Even though the $2,000 checks are up in the air, the Treasury Department is sending $600 checks and direct deposits: I'm refreshing my bank account. Leave a comment when your stimmy drops. .@USTreasury has delivered a payment file to the @FederalReserve for Americans’ Economic Impact Payments. These payments may begin to arrive in some accounts by direct deposit as early as tonight and will continue into next week (1/2) The physical checks are expected to start mailing out tomorrow: Later this week, you can begin checking the status of your payment here. Mkay, but what's next for that extra potential $1,400 payment? McConnell might be "thinking about linking the $2,000 check proposal to additional demands Trump has made on Congress," like changing Section 230, muses Ed Kilgore. "He can later let it come to the floor without conditions or with conditions acceptable to Democrats. Or he can effectively kill the idea by inserting it in poison pills that Trump has endorsed but that Democrats won’t accept; Republicans supporting a bigger check aren’t likely also to repudiate Trump’s additional demands." Approving the CASH Act would require 12 Republican votes on top of all the Democrats.
