‘Stimmy’ and ‘Direct Deposit’ Become Huge Twitter Trends as Biden’s Covid Relief Payments Hit Bank Accounts

By Tommy ChristopherMar 13th, 2021, 8:34 am

Social media users celebrated in droves when direct payments from President Joe Biden’s $1.9 trillion “American Rescue Plan” began hitting bank accounts Friday, turning “direct deposit” and “stimmy” into top Twitter trends.

President Biden, with Vice President Kamala Harris at his side, signed the $1.9 trillion bill into law Thursday, a day earlier than expected. By Friday, the $1,400.00 direct payments from the bill began showing up in people’s pockets, and the social media explosion began.

MSNBC host Ari Melber detailed some of the meme-ery using his signature nerdy recitation of hip-hop bit, offering a clinical dissection of the “Moneybagg Joe” gag’s relationship to rapper Moneybagg Yo.

Here are some of the reactions to Friday’s windfall.
