Moscow rejected new sanctions imposed on it by the U.S. late Tuesday, describing the restrictions led by President Joe Biden's administration as "hostile," NBC LA reported. Russia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said last night that it would retaliate. "This is just a pretext for the continuing undisguised interference in our domestic affairs, and we will not accept this," Maria Zakharova, a Russian foreign ministry spokeswoman, said in a statement. "Based on the principle of reciprocity, we will respond but not necessarily with symmetrical measures." She added that sanctions would fail: "Any hopes to impose something on Russia by way of sanctions or other pressure have failed in the past and will fail now."

Here’s who qualifies for a $1,400 stimulus payment under the American Rescue Plan.

Individuals earning an adjusted gross income (AGI) up to $75,000 (and married couples earning up to $150,000) will receive $1,400 each, plus $1,400 for each dependent. That means an eligible family of four will receive $5,600.

After those income thresholds, the payments phase out. Individuals earning an AGI over $100,000 per year and couples earning over $200,000 will not receive a check.

Unlike the previous two payments, adult dependents qualify for this round. A previous report from the American Enterprise Institute estimates that as many as 26 million more people — mainly college students, disabled adults and elderly Americans — will now be eligible for a payment. The check could arrive as soon as next month.

The payments are based on either 2019 or 2020 income. That means taxpayers may want to file their taxes before the bill passes if that would net them a larger stimulus payment.

While many workers have run into delays receiving the unemployment insurance they’re entitled to, stimulus checks, which are disbursed by the Internal Revenue Service rather than state governments, can help them stay current on their bills.

Whose idea was this? Minneapolis has scrapped part of a $1.2 million "community engagement plan".
