Senators Make Full Court Press To Get Trump To Sign Off On Disaster Relief Bill

Description

Puerto Rico is running out of food assistance, the Southeast is reeling from hurricanes, and the Midwest is struggling with floods. But according to Politico, that hasn't moved President Donald Trump one bit. Trump received a ring from an unusual caller on Wednesday evening: Alabama's Democratic Sen. Doug Jones. He urged Trump to accept more money for Puerto Rico as a way to unstick a $13 billion disaster aid bill that's stalled in the Senate.

With the new gig-work model in place, companies are likely to try and replicate it in other states.

  • The GOP Has Far More Important Things To Do Than Help Tens Of Millions Of Americans

    President Donald Trump has changed his thinking, and now says he wants a big stimulus bill passed before the general election on November 3rd. Fed Chair Jay Powell also wants to see one passed and has warned that without one, the US economy's recovery will surely falter.

According to Business Insider, the GOP is far more concerned with getting the Supreme Court tilted to the right by having Amy Coney Barrett confirmed. For more than five months, Congress has held up a comprehensive stimulus package for tens of millions of Americans and left them in limbo. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell wants a so-called 'skinny' bill, while House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is holding out for far more for the American worker.
