So, what is going to happen. Are they going to extend UI? Trump is now pushing Republicans to not

extend. I think they have to and they know it. They low ball with 100 a week. They have to for the economy alone. Maybe for votes but certainly not because they care what is going to happen to people.

I know no one knows what is going to happen, but a guess. Do you think Trump will interfere and Republicans and Dems won't come to an agreement, or it will get done?

Anyone not receive your tax return yet? I sent them turbo April 2. I need check thru mail.

Right after I sent in my tax return in April I was reading that the stimulus was coming out and they were going to put refunds on hold. Then I read it might be Aug until I received my refund. I thought maybe after July 15 I would get mine and I still haven't. I received state 2-3 weeks after sending them in April 2.

My taxes are pretty straight forward so I can't imagine there is a problem with them and state had no problem. My son did them for me so I do not have the information to check on a site people have given me. Before I start nagging him, I thought I would ask if anyone else is in my situation.

They are talking about sending out another stimulus and I am concerned that will put a halt to taxes again.

Thanks.

FIXED: A couple weeks ago I had an update and tried to force edge on me. Continued with Chrome.

Last night did an update and even when I click on my Chrome, where I have all my sites, when I click new tab it automatically is taking me to edge and I cannot find a way to dismantle. I am so computer stupid. Does anyone know anything about this and how I can get my chrome new tabs?

Edit: I am leaving this here because I saw at least one poster that had the same issue with edge. There is an easy fix.

Settings
Search browser.
it will pop up a choice for Chrome. But, even that they are manipulative by having reset, which will reset to fault being edge. I hate dishonest. Manipulative.

What has increased in cost under Trump. Had one saying Trump better because less taxes, ACA cost him

I know with taxes the payroll tax decreased some but we are paying out more in our tax return. ACA did cost people because health insurance was required, so I am not going to say anything about that. But what has Trump done that cost us more today?

China has increased cost of goods for us? We pay more at the end of the year?

Thanks.

Edit: Also it is being said Obama worked with Putin the same as Trump when I discussed the bounty. I know at first Obama tried dialogue with N Korea and didn't work then got tough. But where are they getting Obama treated Putin the same?

Kelly Preston has died. She was 57.

"On the morning of July 12, 2020, Kelly Preston, adored wife and mother, passed away following a two-year battle with breast cancer," a family representative tells PEOPLE exclusively.

"Choosing to keep her fight private, she had been undergoing medical treatment for some time, supported by her closest family and friends," the family rep says. "She was a bright, beautiful and loving soul who cared deeply about others and who brought life to everything she touched. Her family asks for your understanding of their need for privacy at this time."

Preston is survived by her husband John Travolta and their children: daughter Ella, 20, and 9-year-old son Benjamin. Son Jett died at age 16 in January 2009.

Oregon Gov. Our businesses want to stay open, listen to them.

Governor Kate Brown
9 mins ·
Small businesses across Oregon want to stay open while keeping their employees and their customers safe. Listen to why they're asking you to #MaskUp4SmallBiz and wear a face covering at their shops, restaurants, breweries, and other independent businesses.

I really appreciate this Governor. She is always having conversation. Most are thinking people here in Oregon. A common goal. Take care of the people and that includes business owners and employees. This is a way to have the conversation respectfully and I see it rub off on the behavior of the community, collectively and even govt employees including our police.

Broadway Star Nick Cordero Dies at 41 After Over 90 Days in Hospital from Coronavirus Complications

Broadway star Nick Cordero has died after a months-long battle with the coronavirus. He was 41.

Cordero, whose Broadway credits include Waitress and Rock of Ages, died on Sunday morning at the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, where he had been hospitalized for over 90 days.

He is survived by his wife Amanda Kloots, whom he wed in September 2017, and their 1-year-old son Elvis Eduardo.

"God has another angel in heaven now. My darling husband passed away this morning. He was surrounded in love by his family, singing and praying as he gently left this earth. ⠀ I am in disbelief and hurting everywhere. My heart is broken as I cannot imagine our lives without him. Nick was such a bright light. He was everyone’s friend, loved to listen, help and especially talk. He was an incredible actor and musician. He loved his family and loved being a father and husband. Elvis and I will miss him in everything we do, everyday," she wrote on Instagram Sunday.

"To Nicks extraordinary doctor, Dr. David Ng, you were my positive doctor! There are not many doctors like you. Kind, smart, compassionate, assertive and always eager to listen to my crazy ideas or call yet another doctor for me for a second opinion. You’re a diamond in the rough," Kloots continued.

I do not care what any one says. It's bullshit telling me to go back to work in this mess. Every one

wear a mask and good luck. I want unemployment extend and here is why. Sue the govt's ass like Trump always does, I think we have a cases.

Experts, Progressive states, Doctors, Scientists all knew we should wait until middle of June, probably end of June. Then open.

Trump started pushing in middle May and the protest and Gov and red states started rushing opening and all the self righteous of the right, can't breathe, Mother day weekend, Memorial Day, Trump mocking reporters that wore them and telling them to take off, going into business without wearing when it was rule for everyone to wear.

Trump and the Republicans created this.

And they are telling me to go out and earn a paycheck of 1300 a month.

While making mask wearing as hard as possible, the only thing that will help me.

No.

They created this, literally. They cannot make me walk into this spike. And they owe me with their greed and stupidity and ineptness. When they start smartening up, being responsible, then I will consider going out and about and back to work. Unemployment end the end of July. It needs to be extended until we see the Govt actually doing what we all know it needs to do to protect us, creating a safer working environment. Just like, the military should just sit down and do nothing, watching and waiting for trump to finally address Putin assassination money that he said nothing about because supposedly he did not know. Now he does. Still waiting Trump. And nothing. Almost a week 5 days), and Trump has said nothing to Putin, done nothing to Putin, does not even care about a bounty on military.

We should have a nationwide sit in the month of Aug, watch the money flow stop. And we all know how to do it, having done it in April, part of May. Really that is all, wasn't very long. Because it was well into March before most started. By middle May people were going nuts.
