Mitch McConnell is single-handedly shutting down bipartisan COVID relief talks, once again deciding that his wealthy Wall Street donors are more important than the nearly 70 million Americans who’ve filed for unemployment since the beginning of the pandemic, thousands of failing Main Street businesses, first responders, health care workers and funding for vaccine distribution. Mitch McConnell is determined to make American families suffer so he can extract special corporate legal protections for businesses that endanger the health of their employees.
