WASHINGTON – The U.S. House on Wednesday passed a massive spending bill intended to offset the health and economic damage inflicted by the COVID-19 pandemic that will send direct payments to millions of Texans and billions of dollars in aid for state and local governments and schools.

On Saturday, both of the state's Republican senators, John Cornyn and Ted Cruz, voted against the bill. The House passed a previous version of this bill in late February but Democratic moderates in the Senate were successful in scaling back the legislation. The original House bill also included a minimum wage hike to $15 per hour, but the Senate parliamentarian ruled out that provision.

Members of the Three Percenters were among the extremists who stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6. Police were ill-prepared for the mass of Trump supporters in tactical gear, some armed, and it took hours for National Guard reinforcements to come. “We have obtained intelligence that shows a possible plot to breach the Capitol by an identified militia group on Thursday, March 4.” Police did not identify the militia group in the statement.

Guard troops who had been waiting on buses were then rushed to the Capitol, arriving in 18 minutes, Walker said.

SAN ANTONIO – After nearly three months, District 1 Councilman Roberto Trevino is still pushing for another round of city help specifically for businesses in the food and beverage sector. Trevino submitted a council consideration request (CCR) on Oct. 15 regarding a “Food and Beverage Worker Relief Program,” which he envisions as a $35 million in grants for businesses. Of that, $8.7 million of which went to the food and beverage sector, which could include not just bars and restaurants, but also businesses such as caterers. Nirenberg said 227 grants were awarded to the food and beverage sector, and according to city staff, “all eligible food and beverage applicants received grants.”However, Trevino says that’s far from all the city’s restaurants.

The U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday ruled against the Trump administration’s efforts to end the Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, declaring in a 5-to-4 opinion that the 2012 initiative was inappropriately terminated by the Trump administration. The court's decision comes nearly three years after Trump announced he was terminating the policy, known as DACA, that has protected more than 130,000 Texans from deportation, the second-highest total after California. Trump's reason for ending the program echoed what many Republicans, including some in Texas, said when it was enacted: immigration law is under the purview of the U.S. Congress and not the executive branch alone. The program gave them a renewable, two-year work permit and a reprieve from deportation. This is a developing story and will be updated
