Senate adjourns without extending expiring unemployment benefits

[spanone]

The Senate has adjourned until 3 p.m. on Monday, as Congress failed to reach an agreement on extending extra unemployment benefits that are set to expire on Friday.

Why it matters: Tens of millions of Americans are out of work and have been receiving $600 per week on top of their regular unemployment payments. That money has been used both to pay expenses and to prop up the broader economy via consumer spending.

The state of play: Congress and the Trump administration are still painfully deadlocked over the next stimulus bill, with at least 20 Senate Republicans pledging to vote "no" on another massive relief package no matter what.

1. So rent is due while they get 3 day weekend.

It's almost as if they want food riots to add to Trump's commercials about how bad a Biden administration would be.

6. If there's a food riot during tRump's term,

it'll be Biden's fault?

7. In reality, no.

But he uses footage of current protests to project a dystopian world if he's not reelected.
