When President Donald Trump vetoed the $900 billion stimulus bill Tuesday night, he claimed sending $600 checks to working Americans wasn't enough. But according to Business Insider, some Republicans aren't buying it. One anonymous GOP official said Trump was throwing a 'tantrum' in order to punish GOP lawmakers who didn't back his bid to hold onto the presidency. As Trump left to spend the Christmas holidays in his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida on Wednesday, the White House was fielding furious calls from Republicans. They wanted to know why they were told that Trump supported the bill and asked them to vote for it, only to be abandoned at the last minute.
American healthcare workers were among the first to receive the COVID-19 vaccines on Monday. After receiving clearance from the USFDA, Pharmaceutical companies Pfizer and Moderna have both said that their vaccines are 95% effective. When the vaccine becomes more widely available, will people take it? According to Business Insider, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) says that employers can require that employees get a COVID-19 vaccine...or be banned from the office. When it comes to workplace safety, amid the pandemic, there are still some unanswered questions about what measures employers can take, and rules that they can require. One lawyer predicts that most employers will strongly suggest, not necessarily require, the COVID-19 vaccination.
