McConnell blocks US$2,000 checks - Taipei Times

McConnell blocks US$2,000 checks Bloomberg US Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell on Tuesday blocked an attempt by Democrats to force quick action on increasing direct stimulus payments to US$2,000 as US President Donald Trump said that failing to act now amounted to a “death wish” by Republicans. McConnell objected to a motion by US Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer to approve by unanimous consent a stimulus check bill that passed the US House of Representatives on Monday. He also blocked a motion by US Senator Bernie Sanders to vote on the stimulus checks immediately after the Senate voted on overriding Trump’s veto of a key defense policy bill.

Horseracing Safety Act Banning Doping Signed Into Law

Horseracing Safety Act Banning Doping Signed Into Law - 7:40 am Animal Wellness Foundation News: WASHINGTON, D.C. In the biggest gain for animal welfare in 2020, and in the $900 billion year-end spending bill, President Trump signed into law Sunday night, the Horseracing Integrity and Safety (HISA) Safety Act, H.R. 1754/S. 4547, concluding an eight-year campaign to end medication abuses leading to breakdowns and injuries and deaths on tracks across the nation. The House passed H.R. 1754, led by U.S. Representatives Paul Tonko, D-N.Y., and Andy Barr, R-Ky. by a voice vote in September, but the Senate had not taken up S. 4547 introduced by U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., and Senators Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., and Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif. that promises to end the era of widespread doping of horses in Thoroughbred racing in America.

Senate to address defense veto, stimulus checks this week - McConnell

(This December 29 story has been corrected to rectify spelling of Perdue in paragraph six) WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell on Tuesday put off a vote on increasing COVID-19 relief checks from $600 to $2,000 and urged senators to override President Donald Trump’s veto of a defense bill, in a rare challenge to his fellow Republican three weeks before Trump leaves office. McConnell tied the larger checks, which were demanded by Trump and supported by Democrats, to two other measures the president wants but which most Democrats oppose. The maneuver was likely to kill off all three measures. Trump earlier on Tuesday assailed Republican leaders on Twitter, seeking to pressure them into increasing the checks and supporting his veto of the defense bill because it doesn’t repeal legal protections for social media companies that he wants scrapped.
