Today in one sentence: The House passed the $2.2 trillion coronavirus stimulus package and Trump signed it into law; Trump ordered General Motors to produce 40,000 ventilators under the Defense Production Act hours after criticizing the company on Twitter; Trump notified U.S. governors that his administration will be issuing new guidelines about "maintaining, increasing or relaxing social distancing and other mitigation measures"; and Jared Kushner’s shadow coronavirus task force appears to be violating both the Presidential Records Act and Federal Advisory Committee Act.
