Under the deal, laid-off workers will receive $300-a-week federal unemployment benefits on top of their state benefits until Sept. 6. And the first $10,200 in unemployment benefits received in 2020 will be tax-free for households with less than $150,000 in annual income. ADVERTISEMENT Democratic senators say Biden was “very involved” in trying to mediate. They say that Biden, who served in the Senate from 1973 to 1996, called Manchin directly to get him to support a compromise proposal backed by the rest of the Democratic caucus. “President Biden has been very involved as you would expect him to be,” said a Democratic senator familiar with the negotiations. The senator said both sides had been trading paper back and forth through Friday afternoon and characterized the talks as “delicate.” The deal Biden helped craft extends weekly unemployment benefits to Sept. 6, which is a week longer than the Aug. 29 end date set by House-passed legislation. But the House-passed bill set weekly benefits at $400 a week, and progressive House lawmakers are likely to be angered ...

The president is expected to lay out his “Build Back Better” recovery plan sometime after the Senate passes its $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief bill, which the chamber took up on Thursday and could pass by the weekend. While the White House has been mum on details of the recovery plan, it’s likely to at least partly mirror the $2 trillion infrastructure and climate proposal he laid out on the campaign trail and include a hefty investment in infrastructure to spur job creation.

Former Green Beret Joe Kent: Joe Biden Hasn’t Found Country He Doesn’t ‘Want to Give Trillions to or Invade’
Former Green Beret and Gold Star husband Joe Kent told Breitbart News there is a sharp divide between America First principles and the actions of the Joe Biden administration. Kent is challenging incumbent U.S. Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler (R-WA) in a primary after Beutler joined 9 other Republicans and the Democrats in impeaching former President Donald Trump in January. Kent said after nearly two decades of “almost continuous combat” and the loss of his wife, Navy Senior Chief Petty Officer Shannon Kent, to a suicide bomber while she was deployed in 2019 to Syria fighting ISIS, President Trump appealed to him because Trump contrasted the “rhetoric of both parties on why we needed to stay deeply involved in the Middle East and in these wars that never seem to benefit us.” He argued the U.S. was involved in wars because “our elected leaders had too much hubris to say that they had gotten it wrong and they continued to double and triple down” on failure. “President Trump’s foreign policy ties directly into his domestic policy getting us to a point where we are energy independent here makes it so that we don’t need to be involved in these endless wars in the Middle East,” Kent said. “Everything that President Trump did was putting the American people first,” he said. He told Breitbart News that President Joe Biden’s strategy is “completely different” from Trump’s strategy. “President Trump was using the full scope of American power, so President Trump was using military strikes only when necessary,” Kent said, citing the drone attack against Iranian General Qasem Soleimani. “He didn’t escalated any further and he took efforts to get us out of Iraq while using diplomacy against the Iraqi government,” he argued. Kent also complimented Trump’s strategy of pulling countries together with Israel in the Abraham Accords to isolate Iran. “Joe Biden and the neocons, the neoliberals, they have a much different vision. They believe that we can use consistent ...
McConnell keeps GOP guessing on Trump impeachment

The looming trial — the exact start of which remains unknown — is the biggest test to date of Trump’s relationship with Senate Republicans, threatening to not only splinter the caucus but also provide potential primary fodder for future election cycles. McConnell recently sent a letter to GOP senators that left the door open to convicting Trump after the House last week passed one article of impeachment accusing the president of "willfully inciting violence against the Government of the United States." Beyond that, Senate Republicans say they’ve received few signs from McConnell about where he’ll ultimately come down on the issue.
