Any unemployment extension news today?

I seared but I couldn't find anything. Yesterday I read that Trump was caving on the $600, but have seen nothing today. Are they talking?

1. They are talking.

Actually, Ds are talking. Rs are lying.

3. I heard turtle has bailed out of the talks.

2. I believe in an election year, he will cave

on the $600. He doesn't care. Not his money. He needs to buy some voters. Not that it will work.

4. If I were Trump/Mitch (perish the thought) and wanted to win re-election, I'd offer $800 a week

Why do they care? They aren't paying for it.

5. They don't want the American people getting the idea

that socialism might be a good thing for them.

9. It's not him it's senate Republicans

[LizBeth]

6. Two things I have seen. I saw Grassley reiterate not paying people more than they earn. Trump is

put it out there about unilaterally pushing it thru without congress.

7. If/when it gets extended, will it be retroactive to last week?

Say they settle on $400 in a few weeks, will that $400 be paid in back pay?

8. I asked this yesterday

No one knows, but the consensus was probably yes.
