Trump's unemployment payments end for some almost as soon as they start

At least a dozen states have begun to pay their jobless residents hundreds of dollars from the Lost Wages Assistance program, which Trump authorized last month. But at least one state, Texas, has already announced the cessation of the weekly boost. The President created the program through an executive action after Congress failed to act on its $600 unemployment benefits enhancement, which expired at the end of July.

said Wednesday. So far, it has distributed $30 billion of the $44 billion available. Read MoreStates have the option of adding $100 a week to the payment. At least four states -- Kansas, Kentucky, Montana and West Virginia -- have elected to do so. Many out-of-work Texans, however, are seeing their federal supplement come to an end.

informed the Texas Workforce Commission that the program will cease after the week ending September 5, though the unemployed will continue to get state benefits, the state agency said Wednesday. Texas was one of the first states to launch the program, sending out initial payments in late August for the first three weeks of the month.About 1.7 million Texans currently receive jobless benefits, but about 348,000 claimants are not eligible for the extra $300.

Thank Trump for doing what Congress refused to do!!!

It's Sept 10, and the Democrats are STILL holding COVID-19 RELIEF & STIMULUS hostage to advance their LEFTIST AGENDA: No voter ID; Cash for non-citizens; Taxpayer funded abortion. They put THEIR AGENDA first, NOT FamiliesFirst. Their HEROES ACT is a SCAM.

PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS DONE WELL TzedakahBat

One unemployed worker on line responded that he wishes that he had his dead wife back, and that Trump had acted on the deadly airborne virus he knew about sooner instead...

Do they really not grasp that, near 90% adherence with social distancing guidelines, masks, and regular hand washing, could have nipped this in the bud in as little as 4 weeks (give it 6 just to be sure)? It's a simple matter of biology, deprive the virus of hosts.

Well if Pelosi actually cared about the people in America there would have already been a relief bill. Instead she pushing in a bunch of their bullshit agenda items that have zero to do with the relief for us.

Joe Biden outraises President Donald Trump by more than $150M in AugustDemocratic presidential nominee Joe Biden raised $154.5 million more in campaign funds in August than President Donald Trump.

Under normal circumstances this is where trump would file for a bankruptcy. Biden is more Orange than Trump, the the press pretends not to notice. Just like how then fail to report that Joe Biden's only good ideas are stolen from Trump.

Opinion | Trump was lying to Americans about COVID as soon as the Senate killed impeachmentTo Republicans senators who thought 'how much harm can Trump do before the election?' when voting not to convict: The answer, it turns out, is “plenty.' THINK George Orwell said that 'After 50, men get the face they deserve.' A ravaged Donald Trump certainly got his just deserts. LincolnProject THINK Jim Jones only killed 918 people at Jonestown, this murderer Trump has killed 190,000 American Souls. He is guilty of negligent Homicide, and Criminal proceedings should be initiated. Make no mistake his willingness to mislead the Country into a Storm of Death is reprehensible. THINK Caravans of immigrants are on their way to the border. There are terrorists coming on planes to America. Your suburbs are going to be abolished/taken over. There are antifa anarchists on the streets of America. But... “I don’t want to cause panic over Covid-19” Riight 🤣
