PolitiFact s ruling: Mostly False
With only nine days until Inauguration Day, the Democrats’ move to impeach Trump is unlikely to result in his removal from office. But a viral social media post says it could have lasting effects on his future in public life.
The post, published by the liberal Facebook page The Other 98% on Jan. 9, outlined four potential consequences for Trump if the House votes to impeach him for a second time: For those wondering if it’s worth impeaching him this time, it means he:
Loses his 200k+ pension for the rest of his life
Loses his 1 million dollar/year travel allowance
Would Trump lose post-presidency benefits if impeached?

Now that President Donald Trump has signed a $900 billion relief package authorizing a new round of direct payments, the new question for many is when they will receive the $600 checks.
Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin said late Tuesday that direct deposits will begin tonight, and paper checks will start being mailed Wednesday.
The Internal Revenue Service will distribute the $600 checks for every eligible man, woman and child, and people can check the website IRS.gov/GetMyPayment to see the status of their payment.
A lot of blanks to fill in re: Biden administration

Not everyone believes Joe Biden s promise to not raise taxes on those who make less than $400,000 a year.
Pete Sepp, president of the National Taxpayers Union (NTU), warns that if Biden proposes some of the same kinds of changes to tax laws that he did on the campaign trail, then middle class taxpayers could still feel the pinch. He has, for example, proposed a whole raft of new Green New Deal proposals that could mean increases in gasoline taxes, Sepp notes. There could be changes to the way that small businesses claim that 20% tax credit they received thanks to the 2017 tax law, and there could be other types of fee increases for all sorts of government services that a Biden administration could not only propose, but potentially enact.
