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.
A very clever Utah woman may have saved her own life with some fast thinking and some simple non-verbal communication. Newser reports a local locksmith visiting the woman's home noticed something odd: She held up her hand with "911" written on it. Noticing that a menacing man was crowding the woman and controlling the use of her phone, the locksmith quietly signalled to the woman that he understood. After consulting with the FBI, he called local police. Deputies arrived later that day, at which point the woman quickly walked out of her home. Grand Eggertsen was the woman's ex-boyfriend, and allegedly barged into the house without her permission. He was soon arrested on charges of aggravated kidnapping, interruption of a communication device, and assault.
