The Republican-led Senate, which must sign off on any new round of checks, has gone home for the month.

President Trump on Friday again blamed Democrats for holding up the next round of federal coronavirus relief, suggesting that he’s ready to sign off on crucial aid provisions while top Democrats have dug in their heels. That’s not the whole story. Getty ImagesTrump tweeted that he has directed Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin to prepare to send more stimulus checks.

He also said that he’s ready to direct the Small Business Association and Treasury Department to send more funding to small businesses, and that he’s ready to send more aid to state and local governments. Top Democrats met with the Trump Administration daily for nearly two weeks to hash out the next bill, but a self-imposed deadline passed last Friday without an agreement.

The main point of contention between the two sides—the GOP was so mired in internal disagreements that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell didn’t even attend the meetings—was the bill’s price tag. In May, Democrats passed a sweeping $3.4 trillion package, while the White House wants a targeted $1 trillion bill; Democrats have said they’re willing to shave $1 trillion off their ask if the Administration will come up $1 trillion .with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Wednesday, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer accused the White House of being unwilling to adjust its position on the size and scope of the bill while Democrats have “repeatedly” compromised.

Trump Can't Be Racist Because He Donated Money To Kamala Harris, Says Trump CampaignPresident Trump has already gleefully taken to calling Sen. Kamala Harris—Joe Biden’s official 2020 running mate— “nasty” and “mean,” but he must not have thought she was so bad when he donated $6,000 to her re-election campaign.\n And he’s friends with Kanye. You can be racist if you have acknowledged that someone is black. Noticing someone is black is the pinnacle of anti-racism

‘Go play football,’ Trump says, urging schools to reopen in fallTrump says he’s looking at ways to implement direct payment to parents ‘so that if a school is closed, the family can go to another school.’ The way it should be. Schools should not be hammocks for talentless idiots posing as teachers. That is a the worst idea ever. Only helps those in the upper mid economic classes. Are those the only kids that matter to the president in America? Good idea
