Progressive Democrats have been successful in pushing for President Joe Biden to extend the eviction moratorium for one month. Some liberals still believe this isn’t enough time and claim that until the COVID-vaccination program reaches more people, citizens should be protected from eviction. The eviction moratorium has been extended until July 31, with lawmakers saying this is the last extension. This has caused outrage among many Democrats. Some members of Congress claim that the low vaccination rate in majority-minority neighborhoods threatens to increase the spread of COVID-19. According t...

California’s budget surplus totals a whopping $76 billion. California Gov. Gavin Newsom, who is facing a recall election in the fall, has proposed to use the surplus for tax rebates of up to $1,100 for millions of households. Newsom also plans to allocate over $7 billion for pandemic relief efforts. Newsom has issued a series of pandemic recovery proposals in the past week. All of his proposals total $100 billion.

Senate Parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough was appointed by former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) in 2012. Now she will serve as the chief legislative referee regarding President Joe Biden‘s proposal for a $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief package. One of the main points of contention is Biden’s proposal for a $15 an hour minimum wage. MacDonough will take on the challenge of deciding whether or not such proposals can pass the Senate with a simple-majority ruling, under budget reconciliation procedures, which requires that bills deal with issues that affect the budget. Lawmakers are c...

A majority of Americans think former President Donald Trump should be convicted during his upcoming impeachment trial and barred from being able to hold a federal position in the future, according to a new ABC News/Ipsos poll conducted on Friday and Saturday.

On Sunday night, President Donald Trump signed a $900 billion coronavirus relief package which included a second round of stimulus payments. The signed deal will send $600 checks monthly to those who qualify.

Similar to the first round, new payments will start phasing out for individuals with adjusted gross incomes of more than $75,000 and those making more than...

Over the Christmas weekend, President Donald Trump was the only man with the power to forestall a government shutdown on Tuesday and approve a $900 billion stimulus bill to restore jobless benefits to millions of laid-off Americans and prevent further economic calamity. On Sunday, Trump reluctantly signed the COVID relief and government funding bills his own administration helped negotiate and that his own aides claimed he’d approved days ago. Since the bills were not signed until Sunday, he was too late to prevent unemployment aid from lapsing. The delay also pushed the government within 30...
