whatever degree is necessary to implement “economic justice.” Effectively, the purpose of government is to appropriate private property rather than to protect it.
Not only do these policies violate the natural right of private property, but, as history has shown, attempts to heavily regulate and control businesses and markets, and to redistribute wealth through taxation, end in widespread poverty, shortages, and even starvation (e.g., the Soviet Union, Cuba, China, Venezuela, etc.).
Limited Government. The principle of limited government maintains that citizens are best able to pursue happiness when government is confined to those powers that protect their life, liberty, and property. History is littered with innumerable examples of “absolute Despotism,” to use the words of the Declaration of Independence. The lesson is clear: tyranny grows in proportion to power, threatening individual liberty. The Founders had a realistic understanding of the human condition and its tendency toward corruption and control. “It will not be denied,” warned James Madison, “that power is of an encroaching nature and that it ought to be effectually restrained from passing the limits assigned to it” (Federalist 48).
Progressivism, on the other hand, originates from an entirely different set of assumptions regarding government power. Progressives, as evidenced by their compulsive dependency on government, maintain that government should be as large and as powerful as necessary to implement social, economic, and environmental justice. The government, especially at the federal level, is viewed as the first resort in resolving social and economic problems such as health care, education, unemployment, housing, poverty, and the environment.
The Green New Deal, which will cost trillions of dollars, is the largest, most expensive proposed government expansion in history. It would use federal control to restructure utilities, transportation, infrastructure, agriculture, society, and the economy. Similar proposals include taxpayer-funded health care, taxpayer-funded childcare, taxpayer-funded college education (at state colleges), a minimum guaranteed income, slavery reparations, and even taxpayer-funded internet service. These programs promote an uncontrollable dependency on government that is diametrically opposed to the Founders’ vision of America.
The fatal flaw in the Progressive project is not just the expansion of government with its 430-plus federal agencies, but the failure to connect this growing government power with increasing tyranny. Progressivism has no limiting principle to restrain the growth of government because government is regarded as a benign agent of the people. But this is a naïve delusion. As we have already seen, a number of our constitutional rights are in jeopardy as government inches toward authoritarianism. Innumerable examples across the globe, especially from socialist and former socialist countries, also give proof to the Founders’ belief that tyranny and corruption always grow in proportion to power.
Though Progressives, like most Americans, believe they are defending and preserving our democracy, they are actually undermining and replacing American democracy with something radically and dangerously different. The threat extends far beyond the principles of limited government, private property, liberty, and inalienable rights. Progressivism, in its relentless attempt to delegitimize our historical foundations, also endangers the rule of law, due process, consent of the governed, and federalism, among other principles, as explained in my book. This sweeping demolition of our founding principles renders Progressivism the most dangerous existential threat America has faced since the Civil War.

stillnessinthestorm--2020-12-31--Josh Hawley Is First Us Senator to Say He Will Object to Electoral College Certification

( Chris Pandolfo ) Sen. Josh Hawley ( R-Mo . )
on Wednesday became the first U.S. senator to declare his intention to object to the Electoral College certification on Jan. 6 .
Hawley will object to the certification of the Electoral College votes from Pennsylvania and other states that he says failed to follow their own election laws .
Hawley will also call for Congress to launch an investigation into allegations of voter fraud and other election irregularities made by President Donald Trump ’ s campaign “ Following both the 2004 and 2016 elections , Democrats in Congress objected @ @ @ @ @ @ @ order to raise concerns about election integrity .
They were praised by Democratic leadership and the media when they did .
And they were entitled to do so .
But now those of us concerned about the integrity of this election are entitled to do the same , ” Hawley said in a news statement .
I can not cote to certify the electoral college results on January 6 without raising the fact that some states , particularly Pennsylvania , failed to follow their own state election laws .
And I can not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ unprecedented effort of mega corporations , including Facebook and Twitter , to interfere in this election , in support of Joe Biden .
At the very least , Congress should investigate allegations of voter fraud and adopt measures to secure the integrity of our elections .
But Congress has so far failed to act .
For these reasons , I will follow the same practice Democrat members of Congress have in years past and object during the certification process on January 6 to raise these critical issues .
By officially announcing his intention @ @ @ @ @ @ @ College votes , Hawley has all but assured that the process will be bogged down by debate in Congress and guaranteed that Republicans will face a tough vote on whether to accept the election results .
Several Republican members of the House of Representatives , led by Rep. Mo Brooks ( R-Ala. ) , have already announced they will object when Congress moves to officially certify the Electoral College votes from several contested battleground states where the Trump campaign ’ s legal team and its allies have made allegations of election irregularities .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ , they will trigger several hours of debate in a joint session of Congress in the House chamber .
At the end of the debate , the House and Senate will vote on whether to accept the results from Pennsylvania and other disputed states , forcing several GOP senators to choose between supporting President Trump ’ s unproved claims of voter fraud or respecting the certified election results of these states .

stillnessinthestorm--2020-12-31--The Top 10 Suppressed News Stories of 2020 | RealClearPolitics

( Frank Miele ) Back in the day , when I was managing editor at the Daily Inter Lake in Kalispell , Mont.
, I enjoyed the end-of-year ritual of voting in the Associated Press ’ s poll of the Top 10 news stories .
Related The 7 Censorship Tactics ‘ Big Tech ’ Uses to Control the Flow of Information When I started participating in the year 2000 , my list would include many of the same stories that made the final AP list , although often with differences in ranking .
But by the time I retired in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ had sharply diverged from the AP ’ s consensus view .
I ’ d become something of a gadfly by then , questioning what seemed to be an ever more transparent left-leaning bias in mainstream reporting .
That divergence was probably magnified by the 2016 candidacy of Donald Trump and the bright light he had shined on Fake News , but my disenchantment with my profession had been growing for years , as chronicled in my book “ The Media Matrix : What If Everything You Know Is Fake ?
” Still , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ recently as four years ago I would have predicted just how abysmally irresponsible the media would become by 2020 .
Major newspapers are winning Pulitzer Prizes for blatantly false reporting on topics such as “ Russian collusion.
” Meanwhile , Silicon Valley oligarchs have appointed themselves censors — warning the American people not to read or watch anything that hasn ’ t been “ fact-checked ” by their hand-picked thought police .
The situation has gotten so bad that it ’ s no longer worth ranking the top news stories of the year @ @ @ @ @ @ @ news and so much that is news is written off as a “ conspiracy theory.
” That ’ s why I ’ m introducing Heartland Diary USA ’ s first annual presentation of “ Last Chance to Wake Up and Smell the News They Tried to Kill.
” So here are five of the biggest suppressed stories of 2020 .
Pardon me if I don ’ t go into great detail on them , but the closer I get to the truth , the more likely that Google , Twitter and Facebook will @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ) Mysterious mutating lockdown : Has anyone ever figured out why it is OK for grocery store workers to remain on the job during an international pandemic while serving the needs of the entire population with no restrictions other than wearing a mask , but it is considered dangerous for gyms to open or , most ludicrously , for anyone other than spouses of governors to take their boat for a quick spin around the lake ?
It seems like the lockdown can turn into whatever is convenient for politicians .
The uneven @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and different sectors have resulted in the shift of trillions of dollars of capital in ways that will reshape the economy for generations to come , yet we are not supposed to talk about it .
4 ) Hydroxychloroquine : If you know anything about this drug , it is probably just that some guy in Arizona died after drinking it , and that maybe President Trump was somehow responsible .
Well , as they say , a little knowledge is a dangerous thing .
The guy in Arizona didn ’ t take @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cleaner called chloroquine phosphate .
And Trump never told anyone to take either the drug or the fish-tank cleaner .
He just said hydroxychloroquine was a promising treatment against COVID-19 .
Of course , as soon as he said it , the radical academic leftists who control medical journals and associations warned that hydroxychloroquine had no benefit as a treatment and was potentially dangerous even though it had been safely used against malaria and various immune deficiency syndromes for decades .
Fortunately , many doctors who were familiar with the drug continued to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ early stages of COVID infections , and many patients around the world have been spared the most dire effects of the virus as a result .
Just don ’ t expect to read about it in the New York Times .
3 ) Trump ’ s vaccine victory : While the president has been painted as anti-science , it was his administration ’ s support that led to the fastest turnaround ever from viral discovery to viral vaccine — essentially less than a year .

(Frank Miele) Back in the day, when I was managing editor at the Daily Inter Lake in Kalispell, Mont., I enjoyed the end-of-year ritual of voting in the Associated Press’s poll of the Top 10 news stories.
Related The 7 Censorship Tactics ‘Big Tech’ Uses to Control the Flow of Information
Source – Rear Clear Politics
by Frank Miele, December, 29th, 2020
When I started participating in the year 2000, my list would include many of the same stories that made the final AP list, although often with differences in ranking. But by the time I retired in 2018, my view of the news had sharply diverged from the AP’s consensus view. I’d become something of a gadfly by then, questioning what seemed to be an ever more transparent left-leaning bias in mainstream reporting.
That divergence was probably magnified by the 2016 candidacy of Donald Trump and the bright light he had shined on Fake News, but my disenchantment with my profession had been growing for years, as chronicled in my book “The Media Matrix: What If Everything You Know Is Fake?”
Still, there is no way that even as recently as four years ago I would have predicted just how abysmally irresponsible the media would become by 2020. Major newspapers are winning Pulitzer Prizes for blatantly false reporting on topics such as “Russian collusion.” Meanwhile, Silicon Valley oligarchs have appointed themselves censors — warning the American people not to read or watch anything that hasn’t been “fact-checked” by their hand-picked thought police.
The situation has gotten so bad that it’s no longer worth ranking the top news stories of the year because so little that is covered is news and so much that is news is written off as a “conspiracy theory.” That’s why I’m introducing Heartland Diary USA’s first annual presentation of “Last Chance to Wake Up and Smell the News They Tried to Kill.”
So here are five of the biggest suppressed stories of 2020. Pardon me if I don’t go into great detail on them, but the closer I get to the truth, the more likely that Google, Twitter and Facebook will bury my story, too.
5) Mysterious mutating lockdown: Has anyone ever figured out why it is OK for grocery store workers to remain on the job during an international pandemic while serving the needs of the entire population with no restrictions other than wearing a mask, but it is considered dangerous for gyms to open or, most ludicrously, for anyone other than spouses of governors to take their boat for a quick spin around the lake? It seems like the lockdown can turn into whatever is convenient for politicians. The uneven effects of the lockdown on different states and different sectors have resulted in the shift of trillions of dollars of capital in ways that will reshape the economy for generations to come, yet we are not supposed to talk about it.
4) Hydroxychloroquine: If you know anything about this drug, it is probably just that some guy in Arizona died after drinking it, and that maybe President Trump was somehow responsible. Well, as they say, a little knowledge is a dangerous thing. The guy in Arizona didn’t take hydroxychloroquine; he took a fish tank cleaner called chloroquine phosphate. And Trump never told anyone to take either the drug or the fish-tank cleaner. He just said hydroxychloroquine was a promising treatment against COVID-19. Of course, as soon as he said it, the radical academic leftists who control medical journals and associations warned that hydroxychloroquine had no benefit as a treatment and was potentially dangerous even though it had been safely used against malaria and various immune deficiency syndromes for decades. Fortunately, many doctors who were familiar with the drug continued to use it as a therapy in the early stages of COVID infections, and many patients around the world have been spared the most dire effects of the virus as a result. Just don’t expect to read about it in the New York Times.
3) Trump’s vaccine victory: While the president has been painted as anti-science, it was his administration’s support that led to the fastest turnaround ever from viral discovery to viral vaccine — essentially less than a year. Even as House Democrats are poised to launch investigations into Trump’s supposed crimes against humanity for being president during the COVID crisis, lives are being saved as a result of his policies. Just don’t expect to read about it in the mainstream media, which spent much of 2020 ridiculing Trump for his prescient predictions that a vaccine would be developed by the end of the year.
2) Hunter Biden’s laptop: The ability to bury the Hunter Biden story throughout the 2020 presidential campaign ranks as one of the greatest victories in the history of propaganda. Hunter is the son of former Vice President Joe Biden, and his acknowledged history as a drug addict is now considered his strong suit. The Senate Homeland Security Committee found extensive evidence that Hunter has made hundreds of millions of dollars for the Biden family by selling access to his father, so when Hunter’s laptop turned up with first-person incriminating evidence, it was pretty obvious that Joe Biden had a lot of answer for. Except that the media never made him answer for anything. It preferred to rest on the bizarre assertion from 50 former U.S. intelligence officials that clear evidence of foreign collusion on Hunter’s laptop had all the earmarks of a “Russian disinformation” campaign. This was errant nonsense. Reporters, read the emails!
1) Election fraud: It turned out that everything that happened in 2020 before Nov. 3 was just prologue for the greatest deception in American history — namely the hijacking of a presidential election through means both legal and illegal. Most importantly, every state that changed its election procedures without the consent of its legislature violated the U.S. Constitution. That’s why Republicans plan to challenge the Electoral College vote on Jan. 6. Whether you like Donald Trump or not should be irrelevant. You either follow the Constitution or you don’t. The fact that Trump increased his support in almost every demographic since 2016 and yet lost the election will apparently remain a mystery because the Democratic Party, with an assist from weak Republicans, is intent on continuing the charade that Joe Biden is a beloved elder statesman even more popular than Barack Obama.
I should add a disclaimer here. My list will not be your list. This is 2020, and there is plenty of suppression to go around. You are hereby invited to submit your own contributions in the comments section below. In the meantime, rounding out my Top 10, here are some of the other major stories suppressed in 2020:
The communist links to antifa and Black Lives Matter; how the Russian hoax was exposed but left unpunished; how the policies of a certain governor in New York state led to thousands of COVID deaths in nursing homes; the successful campaign of billionaire George Soros to subvert American jurisprudence by electing pro-criminal district attorneys; and of course the suppression of news itself.

Some of the content is written by one of our writers and is clearly marked accordingly. Just because we share a CNN story that speaks badly about the President doesn’t mean we’re promoting anti-POTUS views. We’re reporting on the fact as it was reported, and that this event is important for us to know so we can better contend with the challenges of gaining freedom and prosperity. Similarly, just because we share a pro/anti-[insert issue or topic] content, such as a pro-second amendment piece or an anti-military video doesn’t mean we endorse what is said. Again, information is shared on this site for the purpose of evolving consciousness. In our opinion, consciousness evolves through the process of accumulating knowledge of the truth and contemplating that knowledge to distill wisdom and improve life by discovering and incorporating holistic values. Thus, sharing information from many different sources, with many different perspectives is the best way to maximize evolution. What’s more, the mastery of mind and discernment doesn’t occur in a vacuum, it is much like the immune system, it needs regular exposure to new things to stay healthy and strong.

“In 2018, 26 states in America had HIV exposure criminal laws,” President-elect Biden’s plan reads under the subhead, “Decriminalize HIV exposure and transmission laws.”
“These laws perpetuate discrimination and stigma towards people with HIV/AIDS, and there is simply no ‘scientific basis’ for them,” the plan continues. “As President, Biden will support legislation like the REPEAL HIV Discrimination Act, which promotes best practice recommendations for states.”
The REPEAL HIV Discrimination Act directs the Department of Justice (DOJ), the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), and the Department of Defense (DOD) to conduct a review of laws, policies, regulations, and judicial precedents and decisions dealing with HIV and persons living with the virus.
The results of this review would be made public under this legislation and then the DOJ and HHS would create guidance and “an integrated monitoring and evaluation system to measure state progress.”

“We are patriots who want to keep going and support our country, support our law enforcement, support the history of our country, the Constitution, the flag, our soldiers, and so much more,” he said.
Sabato Jr., who is known for his roles in “Melrose Place,” “The Bold and the Beautiful,” and “General Hospital,” lamented that the entertainment world has “moved away from supporting our country in so many ways,” but that this movement has created a void that his studio hopes to fill.
He wants to produce films that “support our country, support our God, support our flag,” he stated.
The film studio, which Sabato Jr. has been working hard to launch since earlier this year, already has its first script. The forthcoming project, “Trailblazers,” is set to feature a host of well-known conservative stars, including Scott Baio, Dean Cain, Kevin Sorbo, and Stacey Dash. According to IMDB, “Trailblazers” will tell the story of “a band of siblings who were once robbers, thieves and killers of the west, decide to fulfill their father’s dying wish of abandoning their life of crime and pursuing the path of the holy.” During his interview, Sabato Jr., an evangelical Christian, also said the film is “a Western where God is the protagonist of the story” that portrays “a great family fighting for what is right.” Sabato Jr. worked as a successful actor for more than 30 years before his support for Trump resulted in the death of his career. In March, the actor detailed how he had to sell his possessions, relocate, and find new work in order to provide for his family after being blacklisted by Hollywood elites. “It’s been terrible. It’s mind-blowing. It’s a disgrace,” he told Variety in a phone interview. “It’s tough, because if you’re in that environment in Hollywood and you have something to say that they don’t like, they’re going to let you know.”

So resilient they can vote after they’re dead.
“That’s pretty tough to do, vote when you’re dead,” he told a legislative committee, sarcastically, as he argued that the evidence of vote fraud in the state demands lawmakers take action to prevent the wrong result – that Biden victory.
In video that appeared from the hearing, he said, “You had 10,315 people, that we can determine from obituaries, were dead when they voted.”

The Kentucky Republican’s legislation calls for the repeal of Section 230, offers legal protections to social media platforms, allowing them to escape liability for the content that is uploaded or published on their websites.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer deemed McConnell’s proposal a “cynical gambit.” The Senate is expected to take up the bill on Wednesday.
Early Monday the House passed a bill to provide $2,000 in stimulus checks to Americans, voting 275-134. Of the 36 tally, 44 Republicans voted in favour alongside their Democrat counterparts. The House voted to increase the total sum provided to American citizens to $2,000 from the original $600 as part of its coronavirus relief package, which was approved by both the House and Senate and signed into law by President Donald Trump on Sunday.
McConnell refused to put forward the bill for a Senate vote and indicated that he intended to package the $2,000 checks with a repeal on the Section 230 tech liability shield and open an investigation into election fraud.
“The president highlighted three additional issues of national significance he would like to see Congress tackle together,” McConnell stated. “Those are the three important subjects the president has linked together. This week the Senate will begin a process to bring these three priorities into focus,” he added.
At least four Republican senators have expressed support in favour of the House bill.
Sen. Marco Rubio was among those who stated that he supports the $2,000 stimulus checks. “I agree with the President that millions of working-class families are in dire need of additional relief, which is why I support $2,000 in direct payments to Americans struggling due to the pandemic,” Rubio said in a statement.
“For months, Republicans tried to pass additional relief for workers, families, and small businesses — only to be rejected by Democrats at every turn,” Rubio noted. “Remember, months ago Speaker [Nancy] Pelosi and Democrats rejected the administration’s previous offer of $1,200 per adult and $1,000 per child.

“I share many of my colleagues’ concerns about the long-term effects of additional spending, but we cannot ignore the fact that millions of working-class families across the nation are still in dire need of relief.

Georgia Republicans David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler also expressed support for the relief bill, “President @realdonaldtrump is right — I support this push for $2,000 in direct relief for the American people,” Perdue wrote on Twitter.
