U.S. carries out airstrikes against Iranian-backed militia facilities in Syria

Seldom do I agree with Socialist/Democrats, but yeah this time I think they are right.

This whole 'bombing Syria' thing brought it home for me. Biden did not order this strike.

From NY Post, February 26, 2021:

President Biden is facing bipartisan backlash after ordering the bombing on Thursday of a facility in Syria allegedly used by an Iran-allied militia group.

It was the first overseas strike ordered by Biden, and his administration said it was intended to deter future attacks on US troops in Iraq. But he swiftly faced a chorus of criticism from left-wing Democrats and libertarian and conservative Republicans.

Are you saying that Mr. Biden did not order this bombing?

Senate Democrats and Joe Biden struck a last minute deal over Biden's $1.9 trillion pandemic relief bill, choosing to keep federal unemployment benefit payments at $400 per week but phase out the measure's $1,400 stimulus checks more quickly. As Politico notes, the decision, which speeds up the phasing out of checks, reflects a demand from moderates to curb the ability of high-income earners to receive the stimulus payments.

Under the agreement, individuals who make up to $75,000 per year or couples who make up to $150,000 per year will still receive a $1,400 check. But the Senate bill, which as we noted earlier will be unveiled as soon as later today, substantially reduces the income window for receiving a partial check: Compared to $100,000 under the House bill the checks will now phase out completely at an income threshold of $80,000 for individuals under the Senate deal. For couples, the checks would phase out completely at an income threshold of $160,000 under the Senate deal, compared to $200,000 for the House bill. The phase-outs will start at $75,000 and $150,000 respectively.

This, as Breaking911 calculates, means that "stimulus checks will now go out to fewer people than under Trump"
