Lindsey Graham is reportedly trying to talk Trump out of coronavirus relief checks for Americans

The freedom dividend's resurgence may be over before it even began.

During a Senate GOP lunch on Thursday, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-N.C.) told his colleagues he was trying to talk President Trump out of supporting individual coronavirus relief checks for Americans, Politico reports. White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows was also trying to get Trump on Graham's side, per Politico.

Mandatory quarantines in the face of the COVID-19 outbreak have already left many Americans without jobs, at least until the businesses they work for reopen. And the economic effects of the new coronavirus' spread may leave some people more permanently unemployed. That's led to bipartisan lawmakers proposing issuing individual checks to all Americans; some proposals have limited them by income bracket, but others are universal. Even Trump has said he'd support individual payments, but Graham has publicly come out against issuing them to every American indiscriminately.

Still, just after the meeting, Graham tweeted a clip of his Thursday appearance on Fox News, during which he said the phase three package would provide people "income to get through this." He'd support supplementing traditional unemployment payments by providing "75 percent of people's income up to $80,000."

Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) was among the first congress members to propose issuing $1,000 checks to every American to support them during the COVID-19-induced economic turmoil — an idea that looked an awful lot like former 2020 candidate Andrew Yang's signature policy proposal.

Graham, who on Tuesday said “it won’t help the economy just throwing money at a problem,” did not return a request for comment. He then pushed back on the reporting, tweeting that he is “willing to pay 75 percent of people’s income up to $80,000 to get us through.”
I'm willing to pay 75 percent of people's income up to $80,000 to get us through. This ought to be enough money to get us through the next six to eight weeks.https://t.co/xhhNzzpCTm

With the White House mulling two $1,000 checks to certain Americans, Senator Mitt Romney (R., Utah) — who has called for a one-time $1,000 payment to every American — said Wednesday that he was working with Graham on a compromise that would turn convert the funding for the second check into more unemployment benefits.

Other Senate Republicans, including Tom Cotton of Arkansas and Josh Hawley of Missouri, have voiced their support for funding Americans and their families with direct cash infusions. Senator Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R., Ky.) stated during a speech before the lunch that while the details of the phase three package are still being worked on, “Senate Republicans want to put cash in the hands of the American people.”

Senator Kevin Cramer told CNN after the Thursday lunch that the GOP is considering payments for individuals under a threshold of $95,000 in adjusted gross income, and couples making less than $190,000.
For individuals making $75K in adjusted gross income or less, they would be eligible for $1200 payments.
The payments would decrease until it reaches the $95K level for individuals. People making more than $95K would receive nothing.

The official proposal, which is being coordinated with Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin, is expected later Thursday.

The White House also seems to have moved towards favoring direct payments, after President Trump initially pushed for a payroll tax cut.

“Americans need cash now and the president wants to get cash now. And I mean now, in the next two weeks,” Mnuchin said at a White House press conference on Tuesday.

Trump: "I've got the lowest unemployment rate in fifty years, buuuut can you do me a favor...."

Trump administration’s plea to states: Keep mum about unemployment stats.

The Trump administration is asking state labor officials to delay releasing the precise number of unemployment claims they are fielding, an indication of how uneasy policymakers are about further roiling a stock market already plunging in response to the coronavirus outbreak.

In an email sent Wednesday, the Labor Department instructed state officials to only “provide information using generalities to describe claims levels (very high, large increase)” until the department releases the total number of national claims next Thursday.

The email, which was shared with The New York Times, noted that the reports were monitored closely by financial markets and should therefore remain embargoed. “States should not provide numeric values to the public,” wrote Gay Gilbert, the administrator of the department’s Office of Employment Insurance.

Ms. Gilbert has worked at the Labor Department under presidents of both parties, and there has been no indication that she was urged by political appointees to make the request. But President Trump has privately expressed irritation at the dire predictions of some of his advisers, most notably when Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin told lawmakers that unemployment could reach 20 percent this year.

Some states that received the guidance from Ms. Gilbert found it disturbing. It prompted at least one governor’s office, which shared the message on the condition of anonymity, to seek an opinion from the state attorney general about whether they had to temporarily withhold the information.

In another state, lawmakers got a preview of the staggering numbers that are being withheld for the moment. In a private conference call Thursday with elected officials and union leaders, a top Pennsylvania labor official was blunt about the depth of the economic crisis, according to someone on the call.

Robert O’Brien, the state’s deputy secretary of labor and industry, said the government had been overwhelmed by a flood of unemployment insurance claims — 180,000 just in the last few days. He said that was far more than the state usually gets in a whole month.

The situation may be even more dire in Washington, the first center of the contagion in the United States. State officials there would only say they are seeing an “even more dramatic increase this week” after unemployment claims soared 150 percent last week from the week before.

The federal numbers released Thursday morning were already alarming: 281,000 people nationwide applied for unemployment insurance last week, up from 211,000 the previous week. They were apparently only a grim preview of what is to come.

California governor issues statewide stay-at-home order; Confirmed coronavirus cases in the U.S. doubled in two days
https://www.washingtonpost.com/worl...us-latest-news/#click=https://t.co/EYTf2SIiga

California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) issued a statewide stay-at-home order starting Thursday evening. “This is a moment we need to make tough decisions," Newsom said at an online news conference. It is the strongest statewide restriction yet aimed at stemming the spread of the coronavirus. The announcement follows similar orders issued in the past few days across the San Francisco Bay area and Los Angeles.

As the novel coronavirus continued to spread globally Thursday, in the United States the number of confirmed cases doubled. The dramatic increase stems in part from more testing, but also indicates how much the virus has spread. On Tuesday, there were just more than 5,700 confirmed coronavirus cases in the United States. That number climbed above 11,500 on Thursday, and officials indicated the number will continue to rise sharply as more test results become available.

In a Thursday night address, Calif Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) issued a state-wide stay at home order, a move he said would help “bend the curve in the state of California.”

By ordering California residents to stay at home except for essential activities, Newsom followed the lead of counties in the San Francisco Bay area which recently issued similar orders, as well as Los Angeles County, which announced a stay-at-home order earlier Thursday. He said the directive would go into effect Thursday evening.

Newsom said he hoped people would abide by it, “do the right thing and meet this moment.”

“To protect themselves, protect their families and protect the broader community,” he added.

Yesterday, the national media went off with these effeminate attacks at me, repeating my comments. Doubling down on their bizarre ramblings when they should be atoning for what they have done.

Looking deranged and stalkerish, interfering with my attempts to leave the country.

This is footage of Italian patients in a hospital, I got this off reddit. I don't have a vimeo account so just click the link to watch it on Vimeo



I already knew they would be older patients, but what stuck out to me is how a lot of them looked overweight.. Weight is likely a factor amongst many other conditions but generally speaking, this really should serve as a wake up call to get our physical health & diet in order.
