Ahavati said:Biden to Sign Stimulus Bill Thursday Afternoon

President Biden plans to sign the $1.9 trillion economic relief package on Thursday afternoon, ushering in an aggressive infusion of federal aid in a far-reaching effort to address the toll of the coronavirus pandemic.

Mr. Biden had originally been scheduled to sign the bill on Friday, after it had been reviewed again and printed. But the president and his advisers, aware that low- and middle-income Americans are desperate for the round of direct payments that the bill includes, moved up the timeline to Thursday afternoon.

Bravo! Those who are in dire need will receive it even earlier now.


Wonderful! Especially the Covid Relief. We need to keep getting further ahead of this virus.

And I just received my first Moderna injection! Woot!

Please add that the bill pays for democrat control cities budgets, that are millions in the hole and a tunnel in Pelosi's district.

Touché!

Meanwhile, some Americans can expect their payments as soon as this weekend!

White House press secretary Jen Psaki said the first wave of direct deposit checks would begin hitting Americans' bank accounts as soon as this weekend. Payments are expected to continue over the next several weeks.

Indeed.

Just received my stimulus payment.

Thank You, President Biden, and House and Senate Democrats, for providing Americans relief in a timely fashion, despite the feet dragging of your Republican counterparts and the @$$#&%₩ who refused to, among so many selfish actions, provide a proper White House transition.

I have a philisophical male friend visiting me,
who doesn't believe in government assistance
and he took my stimulus check, chewed it, then swallowed.

Muy wife came home, and I had to explain that the check is in the male.

Biden administration to cancel $1 billion in student-loan debt held by scammed borrowers

Borrowers who were scammed by their schools but who only received partial relief from their student-loan debt under the Betsy DeVos-era Department of Education will have their loans fully discharged — a move that will result in an estimated $1 billion in debt relief, the DOE announced Thursday.

These 72,000 borrowers have already had their claims for debt relief approved under the borrower defense process, which allows borrowers who attended schools that were found to have misled them to have their federal student loans discharged.

It's apparently an old thing. These student debts should've been cancelled as soon as it was uncovered. But no.

Moving on because this is important:  

Biden to Condemn Attacks on Asian Americans in Atlanta

(Bloomberg) -- President Joe Biden will denounce racially motivated attacks on Asian Americans in an Atlanta speech on Friday, following the murders of eight people in shootings this week at spas around the city.

The deaths, which included six Asian women, have raised nationwide alarm about an increase of such incidents during the pandemic. Biden set aside plans for a more political trip in which he would promote his $1.9 trillion stimulus to focus on the violence.

Biden said in a tweet that he’s discussing “ongoing attacks against the community” with Asian-American leaders he met in Atlanta.

“It’s up to all of us to root out racism and give hate no safe harbor in America,” he said.

Others might not be willing to name this a hate crime, but at least President Biden is willing to Name it.
