Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders had harsh words on Sunday for President Donald Trump, saying Trump was 'unbelievably cruel.' Business Insider reports Sanders was irate at Trump for not signing the coronavirus relief package and blocking unemployment benefits. You can't diddle around with the bill. Sign the bill, Mr. President, and then...we can pass a $2,000 direct payment for the working families of this country. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) Interview, ABC's 'This Week' Trump rejected the $900 billion coronavirus relief package that Republican and Democrat lawmakers had finally reached a consensus on last week. As Trump refused to sign the bill before the end of Saturday, millions of Americans have lost at least one week of unemployment benefits.
Sen. Lindsey Graham is one of Pres. Donald Trump's biggest defenders. Trump spent part of his Christmas with Graham in Palm Beach, Florida. People are waiting to see if Trump sign the COVID-19 relief bill. Trump has previously expressed his support to provide Americans $2,000 in COVID relief funds, instead of the proposed $600 package. Graham tweeted his belief that Trump wants to sign a COVID package providing all Americans with $2,000 checks. "I am convinced he (Trump) is more determined than ever to increase stimulus payments to $2000 per person."
President Donald Trump faces a ticking clock with respect to the current proposed COVID-19 relief package. Trump has suggested he may reject the $900 billion package that Congress approved earlier this week unless lawmakers include $2,000 stimulus payments. Business Insider reports Trump could cost jobless workers a week of $300 federal unemployment benefits if he fails to sign the bill by midnight Saturday. Business Insider reports nearly 14 million Americans may lose all their unemployment aid this weekend if the bill doesn't pass. Labor experts say a two-to-three week gap in unemployment benefits is inevitable, as states need to recalibrate their computer systems to send the payments.
$900 billion stimulus package is on its way to President Donald Trump. Trump is at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida. Business Insider reports that Trump hates the massive 5,593-page bill. The bill includes the $1.4 trillion omnibus spending bill. The president called the bill a "disgrace" earlier this week and demanded an increase in direct payments from $600 to $2,000. On Thursday, House Democrats moved to advance Trump's bid for $2,000 stimulus checks but Republicans shut down their efforts.
President Donald Trump's fourth Chief of Staff, Mark Meadows, is not winning any popularity contests among the president's aides. In a jaw-dropping exchange Sunday with CNN's Jake Tapper, Meadows said bluntly, 'We are not going to control the pandemic.' A Trump campaign adviser said there is widespread frustration over Meadows' comments, as well as his leadership more broadly. Sources say Trump remains displeased with how Meadows handled the crisis surrounding his own bout with coronavirus. Early in the crisis, Meadows came to view the White House coronavirus task force, led by Vice President Mike Pence, as largely irrelevant. He has not intervened as Dr. Scott Atlas, a radiologist with no experience in public health, undermines health experts and poo-poos mask-wearing. Besides downplaying the pandemic, Meadows has encouraged Trump to carry on his large-scale rallies, despite a nationwide surge in cases.
Dealing with the ailments of the human body is a bloody and messy business, but it's not as bloody and messy as politics. That's why the prestigious New England Journal of Medicine has, as a rule, avoided politics like the plague. Until now. CNN reports the Journal on Wednesday roundly condemned the Trump administration for its response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Unanimously, the editors called for the current, 'dangerously incompetent' leadership that 'recklessly squandered lives' in the United States to be voted out of office. Our leaders have largely claimed immunity for their actions. But this election gives us the power to render judgment. Editorial, New England Journal of Medicine
