Many sources are reporting that Trump finally signed the pandemic relief bill:
Not gonna summarize all the bits in it - it's some 5k pages of legalese gobbledygook, but I understand it continues augmented unemployment benefits, eviction suspension, funding to prevent government shutdown, and another direct cash payment.
I'm sure it also has a bunch of "porky pork", but the people are suffering, time is of essence, and it should have been done months ago.

Perhaps he was told he needed to sign, otherwise the election in Georgia would be in danger? Definitely not handled with great skill though.

Spoke too soon: Newsmax is reporting that the House has agreed to up the individual payments to $2k. If the House agrees, I think it should pass the Republican Senate.
