Congressional leaders on Sunday night reached a deal on a new coronavirus relief package which has been in the works since before the 2020 General Election. The deal includes two parts: a new economic stimulus bill totaling $900 billion and a $1.4 trillion omnibus spending bill to continue funding the federal government through next September.

As reported by Politico, it is expected that the bills will be passed before midnight on Monday, when funding for the government is set to expire.

For my family, bad things always seem to happen between Thanksgiving and New Year's.

It started in the 1990s with a car trip from San Diego, California, where we were living, to Kansas City to visit family. A mostly uneventful trip, until we were the victims of a near carjacking in front of a New Mexico hotel after a long day of driving.

My mom, who scared off the carjacker, talked with the police officers after the incident and found out that gang violence in the area was high. It was likely some type of initiation.

UPS driver Anthony Gaskin was brought to tears by the spontaneous generosity of his community which threw him a massive surprise celebration thanking him for his hard work throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.

WTRV reports that Gaskin's daily deliveries "have been life-saving, both literally and figuratively, to the Midlothian neighbors."

To express their appreciation for his hard work, dozens of cars and hundreds of his customers lined a street on his daily route and waited for him to show up on December 15.

When he turned the corner, the community erupted into cheers while little kids held signs and adults honked their horns in adulation.
