Trump signs stimulus despite protest
THE HILL
Unemployment assistance has lapsed for a day but the government will avoid shutdown. Congressional GOP leadership had no control of Trump and little inclination to work with him. But they correctly predicted that Trump didn’t want to be the reason that benefits expired. In what might his final consequential act as president, Trump recognized that he had no power this late in the game.

I think it was happy hour 12/4 where you talked about when to open gifts. I am in your side and my partner is on Ashley's. My partner's birthday is also the 27th. I want to open gifts on Christmas day! She wants them asap and they're have to be discrete Christmas and birthday gifts since her parents always bundled. - SEAN W

Wow, slow clap for Feature Story! Y'all crushed it. Justin your editing game is on point.
I haven't looked into Jordan Peterson too much, but anytime I hear something from him directly, it seems thoughtful, poignant and centrist, very different from what's reported of him. Maybe I'm not listening to the right clips, but I'm happy to hear someone bringing a well-reasoned perspective regardless of their political perspectives. I particularly liked his discussion with Russell Brand, clearly, Peterson and Brand disagree on many issues, yet they can have a civil discourse, that's the world I want to live in. - KEN
I too didn’t know much about Peterson when we started the project. He seems to be someone that is simultaneously very happy and very upset to be that famous. What he really wants to talk about is very un-sexy and yet the applications of those larger thoughts are the straw that stirs his drink.

Not gonna lie, as a more neutral person (I hate all politicians equally, including Trump) I legit laughed out loud for a while when I heard the news about the veto of the stimulus check because it wasn't big enough. So 2020. So Trump. So crazy. - VAUGHN
