Have you considered that what you have read is just more 'f**e news' -and therefore not worthy of any outrage?
Just like the nearly 400 bills the House has passed and continue to sit on McConnell's desk....while republicans constantly scream "the do nothing democrats"......wake up man!

Yep, and some conservatives, at least, are vocally opposed to Mitch blocking these, for example:
https://conservative-daily.com/2017/12/13/mitch-mcconnell-continues-blocking-conservative-bills-dems-win-alabama/We conservatives have a name for our poor-performing politicians: RINO's.
So where are the liberal MSM sites that are renouncing the Democratic-controlled lack of distribution of food, etc for the children of Puerto Rico? And this by a Democrat Governor who decried the situation as life or death?
Show me which of those 400 bills is literally blocking a warehouse full of food, that is literally in the neighborhood of starving children, and sure, I'll get outraged about that right along with you. But when we have bills that have pork in them along with important things, then it gets a little more touchy about which bills should be passed or not. Perhaps the concept "we have to pass the bill to see what's in it" just doesn't sit well with everyone. I'm not making excuses or justifying McConnell's inactions, I'm just saying there is no moral equivalency in "sitting on bills" with "literally withholding available and dedicated food from starving children."
If you can't see that, it isn't me that needs to wake up.
When l*****ts in the House can't even allow bringing a bill to the table to protect newborn children, and those same l*****ts, as Party policy, always v**e in support of murdering unborn living human beings through a******n, it isn't me that needs to wake up.
When l*****ts want everyone in the country to call biological men or women by pronouns that don't match their c********es, even so far as making it illegal to do so if someone doesn't want to be called by a pronoun that matches their c********es, it isn't me that needs to wake up. You do realize that if every human on this planet were to immediately change to being homosexual, then humanity would perish in one generation, don't you? You do realize that every living human being on this planet was procreated from one male parent and one female parent, don't you? Thus making the union of one man and one woman the absolute, and most obvious and proven, basic building block of human civilization, which biological fact l*****ts want to relegate to the ashcan of history. And you tell me I need to wake up?
When l*****ts claim the only acceptable "freedom of speech" is speech that they explicitly approve of, it isn't me that needs to wake up.
When l*****ts want to allow everyone in the world into America, and provide them with free food, housing and healthcare, when we can't take care of our own, then it isn't me who needs to wake up.
When l*****ts champion, or even tolerate, avowed socialists as legitimate members of their Party, it isn't me who needs to wake up.
When l*****ts champion emptying our prisons at the same time they are disarming law abiding citizens, it isn't me who needs to wake up.
When l*****ts want to give v****g privileges to convicted felons, even murderers, it isn't me who needs to wake up.
When l*****ts want everyone categorized by their DNA, it isn't me who needs to wake up.
When l*****ts demand that companies hire a certain quota of people based on sex or race and not based on character and/or abilities, it isn't me who needs to wake up.
When l*****ts treat the God-given "rights" of the people, that are recognized, protected, and enshrined in the Constitution of the United States of America, as if they are government-controlled "privileges" that they and their politicians have the power to infringe upon with impunity, or negate completely when they are sworn into an office wherein they are literally sworn to uphold them, then it surely isn't me who needs to wake up.
