So, what does that bill mean for you? Here’s a breakdown:
Stimulus checks of $1,400 will be sent to most Americans earning less than $75,000 a year. If you got a stimulus check last time, that does not necessarily mean you will get one this time. If you make more than $80,000 a year, you will not see any help.
The bill also means a child tax credit of up to $3,600 per child under the age of 17, which can make real money in your pocket, as well. If the credit is more than you owe on your taxes, you will get a refund.

SPOKANE, Wash. Washington Representative Dan Newhouse (R – WA 04) said in a statement on Monday that he is not resigning after facing criticism from six leaders of Republican groups across the state over his vote to impeach President Donald Trump.
In a statement issued on Jan. 13, Newhouse said in part that a vote against this impeachment is a vote to validate the unacceptable violence we witnessed in our nation s capital [sic], referring to the mob of Trump supporters who stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6.

SPOKANE, Wash. Representative Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R – WA 05) was the only representative from the state of Washington to vote against the articles of impeachment brought against President Donald Trump on Wednesday.
All Washington Democratic representatives, along with Republicans Dan Newhouse (R – WA 04) and Jaime Herrera Beutler (R – WA 03), voted to impeach President Trump.
Rodgers released a statement explaining her decision shortly after the vote was held. Based on my assessment of Constitutionally-protected speech, I do not believe his words constitute an incitement of violence as laid out in Supreme Court precedent. Further, impeachment is not something for us to take lightly, and the fact that Speaker Pelosi is rushing this process and has chosen not to hold hearings or extend debate on the questions at hand makes me question her motives as nothing more than politics, the statement reads in part.
