    I survived a murderous newsroom shooting in 2018, losing five of my Capital Gazette family. their families destroyed. My head was nearly shot off, multiple slugs missing by a fraction of an inch. This stuff makes me sick. We're your neighbors, family and friends doing our best.

    Here's the Executive Order for the payroll tax deferral. Workers earning under $4,000 every 2 weeks (so ~$100k/year) won't have to pay payroll tax from Sept. 1 - December 31. **But the taxes will still be due later unless Congress makes it a true tax cut**

    Senate Rs -- those that may actually support a deal - have quietly said anything over $2 trillion is a non starter. Schumer says the votes don't exist in the Dem-led House to pass anything less than $2 trillion. Therein lies a pretty major problem.

    Great piece on who stands to take the hit if the $600 per week is allowed to expire. As Ryan notes, this would take as much as $19 billion PER WEEK out of people's incomes at a really difficult time. Weekly GDP is about $414 billion, so this is a ~4.6% hit.

    PUC (the $600 UI add-on) is scheduled to expire in a couple weeks. What do we know about current UI recipients - particularly their ages and occupations? How much income will different groups lose when PUC expires?
