But she said Biden will also discuss immigration, gun safety, the pandemic and police reform. The speech will come just eight days after former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin was \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/trial-over-killing-of-george-floyd/2021/04/20/987777911/court-says-jury-has-reached-verdict-in-derek-chauvins-murder-trial\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">found guilty\u003c/a> on all counts for the death of George Floyd last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“[Biden] was in the Senate for 36 years.

But with COVID-19 protocols in place, only a fraction of members will be in attendance, and they will be unable to bring guests. [aside tag=\"politics\" label=\"More Related Stories\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Around 200 people in all are expected at the speech, instead of the roughly 1,600 who typically attend. First lady Jill Biden will be in the audience, along with Vice President Harris and second gentleman Doug Emhoff. Chief Justice John Roberts will be the only Supreme Court justice in attendance, and while Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Secretary of State Antony Blinken will be there, most of the Cabinet will not.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There will be no first lady’s box, which is typically filled with attendees invited by the president’s family. And given the scaled-back nature of the event, Psaki confirmed Tuesday that there will be no “designated survivor” for the address. (A designated survivor is an administration official who sits out a major presidential address in case of a disaster scenario.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another difference this year will be who is seated behind the president. Tradition calls for the vice president and the speaker of the House to appear behind the president when he addresses a joint session of Congress. This year, that will be Harris and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi — the first time two women will be in the frame. Biden will also be the first president to deliver the speech in front of a mask-wearing audience.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Who is delivering the Republican response? \u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Tim Scott of South Carolina, the only Black Republican in the Senate, will \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2021/04/22/989993117/republican-sen-tim-scott-will-deliver-gop-response-to-biden-address\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">deliver\u003c/a> the Republican response.

A DHS official acknowledged the task force has yet to reunite families but noted it remains committed to that goal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ve begun a process for reviewing and cross-checking those files,” said the DHS official, who spoke to reporters on condition of anonymity. “This is a manual process, manually going through each file, looking for clues. And it’s our hope and expectation that this process will review only a few additional families. But it’s important to look through them and make sure.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Concerns that the Trump administration started separating families within the first months of taking office have grown since the Justice Department’s Office of the Inspector General found that children had been separated from their parents during a pilot program before the Trump administration’s “zero tolerance” policy, which was first implemented in mid-2018. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The state has already spent $7.6 billion of that via a state stimulus package that will, among other things, send $600 payments to millions of low- to moderate-income Californians. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State lawmakers also set aside $6.6 billion to help schools return students to classrooms. And they are preparing another bill that would give $2.3 billion in tax breaks to businesses, bringing the state's total aid package to more than $16 billion.

The state uses that money to pay for various climate-related programs, including wildfire prevention and drinking water. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democratic Assemblyman Phil Ting of San Francisco, chair of the Assembly Budget Committee, said priorities include restoring previous spending cuts and doing more to help small businesses and the unemployed. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He also said the state could spend the money on construction projects that include expanding high-speed internet access and creating jobs that last for years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In January, state lawmakers agreed to use $2.6 billion in prior federal relief funding to pay off up to 80% of some tenants unpaid rent.

The White House says Biden plans to sign it on Friday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s welcome news to some Bay Area city leaders, who have advocated for more relief from the federal government.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco Mayor London Breed lauded the package, called the American Rescue Plan, for providing funding for vaccinations, direct support for families and people in need, and helping cities “maintain critical services and avoid layoffs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is what happens when we have a federal government that wants to invest in the success of states and cities,” Breed \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/LondonBreed/status/1369738349032828929?s=20\">said on Twitter\u003c/a> Wednesday. “The future of San Francisco and the country is brighter today as a result.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo and Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf were also among Bay Area leaders pushing for more funding in the federal relief package.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“American cities like San Jose have been on the front lines of the #COVID19 pandemic & paid a steep price,” Liccardo \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/sliccardo/status/1364988774581592066?s=20\">tweeted\u003c/a> in February, joining more than 400 mayors across the United States calling on Congress to pass the relief plan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bill will direct a new round of aid to Americans — in the form of direct payments, extended unemployment benefits, an expanded child tax credit and more — almost a year after the pandemic first upended daily life in the United States.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/LondonBreed/status/1369738349032828929\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Biden said in remarks on Saturday at the White House that funding for the American Rescue Plan will “get the country in a place to get back to normal.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This plan puts us on a path to beating the virus,” he said, following the Senate’s vote. “This plan gives those families who are struggling the most the help and the breathing room they need to get through this moment.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Biden also vowed to get the direct payments of up to $1,400 out the door starting “this month.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The House voted 220-211 with no Republicans voting in favor of the bill, despite calls for bipartisan support from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other Democratic leaders. One Democrat, Rep. Jared Golden of Maine, voted against the bill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The House passed a similar version of the plan last month, but had to approve changes to the legislation made by the Senate. One key difference is that the Senate’s version of the bill doesn’t include an increase to the federal minimum wage, a provision that was ruled out by the nonpartisan Senate parliamentarian.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Sam Liccardo, mayor of San Jose\"]‘American cities like San Jose have been on the front lines of the [COVID-19] pandemic [and] paid a steep price.’[/pullquote]The Senate also tightened the caps for direct payments, narrowing who would qualify for them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Beyond support for individuals and families — including an expanded child tax credit, the bill allocates billions of dollars to schools and to the distribution of COVID-19 vaccines, testing and supplies. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though Republicans have largely opposed the plan since Biden introduced it in January, the budget reconciliation process allowed Democrats to push the bill forward without support from across the aisle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The White House and congressional Democrats point to public opinion polls showing overwhelming support for the legislation, including the backing in some surveys from a majority of Republicans. While no GOP lawmakers in Congress voted for it, Democrats point out that some Republican state and local government officials are pressing for the aid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Biden is expected to sign the bill swiftly; the current enhanced federal unemployment benefits expire Sunday. He’ll also deliver the first prime-time address of his term Thursday to mark the one-year anniversary of the pandemic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here’s a closer look at some of the big-ticket provisions in the Senate-amended bill:\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Direct Payments\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The bill allocates funds for a third economic impact payment to qualifying Americans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Individuals earning up to $75,000 and couples earning up to $150,000 would receive the full direct payments of $1,400 per person. Individuals will also receive an additional $1,400 payment for each dependent claimed on their tax returns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Senate Democrats agreed to lower the income cutoff at which payments phase out from $100,000 to $80,000 for individuals, and from $200,000 to $160,000 for couples filing jointly, following demands from \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2021/03/03/973367877/senate-democrats-white-house-agree-to-tighter-income-limits-for-stimulus-checks\">moderate Democrats\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Unemployment Benefits\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Under the Senate version, federal unemployment insurance payments will remain at $300 per week — \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2021/03/05/974020325/senate-democrats-agree-to-extend-unemployment-benefits-through-september\">down from $400 per week\u003c/a> in the earlier package passed by the House. The benefits will extend through Sept. 6. The Senate’s bill makes the first $10,200 in unemployment payments nontaxable for households with incomes under $150,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Child Tax Credit\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The legislation would temporarily expand the \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2021/02/26/970999998/with-one-move-congress-could-lift-millions-of-children-out-of-poverty\">child tax credit\u003c/a>, increasing the amount to $3,000 for children ages 6 to 17 and $3,600 for children under age 6.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The amount is gradually reduced for couples earning over $150,000 and individuals earning over $75,000 per year. Families eligible for the full credit would get payments of up to $300 per child per month from July through the end of the year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Congressional Democrats and the White House may want to figure out how to make the credit permanent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_11862122 hero='https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/03/RS47577_iStock-915488206-qut-1020x538.jpg']\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Paycheck Protection Program\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The bill includes $7.25 billion in new money for the small-business loan program known as the Paycheck Protection Program and would allow more nonprofits to apply, including those groups that engage in advocacy and some limited lobbying. It also allows larger nonprofits to be eligible.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Education\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>There are over $128 billion in grants to state educational agencies, with 90% allocated to local educational agencies, plus $39 billion in grants to higher education institutions. Nearly $15 billion in funds are directed to the Child Care and Development Block Grant program to help support child care facilities, particularly in high-need areas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Senate version added a provision to make any student loan forgiveness passed between Dec. 31, 2020, and Jan. 1, 2026, tax-free — rather than having the forgiven debt be treated as taxable income.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Support for Low-Income Families\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The bill includes $4.5 billion for the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program, known as LIHEAP, to help families with home heating and cooling costs. One provision would give the agriculture secretary the authority and funding to temporarily boost the value of cash vouchers for the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) up to $35 per month for women and children for a four-month period during the pandemic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There is $1.4 billion in funding for programs authorized under the Older Americans Act, including support for nutrition programs, community-based support programs and the National Family Caregiver Support Program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bill provides $37 million to the Commodity Supplemental Food Program for low-income seniors.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Public Health\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is set to receive $7.5 billion to track, administer and distribute COVID-19 vaccines. Another $46 billion would go toward diagnosing and tracing coronavirus infections, and $2 billion would go toward buying and distributing various testing supplies and personal protective equipment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s a variety of provisions in the legislation to offer support to different industries. The Small Business Administration would get $25 billion for a new grant program for “restaurants and other food and drinking establishments.” Grants would be up to $10 million per entity and $5 million per physical location, with a maximum of 20 locations. The legislation sets aside $5 billion of the total money to be targeted to businesses with less than $500,000 in revenue in 2019. The bill includes another $1.25 billion for the Small Business Administration’s Shuttered Venue Operators Grant program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To support the transportation sector, the bill allocates nearly $30 billion for transit costs, including payroll and personal protective equipment; $8 billion for airports; $3 billion for a temporary payroll support program to help support the aerospace manufacturing industry; and $1.5 billion to recall and pay Amtrak employees who were furloughed because of the pandemic and to restore various daily routes. Another $15 billion would also be allocated to support workers in the airline industry.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Rental Assistance\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>There is $25 billion for emergency rental assistance, including $5 billion for emergency housing vouchers for people experiencing homelessness, survivors of domestic violence and victims of human trafficking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story includes reporting from NPR’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/people/728257568/chloee-weiner\">Chloee Weiner\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/people/468259099/barbara-sprunt\">Barbara Sprunt\u003c/a>, and KQED’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/author/jrodriguez\">Joe Fitzgerald Rodriguez\u003c/a>.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

"info": "The MindShift podcast explores the innovations in education that are shaping how kids learn. Hosts Ki Sung and Katrina Schwartz introduce listeners to educators, researchers, parents and students who are developing effective ways to improve how kids learn. We cover topics like how fed-up administrators are developing surprising tactics to deal with classroom disruptions; how listening to podcasts are helping kids develop reading skills; the consequences of overparenting; and why interdisciplinary learning can engage students on all ends of the traditional achievement spectrum. This podcast is part of the MindShift education site, a division of KQED News. KQED is an NPR/PBS member station based in San Francisco.
