The American Association of Port Authorities is asking Congress to proved $1.5 billion for ports because of lost revenue.

The proposal will come as part of the GOP's broader $1 trillion stimulus package aimed at helping workers and businesses still reeling from the coronavirus pandemic.

Sens. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., and Thom Tillis, R-N.C., have renewed an earlier push to ensure that American citizens who are married to foreign nationals without Social Security numbers receive stimulus payments.

The framework is expected to extend — but reduce substantially — just-expired expanded unemployment benefits, send a fresh round of $1,200 stimulus check to American adults earning less than $75,000 in August and funnel tens of billions of dollars in aid to schools and universities.  

The additional $600 benefit ends this week, with the unemployed only having access to state benefits that are often at poverty-income levels.
