Dec 29, 2020 Vietnam veteran and Purple Heart recipient Alford Washington, Sr., receives a Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine from nurse Alanna Williams at the Southeast Louisiana Veterans Health Care System’s gymnasium in New Orleans on Thursday. Washington was part of the Pathfinder Unit in Vietnam where he survived a plane crash that killed 7 people in Oct. 28, 1967. He said he had no concerns receiving the COVID-19 vaccine.

US House votes to override Donald Trump s veto of defence policy bill

House members voted 322-87 to override the veto, well above the two-thirds needed to override. If approved by two-thirds of the Senate, the override would be the first of Trump s presidency. Trump rejected the defense bill last week, saying it failed to limit social media companies he claims were biased against him during his failed reelection campaign. Trump also opposes language that allows for the renaming of military bases that honor Confederate leaders. The defense bill, known as the National Defense Authorization Act, or NDAA, affirms 3 per cent pay raises for US troops and authorises more than USD 740 billion in military programs and construction.

Associated Press WASHINGTON The House voted overwhelmingly Monday to increase COVID-19 relief checks to $2,000, meeting President Donald Trump’s demand for bigger payments and sending the bill to the GOP-controlled Senate, where the outcome is highly uncertain.

While Democrats favored bigger checks, Congress had settled on smaller $600 payments in a compromise over the big year-end relief bill Trump reluctantly signed into law. The president’s GOP allies opposed more spending and Trump’s push puts them in a difficult spot. The vote was a stunning turn of events from just days ago, when House Republicans blocked Trump’s demands during a Christmas Eve session. After Trump spent days fuming from his private club in Florida, where he is spending the holidays, dozens of Republicans preferred to link with Democrats rather than buck the outgoing

Donald Trump signs COVID relief bill after delay

Donald Trump signs COVID relief bill after delay Shealah Craighead (via White House) / Wikimedia Commons Tuesday, December 29, 2020 8:18 AM UTC Related Stories The COVID-19 pandemic has seen millions struggle to make ends meet financially, even during the Christmas season. Outgoing president Donald Trump has finally signed the highly-negotiated COVID relief bill but a little too late. Trump finally signed the COVID relief and government funding bill on Sunday night, days after receiving the bill, and just when unemployment aid had already lapsed. This is the latest in Trump’s questionable behavior as he leaves office in less than 30 days. The delay in signing the bill also comes as the government was within 30 hours of shutting down from lack of funding. Rather than explaining what caused the delay - which was a combined factor of Republican lawmakers drawing his ire and the amount that would be placed on the d
