An 11-year-old boy who says he’s been bullied because of his last name — Trump — will be one of President Trump and first lady Melania Trump’s guests at the State of the Union on Tuesday, the White House announced.

Joshua Trump, a sixth-grade student from Wilmington, Del., who is not related to the president, drew headlines last year after his parents went public to share stories of the abuse they said he had suffered because of his last name.

“They curse at him, they call him an idiot, they call him stupid,” his mother, Megan Trump Berto, told ABC affiliate WPVI at the time.

The issue has been ongoing for years, his parents said. They even pulled Joshua out of school for home schooling at one point but decided to enroll him in middle school with the hope that the bullying would decrease. It didn’t.

“He said he hates himself, and he hates his last name, and he feels sad all the time, and he doesn’t want to live feeling like that anymore, and as a parent that’s scary,” Trump Berto said.

The Trumps’ other guests include Grace Eline, a child who was diagnosed with a brain tumor when she was 9; Judah Samet, a survivor of the Holocaust who lived through the shooting at Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh; Ashley Evans, a recovering opioid addict; Elvin Hernandez, a special agent at the Department of Homeland Security who focuses on human trafficking; and Debra Bissell, Heather Armstrong and Madison Armstrong, family members of a Nevada couple who authorities say were killed by an undocumented immigrant.

Melania Trump has made combating bullying one of her main priorities in the White House — the thrust of her “Be Best” initiative. But many have pointed to the disconnect between her work and her husband, who regularly employs sharp rhetoric and frequent verbal and personal attacks.

Trump Berto did not return a message left with her father. At least five students at Joshua’s middle school have been disciplined for bullying-related issues, officials said previously.

The White House said Joshua is a fan of science, art and history and hopes to pursue a career that has something to do with animals.

“His hero and best friend is his Uncle Cody, who serves in the United States Air Force,” the White House said.

Senate breaks from Trump with Syria troop vote – Reuters
Senate breaks from Trump with Syria troop vote – Reuters

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The Republican-led U.S. Senate backed largely symbolic legislation on Monday that broke with President Donald Trump by opposing plans for any abrupt withdrawal of troops from Syria and Afghanistan.

The Senate voted 70-26 in favor of a non-binding amendment, drafted by Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, saying it was the sense of the Senate that Islamist militant groups in both countries still pose a “serious threat” to the United States.

The amendment acknowledged progress against Islamic State and al Qaeda in Syria and Afghanistan but warned that “a precipitous withdrawal” could destabilize the region and create a vacuum that could be filled by Iran or Russia.

It called on the Trump administration to certify conditions had been met for the groups’ “enduring defeat” before any significant withdrawal from Syria or Afghanistan.

Before the vote, McConnell said he introduced the bill so the Senate could “speak clearly and directly about the importance of the” missions in Afghanistan and Syria.

Passage was expected, after the Senate voted to advance it in a procedural vote last week. After concerns from some Democrats, the Senate approved a change to the bill making it clear the amendment was not intended to be a declaration of war or authorization to use military force.

The vote added the amendment to a broader Middle East security bill making its way through Congress. The Senate voted 72-24 to advance the broader bill in a procedural vote on Monday after the amendment vote.

To become law, however, the bill would need to pass the Democratic-controlled House of Representatives, where it is unlikely to move without significant changes because of concerns about a provision addressing the “Boycott, Divest and Sanction” movement concerned with Israel’s treatment of the Palestinians.

The votes marked the second time in two months that the Senate supported a measure contradicting Trump’s foreign policy, although legislation to change his policies has yet to become law.

Several of Trump’s fellow Republicans strongly disagreed with his plans to withdraw 2,000 U.S. troops from Syria on the grounds that militants no longer pose a threat.

Senator Jim Risch, the Republican chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, disputed before Monday’s vote that the amendment rebuked or insulted Trump. “As I read it, it recognizes … his effort for us to examine exactly what we are doing in these places,” Risch said.

Again, let’s make a deal on the border, not spark another shutdown – Washington Examiner
Again, let’s make a deal on the border, not spark another shutdown – Washington Examiner

She said it ever so subtly, but House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., made clear this past week she is ready to compromise on border funding.

She will not do it, though — she cannot do it — unless she is given a way to save face.

“There’s not going to be any wall money in the legislation,” she said. “However, if they have some suggestions about certain localities, technology, some infrastructure … that’s part of the negotiation.”

Pelosi did not directly propose a “fence” instead of a “wall,” but she implied nearly as much. “There’s 600 miles of something,” she said. “Three hundred miles of them are Normandy fences. If the president wants to call that a wall, he can call it a wall. … So, again, if there’s a place where enhanced fencing, Normandy fencing, would work? Let them have that discussion.”

Pelosi went from there to discuss the cost-benefit analysis of border barriers, implying that a fence would be cheaper and more efficient than a wall.

She may be right, and on some parts of the border, very right. Meanwhile, President Trump is right that a country has a right to control its borders, which in many cases will involve a wall or physical barrier.

Democrats are under a lot of political pressure to prevent Trump from coming out of this debate with anything resembling a win. They were, after all, elected to oppose him. And many Democrats (not all, but including Pelosi) have gone so far as to make the idiotic argument that a border wall is immoral. That’s rather a stretch, considering the hundreds of miles that already exist, which Democrats voted for not long ago, but that’s where we are today.

The last thing the nation needs is another major government shutdown. In order to prevent it, both Pelosi and Trump need to negotiate within the realm of reason. They need to work for a deal instead of repeating what they did in round one — working to avoid a deal so as to break their respective counterpart.

Trump needs to negotiate for something that lets Pelosi walk away able to say she succeeded — “ no new wall” — while still allowing the construction of barriers at the border, whatever we want to call them. A particular need, based on the Border Patrol’s account, is to fill in between the existing segments of wall — er, fence — that are already scattered throughout South Texas along the Rio Grande.

If either side insists on total victory — on pulverizing and humiliating the other side — then we’re heading for another shutdown, and this time, the party that brings it on should expect to blamed.

Washington (CNN)The US and South Korea have reached a preliminary agreement on the cost of keeping nearly 30,000 troops in South Korea, two State Department officials said, alleviating fears among President Donald Trump’s advisers that he could move to withdraw US troops during his upcoming summit with North Korea’s leader.

    More trouble in Virginia: Ralph Northam’s possible successor denies sexual assault allegations – Washington Examiner
    More trouble in Virginia: Ralph Northam’s possible successor denies sexual assault allegations – Washington Examiner

    Virginia’s Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax on Monday denied a new sexual assault allegation against him, just as many were preparing for him to take over for embattled Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam.

    “Lt. Governor Fairfax has an outstanding and well-earned reputation for treating people with dignity and respect,” Fairfax’s chief of staff and communications director said in a statement Monday that was released at 2:57 a.m. “He has never assaulted anyone — ever — in any way, shape, or form.”

    Fairfax will become Virginia governor if embattled Ralph Northam resigns after it was revealed that his 1984 medical school yearbook page contained a photo of a man in blackface standing beside a man in a KKK outfit

    The statement appeared to be referencing a claim from a woman, Vanessa Tyson, who said she was sexually assaulted by Fairfax at the DNC convention more than a decade ago.

    “Imagine you were sexually assaulted during the DNC Convention in Boston in 2004 by a campaign staffer. You spend the next 13 years trying to forget it ever happened” Tyson wrote. “Then by strange, horrible luck, it seems increasingly likely that he’ll get a VERY BIG promotion.”

    Tyson is a professor at Scripps College in California.

    “This is part of the sad and dark politics that the Lt. Governor has dedicated himself to helping Virginia and the nation rise above,” the statement from Fairfax’s office said.

    Gov. Ralph Northam is under pressure to resign after his medical school yearbook surfaced last week, and showed an image of someone in blackface and another in Ku Klux Klan garb on his page. Northam’s resignation would likely let Fairfax step in as governor.

    Northam held an emergency meeting with his staff Sunday evening during the Super Bowl and is expected to have another meeting later Monday to discuss whether to bow to the widespread calls for him to step down.

    Trump Inaugural Committee Ordered to Hand Over Documents to Federal Investigators – The New York Times
    Trump Inaugural Committee Ordered to Hand Over Documents to Federal Investigators – The New York Times

    The subpoena marked an escalation of the investigation, which the prosecutors opened late last year amid a flurry of scrutiny of the inaugural committee. The United States attorney’s office in Brooklyn is separately investigating whether foreigners illegally funneled donations to Mr. Trump’s inaugural committee using so-called straw donors to disguise their donations. Federal law prohibits foreign contributions to inaugural committees.

    As part of their inquiry, prosecutors in Manhattan have pursued the possibility that the inaugural committee made false statements to the Federal Election Commission, according to people familiar with the matter. It can be a crime to knowingly make false or fraudulent statements to a federal agency.

    The inaugural committee disclosed a list of its donors to the F.E.C., and the prosecutors are examining whether that list is complete and accurate, the person said. If a donor was omitted from the report, prosecutors could take an interest in that as well.

    The inaugural committee was chaired by Thomas J. Barrack, a close friend of the president. No one who worked for the committee, or donated to it, has been accused of wrongdoing, and a subpoena is an initial step in the inquiry.

    The investigation into the inaugural committee grew out of the investigation into Michael D. Cohen, Mr. Trump’s former personal lawyer and fixer. Mr. Cohen is due to begin a prison sentence next month after pleading guilty last year to a range of crimes, including one campaign finance-related charge, in which he implicated the president.

    The Washington Post went all-in on Brett Kavanaugh but spiked a similar story about a Democrat – Washington Examiner
    The Washington Post went all-in on Brett Kavanaugh but spiked a similar story about a Democrat – Washington Examiner

    If the Washington Post didn’t have double standards, it would have no standards at all.

    Virginia Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax’s office issued a statement Monday rejecting claims by a woman who alleges he sexually assaulted her in 2004, when they both attended the Democratic National Convention.

    Almost as notable as Fairfax’s denial is the fact that the Washington Post was first approached by the alleged victim more than a year ago and decided not to publish her story. The Post explained Monday that it declined to report the woman’s allegations due to an absence of corroborating evidence.

    It’s good to see that the newspaper has found a renewed interest in the standard of proof it abandoned entirely when it broke the story of similar allegations of sexual misconduct leveled last year against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh. Recall that it was the Post that first got Christine Blasey Ford to go on the record with her allegations.

    The accusation against Virginia’s lieutenant governor was published first by the right-wing news site Big League Politics, which last week unearthed a 35-year-old photo reportedly showing Virginia’s Democratic Gov. Ralph Northam dressed in either blackface or KKK robes at a party ( more here on that). Fairfax stands to take over the governorship, should Northam’s blackface scandal force the current governor out of office.

    “Lt. Governor Fairfax … has never assaulted anyone — ever — in any way, shape or form,” reads a statement from Fairfax’s office. “The person reported to be making this false allegation first approached the Washington Post … more than a year ago, around the time of the Lieutenant Governor’s historic inauguration.

    “The Post carefully investigated the claim for several months,” the Fairfax statement said. “After being presented with facts consistent with the Lt. Governor’s denial of the allegation, the absence of any evidence corroborating the allegation, and significant red flags and inconsistencies within the allegation, the Post made the considered decision not to publish the story. Tellingly, not one other reputable media outlet has seen fit to air this false claim.”

    The Post published a slightly different, but mostly similar, version of events Monday: “The Washington Post, in phone calls to people who knew Fairfax from college, law school and through political circles, found no similar complaints of sexual misconduct against him,” the paper reported. “Without that, or the ability to corroborate the woman’s account — in part because she had not told anyone what happened — The Washington Post did not run a story.”

    The article added, “She said she never told anyone about what happened at the time or in the years that followed until shortly before she approached The Post.” Notably absent from the paper’s explanation is any indication that it had indeed found “significant red flags and inconsistencies within the allegations” in the accuser’s story, as Fairfax’s office claims. But let’s put that aside for a moment and focus on the fact that the Post claims it didn’t publish the alleged victim’s story due to a lack of evidence.

    What’s the paper’s excuse for running multiple stories repeating totally uncorroborated allegations of sexual abuse aimed at Kavanaugh? When the Post got Ford on the record amid the fight over Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court nomination, the paper didn’t seem to be so concerned by the fact that she couldn’t provide a single piece of evidence to verify her claim that the judge tried to rape her when they were both in high school — or even that they’d ever met.

    Note that, absent the leaks, her allegation could have been properly investigated by senators from both parties on the Senate Judiciary Committee without the resulting damage to privacy and reputation. But the Post, less worried in that case about the lack of evidence behind the allegation, plowed ahead.

    In fact, as the Hamilton Lincoln Law Institute’s Ted Frank noted Monday, there are fewer red flags in the Fairfax accuser’s story then there were in Ford’s. Unlike Ford, Fairfax’s accuser identifies the exact year and location of the alleged assault. Unlike Ford, Fairfax’s accuser belongs to the same political tribe, and therefore speaks against interest in at least one sense.

    There are other things that bother me about the Post’s uneven treatment of the Fairfax and Kavanaugh accusers. For example, the paper’s first original coverage of the allegation against the lieutenant governor came only after Fairfax had issued a statement defending himself. Kavanaugh was afforded no similar benefit.

    It’s fine if the Post passed on the Fairfax story because of a genuine lack of evidence. And there definitely doesn’t appear to be that much to go on, other than the word of a single accuser. But it’s hard to see the Post’s decision to spike her story as anything but politically biased considering how the paper gorged itself on nearly every flimsy and fantastic allegation hurled in Kavanaugh’s direction, no matter how ridiculous, again with no evidence to back any of it up.

    It’s funny how editorial standards change, depending on the target’s party affiliation.

    White House announces Trump guests for State of the Union | TheHill – The Hill
    White House announces Trump guests for State of the Union | TheHill – The Hill

    The White House on Monday announced the guests who will join President TrumpDonald John TrumpCivil rights figures kick off Super Bowl with coin toss Congress can avoid trumped up national emergency declaration Howard Dean calls for Northam to resign, rips GOP over ‘double standard’ MORE and First Lady Melania TrumpMelania TrumpThe Hill’s 12:30 Report: Booker jumps into 2020 race | Trump to suspend nuke treaty with Russia | Economy adds 304K jobs in January The Hill’s Morning Report — Trump complicates border wall negotiations Dems warn against deporting former Trump golf course workers MORE at the U.S. Capitol for the State of the Union address. 

    The crop of individuals who will visit Capitol Hill on Tuesday night include family members of a couple killed by an immigrant illegally in the country, a young boy who says he faced bullying due to his sharing the last name “Trump,” a survivor of the Pittsburgh synagogue shooting and Alice Johnson, the woman Trump granted clemency last year.

    “This year’s guests come from all different walks of life, and each has an incredible story to tell. No matter their background, each one has something important in common: They represent the very best of America,” the White House said in a statement. 

    More than 10 people will sit with the first lady while Trump delivers his annual State of The Union address. 

    Timothy Matson, a member of the Pittsburgh Police Department who suffered multiple gun shot wounds when a shooter opened fire at the Tree of Life Synagogue in October of last year, will be in attendance. So will Judah Samet, a Holocaust survivor and a survivor of the Tree of Life shooting.

    Joshua Trump, an 11-year-old from Delaware whose parents said he faced bullying in school because of his last name, will also be in attendance. 

    The White House statement says Joshua Trump was “thankful to the First Lady and the Trump family for their support.”

    The daughter, granddaughter and great-granddaughter of Gerald and Sharon David will also serve as special White House guests. The two were murdered in their home in Nevada earlier this year, allegedly by an undocumented immigrant. 

    Alice Johnson will also be there. Johnson was serving a life sentence for nonviolent drug and money laundering charges until Trump granted her clemency last year after meeting with Kim Kardashian about her case.

    Other special guests include the first prisoner released as a result of the First Step Act and a woman recovering from an opioid addiction. 

    Trump’s State of the Union address will come after it was delayed multiple weeks due to a 35-day partial government shutdown. Trump signed a continuing resolution last month to temporarily reopen the government, but has continued to demand that funds for a border wall be included in a long-term spending bill. 

    Democrats have repeatedly opposed the demand.

    Path to Trump’s Border Wall Narrows as Republicans Balk at Emergency Declaration – The New York Times
    Path to Trump’s Border Wall Narrows as Republicans Balk at Emergency Declaration – The New York Times

    Any senator from either party could then demand a vote, because the resolution would be deemed “privileged.” Mr. McConnell told Mr. Trump that he would have no choice but to schedule a floor vote on the measure within 15 days, and Republican aides have estimated that between three and 10 Republicans would side with the chamber’s Democrats against Mr. Trump.

    That would force the president into a politically costly effort to keep the Senate from overriding his veto of the resolution, even as Democrats moved to block him in the courts.

    “He’s been talking about all this for a month, in front of the cameras,” said Don Stewart, a spokesman for Mr. McConnell, who played down the exchange.

    The leader delivered a similar message to Vice President Mike Pence and the president’s son-in-law and senior adviser, Jared Kushner, three weeks ago during negotiations to reopen the government. Since then, both men have counseled the president to move cautiously on the emergency declaration, according to a senior administration official.

    Democrats have begun drafting legislation that would remove the president’s ability to shift money from one project to another. Representative John Garamendi, Democrat of California, would repeal a line in the 1986 Water Resources Development Act that grants the president authority to use civil works money to respond to a national emergency.

    Administration officials struck a defiant note on Monday, saying the president needed the threat of a declaration to pressure Ms. Pelosi.

    “The Congress has failed to do its job — this Congress, last Congress and for quite a while to make sure that we have what we need at the southern border, which of course the centerpiece is a physical barrier, wall, steel slats,” Kellyanne Conway, the counselor to the president, told reporters.

    (CNN)President Donald Trump’s suggestion that the US would use a base in Iraq as a means to “watch” Iran evoked the scorn of Iraqi lawmakers on Monday and seemed to cause confusion among Pentagon officials and analysts, while the State Department told CNN that the US mission in Iraq remains unchanged.

      Ralph Northam yearbook photo: the controversy and his refusal to resign, explained – Vox.com
      Ralph Northam yearbook photo: the controversy and his refusal to resign, explained – Vox.com

      Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam has been caught in a firestorm after a photo surfaced of his 1984 medical school yearbook page showing a man in blackface and another in a Ku Klux Klan outfit. A number of Democrats have called on Northam to resign, but thus far, he says he’s sticking around.

      Northam, a Democrat who was elected as Virginia’s governor in 2017, has offered a befuddling response since the photo from his 1984 medical school yearbook became public on Friday. He initially confirmed he was one of the two people in the picture and apologized, only to then walk that back on Saturday, saying he was still sorry but denying he was one of the men in the picture. He did, however, say he had at another point in time worn blackface — to dress up as Michael Jackson. During a press conference on Saturday, he seemed open to a reporter’s suggestion that he try to moonwalk before his wife stopped him.

      The pressure is mounting for Northam to resign and let Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax take over. Dozens of Democrats — including 2020 presidential contenders, Virginia lawmakers, and the Democratic National Committee — and outside groups have called on Northam to step down.

      Thus far, he appears determined to hold on to his post, even though very few people are standing by him. Kirk Cox, the Republican speaker of the Virginia House of Delegates, has said he thinks Northam should step down but is hesitant about seeking to remove him.

      The ordeal has a lot of layers to it — political, historical, and, obviously, racial. Wearing blackface is deeply offensive, whatever the context. Northam has shown contrition, but he doesn’t have to remain in public office. He could step down and let Fairfax, a descendant of slaves, take over. Democrats have largely taken the side of asking Northam to resign, but thus far, he’s not going for it.

      This started with a yearbook picture — and an abortion bill

      Prior to the yearbook photo’s publication, Northam had already been in the news last week over confusing remarks he made about a Virginia abortion bill, House Bill 2491, that would roll back some of the state’s requirements on abortion, including a 24-hour waiting period and a requirement that second-trimester abortions take place in a hospital.

      As Vox’s Anna North explained, the bill was always a long shot legislatively, especially because of a controversy over a provision that would reduce the number of doctors required to sign off on a third-trimester abortion from three to one. In a Wednesday radio interview, Northam discussed the matter, and that’s where things went awry, per North:

      Appearing to discuss what would happen if a child was born after a failed attempt at abortion, he said, “the infant would be resuscitated if that’s what the mother and the family desired, and then a discussion would ensue between the physicians and the mother.”

      Some took Northam’s comments as an endorsement of infanticide. “In just a few years pro-abortion zealots went from ‘safe, legal, and rare’ to ‘keep the newborns comfortable while the doctor debates infanticide,” said Sen. Ben Sasse (R-NE) in a statement on Wednesday.

      A spokesperson for Gov. Northam told Vox his comments were “absolutely not” a reference to infanticide, and that they “focused on the tragic and extremely rare case in which a woman with a nonviable pregnancy or severe fetal abnormalities went into labor.”

      The remarks stirred a national debate about abortion amid several recent state efforts to expand abortion access.

      Subsequently, the photo of Northam’s page in the 1984 Eastern Virginia Medical School yearbook with a picture of a man in blackface and another in a KKK costume began to bubble up in conservative media outlets. And on Friday, the Virginian-Pilot published the photo and story accompanying it. Other media outlets confirmed it as well.

      Northam said it was him and then said it wasn’t

      When the Virginian-Pilot reported on the photo on Friday, the outlet noted that it wasn’t clear whether Northam was actually in it. Northam apparently wasn’t clear on it either.

      In a statement on Friday evening, Northam apologized for the picture and said he was, indeed, one of the people shown, though he didn’t say which one.

      “I am deeply sorry for the decision I made to appear as I did in this photo and for the hurt that decision caused then and now,” he said. “This behavior is not in keeping with who I am today and the values I have fought for throughout my career in the military, in medicine, and in public service. But I want to be clear, I understand how this decision shakes Virginians’ faith in that commitment.”

      He also released a video response on Twitter accepting his actions but refusing to resign.

      On Saturday morning, there were varying reports about what Northam would do — some suggested he was going to step aside; others said he wouldn’t. He reportedly called members of the state party to tell them he didn’t think it was him in the picture after all. And at a press conference on Saturday, he said the same publicly.

      “I recognize that many people will find this difficult to believe,” Northam said. “The photo appears with others I submitted on a page with my name on it. … In the hours since I made my statement yesterday, I reflected with my family and classmates from the time and affirmed my conclusion that I am not the person in that photo.”

      He said there is “no way that I have ever been in a KKK uniform” but that he does have a recollection of wearing blackface as part of a Michael Jackson costume at a San Antonio dance contest. He explained he used “just a little bit of shoe polish” to dress up and won the contest because he had learned how to moonwalk. A reporter asked Northam if he could still moonwalk, and he seemed to contemplate responding before he said his wife told him “inappropriate circumstances.”

      A lot of people want Northam to step aside

      Many Democrats were quick to call for Northam to step down as soon as the picture surfaced, but some initially stood by him. But as time went on — and especially after Saturday’s press conference — Northam found himself increasingly alone.

      At Vox, Amanda Sakuma listed out the dozens of Democrats, groups, and public figures condemning Northam’s actions and calling on him to resign. The group includes Sens. Tim Kaine and Mark Warner, multiple Virginia members of Congress, multiple potential and declared 2020 presidential candidates, the NAACP, Planned Parenthood, and the Virginia Democratic Party.

      Many Republicans have called for Northam to step aside as well.

      Fairfax, who would become acting governor if Northam resigned, said in a statement that he was “shocked and saddened” by the yearbook picture and said he “cannot condone the actions from his past that, at the very least, suggest a comfort with Virginia’s darker history of white supremacy, racial stereotyping, and intimidation.” He did not say he thinks Northam should resign.

      There’s more to this than the basic facts

      The basic ins and outs of the controversy surrounding Northam are significant enough, but there’s also a lot of context here.

      For one thing, blackface is a no-go no matter the circumstances, including for a Michael Jackson contest, and in the 1980s. Harmeet Kaur at CNN delved into the racist roots of blackface:

      The origins of blackface date back to the minstrel shows of mid-19th century. White performers darkened their skin with polish and cork, put on tattered clothing and exaggerated their features to look stereotypically “black.” The first minstrel shows mimicked enslaved Africans on Southern plantations, depicting black people as lazy, ignorant, cowardly or hypersexual, according to the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC).

      The performances were intended to be funny to white audiences. But to the black community, they were demeaning and hurtful.

      But in more recent history, the photo is notable when juxtaposed with Northam’s 2017 gubernatorial campaign. His Republican opponent, Ed Gillespie, ran a campaign that included fearmongering about immigrants and defending Confederate statues. Democrats decried his bid as “the most racist campaign in Virginia history.”

      As Vox’s Jane Coaston lays out, some in the GOP have seized on the Northam picture as proof that Democrats can be just as racist as Republicans. They say that Democratic accusations of racism among Republicans are just politics. Of course, just because Northam may or may not have appeared in a racist photo does not mean Gillespie’s actions were not also racist.

      There have also been a lot of questions about why the Northam picture appeared now and not during the 2017 election or at some other point before this. It appears timed to the abortion debate in Virginia right now.

      Despite the pressure, Northam seems to be digging in. It’s not clear how much longer he’ll hold on. Northam on Monday morning reportedly told staff he needs more time to decide.

      Trump expected to call on politicians to come together to end border stalemate during State of the Union

      Ahead of his address to Congress, the president calls House Speaker Pelosi ‘bad for our country’ for refusing funding for a border wall; Rich Edson reports from the White House.

      Congressional Democrats are using their guest lists for the State of the Union address on Tuesday to score political points against President Trump on immigration, the government shutdown and more.

      While Trump has said he plans to deliver a message of unity on Tuesday night and find common ground with Democratic lawmakers, many on the other side of the aisle aren’t buying his plea for bipartisanship. With Democrats fuming over Trump’s push for a border wall amid a still-unresolved funding standoff, those guest lists signal the president could face a tough crowd.

      WHEN IS THE 2019 STATE OF THE UNION ADDRESS? EVERYTHING TO KNOW ABOUT TRUMP’S SECOND SPEECH TO CONGRESS

      In the latest example, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., said on Monday she’ll bring an activist who made headlines protesting against now-Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination to the Supreme Court.

      Archila famously cornered then-Sen. Jeff Flake in a Senate elevator and pleaded for the Republican lawmaker to reconsider voting for Kavanaugh, who was accused by Christine Blasey Ford of sexual assault. Flake agreed to delay a committee vote to allow for a brief investigation, before ultimately supporting Kavanaugh — who denied the accusations.

      Archila said she is “honored” to be the guest of the freshman Democrat and will sit in the gallery overlooking the chamber during Trump’s address. She said she will wear white and a pin the congresswoman gave her that says, “Well behaved women rarely make history.”

      While Ocasio-Cortez has chosen to highlight the controversy surrounding Kavanaugh with her guest, other Democrats have invited guests directly affected by the ongoing immigration debate and the recent partial government shutdown.

      Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman, D- N.J., invited Victorina Morales, a Guatemalan woman living in the U.S. illegally who reportedly was fired from the Trump National Golf Club.

      Morales has spoken out about the Trump Organization’s hiring practices. The Trump Organization said last week that it will use the E-Verify electronic system at all its properties to check employees’ documentation.

      Sandra Diaz, a native of Costa Rica who worked at Trump’s club from 2010 to 2013, also will be attending the State of the Union as a guest of Democratic Rep. Jimmy Gomez of California.

      Diaz was also hired without legal papers. She is now a legal permanent U.S. resident and said she decided to speak out because she is angry about the president describing some immigrants as violent.

      KAMALA HARRIS’ STATE OF THE UNION GUEST WILL BE FEDERAL EMPLOYEE AFFECTED BY SHUTDOWN

      Sen. Jeff Merkley, D-Ore., invited a mother and daughter from Guatemala who were denied asylum in the U.S. and eventually were separated for two months last spring after they were caught illegally crossing the southern border.

      “This child separation policy came from a dark and evil place within the heart of this administration,” Merkley said, according to local Oregon media. “Innocent children suffered because of deeds that were carried out in our names and using our tax dollars as Americans. I’m bringing Albertina and Yakelin as my guests to the State of the Union because we need to bear witness to the suffering that this cruel policy inflicted, and resolve to make sure that nothing like this ever happens in the United States of America again.”

      Video

      Other Democratic lawmakers have invited guests who were directly affected by the government shutdown.

      Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., who is running for president in 2020, invited Trisha Pesiri-Dybvik, an air traffic controller who lost her home in the 2017 Thomas fire in Southern California and was one of the 800,000 federal workers who missed paychecks during the shutdown.

      “Trisha Pesiri-Dybvik was one of the more than 800,000 federal workers whose paychecks were withheld during the shutdown — and it happened while her family was still recovering from losing their home in the Thomas Fire,” Harris wrote on Twitter. “I’m honored she will join me at the State of the Union.”

      Harris’ colleague in the Senate, Democrat Chris Murphy of Connecticut, has invited Regina Moller, the executive director of Noank Community Support Services. The nonprofit organization, which was affected by the government shutdown, offers shelters to unaccompanied minors separated from their families at the U.S. southern border with Mexico.

      Democrats have also invited guests affected by gun violence, high drug and insurance costs and the Trump administration’s changes to rules on transgender people in the military.

      Democrats, however, do not have a monopoly on using the State of the Union guest list to make a political point.

      Republicans are bringing guests ranging from survivors of sexual slavery in the Middle East to survivors of the opioid epidemic and Border Patrol agents.

      Rep. Bill Johnson, R-Ohio, invited a police officer who accidentally overdosed on the synthetic opioid Fentanyl after the powder ended up on his shirt following a drug arrest, while Rep. Jeff Fortenberry, R-Neb., is bringing Nobel Peace Prize winner Nadia Murad, a Yazidi human rights activist and sexual slavery survivor under ISIS.

      Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, invited the sector chief for the Border Patrol’s Rio Grande Valley Manny Padilla to be his guest.

      Rep. Doug Collins, R-Ga., also invited Art Gallegos, the co-founder of the Latinos Conservative Organization, to the State of the Union in an effort to emphasize the need for border security.

      Rising Temperatures Could Melt Most Himalayan Glaciers by 2100 – The New York Times
      Rising Temperatures Could Melt Most Himalayan Glaciers by 2100 – The New York Times

      The Hindu Kush Himalaya Assessment touches on the phenomenon of elevation-dependent warming. Though it is well known that temperature changes due to increased levels of greenhouse gases are amplified at higher latitudes, like in the Arctic, there is growing evidence that warming rates are also greater at higher elevations.

      “Mountain people are really getting hit hard,” said David Molden, the director general of the International Center for Integrated Mountain Development, the research center near Kathmandu, Nepal’s capital, that led the study. “We have to do something now.”

      Around South Asia, the impact of climate change has already intensified. Brutal heat waves are becoming unbearable, making people sicker and poorer, and diminishing the living standards of 800 million people.

      Access to water is also a concern. Last spring, shortages were so severe in the Indian city of Shimla, in the Himalayas, that some residents asked tourists to stop visiting so that they would have enough water for themselves.

      A government report released last year found that India was experiencing the worst water crisis in its history. About half of India’s population, around 600 million people, faced extreme water scarcities, the report found, with 200,000 people dying each year from inadequate access to safe water.

      By 2030, the country’s demand for water is likely to be twice the available supply.

      In neighboring Nepal, rising temperatures have already uprooted people. Snow cover is shrinking in mountain villages, and rain patterns are less predictable. Fertile land once used for growing vegetables has become barren.

      “Water sources have dried up,” said Pasang Tshering Gurung, a farmer from the village of Samjong, which is about 13,000 feet above sea level.

      Leak of Trump’s schedules a ‘disgraceful breach of trust’: White House – ABC News
      Leak of Trump’s schedules a ‘disgraceful breach of trust’: White House – ABC News

      A new leak of three months worth of President Donald Trump‘s daily schedules has provoked anger among top White House aides and allies of the president, echoing the early days of Trump’s presidency during which leaks seemed to plague the administration on a near-daily basis.

      Axios reported Sunday on the series of schedules provided by “a White House source,” which revealed according to their analysis that the president spends “around 60% of his scheduled time over the past 3 months in unstructured “Executive Time.””

      The internal schedules offered significantly more insight into the president’s daily activities compared to the ‘Daily Press Guidance’ provided to the public.

      The White House did not dispute the authenticity of the schedules and instead set their sights on publicly trashing the official responsible for the leak.

      “What a disgraceful breach of trust to leak schedules,” Director of Oval Office Operations Madeleine Westerhout wrote on Twitter Sunday. “What these don’t show are the hundreds of calls and meetings [President Trump] takes everyday. This [president] is working harder for the American people than anyone in recent history.”

      In a statement to Axios, White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said the schedules showed that “President Trump has a different leadership style than his predecessors and the results speak for themselves.”

      Sanders declined to comment further on the story and whether the White House planned to mount an internal investigation similar to previous major leaks.

      Several conservatives and allies of the president expressed similar concern over the leak and also defended the president from accusations that the unstructured time in his schedule proves he’s not productive.

      The ‘Executive Time’ moniker grew to prominence over a year ago following a similar leak of internal schedules, which showed the blocks of time spent by the president away from the Oval Office often lined up with his habit of tuning in to cable news and tweeting out observations or grievances.

      “Disgusting that someone would leak this,” tweeted Marc Thiessen, an AEI fellow and former speechwriter for President George W. Bush. “An appalling breach of trust.”

      “The distortions of the hate Trump movement are never more obvious than in the reaction to the President’s leaked schedule,” Trump ally Newt Gingrich said.

      Conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt went as far to suggest that the leak could be dangerous to national security.

      The controversy mirrored previous major leaks that roiled the White House, including the publishing of the president’s call transcripts with the leaders of Mexico and Australia in 2017 and details of the president’s private conversation with the Russian foreign minister and ambassador in the Oval Office following FBI Director James Comey’s firing.

      Such episodes have fueled the belief among the president and many supporters of the existence of a wider ‘deep state’ embedded in his presidency aiming to undermine or embarrass him in order to thwart his agenda.

      The White House in the past has repeatedly said it was working to root out such officials through internal investigations, including the author of an anonymous op-ed posted in the New York Times by an official who identified themselves as a member of the “Resistance inside the Trump Administration.”

      Updated at 9:45 a.m. ET

      At least five people were killed Sunday when a plane apparently broke apart in the air and plummeted into a neighborhood in Yorba Linda, Calif. The pilot died, along with four people in a house hit by wreckage. Officials aren’t sure what caused the crash.

      Two of the victims owned the two-story stucco house that was hit and was engulfed in a raging fire, said Lt. Cory Martino of the Orange County Sheriff’s Department.

      Several witnesses described a dramatic scene in which the aircraft, a 1981 twin-engine Cessna 414, burst into flames and began breaking apart even before it hit the house. Security surveillance footage seemed to confirm that version of events, showing the out-of-control plane trailing black smoke as it fell to the ground.

      “The plane blew up about 100 feet off of the ground. The plane blew up in the sky,” neighbor Jared Bocachica told local TV station KTLA news. “I come out … it’s raining plane parts from the sky.”

      The plane had taken off from nearby Fullerton Municipal Airport early Sunday afternoon, said aviation investigator Eliott Simpson of the National Transportation Safety Board. Citing radar data, he said the Cessna had climbed to about 7,800 feet — but after flying around 10 miles, it made a rapid descent.

      “The airplane appeared to break up in the latter stages of the flight,” Simpson said at a news conference Sunday night.

      Wreckage has been found over a span of some four blocks. A wing was in part of one street; an engine fell onto another, punching a gaping hole in the asphalt. The main cabin and an engine landed in a backyard, a few feet away from a gazebo.

      The identities of those killed have not been released; police say the pilot, who was flying alone, was a man, and that there were two men and two women in the house.

      The crash prompted dozens of residents to rush out of their houses to assess damage and try to help. Some used fire extinguishers and hoses to put out smoldering flames. Around the corner from the burning house, another home had a broken window and a shattered porch pillar. Part of the plane’s propeller lay in the driveway.

      It will take at least 24 hours to collect all the wreckage that was strewn around the neighborhood, Simpson said. The NTSB and other agencies are investigating what may have caused the deadly crash, with the help of Cessna and the company that built the plane’s engines, Simpson said.

      (CNN)During a free-wheeling press conference to address a racist photo on his medical school yearbook page, Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam said he wouldn’t be surprised if other photos like that were found in the 1984 Eastern Virginia Medical School yearbook.

          CNN’s Ryan Nobles contributed to this report.

        Virginia Capitol Thrown Into Chaos as Pressure on Northam Intensifies – The New York Times
        Virginia Capitol Thrown Into Chaos as Pressure on Northam Intensifies – The New York Times

        By Monday morning, Mr. Northam had spent more than 60 hours in deepening political isolation, abandoned by Democrats who quickly came to see his diminished standing as a burden on two fronts: their policy agenda, including matters like teacher pay and tax policy, and their efforts to capture control of the House of Delegates and the Senate this year. Both chambers are within reach for the party, which has made gains throughout the state in recent years.

        “It has created a dark cloud,” said Mark L. Keam, a legislator from Northern Virginia who was among the Democrats afraid of a loss of leverage as long as Mr. Northam remained the titular head of the party in Virginia.

        “Right now,” he added on Sunday, “the issue that we must resolve is how the governor presides over the current legislature.”

        This week is among the most crucial for the General Assembly, which faces an all-important deadline for bills to advance.

        Mr. Northam, who attended his longtime church on Virginia’s Eastern Shore on Sunday morning, has commented publicly just three times since the photograph emerged online on Friday. He first issued a statement on Friday, when he said he was “deeply sorry for the decision I made to appear as I did in this photo and for the hurt that decision caused then and now” and indicated that he would seek to serve out his term, set to expire in 2022. A video message released a short time later reiterated the governor’s position.

        But on Saturday, Mr. Northam stunned Richmond when he reversed course and said he had concluded that he was not, in fact, in the photograph on his yearbook page. “It was definitely not me,” Mr. Northam said at a news conference. “I can tell by looking at it.”

        Do the Covington Catholic High School students have a case to sue for libel?

        Employment attorney Silvia Stanciu and National Center for Life and Liberty general counsel David Gibbs debate whether or not the Covington Catholic students have a case to sue for libel.

        More than 50 media organizations, celebrities and politicians were sent letters from lawyers representing the Covington Catholic High School student seen in a controversial viral video — the first step in a possible libel and defamation lawsuit — and the teen’s legal team also released a 15-minute video that they say shows “the truth” about his interactions at last month’s March For Life.

        Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., actors Alyssa Milano and Jim Carey, media organizations CNN, the New York Times and the Washington Post and the Diocese of Covington were among the dozens recently sent preservation letters, the text of which advised the parties not to destroy any documents in connection with the case. The Cincinnati Inquirer first reported on Friday the initial list of organizations, and attorney Todd McMurtry confirmed to Fox News on Monday that more organizations or individuals could also receive letters.

        “It’s an enormous pool of possible defendants,” he said, adding only one party had responded to the letter, though he did not say which.

        McMurtry, of the Hemmer DeFrank Wessels law firm in Ft. Mitchell, Kentucky, is part of the legal team representing Nick Sandmann, the Kentucky teenager vilified online after a viral video widely misrepresented him allegedly harassing a Native American man following a pro-life demonstration on Jan. 18 at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C.

        The incident sparked massive and widespread criticisms of Sandmann, who was seen in a brief snippet of the encounter smiling while standing in front of activist Nathan Phillips, and Sandmann’s classmates.

        Subsequent videos revealed the students – some, including Sandmann, wearing red “Make America Great Again” hats – were actually accosted and yelled at before Phillips and other Native American activists approached them. Another group – the so-called Black Hebrew Israelites – were heard and seen shouting at the students.

        Both school officials and the Native Americans involved have said they’ve received death threats since the encounter.

        McMurtry told the Inquirer the aftermath of the incident “permanently stained [Nick’s reputation]” and that the organizations and individuals addressed in the letters may have defamed or libeled Nick with false reporting.

        He told Fox News that not everyone who received the letter could be called to defend themselves in a court, but that they have basis to believe that they could be sued. He added the documents that should be preserved for any future litigation include any drafts of stories, emails between colleagues discussing the incident, and, for celebrities and individuals, any tweets or statements sent to the public.

        A spokeswoman for the Covington Diocese declined to comment. Emails to other organizations and individuals were not immediately returned.

        In addition to the letters, Sandmann’s legal team – which includes L. Lin Wood, a nationally-recognized attorney in the fields of libel, defamation and the First Amendment – also released a 15-minute video they say show “the truth” of what happened at the March for Life event.

        “2 weeks ago, the mainstream media, politicians, church officials, commentators & celebrities rushed to judgment to wrongfully condemn, threaten, disparage & vilify Nick Sandmann based solely on a few seconds of an out-of-context video clip. It only takes 15 minutes to learn the truth,” the video description, posted on YouTube, stated.

        On Twitter, Wood added: “Some say a 15-minute video is too long to go viral. Will we allow incomplete 30-second video clips to be basis for agenda-driven false accusations & threats against a 16-year old student? Please share the full truth about what was done to Nick Sandmann.”

        Wood did not immediately respond to Fox News’ request for comment Monday.

        “For the mob to just go tear apart a 16-year-old boy is inexcusable,” McMurtry told the Inquirer. “He’ll never be able to get away from this.”

        Trump is teasing bombshells for his State of the Union address. They could include a national emergency over the wall and a new summit with Kim Jong Un. – INSIDER

        • President Donald Trump is teasing show-stopping announcements he may include in his State of the Union address on Tuesday.
        • Ideas he has publicly toyed with include the declaration of a national emergency to secure border-wall funding and the confirmation of a second meeting with North Korea’s Kim Jong Un.
        • Trump’s goal with an emergency declaration would be to spend money on a border wall without approval from Congress, though a new poll indicates it would be an unpopular move.
        • In an interview that aired Sunday, Trump also said that his next meeting with Kim “is set” and that he would most likely reveal details like the date and venue on Tuesday.

        President Donald Trump has been teasing bombshells that he may drop during his State of the Union address on Tuesday night.

        Trump has publicly mulled using the speech to declare a national emergency over illegal immigration and to confirm a new summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.

        Asked whether he would declare a national state of emergency, Trump told reporters on Friday to “listen closely” to the address.

        Trump has mulled declaring an emergency as a way of getting money to build a wall along the southwestern US border without the approval of Congress.

        The inability of Trump and lawmakers to agree on wall funding caused a record-breaking partial government shutdown, which stretched from late December to the end of January.

        On Friday, when asked whether people should expect him to declare a national emergency, Trump said: “I think there’s a good chance that we’ll have to do that. But we will at the same time be building, regardless, we’re building a wall. And we’re building a lot of wall. But I can do it a lot faster the other way.”

        He hinted that the State of the Union was where he would announce the move.

        “Well, I’m saying listen closely to the State of the Union,” he said. “I think you’ll find it very exciting.”

        Trump told The New York Times last week that declaring a national emergency might be his chosen route to try to get the wall built.

        “I’ll continue to build the wall and we’ll get the wall finished,” he said. “Now whether or not I declare a national emergency — that you’ll see.”

        He continued to call the issue an “emergency” on Sunday, when speaking on the CBS show “Face the Nation.”

        “It’s national emergency, it’s other things and you know there have been plenty national emergencies called,” he said.

        CNN last month reported that the White House was preparing a draft national emergency declaration and had identified where it could get the money for a wall.

        Such a move would appear to be unpopular. In a CBS poll published Sunday, 66% of Americans said Trump should not declare a national emergency if Congress did not fund a wall.

        Trump raised the issue of the border wall again on Sunday, writing on Twitter that “Republicans must be prepared to do whatever is necessary for STRONG Border Security.”

        “Dems do nothing,” he wrote. “If there is no Wall, there is no Security. Human Trafficking, Drugs and Criminals of all dimensions – KEEP OUT!,”

        A bipartisan group of lawmakers are working to reach a compromise on border security before government funding runs out February 15, when another government shutdown could begin.

        In an interview that aired Sunday, Trump told CBS he would not take the prospect of another shutdown “off the table.”

        Another summit with Kim Jong Un

        Trump also said in the Sunday interview that his next meeting with North Korea’s leader “is set” and that he would reveal details about the planned meeting “probably State of the Union or shortly before.”

        Trump said the US and North Korea had “made tremendous progress” and contradicted the belief of Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats that Kim was unlikely to surrender his nuclear weapons. “That’s what the intelligence chief thinks,” he said.

        Trump instead reiterated his belief that the countries could come to an agreement, saying “there’s also a very good chance that we will make a deal.”

        “It has a chance to be one of the great economic countries in the world,” he said. “He can’t do that with nuclear weapons and he can’t do that on the path they’re on now.

        “I like him. I get along with him great. We have a fantastic chemistry.”
