However, senator Sherrod Brown of ohio gave the weekly democratic address. He discussed of vacancy on the Supreme Court following the death of Justice Ruth Bader ginsburg. Brown next week on october 1, rent, mortgage, utilities, and other bills are due for millions of families who wont have a way to pay them. Just last week, another 870,000 americans lost their jobs. These workers who lost their jobs with the pandemic, what are they to do without the 600 a . Eek these families face impossible decisions. Do they drained their savings . Do they go to a payday lender . Four out they out of options . Do they face eviction . Those are all horrible choices. Americans are frustrated for good reason. They are angry for good reason. They lost loved ones because of President Trumps failure to get this pandemic under control. So many Public Schools cannot open in person. Parents and teachers are under an overwhelming amount of stress. School districts and families dont have the resources for all the Additional Technology and safety precautions they need to open safely. Our state governments and communities are looking at massive layoffs. Small businesses that are the lifeblood of local communities are shuttering one after the other, some of them permanently. Leader mcconnell and President Trump refuse to pass anything to help this country get through this crisis. The stock market is backup, so they think everything is just fine. For President Trump, a good stock market means a good economy, nothing to do with wages, nothing to do with employment. Inaction,months of they are willing to drop everything, willing to move heaven and earth to put another corporate special interest judge on the Supreme Court. Leader mcconnell has spent the last six months ignoring this pandemic and economic crisis. Now he wants to pack the court that is supposed to serve the American People. Its another judge who always rules for corporations over workers. So much is at stake with this nominee. The Supreme Court will hear yet another case trying to overturn the entire Affordable Care act. In just a few weeks, the judge could do what the American People rejected over and over. The judges could throw out the entire Affordable Care act. They would take away the protections for preexisting conditions for millions of americans in the middle of a pandemic. Family health care is at stake. The ability to vote is at stake with this court. Worker protections are at stake. The freedom to organize a union is at stake. The progress we made on equality and civil rights, especially for lgbtq, is at stake. Reforming our Justice System is at stake. Womens freedom to make their own Health Care Decisions also is at stake. What the president of the United States continuously is threatening that he wont accept the results of the election. Our democracy is at stake as he tries to install another trump judge. The American People deserve to have their voices heard on these decisions that affect their lives. People have already started voting. They are already casting ballots. This comes down to one question. Whose side are you on . Mcconnell and trump are going to drop everything to grab more power for corporations. Democrats are going to keep fighting for everyone else. We are fighting to put money in the pockets of everyone to manufacture more tests, to support schools and communities and small businesses. We fight to reform our Justice System. We meet this moment. If you love this country, you fight for the people who make it work. That is what democrats will continue to do every single day. I believe we should be stronger than we now are. I believe we should have a stronger military force. I believe we should increase our strength all over the world, but i dont confuse words with strength. When the president of the United States is doing something that is right, something for the purpose of securing this country, he can never express regret or apologize to anybody. 60 years ago, americans watched the first ever televised residential debate between massachusetts senator john f.
