day 50 of the biden administration and exactly halfway through his first 100 days in office the president is marking two big accomplishments. today he secured a landmark bill for federal aid, and he announced that over 100 million more covid vaccines will soon be in the pipeline and then in arms across our country. this afternoon congress cleared biden s signature domestic packages, $1.9 trillion national relief package. this bill represents a historic, historic victory for the american people. the bill won final passage in the house of representatives on a straight party line vote, 220-211 with biden looking on from the executive mansion. there we go. [ applause ] the white house says the president plans to sign the legislation on friday. americans should know this aid they re about to get is from the democrats. that is not a political statement at all. only democrats voted for it. not a single republican in the house or the senate. this is the most consequential l
220-211 with biden looking on from the executive mansion. there we go. [ applause ] the white house says the president plans to sign the legislation on friday. americans should know this aid they re about to get is from the democrats. that is not a political statement at all. only democrats voted for it. not a single republican in the house or the senate. this is the most consequential legislation that many of us will ever be a party to. we said if we won those two seats in georgia we would get things done. mr. ossoff and mr. warnock told the citizens of georgia if they were elected, they would make sure that the actual promises made would be promises kept. this bill offers one of the largest infusions of federal aid since the great depression. in many ways it redraws our social safety net and thus has been described in terms of the new deal and the great society. it includes those $1,400 stimulus checks, extended unemployment benefits, funds for states and small bu
Nostalgia for obama during this era of trump, especially when you compare that speech from the fourth of july five years ago to what we heard yesterday on the white house lawn. American heroes defeated the nazis, dethroned the fascists, toppled the communists, saved american values, upheld american principles and chased down the terrorists to the very ends of the earth. We are now in the process of defeating the radical left, the marksist marxists, the agitators, the looters, the anarchists, and people who in many instances have absolutely no clue what theyre doing. Trump once again, and unsurprisingly, is amplifying racial divides in america rather than attempting to unify a country that is in crisis from both the coronavirus pandemic and a National Reckoning on race centuries in the making. His us versus them rhetoric comesemboldened white people pulling guns on protesters. This viral video shows a Woman Holding a gun on a black mother and her two daughters in a chipotle parking lot.
Against donald trump, incitement of insurrection, stemming from the january 6th riot at the capitol will go to the Senate Monday night. His trial will not begin until february 9 giving lawmakers two weeks to focus on other business like President Bidens cabinet and agenda. During that period, the senate will continue to do other business for the American People, such as cabinet nominations and the covid relief bill, which would provide relief for millions of americans who are suffering during this pandemic. Schumer added that the chamber will vote monday on janet yellen nomination as treasury secretary. The trials signal something of a compromise between the senates two party leaders. Just yesterday Mitch Mcconnell had proposed that the trial be left sometime in february. Well, this afternoon President Biden who has tried to keep his distance from the entire impeachment subject made it clear he was in favor it seemed to be indeed of pushing it to next month.

Well, this afternoon President Biden who has tried to keep his distance from the entire impeachment subject made it clear he was in favor it seemed to be, indeed, of pushing it to next month. The more time we have to get up and running to meet the crises, the better. Senate democrats will need 17 republicans to cross the aisle to convict former President Trump, something his ally, Lindsey Graham, thinks is unlikely. Those presid
