I need someone to be angry with me in the confirmation hearing thread. Because the GOP is pulling SOME SHIT right now. Vanita? I decided against watching that one for my mental health.

They've barely asked Lisa Monaco anything. Her questions are coming from the left but are mostly supportive (except Mr. Whitehouse who was just being himself)

This is a good clip. Earlier this year or last I saw a quote that correctly stated we are in a time where far too many are getting representation WITHOUT taxation, or outsized power.

Jen's up.
Bharat Ramamurti from the NEC is with her. He's talking about the exclusivity period in the small business relief component of ARP designed to see that mom and pop type shops have access to capital.

It's working; they're seeing significantly more loans going to very small businesses and women- and minority- owned businesses, as well as first time PPP recipients. Good. That was a debacle last spring.

PPP applications were getting rejected if the proprietor was behind or delinquent on federally student loans (WTF) and the Biden administration has ended that practice.

Are y'all concerned about inflation in the wake of ARP stimulus?
Ramamurti: the last guys didn't do any verification to make sure giant ineligible companies didn't get PPP funds, but we are doing that because freaking Walmart doesn't need a bailout. Inflation is always a concern and something we monitor continuously.

Responding to a question about the deficit, he says that fiscal responsibility is a priority of POTUS but that they believe injecting this funding into the economy facilitates long term growth which helps control the deficit over time

IRS is "building on lessons learned from previous rounds" to get more people their relief funds, electronically whenever possible
It sounds like if you used the non-filer portal to get your stimulus check in the previous round, you'll get your check this time

On Friday morning POTUS is meeting digitally with his counterparts in "the Quad," formed in the wake of the Tsunami
(India, Australia, Japan and US). This is the first meeting at the Chief Executive level and they'll discuss partnership for security and safety in the Indo-Pacific region as well as climate change.

Nobody in the administration is willing to confirm the number of unaccompanied minors at the border? 🤨

So in the first round of stimulus both parents got direct deposit. the last they were both sent a card. I can only assume it was because of social security but it was really weird and I hope they dont do that again. because FEES

She's reiterating the process for unaccompanied minors at the border. Right now a big priority is working to implement CDC guidance for the CBP/HHS facilities so they can get kids to the best possible place for them as quickly as possible. Lots of focus on getting them out of CBP and over to HHS/ORR as quickly as possible, plus reviewing the process for locating and betting families for them to go to.

Will you all issue "vaccine passports" to encourage/allow people to travel on commercial airlines?
Jen: right now the focus is on getting people vaccines. The private sector will probably be the main driver of that specific possible approach.

First batch of payments goes to filers who provided direct deposit info for 2019/2020 returns
Next batch goes to filers who didn't direct deposit but for whom bank account information is available.
POTUS doesn't feel the need to sign them.
