    People who are in prison and jail are eligible to qualify for the first stimulus check of up to $1,200 per adult, but with the tight Nov. 4 deadline to file physical paperwork now passed, inmates have until Nov. 21 to file an online claim with the IRS. It is not clear how many people who are incarcerated will be able to access these online forms. Internet access is often limited in prison and rules vary from state to state.

    Bill funds D.C. coronavirus response at state, city and county levels, retroactively fixes D.C. treatment in CARES Act, and authorizes participation in Federal Reserve funding

    WASHINGTON, D.C. — The office of Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC) announced that Norton successfully got three provisions vital to the District of Columbia included in the Heroes Act, the phase-five coronavirus response bill passed today in the House. Norton secured state-, city-, and county-level funding for the District; $755 million in retroactive funding to fix D.C.'s treatment as a territory instead of a state in the CARES Act; and authorization for D.C. to participate in the Municipal Liquidity Facility (MLF) the Federal Reserve is establishing.

    According to estimates, the Heroes Act would provide D.C. this year with $1.5 billion. at the state level, $740 million at the city level, and $264 million at the county level, for a total of $2.5billion, to address the coronavirus health and economic s crisis. Norton argued, "D.C. uniquely provides state-city-county services to residents, so it should follow that the District receives funding at all three levels."

    The MLF is being established to support short-term borrowing by states, cities and counties for coronavirus relief. Norton got a fix in the Heroes Act authorizing D.C.'s participation in the MLF. "We do not yet know when or whether D.C. will need to participate in the MLF, but we could not. afford to wait to get this authorization," No

    • Stimulus checks for state and federal inmates.
    • $360 billion for state and local bailouts that predominantly benefit liberal states.
    • Nearly $1 billion for Amtrak’s Northeast Corridor railway, a woefully mismanaged public railway system.
    • $645 million for the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS), National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) and the Institute for Library and Museum Services.
    • $570 million paid leave benefit, available exclusively for federal employees to keep their children home when public schools refuse to reopen.

    Wow Trump really gave up lots of borrowed money, even more than before the pandemic.

    Reading comprehension problems eh? 
     

    The legislation was not negotiated with congressional Republicans or the Donald Trump administration, and even if it passes through the House, it will likely languish in the Senate.

    Politico reported in May that the legislation serves as more of a wishlist for the House Democrat conference’s most progressive lawmakers.

    Politico wrote:

    Privately, several House Democrats concede their latest bill feels like little more than an effort to appease the most liberal members of the caucus, many of whom were chafed that their most important priorities were minimized or ignored entirely in previous coronavirus negotiations.

    The Heroes Act reportedly contains many leftist provisions in the bill, including:

    • $755 million for the government for Washington, DC. The bill would also allow the D.C. government to participate in the Federal Reserve’s Municipal Liquidity (MLF) to support additional lending to the city.
    • $1 million for the National Science Foundation to study the spread of coronavirus-related “disinformation.”
    • $10 million for the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) as well as $10 million fo the National Endowment for the Humanities.
    • Eliminates limitations on the federal deduction for the state and local taxes (SALT). Republicans limited this deduction through the Trump Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The SALT deduction primarily benefits wealthy, largely Democrat states.
    • Grants additional aid for State and local government bailouts. The bill contains $500 billion in funding for state government relief and $375 billion in aid to local governments. Senate Republicans such as Sens. Rick Scott (R-FL) and Ted Cruz (R-TX) have contended this will particularly aid fiscally irresponsible blue states such as California, New York, and Illinois to the detriment of more fiscally responsible states such as Texas and Florida.
    • $25 million for migrant and seasonal farmworkers, including emergency support services through the Department of Labor.
    • $1.7 billion for Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and Minority Serving Institutions, $20 million for Howard University, $11 million for Gallaudet University, $11 million for the National Technical Institute for the Deaf.
    • $15 million to maintain operations, rental assistance supportive services, and other actions to mitigate the impact on low-income people with HIV/AIDS through the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
    • Create a two month special enrollment period for Obamacare. The bill also extends full premium subsidies to allow workers to maintain their health insurance coverage through COBRA.
    • Allows Attorney General William Barr to make grants to states to create state-run hate crime reporting hotlines.
    • Relief for up to $10,000 of up-front debt relief for all Department of Education loan borrowers.
    • Authorizes up to $50 million in Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) “environmental justice” grants to investigate or address the disproportionate impact of coronavirus in environmental communities.
    • $75 billion for housing assistance.
    • Mandatory early voting for every state and mandatory mail-in ballots for every state. Nate Madden, a press secretary for the House Oversight Committee Republicans, said it would be a “nightmare scenario for voter fraud.”
    • Allows wealthy people who make money from dividends and royalties to claim the Earned Income Tax Credit, which is designed for lower-income Americans.
    • Extends assistance designed for nonprofits to political action groups and chamber of commerce-style associations. Open Markets Institute fellow Matt Stoller called it a “corporate lobbyist bailout.”

    The asylum process has been held up for 3 years so yeah there is a rush on.

    25% of the Venezuelan population has fled the country because of violence and the horrible economy. I cannot fathom how mothers with their kids have traveled 3 months to get to the border.

     

    Why would anyone flee a socialist country?

    that's a lot of projecting... 

    have you heard about the triage classes offered in Texas public schools so they can help save their classmates in the event of a mass shooting, or any shooting?  apparently they want to make the classes available as early as the third grade now.

    The founding fathers are rolling in their graves watching America twist their words from the 1700's to claim a right to kill fellow citizens. It's almost as bad as people clinging to the bible because it works for their personal beliefs. Until Americans can ALL admit there is a gun problem not a mental health problem nothing will change. Every Country in the world has people with serious mental issues. America takes it to a whole other level. Why is that?? Muh rights!!!! 

    Where did anyone say it’s ok to kill people? And there’s another even more deadly problem but it doesn’t fit the leftists agenda.
