Scrapped – but then back: CDC issues new ban

America’s Centre for Disease Control and Prevention has issued another moratorium – extending the nation’s Covid-19 eviction ban just days after the previous one expired

Cheddar’s US Political Director Megan Pratz says the moratorium will last for at least two more months

This latest CDC order will prevent landlords from evicting tenants in counties that are experiencing high Covid case numbers as the Delta variant spreads.

It’s expected that the ban will currently apply to around 90 per cent of America’s renter population.

President Joe Biden told reporters at the White House that the new eviction ban is intended to provide more time for renters and landlords to obtain financial assistance through a federal aid programme administered by states and localities.

The CDC says in a statement “a surge in evictions could lead to the immediate and significant movement of large numbers of persons … at a time when the Delta variant is driving COVID-19 cases at an unprecedented rate”.

The statement continues, adding “evicted renters must move, which leads to multiple outcomes that increase the risk of COVID-19 spread”.

“Today is a day of extraordinary relief,” Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said in a statement. “The imminent fear of eviction and being put out on the street has been lifted for countless families across America.”

The Supreme Court DID NOT rule on or even take up the case on the legality of the CDC eviction moratorium. Every minute wasted means another family could be forced onto the streets. Biden, #ExtendTheMoratorium now!

Senate upholds vote to release Epstein files despite White House delay attempt; Trump signals intent to sign bill.

The White House tried to delay a vote on the release of Justice Department files connected to Jeffrey Epstein, even as former President Trump insisted there was nothing to hide.

Despite this, the Senate approved the measure exactly as it passed the House, ignoring amendments proposed by Trump’s aides. This move clears the path for the files to be made public in full.

Trump has indicated he intends to sign the bill, marking a significant shift after the White House’s attempt to block or delay the vote proved unsuccessful. The decision could have wide-reaching implications for transparency and ongoing investigations.
