My first thought as well BUT I see that it’s a 2.3 trillion dollar bill.

Wasn’t the vetoed one the other day a $900 trillion bill?

I really don’t think Trump would okay that pork chop.

If I’m wrong I’m wrong, but I haven’t surrendered to despair. The alternate electors are our hope for the Republic. But Mnuchin’s double-dealing was traitorous.

"Confusing.

Is it signed or not? Or, did he say he would sign it if the items redlined were removed?"

Trump signs COVID-19 relief bill with $600 stimulus checks
By Steven Nelson
President Trump on Sunday signed a $2.3 trillion COVID-19 relief and government funding bill that includes $600 stimulus checks for most Americans.

The nearly 5,600-page bill passed the House and Senate by overwhelming margins on Monday night, just hours after its text was released.

The bill authorizes direct checks of $600 for people earning up to $75,000 per year. The amount decreases for higher earners and people who make over $95,000 get nothing.

There’s an additional $600 per child stimulus payment.

In a statement, Trump said that Congress on Monday would vote on a separate bill to “increase payments to individuals from $600 to $2,000.”

The bill creates a new $300 weekly unemployment supplement and replenishes a forgivable loan program for small businesses. It also creates new criminal penalties including prison time for violating copyright laws with online streaming.

Because the bill mashed together COVID-19 relief with ordinary government spending legislation, some social media users urged Trump to veto the bill, pointing to its billions in foreign aid and legislator pet projects.

If he signed it, how does sending it back with instructions mean anything? Congress can laugh in his face, can’t they?

Yes

Good grief, don’t people wait and see the full picture before throwing a fit?

The headlines are coming out:

1. Trump signed a CR to avert a shutdown.
2. Trump redlined a COVID bill with conditions.
3. A $2000 COVID direct payment bill is in work for his signature tomorrow.

Our news media has got to be one of the worst on the planet.

What about marrieds filing jointly where one makes over $95k and one makes under?

Thank you.

Do you know if both the House and the Senate are voting Monday on the $2,000 legislation?

Trump: The Senate will start the process for a vote that increases checks to $2,000, repeals Section 230, and starts an investigation into voter fraud.
Trump: As President, I have told Congress that I want far less wasteful spending and more money going to the American people in the form of $2,000 checks per adult and $600 per child
Trump: I will send back to Congress a redlined version, item by item, accompanied by the formal rescission request to Congress insisting that those funds be removed from the bill.
“As President I am demanding many rescissions under the Impoundment Control Act of 1974. “
