Congress

Congressional Democrats are plowing ahead with passing a nearly $2 trillion coronavirus relief bill that could provide a substantial financial boost to some American families. 

President Biden's $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief bill could automatically trigger billions of dollars in cuts to Medicare and other federal programs, according to new findings published by the Congressional Budget Office.

House Democrats are set to pass President Biden's $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief package in a Friday evening vote.

Progressive Democrats launched a last-minute campaign urging the White House to overrule a top Senate official who decided late Thursday night that a federal minimum wage increase could not be included in the coronavirus relief package.

The Senate Parliamentarian said on Thursday night that a federal minimum wage hike to $15 per hour does not fit the criteria to be included in the Democrats’ $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief package, a source confirmed to FOX Business.

A massive coronavirus relief bill that Democrats plan to pass on a party-line vote includes millions of dollars for a taxpayer-funded nonprofit group with a scandal-ridden history. 

Costco will raise its minimum wage to $16 an hour starting next week, CEO Craig Jelinek said.
