Pete Buttigieg is a bad mayor, so how could he be a good president? – Washington Examiner

At first glance, South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg seems like the perfect presidential candidate: articulate, intelligent, and charismatic. Too bad he’s also awful at his job.

Buttigieg is polling at 7% according to RealClearPolitics polling average, fourth place in the Democratic primary race. Yet it’s a shame that so many Democrats are falling for his ruse. Not all residents of South Bend are as fond of their mayor as the liberal media is. Hosting a town hall in his community over the weekend, Mayor Pete tried to calm his constituents down in the aftermath of a local shooting of an African American man by a police officer. They weren’t buying it.

One woman yelled out, “We don’t trust you.” Another resident taunted: “You gotta get back to South Carolina like you was yesterday?” In a video of the scene, Buttigieg is shown reading talking points blankly off a sheet of paper to an angry crowd, in what’s an obviously tone deaf display of poor leadership.

And he doesn’t seem to care. As The Blaze reported, someone demanded: “You running for president and you expect black people to vote for you?” He responded, “I’m not asking for your vote.”

Both Buttigieg’s record on race relations and his management of the South Bend Police Department are seriously questionable. This most recent incident aside, Buttigieg removed the city’s first African American police chief, naming a white replacement, and the whole department has grown less diverse during his tenure.

South Bend Police Department veteran Derek Dieter had this to say to CNN: “He [Buttigieg] took a passive approach with the police department. I’ve gone through four or five mayors, but this has taken a certain turn. Qualified minority officers leave, because there is no avenue of advancement or promotion.”

Now, it’s true that Buttigieg won reelection in 2015 by a large margin. But that stamp of approval may not last long now that this latest fiasco has been added on to his poor track record as mayor.

When CNBC interviewed residents of South Bend’s poorest neighborhoods, many weren’t exactly impressed. One local, Shawn White, asked: “Ain’t s–t changed. … How is he gonna run the whole country if you can’t get your city right first?”

That sentiment isn’t completely unfounded. In one of Buttigieg’s signature accomplishments, the “1,000 houses” initiative, he sought to bulldoze or repair 1,000 vacant homes in 1,000 days, all in an effort to fight the city’s housing crisis. But critics say it just further fueled the gentrification of African American and Hispanic neighborhoods. Worse, it led to lead and asbestos contamination, animals wound up in some people’s homes, and, as CNBC put it: “empty lots sit undeveloped, economic opportunity remains minimal and crime rates are up from 2012. Shootings, on the mind of many, have not decreased.” There were actually 11 shootings in South Bend in 10 days at the beginning of June, and there were apparently 11 more (with one fatality) over the weekend.

Meanwhile, Buttigieg is touring the country, campaigning for a promotion. His constituents don’t all appreciate their mayor’s ambition. As White said, “I ain’t ever seen the dude. Tell him to chill with us for three or four days.”

It’s true that there has been some improvement in South Bend during Buttigieg’s tenure, with increases in both population and employment levels during the last half-decade. Yet critics credit that more to the nationally fuelled economic recovery than any particular genius by their mayor.

The bottom line is that Buttigieg has a lot of work to do before he deserves a promotion.

Illinois becomes 11th state in US to legalize recreational marijuana, first to set up statewide marketplace – Fox News

CDC says one in 10 marijuana users become addicted

Despite the growing legalization of marijuana, medical experts say the drug is still addictive; Jeff Paul reports.

Illinois on Tuesday became the 11th state in the U.S. to legalize marijuana for recreational use after Gov. J.B. Pritzker signed a bill that permits residents to purchase and possess up to one ounce of cannabis at a time and non-residents up to 15 grams.

The move, which fulfills one of Pritzker’s campaign promises, also implements the nation’s first comprehensive statewide cannabis marketplace designed by legislators. It also means that nearly 800,000 people with criminal records for purchasing or possessing 30 grams of marijuana or less may have those records expunged.

The law provides for cannabis purchases by adults 21 and older at approved dispensaries, which, after they are licensed and established, may start selling Jan. 1, 2020. That means possession remains a crime until then, a spokesman for Senate Democrats said.

ILLINOIS MAN WITH STAGE 4 CANCER SENTENCED FOR ORDERING THC CHOCOLATES

Pritzker’s successful campaign for governor capitalized on growing public sentiment that law enforcement has better things to do than chase pot smokers and that state government could benefit by regulating and taxing the product as it does alcohol and tobacco.

He claimed that, once established, taxation of marijuana could generate $800 million to $1 billion a year. He initially estimated that in the budget year that begins July 1, dispensary licensing would generate $170 million, but Sen. Heather Steans and Rep. Kelly Cassidy, both Chicago Democrats who have been advocating legalization for at least four years, were forced to lower that estimate to about $58 million in the final proposal. Cassidy added that the fully implemented program might generate only $500 million annually within five years.

The marketplace portion of the Illinois law also addresses what critics have complained is the decades-long war on drugs’ disproportionate impact on minority communities. State Sen. Toi Hutchinson, a Democrat from Olympia Fields, said it was a generally accepted statistic that African-Americans are four-and-a-half times more likely to be convicted of low-level pot offenses, but she did not know if Illinois’ numbers were higher than typical.

In addition to providing criminal-record scrubbing for past low-level offenders, the law gives preference to would-be marijuana vendors in areas of high poverty and records of large numbers of convictions. And portions of the tax proceeds must be reinvested in impoverished communities.

Police organizations are wary, concerned about enforcing driving under the influence laws and arguing technology for testing marijuana impairment needs more development. Law enforcement organizations were successful in killing an earlier provision that would have allowed anyone to group up to five marijuana plants at home for personal use.

Police said they’d have difficulty enforcing that, so the bill was amended to allow five plants to be maintained only by authorized patients under the state’s medical marijuana law. They previously could not grow their own.

Ten other states and the District of Columbia have legalized smoking or eating marijuana for recreational use since 2012, when voters in Colorado and Washington state approved ballot initiatives. Vermont and Michigan last year were the latest states to legalize marijuana. Vermont did so through the Legislature, the first time it wasn’t done through a ballot initiative, but didn’t establish a statewide marketplace as Illinois did.

Other initiatives have failed. Promising proposals in New York and New Jersey fizzled late this spring. Despite a statewide listening tour on the issue by Pennsylvania’s lieutenant governor last winter, the idea never took flight.

The Associated Press contributed to this report.

If you’re in the middle class, Joe Biden wants to raise your taxes – Washington Examiner
If you’re in the middle class, Joe Biden wants to raise your taxes – Washington Examiner

Presidential front-runner Joe Biden has made a startling promise if he’s elected president: repeal the entirety of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 and to increase taxes by $500 billion on top of that. What does he want to do with the money? Besides an $8,000 day care credit giveaway, it’s the usual socialist tax-and-spend menu of government-funded healthcare, the Green New Deal, and assorted other payoffs to the Left’s statist constituencies.

When Biden and his several dozen competitors for the Democratic nomination for president hand-wave “repealing the Trump tax cuts,” they are actually talking about the largest middle-class tax hike in history. The median income family of four is enjoying an annual tax cut of over $2,000 thanks to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.

What are the specific ways middle-class taxes would rise under Biden’s plan to hike taxes on these families?

The first and most obvious answer is that middle-class tax brackets would go up. Middle-class families by and large fall into the 12%, the 22%, or the 24% tax rates on the margin (that is, on their last dollar subject to income tax). If Biden gets his way, these tax brackets would rise to 15%, 25%, and 28% (respectively).

The child tax credit under the Biden tax hike would be cut in half, from $2,000 per child to $1,000 per child. Part of this would be made up for by restoring the dependent exemption, but not all of it. For families of four making $170,000 or more, their child tax credit would go down from $4,000 (assuming two children) to $0.

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act also doubled the standard deduction, allowing millions of middle-class families to chuck the shoebox full of tax receipts on the top of their refrigerators. According to the Tax Foundation, the percentage of tax returns able to claim the standard deduction instead of being forced to itemize deductions rose from roughly 70% – 90% of all returns. Only the wealthiest taxpayers have to worry about the shoebox now. Biden’s plan would force middle-class families to again keep detailed receipts of charitable contributions, local taxes paid, home mortgage interest, etc., and therefore face a much higher chance of a dreaded tax audit.

Biden’s tax increase would also bring back the alternative minimum tax. Before the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, the AMT ensnared nearly 5 million middle-class families. All but eliminated by the tax cut Biden wants to repeal, the AMT was a parallel tax system with different rules and different rates. It made tax planning a nightmare for families in blue states and regions like New Jersey, New York, California, and Connecticut. It often resulted in nasty surprise IRS bills at tax time. It completely disallowed any deduction for state and local taxes, including property taxes on your home. The Democratic primary voters in these states really ought to ask Joe Biden why he wants to bring back the AMT that President Trump lifted off their backs.

Family businesses owned by middle-class families would also face higher taxes. Besides the higher tax rates mentioned above, Biden’s tax hike would repeal the “qualified business income” deduction. Under this part of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, a family business with modest profits can exclude up to one-fifth of those earnings from the income tax. Effectively, that means that middle-class tax rates for small business profits are even lower than those for wage earners. By way of example, a family business in the 24% tax bracket only pays a business income tax rate of just over 19% thanks to this one-fifth deduction, but the rate would rise all the way to 28% under the Biden plan (due to repealing the business deduction and raising the regular tax rate back up to pre-tax cut levels). That’s a pretty large tax increase on Main Street businesses.

Those are just the big ways that Joe Biden’s tax increase plan would hike taxes on middle-class families. It would also impose the highest business tax rate in the developed world, once again shoving jobs and capital overseas. That means an end to the recent uptick in middle-class wages and the employment boom we are enjoying. It also means repealing the global minimum tax known as GILTI, the tax on shipping jobs and capital overseas known as BEAT, and once again allowing giant multinational corporations to park money abroad totally tax-free, forever. All of these, too, were part of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017.

President Trump and congressional Republicans should be proud of passing a tax cut for middle-class families that not only lowered their annual tax bills by thousands of dollars per year, but also simplified taxes and reduced middle-class tax audits. They should be asking Joe Biden and friends why they want to reward multinational corporations by repealing a global minimum tax, ending an exit tax on jobs and capital, and once again allowing giant companies to stuff profits in secret offshore bank accounts. It’s high time that advocates for American taxpayers finally went on offense.

Iran says U.S. sanctions on Khamenei mean end of diplomacy – Reuters
Iran says U.S. sanctions on Khamenei mean end of diplomacy – Reuters

DUBAI (Reuters) – New U.S. sanctions against Iran’s supreme leader and foreign minister have closed off diplomacy, Iran said on Tuesday, blaming the United States for abandoning the only route to peace just days after the two foes came within minutes of conflict.

U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order imposing sanctions on Monday against Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and other senior figures. Sanctions against Foreign Minister Mohmmad Javad Zarif are expected later this week.

The moves came after Iran shot down a U.S. drone last week and Trump called off a retaliatory air strike minutes before impact, which would have been the first time the United States had bombed Iran in decades of hostility between them.

Trump said he decided at the last minute that too many people would die.

“Imposing useless sanctions on Iran’s Supreme Leader and the commander of Iran’s diplomacy is the permanent closure of the path of diplomacy,” Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Abbas Mousavi said on Twitter.

“Trump’s desperate administration is destroying the established international mechanisms for maintaining world peace and security,” Mousavi tweeted.

In a televised address, President Hassan Rouhani said sanctions against Khamenei would have no practical impact because the cleric had no assets abroad.

Rouhani, a pragmatist who won two elections on promises to open Iran up to the world, described the U.S. moves as desperate and called the White House “mentally retarded” – an insult Iranian officials have used in the past about Trump but a departure from Rouhani’s own comparatively measured tone.

Rouhani and his cabinet run Iran’s day-to-day affairs, while Khamenei, in power since 1989, is Iran’s ultimate authority.

“The White House actions mean it is mentally retarded,” Rouhani said. “Tehran’s strategic patience does not mean we have fear.”

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said the situation around Iran was developing toward a dangerous scenario, RIA news agency reported.

“OPEN DOOR”

Trump’s hawkish national security adviser, John Bolton, visiting Israel, repeated earlier offers to hold talks, as long as Iran was willing to go beyond the terms of a 2015 nuclear deal with world powers which Trump abandoned last year.

“The president has held the door open to real negotiations to completely and verifiably eliminate Iran’s nuclear weapons program, its pursuit of ballistic missile delivery systems, its support for international terrorism and other malign behavior worldwide,” Bolton said in Jerusalem. “All that Iran needs to do is to walk through that open door.”

The United States has imposed crippling economic sanctions against Iran since last year, when Trump withdrew from an agreement between Tehran and world powers to curb Iran’s nuclear program in return for the lifting of sanctions.

The crisis has escalated sharply since last month, when the Trump administration tightened the sanctions, ordering all countries to halt purchases of Iranian oil.

That has effectively starved the Iranian economy of the main source of revenue Tehran uses to import food for its 81 million people, and left Iran’s pragmatic faction with no benefits to show for its nuclear agreement.

Washington says the 2015 agreement reached under Trump’s predecessor Barack Obama did not go far enough because it is not permanent and does not cover issues beyond the nuclear program, such as missiles and regional behavior.

Iran says there is no point negotiating with Washington when it has abandoned a deal that was already reached.

The downing of the U.S. drone – which Iran says was over its air space and the United States says was international skies – was the culmination of weeks of rising tensions that had begun to take on a military dimension.

The United States and some regional allies have blamed Iran for attacks on tankers in the Gulf, which Tehran denies. Washington’s European allies have repeatedly warned both sides of the danger that a small mistake could lead to war.

Russian Security Council Secretary Nikolai Patrushev came to Iran’s support, saying the drone was in Iranian airspace when it was shot down and that the evidence on the tanker attacks was of poor quality and unprofessional, not enough to draw conclusions.

During a visit to Jerusalem, Patrushev also said it was unacceptable to portray Iran as a threat to international security and called for restraint to help defuse the situation.

Washington says forcing Iran to the table is the purpose of its sanctions. Tehran has said it is willing to talk if the United States lifts the new sanctions first, although Tuesday’s statements appear to toughen that stance.

Trump is leaving a path open to diplomacy with Iran but Tehran would be making a mistake if it interprets his restraint over the downing of a drone as weakness, U.S. disarmament ambassador Robert Wood told a conference in Geneva.

“We will not initiate a conflict against Iran, nor do we intend to deny Iran the right to defend its airspace but if Iran continues to attack us, our response will be decisive,” he said.

U.S. officials have launched a diplomatic campaign to rally their allies in the face of the escalating crisis. Foreign Secretary Mike Pompeo jetted to the Middle East on Monday to meet leaders of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, Gulf Arab states that favor the toughest possible line against Iran.

The U.S. envoy on Iran, Brian Hook, is visiting Europe, where he is likely to get a frostier reception from allies who support the nuclear deal. They believe Trump’s decision to quit the accord was a mistake that has strengthened Iran’s hardline faction, weakened its pragmatists and endangered regional peace.

Iran says it still aims to comply with the nuclear deal, but cannot do so indefinitely unless it receives some benefits. It has given European countries until July 8 to find a way to shield its economy from U.S. sanctions, or else it will enrich uranium to levels banned under the deal.

To win on immigration, Trump must address both its security and humanitarian crises – Washington Examiner
To win on immigration, Trump must address both its security and humanitarian crises – Washington Examiner

As Congress continues its gridlock over immigration, the humanitarian crisis at the southern border continues to deteriorate.

Lawyers who visited an overcrowded border station in Clint, Texas, earlier this month said they were met with a “chaotic scene of sickness and filth” where “hundreds of young people who have recently crossed the border are being held,” according to the New York Times. Texas Republican Rep. Michael McCaul echoed the lawyers’ concerns and said his state’s immigration detention centers are in the “worst” conditions he’s ever seen, as did Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, who told the Washington Examiner Monday that the border crisis has “never been worse than it is today.”

But Congress has yet to act, and the Trump administration continues to sit and wait patiently for its legislative counterparts to do their jobs.

In an interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper on Sunday, Vice President Mike Pence said the health and safety crises at the border are “heartbreaking” but deflected blame to congressional Democrats.

“Of course we do,” Pence said when asked whether the administration believes migrant children should have access to soap, toothbrushes, and other basic amenities. “My point is that it’s all a part of the appropriations process. Congress needs to provide additional support to deal with the crisis at our southern border.”

Pence is right: Additional funds are necessary to substantially improve migrant detention centers. It’s a shame congressional Democrats, who tout their commitment to migrants and their well-being, refuse to work with Republicans and compromise on a deal. But there are steps the administration can and should take to aid migrants at the border while it addresses the “root causes” of migration.

“The president and the administration can be doing more,” Roy told the Washington Examiner, noting that border security is primarily the executive branch’s responsibility. “The executive branch needs to get busy under our current laws.”

Worsening conditions at detention centers is one of many symptoms attributable to the massive influx of migrants seeking asylum. To reduce and fix the symptoms, the overwhelmed judicial system responsible for asylum hearings must be unclogged, and border agents must receive more financial and physical assistance. This, of course, depends on Congress. With that said, the absence of a permanent solution doesn’t negate the responsibility and ability to do what we can to alleviate what both political parties have admitted is a severe humanitarian crisis.

Trump was willing to declare a national emergency to secure funding for his border wall. Though the declaration was arguably an unnecessary overreach of executive power, it showed how far the president was willing to go for an issue he’s made his own. This commitment shouldn’t stop at border security.

Roy said that a few temporary solutions to ease the burgeoning crisis include giving border control officers the authority to quickly make decisions about “credible fear” claims, or initial claims from asylum-seeking migrants that must demonstrate a “well-founded fear of persecution,” according to the Department of Homeland Security. Giving Border Patrol additional authority would expedite the asylum process and ease the backlogged coffers of immigration judges, Roy said.

It seems Trump knows this, if his recent compromise with House Democrats on a border supplemental bill, which will provide funding for food, shelter, clothing, medical care, legal assistance, etc., is any indication.

To make immigration a winning issue, Trump must own both its security and humanitarian aspects. As it stands, Democrats largely ignore the security crisis and Republicans severely downplay its humanitarian toll. Caught up in their partisan bickering, both parties fail to understand the significance of immigration: Their neglect of the other side’s concerns is proof of that. If this cycle continues, neither side will achieve a permanent solution.

By acknowledging the humanity of the migrants seeking asylum while maintaining pressure on congressional Democrats to pull their weight and advocating for enhanced security, Trump might just unite both sides under a coherent policy he can carry into 2020. But that depends on him.

Sens. Cory Booker and Kirsten Gillibrand are among the presidential candidates to back Sen. Bernie Sanders’ “Medicare-for-all” legislation, but even some Democrats who co-sponsored it have welcomed other policies.

Bill Clark/CQ-Roll Call, Inc.

On Wednesday and Thursday, 20 candidates will take the Democratic debate stage to talk about a wide range of policy topics. And 20 candidates times dozens of policies equals a lot to keep track of.

It’s true that, these being Democratic candidates, there’s a lot they all agree on — taking action on climate change, for example, or improving the health care system. But this debate is the first time we’ll see them next to each other, coming into direct conflict over what, exactly, they disagree on.

With all that in mind, what follows is a primer on the main policy questions we’ll be watching for at the first Democratic debates.

1) Health care: What, specifically, do the candidates want?

Sen. Bernie Sanders’ “Medicare-for-all” plan has played a huge role in setting the terms of the health care conversation. That plan is a single-payer plan, meaning it would create a government-run insurance program financed by taxpayers.

Four of Sanders’ Democratic opponents have signed on as “Medicare-for-all” co-sponsors in the Senate, and three have co-sponsored a House single-payer bill. But that doesn’t mean they’ve all landed firmly on Sanders’ plan as the best option. California Sen. Kamala Harris, for example, has waffled on whether she would be in favor of eliminating private insurance — and “Medicare-for-all” would virtually eliminate private insurance.

One reason this matters: Polls show that many voters don’t entirely understand “Medicare-for-all.” When they do find that out, polling has shown, support tends to drop. So one important question is whether candidates would be OK with that kind of dramatic step.

And if not, what sort of plan do they want? Some candidates, like Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, are open to “Medicare-for-all” as well as other options. Others, like Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar, have said a public option in addition to private insurance is best for now. Pinning all the candidates down on exactly how big of a change they want to make will be a huge question.

2) Climate change: How much daylight between candidates?

After being a lower-tier issue for years among Democrats, climate change has taken center stage. And a lot like “Medicare-for-all” in the health care debate, the sweeping Green New Deal has set the terms of the climate discussion.

Except the Green New Deal isn’t a policy — it’s more of a broad framework that sets out big goals. So a thing to listen for at the debates is how specific candidates get — and, in the process, how much they end up differing from each other — on what, exactly, to do about climate change. How much federal money would they spend? What role could nuclear energy play? Is a carbon tax part of the plan?

3) Immigration: How far will they go beyond criticizing Trump?

The Trump administration’s family separation policy, as well as the conditions in facilities holding migrant children, have angered many Americans — Democrats especially. So when immigration comes up at the debates, you can expect candidates to castigate the Trump administration for these policies.

But the question is what else they suggest doing beyond reversing President Trump’s policies. What might a path to citizenship look like? Do they plan to amp up personnel to deal with the backlog of immigration and asylum cases? Do they want to expand border security or border barriers?

In addition, many people coming to the United States illegally are fleeing some sort of terrible circumstances in their home countries — economic ruin, for example, or gang violence. So what would any of these prospective presidents want to do to try to change those conditions abroad, particularly in Central America?

4) Trade: Will Democrats’ big rifts expose themselves?

Trade is an area where there’s room for Democratic candidates to really differ. As vice president, Joe Biden — along with plenty of Democrats — pushed the Trans-Pacific Partnership, a massive deal meant to open up Asian markets and attempt to set the rules for China.

But this created a big rift within the left, as figures like Sanders and Warren were staunchly opposed to the deal, saying it was bad for American workers. Hillary Clinton eventually came out against it in her 2016 primary run against Sanders.

And that message — that trade hurts American workers — is one that President Trump ran heavily on in 2016. In fact, Sanders and Warren both applauded Trump’s exit from the Trans-Pacific Partnership.

So when trade deals come up, they have the potential to open a clear divide in the pool of Democratic candidates.

As with immigration, it could be easy for Democrats to simply blast Trump’s actions. But if the debates dig into what they would actually want to do once in office — Try to get into more multilateral deals, like the Trans-Pacific Partnership? Repeal all of Trump’s tariffs? — it could lead to some genuine disagreements on the stage.

5) Foreign policy: Which fires to put out and in what order?

All these candidates are auditioning to be commander in chief at a time of growing international tensions — most notably, the recent escalating tensions with Iran, almost culminating in U.S. strikes and eventually new sanctions.

So these candidates could face some tough questions: How would the U.S. deal with Iran? Was it wrong for Trump to sit down with Kim Jong Un? How do you stop election interference by Russia and others?

It’s not just about enemies and frenemies either. Candidates must also consider how they would repair relationships with allies that Trump has strained, as well as how they might want to improve America’s standing in the eyes of the world.

6) Race-conscious policies: How would you alleviate racial inequality?

The topic of reparations has become a key economic policy issue in the 2020 campaign. Many of the Democratic presidential candidates support H.R. 40, a House resolution to create a commission to study reparations for African Americans.

It’s a policy that could prove divisive among voters; an April poll from Fox News found that just over half of Democrats approve of reparations, and that only one-third of Americans do.

Beyond that, candidates take different tacks in how they would specifically work to benefit racial minorities.

Some have explicitly race-based economic proposals, like Warren’s plan to boost minority-owned small businesses. Other proposals, like Sen. Cory Booker’s “baby bonds” proposal, are race blind but would stand to particularly boost black and Hispanic Americans.

Criminal justice is another area where candidates have attempted to reduce inequality; Cory Booker’s clemency plan, released last week, aims to lessen racial sentencing disparities.

7) Priorities: What will the candidates throw their weight behind?

Each of these candidates has taken positions (or made vague pronouncements) on dozens of issues. But they can’t do everything — overhauling health care, criminal justice, democratic procedures and tax policy in one term would be virtually impossible.

So they’ll have to prioritize. And one thing we’re watching closely for is what candidates would tackle first. What issues are so important that they would spend their precious political capital on them right after inauguration?

Almost 300 migrant children removed from Texas facility described as ‘appalling’ – NBC News
Almost 300 migrant children removed from Texas facility described as ‘appalling’ – NBC News

Almost 300 migrant children have been removed from a border patrol facility in Texas after media reports of lawyers describing “appalling” and potentially dangerous conditions, Department of Homeland Security officials told NBC News.

Lawyers who recently visited two Texas facilities holding migrant children described seeing young children and teenagers not being able to shower for days or even weeks, inadequate food, flu outbreaks and prolonged periods of detention.

The children who were removed were being held at a border station in Clint, Texas. Some were wearing dirty clothes covered in mucus or even urine, said Elora Mukherjee, the director of the Immigrants’ Rights Clinic at Columbia Law School. Teenage mothers wore clothing stained with breast milk. None of the children had access to soap or toothpaste, she said.

“Almost every child I spoke with had not showered or bathed since they crossed the border — some of them more than three weeks ago,” she said. “There is a stench that emanates from some of the children because they haven’t had an opportunity to put on clean clothes and to take a shower.”

The children have been taken to a tent detention camp also in El Paso, Texas, where they will remain under the custody of Border Patrol until they can be placed with the Department of Health and Human Services, the DHS officials said. The Associated Press first reported on the conditions at the facility.

Mukherjee was part of the team of lawyers who visited the facility last week. She said that although the border station has the capacity for slightly more than 100 people, when they arrived Monday morning there were about 350 children there. The group spoke to more than 60.

“I have never seen conditions as appalling as what we witnessed last week,” she said. “The children are hungry, dirty and sick and being detained for very long periods of time.”

“Children who are young themselves are being told by guards they must take care of even younger children,” Mukherjee said, adding that children as young as 7 and 8 were forced to care for 2-year-olds.

She said almost all the children had been separated from the adults they crossed the border with — siblings, aunts or grandparents, or even their parents.

“They don’t know where their loved ones are who they crossed the border with,” she said.

Many also had family members already in the United States waiting to take them in, she said.

Federal law requires unaccompanied or separated migrant children be transferred to HHS custody within 72 hours, but some children at the Clint facility had been in Border Patrol custody for weeks, she said.

Migrant children are increasingly finding themselves stuck on concrete benches or even outside at Border Patrol stations, with HHS close to exceeding its capacity, according to three government officials and documents reviewed by NBC News.

Meanwhile, a different team of attorneys said they had also encountered children in similar conditions when they visited the Central Processing Center in McAllen, Texas, this month.

“It’s the same conditions,” immigration attorney Hope Frye said.

Frye said she encountered a 17-year-old Guatemalan mother with a premature baby at the crowded facility. The mother was wheelchair-bound after an emergency C-section in Mexico. When Frye met her, she was “caked with dirt” and neither she nor her baby had showered since arriving, she said.

Frye said she took a tissue to clean the baby and wiped off “black dirt from her neck.”

Frye described the baby as looking weak and said the mother told her she had stopped thriving while at the facility.

Frye said she felt she had no choice but to come forward to tell the young mother’s story. The teen and her baby have since been released from Border Patrol custody.

“She told me she believed if they did not get out, her baby would die,” she said. “There is no question in my mind that it was the extreme love of this 17-year-old mother that kept that baby alive.”

Frye described filthy conditions, adding, “There is no soap and no water, or the water is inadequate or inaccessible unless you’re let out of the cages.”

Frye also said of the children they spoke to, “almost every kid had some sort of illness” or had been sick. She said the team sent a doctor back to the facility after the visit, and six children were ultimately sent to the hospital.

Customs and Border Protection did not immediately respond to request for comment about the conditions at the Clint and McAllen facilities.

A decades-old agreement known as the Flores Settlement sets the guidelines for treatment of migrant children as well as their detention and release, including that facilities be “safe and sanitary.”

Last week, a Department of Justice attorney appeared in court to argue an appeal of a 2017 ruling that the conditions of the settlement were being violated. In a clip that went viral, attorney Sarah Fabian argued that specific amenities such as soap, toothbrushes and even a half a night’s sleep should not be required under the terms of the original settlement. The argument drew criticism from the panel of judges at the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

“To me it’s more like it’s within everybody’s common understanding: If you don’t have a toothbrush, if you don’t have soap, if you don’t have a blanket, it’s not safe and sanitary,” Judge A. Wallace Tashima said. “Wouldn’t everybody agree to that? Would you agree to that?”

Vice President Mike Pence said Sunday he does believe migrant children should have access to soap, toothbrushes and other basic amenities.

Johnson defends Brexit plan and ‘row’ silence – BBC News
Johnson defends Brexit plan and ‘row’ silence – BBC News
Media captionBoris Johnson on Brexit, privacy and his character

Boris Johnson has admitted he would need EU co-operation to avoid a hard Irish border or crippling tariffs on trade in the event of a no-deal Brexit.

In an exclusive interview with the BBC, the favourite to be the next PM said: “It’s not just up to us.”

But he said he did “not believe for a moment” the UK would leave without a deal, although he was willing to do so.

Asked about a row he’d had with his partner, he said it was “simply unfair” to involve “loved ones” in the debate.

Reports of the argument on Friday with his girlfriend, Carrie Symonds, dominated headlines over the weekend after the police were called to their address in London.

The interview comes after Sky News said it would have to cancel a head-to-head debate on Tuesday between the two leadership contenders as Mr Johnson had “so far declined” to take part.

Work and Pensions Secretary Amber Rudd told Radio 4’s Today programme she found Mr Johnson’s decision to ignore live TV debates “very odd” and urged him “to reconsider”.

Following days of criticism that he has been avoiding media scrutiny, Mr Johnson has given a number of other interviews, including with LBC and Talk Radio.

He told Talk Radio’s political editor Ross Kempsell he would “not rest” until the UK had left the EU, insisting Brexit would happen on 31 October “come what may… do or die”.

Meanwhile, the other candidate, Jeremy Hunt has promised to boost defence spending by £15bn over the next five years if he becomes prime minister.

‘Different understanding’

In his interview with BBC political editor Laura Kuenssberg, Mr Johnson said the existing deal negotiated by Theresa May “is dead”.

He insisted it was possible to broker a new deal with the EU before the end of October because the political landscape had changed in the UK and on the continent.

“I think actually that politics has changed so much since 29 March,” he said, referring to the original Brexit deadline.

“I think on both sides of the Channel there’s a really different understanding of what is needed.”

At the moment, the UK is due to leave the EU on 31 October after the PM’s Brexit deal was rejected three times by Parliament, and the EU has previously said the withdrawal agreement reached with the UK cannot be reopened.

Mr Johnson said he would be able to persuade Brussels to resolve the Irish border issue – a key sticking point – despite repeated warnings from EU leaders that that was impossible.

He said there were “abundant, abundant technical fixes” that could be made to avoid border checks.

When challenged that these did not exist yet, Mr Johnson replied: “Well, they do actually, you have in very large measure they do, you have trusted trader schemes, all sorts of schemes that you could put into place.”

But, he admitted, there was “no single magic bullet” to solve the issue.

A plan full of ifs and buts

Mr Johnson’s really controversial gamble is to say he could do a new trade deal with EU leaders before the end of October.

And he says he would be able to do that before resolving the most controversial conundrum – how you fix the dilemma over the Irish border.

He clearly believes he has the political skill to pull that off. He and his supporters would say that is a plan.

But it is a plan that is full of ifs and buts – either heroic or foolhardy assumptions to imagine that EU leaders and Parliament would be ready to back his vision – and back it by Halloween – on an extremely tight deadline.

The political pressure is on, not just to get it done quickly, but done in a way that does not harm our relations with the rest of the world and the livelihoods of people living in this country.

In terms of the controversies over his personal life, it is absolutely clear even now – when he is on the threshold of No 10 – that Boris Johnson thinks there are questions he simply does not have to answer.

And for a politician about whose character many people have their doubts, that is going to follow him around unless and until he is willing to give more.

Mr Johnson said if he was elected he would start new talks as soon as he reached Downing Street to discuss a free trade agreement.

He also said he hoped the EU would be willing to grant a period of time where the status quo was maintained for a deal to be finalised after Brexit.

He called this “an implementation period”, but accepted this was not the same as the implementation period in the current draft treaty agreed with the EU.

Mr Johnson committed to passing new laws as soon as possible in order to guarantee the rights of EU citizens living in the UK.

The former foreign secretary also suggested EU leaders might change their attitude to renegotiation because they had Brexit Party MEPs they did not want in their Parliament, and wanted to get the £39bn that had been promised as part of the so-called divorce bill.

He also said MPs could be more willing to back a revised deal because they realised both main parties would face “real danger of extinction” if Brexit were to be stalled.

‘Good reason’

Mr Johnson refused again to give more detail of what happened at his home in the early hours of Friday.

He has faced three days of questions over his private life after the row with his partner Carrie Symonds.

“I do not talk about stuff involving my family, my loved ones,” he said.

“And there’s a very good reason for that. That is that, if you do, you drag them into things that really is… not fair on them.”

Instead of his private life, he said the public actually want to know “what is going on with this guy”?

“Does he, when it comes to trust, when it comes to character, all those things, does he deliver what he says he’s going to deliver?”

Despite widespread criticisms from his fellow Conservatives that he cannot be trusted, Mr Johnson said anyone questioning his character was “talking absolute nonsense”.

He also refused to respond to accusations from leadership rival Jeremy Hunt that he was being a “coward” for avoiding more head-to-head TV debates, promising that if elected he would “govern from the centre right” because the centre “is where you win”.

Ms Rudd, who is supporting Mr Hunt, said Mr Johnson was making a mistake by shying away from the debates and said he needed to “go further” in explaining his Brexit plan.

“This is an incredibly difficult situation and Boris needs to explain how he will deal with both sides of the Conservative Party that have concerns and try and break the impasse with the European Union.

“Enthusiasm and optimism is not sufficient.”

Responding to claims that a dozen Tory MPs would be prepared to bring down a government heading to a no-deal Brexit, she said: “I think that’s about right. I think it’s slightly less than that, but it’s certainly more than two.”

G20 summit: With Trump and Jingping on the cusp of a trade war truce, this is what’s at stake for the global economy – The Independent
G20 summit: With Trump and Jingping on the cusp of a trade war truce, this is what’s at stake for the global economy – The Independent

What should we expect from the G20 summit meeting that takes place in Osaka, Japan, at the end of this week? No quick end to the rumbling global trade war for a start – but Wall Street is betting on a truce, and that is probably what will happen.

The G20 matters because the countries represented there generate some 80 per cent of the world’s economic activity. Much has been made of the way the global economy has become ever more integrated, but global politics remain set in their national silos.

Well, the G20 is the nearest thing we have to a world government. It is, of course, a long way from that, but at least it gives a framework for discussions between the head of national states about their mutual self-interests. And right now, mutual self-interest requires a reasonable accord on keeping trade lines open.

Obviously, the great up-front issue is between China and the US. There will be an extended meeting between Xi Jinping and Donald Trump, and some kind of truce will probably be agreed. But I expect this will be a ceasefire that prevents further escalation, rather than reversion to the relationship that preceded Trump’s presidency. Big US companies are canny. They are already unwinding the complex supply chains that have developed over the past two decades, and seeking to replace (or at least supplement) Chinese suppliers with producers elsewhere in Asia and to some extent Latin America.

A truce makes sense for both. Both economies have been damaged. But the tussle for global economic leadership between the US and China will continue for at least a generation, and this summit will be just one more event in shaping the evolving relationship. See this as the start of another cold war, but one where economics and technology are the defining issues, not military might, as was the case with the US and Russia.

For Europeans and Britons, the next question will be in what way the US will challenge European trade policies. The US runs a current account deficit. The EU as a whole has a surplus and a larger one than China – though the UK, like the US, runs a deficit. So, once he feels he has stabilised the China situation, it would be natural for Trump to turn to Europe. It is not on the agenda, but expect to catch some feeling for this in Osaka.

From the narrow perspective of the UK, the danger is that we will be caught in the crossfire between the EU and the US. From the wider perspective of Europe, the danger is that anything that restricts exports will push an already-slowing economy into recession. And from the widest perspective of the global economy, the danger is that the present reasonable freedom of trade worldwide will be weakened still further.

I don’t think we need to panic. We do, however, need to be alert.

The other great issue to look out for will be indications of Indian economic policy now that Narendra Modi has been re-elected so resoundingly. India has been the fastest-growing large economy in the world. I think this is wonderful, but I want to catch a feeling for the next directions of policy. The key issue is how open India will be to inward investment. It needs to be, but economic nationalism is pushing against it.

Finally, any feeling for the way in which the emerging world is coping with environmental challenges would be enormously welcome. The developed world will gradually tackle its pollution, emissions levels, and energy use. You can argue, many people do, that it is doing so too slowly, or has the wrong priorities. But there is movement. What China, India and to some extent Russia, do is in many ways more important. There is movement in China, but it and India are more directly threatened. The cities of the Indian subcontinent have some of the lowest air quality in the world.  

There is a huge amount to be done. The G20 is only a forum for debating how that might be done. But it is better than nothing – the best we have got – and we should respect and listen to what emerges.

Trump accuser says most people think of rape as being ‘sexy’ in interview – Fox News

E. Jean Carroll, the writer who accused President Trump of sexually assaulting her in the mid-1990s, raised eyebrows when she said in an interview that most people consider rape “sexy.”

The longtime advice columnist for Elle Magazine appeared on CNN Monday to detail the allegations from 23 years ago in a dressing room. She said the incident wasn’t “sexual” and likened it to a “fight.”

LONGTIME ADVICE COLUMNIST E. JEAN CARROLL ACCUSES TRUMP OF SEXUAL ASSAULT IN 1990S

“I was not thrown on the ground and ravaged. The word rape carries so many sexual connotations. This was not sexual. It just hurt,” she said.

Anderson Cooper, the CNN host, asked Carroll about her refusal to use word rape and pointed out that most people describe rape as a violent assault.

“I think most people think of rape as being sexy. Think of the fantasies,” Carroll replied. The interview was interrupted by a commercial break.

New York magazine on Friday published the allegations as part of an excerpt from her forthcoming book in which she accuses Trump, and other men, of improper sexual behavior.

She claimed the Trump incident occurred at Bergdorf Goodman in either the fall of 1995 or the spring of 1996. Trump has denied the allegations. He was criticized for saying in an interview that she is not his type.

Carroll is known for her “Ask E. Jean” column, which runs in Elle magazine.

WINNING UGLY? MEDIA HIT TRUMP STYLE OVER IRAN, BUT SOMETIMES IT WORKS

In the excerpt, Carroll, who had a daily advice show at the time, said Trump recognized her and asked for her help choosing a gift. She said they eventually made their way into the lingerie section, and then a dressing room.

“The moment the dressing-room door is closed, he lunges at me, pushes me against the wall, hitting my head quite badly and puts his mouth against my lips,” Carroll wrote. In explicit detail, Carroll wrote that Trump held her against a wall and pulled down her tights.

“The next moment, still wearing correct business attire, shirt, tie, suit jacket, overcoat, he opens the overcoat, unzips his pants, and, forcing his fingers around my private area, thrusts his penis halfway — or completely, I’m not certain — inside me,” she said. “It turns into a colossal struggle.”

After coming forward with her allegations, Carroll told MSNBC on Friday that despite the alleged ordeal, she won’t pursue the allegations in court due to the migrant detention situation at the southern border, saying it would be “disrespectful.

“I would find it disrespectful to the women who are down on the border who are being raped around the clock down there without any protection,” Carroll said. “As you know, the women have very little protection there. It would just be disrespectful.”

Trump released a lengthy statement vehemently denying the allegations: “I’ve never met this person in my life. She is trying to sell a new book — that should indicate her motivation. It should be sold in the fiction section.”

    ‘She’s not my type’: Trump again denies E. Jean Carroll’s sexual misconduct allegation – USA TODAY

    These are 4 things you need to know about E. Jean Carroll. The advice columnist is the latest to accuse President Donald Trump of sexual assault.
    USA TODAY

    WASHINGTON – Saying that “she’s not my type,” President Donald Trump on again denied Monday that he forced himself onto longtime advice columnist E. Jean Carroll.

    “I’ll say it with great respect: Number one, she’s not my type,” he said during an interview with The Hill. “Number two, it never happened. It never happened, OK?” 

    Since Carroll came forward Friday with an accusation that Trump sexually assaulted her over 20 years ago, the president has repeatedly denied it, calling her a liar and saying the two have never even met.

    Shortly after the president’s latest comments, Carroll responded.

    “I love that I’m not his type,” she said during an interview on CNN. She noted she only mentioned Trump by name once in her forthcoming book, “What Do We Need Men For? A Modest Proposal,” which details the allegation, and that the book is not about him.

    Previously, Trump had a similar response when another woman accused him of sexual misconduct.

    In October 2016, Jessica Leeds accused Trump of putting his hand up her skirt on an airplane in the early 1980s. Days after she came forward, Trump said during a rally that Leeds was not physically attractive enough for him.

    “Believe me, she would not be my first choice, that I can tell you,” he said.

    Carroll wrote in her book that Trump forced himself on her in a Bergdorf Goodman dressing room in the mid-1990s. New York Magazine published an excerpt from the book, which included a photo of Carroll wearing the coat dress she said she wore the day of the alleged attack more than two decades ago.

    Carroll wrote in the excerpt that she ran into Trump while shopping at the elegant New York City department store. She said that he stopped her and greeted her as “that advice lady,” and she responded by greeting him as “that real-estate tycoon.”

    He asked for her help to buy a present for a “girl,” Carroll wrote. She pointed out handbags and hats, but Trump pointed out lingerie and asked Carroll to try on a piece, she said. Near the dressing room, Carroll claimed, Trump forced himself on her.

    “The moment the dressing-room door is closed, he lunges at me, pushes me against the wall, hitting my head quite badly, and puts his mouth against my lips,” Carroll wrote. “He holds me against the wall with his shoulder and jams his hand under my coat dress and pulls down my tights.”

    Carroll claimed Trump “opens the overcoat, unzips his pants, and, forcing his fingers around my private area, thrusts his penis halfway – or completely, I’m not certain – inside me.” The episode lasted no longer than three minutes, Carroll said. It was the last time she had sex, she wrote.

    The incident was not reported to the police, and Carroll said she told only two close friends, whose names were not made public in the story. One told her to go to the police. The other told her to forget about it, she wrote.

    At least 15 other women have accused Trump of sexual misconduct. The president has denied all allegations.

    On Friday, the president said in a statement released by the White House that the advice columnist was trying to just sell books.

    Monday, Trump also said that Carroll was “totally lying” about her allegation.

    “Totally lying. I don’t know anything about her,” he said Monday. “I know nothing about this woman. I know nothing about her. She is — it’s just a terrible thing that people can make statements like that.”

    Anderson Cooper cuts to commercial after E. Jean Carroll calls rape ‘sexy’ – Washington Examiner
    Anderson Cooper cuts to commercial after E. Jean Carroll calls rape ‘sexy’ – Washington Examiner

    CNN host Anderson Cooper cut to commercial during an interview with the woman who has recently accused President Trump of assaulting her in the mid-1990s.

    Cooper had asked writer E. Jean Carroll if she felt like she was a victim.

    During a discussion of her allegations with the CNN host, Carroll maintained that there was nothing “sexual” about her alleged rape in the dressing room of a New York department store.

    “I was not thrown on the ground and ravaged,” Carroll said, denying that she was a victim. “The word rape carries so many sexual connotations. This was not sexual. It just hurt.”

    Carroll described the alleged event between Trump and her as a “fight” rather than “rape.”

    Cooper responded by saying that most people would likely think of rape as a violent assault, to which Carroll responded that she thinks most people find rape “sexy.”

    “I think most people think of rape as being sexy,” she said. “They think of the fantasies.”

    Cooper quickly cut in and said they would take a quick break.

    “You’re fascinating to talk to,” Carroll quipped.

    Carroll’s interview with Cooper comes after she accused the president Friday of sexually assaulting her in either 1995 or 1996.

    The accusation was published in New York Magazine as an early excerpt release of her book, coming out July 2, titled What Do We Need Men For? A Modest Proposal.

    Trump has denied the allegation on multiple occasions.

    “Totally lying. I don’t know anything about her,” the president said in an interview. “I know nothing about this woman. I know nothing about her. She is — it’s just a terrible thing that people can make statements like that.”

    Government Transfers Detained Migrant Children Out Of Unsanitary Conditions – NPR

    The entrance of a Border Patrol station in Clint, Texas. U.S. Customs and Border Protection said the agency is removing children from the facility following reports of unsanitary conditions inside.

    Cedar Attanasio/AP

    More than 200 migrant children detained in a remote Border Patrol station in southwest Texas without adequate food, water and sanitation have been moved after news of the conditions became public last week.

    “This morning, my office was informed that only 30 children remain in the Clint Border Patrol station in El Paso County,” Rep. Veronica Escobar tweeted Monday. She said that last week lawyers for Human Rights Watch had “found 255 children in beyond alarming conditions.”

    A law professor who recently visited the facility, Warren Binford of Willamette University, described the conditions for children in an interview with NPR’s Lulu Garcia Navarro.

    “Many of them are sleeping on concrete floors, including infants, toddlers, preschoolers. They are being given nothing but instant meals, Kool-Aid and cookies – many of them are sick. We are hearing that many of them are not sleeping. Almost all of them are incredibly sad and being traumatized. Many of them have not been given a shower for weeks. Many of them are not being allowed to brush their teeth except for maybe once every 10 days. They have no access to soap. It’s incredibly unsanitary conditions, and we’re very worried about the children’s health.”

    News of the conditions at the Clint facility was first reported last week by the Associated Press based on initial interviews with Binford and other lawyers who were conducting inspections under the terms of the Flores settlement, a legal agreement that spells out how the government is supposed to treat detained migrant children.

    The AP reported:

    “A 2-year-old boy locked in detention wants to be held all the time. A few girls, ages 10 to 15, say they’ve been doing their best to feed and soothe the clingy toddler who was handed to them by a guard days ago. Lawyers warn that kids are taking care of kids, and there’s inadequate food, water and sanitation for the 250 infants, children and teens at the Border Patrol station.”

    In a statement issued Friday, Customs and Border Protection said that it “leverages our limited resources to provide the best care possible to those in our custody, especially children,” and “all allegations of civil rights abuses or mistreatment in CBP detention are taken seriously and investigated to the fullest extent possible.”

    Under the Flores settlement, children detained by the Border Patrol are supposed to be turned over to the custody of the Office of Refugee Resettlement, an arm of the Department of Health and Human Services, within 72 hours. Some children said they had been kept at the Clint facility for weeks.

    It is not clear where the children formerly detained at the Clint facility have been transferred. Escobar said some of the children were temporarily sent to Border Patrol Station 1 on the north side of El Paso.

    Vice President Mike Pence told CNN on Sunday that the administration is asking Congress for funds to pay for more bed space for migrant families.

    “Congress needs to provide additional support to deal with our crisis on our southern border,” said Pence.

    Anti-Trump MSNBC host Chris Matthews praises president for calling off Iran strike – Fox News

    President Trump hits Iran with new sanctions

    Reaction and analysis from the ‘Special Report’ All-Star panel.

    MSNBC’s Chris Matthews has been one of the president’s most unhinged critics, but even he couldn’t resist praising Trump for refraining from a military strike on Iran, saying he’s “glad” he didn’t go through with it.

    President Trump revealed last week that he called off the strike against Iran following them shooting down a U.S. drone roughly ten minutes before the strike was set to launch after he learned that roughly 150 Iranians would have been killed.

    TRUMP SIGNS EXECUTIVE ORDER DELIVERING ‘HARD-HITTING’ SANCTIONS AGAINST IRAN

    Video

    “If Trump had taken military action, I would have come down hard on him,” Matthews told the panel Monday evening. “I think it’s good that he hesitated. I think hesitation before using military action and asking how many casualties there are going to be on the other side is a good question.”

    The “Hardball” host invoked the lives lost during the Iraq War and how those that died “weren’t the bad guys.”

    “The fact he found out it was 150 or so people — we went into Iraq, everybody said it was going to be quick and easy, it was going to be a slam dunk,” Matthews elaborated.

    “We may have killed somewhere between 150,000 people and a million people, Iraqis, who were just there, they were just Iraqis, they weren’t the bad guys. We only make that calculation now. It’s time that — I like the fact that the president asked up front to his NSC people: how many people will die if we take this step? I think it’s good and I’m glad he did it.”

    The Trump administration announced on Monday that the president approved “hard-hitting” sanctions on Iran, hoping to specifically target Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and his associates.

    Bernie Sanders faces a new kind of threat in Elizabeth Warren – The Washington Post
    Bernie Sanders faces a new kind of threat in Elizabeth Warren – The Washington Post

    Sean Sullivan

    June 24 at 7:02 PM

    The Bernie Sanders campaign, facing a new challenge in the rise of Elizabeth Warren, has settled for now on a careful if sometimes awkward strategy: emphasizing Sanders’s unique position in the liberal movement, while avoiding direct attacks on Warren and rolling out plans that overlap with her attention-grabbing ideas.

    That approach was on display Monday as Sanders introduced a proposal to cancel all student debt across the country. His plan came about two months after Warren announced her own idea for scrapping student debt, one that would cover fewer people than Sanders’s would. “Under the proposal we introduced today, all student debt would be canceled in six months,” Sanders said.

    But doubling down on his ideological purity and socialist credentials carries risks for the senator from Vermont, other Democrats say. It’s enabled Warren to position herself as impassioned but reasonable, while Sanders holds down the leftward flank of the Democratic Party and serves as the ideological outlier in the race.

    “They both have a crusader mentality around correcting what is wrong,” said Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.), who knows both and has not yet endorsed in the contest. “They understand they are speaking to a similar vision of the country, and obviously they are trying to distinguish themselves from each other.”

    For Sanders, the threat from Warren (D-Mass.) is different from any he’s faced during his long political career, including in his 2016 presidential run, since Warren in many ways embraces the same brand of fiery liberalism.

    Among some Sanders allies, there is private frustration that Warren is getting credit for ideas that they believe originated with him. And that frustration is starting to show.

    Last Friday, Warren released a plan to end private prisons. That same day, Sanders adviser Josh Orton tweeted two articles about Sanders’s own work on prison reform, from several years ago. “Flashback Friday,” he wrote.

    On Wednesday, Warren announced her endorsement of Tiffany Cabán in the race for district attorney in Queens. Less than an hour later, Sanders campaign manager Faiz Shakir tweeted: “Just for everyone’s general awareness: Bernie spoke with Tiffany Cabán and was impressed. We had already communicated our endorsement, but per their request, we waited to roll it out until it best suited the campaign strategy.”

    One recent episode put Sanders in the position of insisting he hadn’t meant to attack Warren. On Wednesday, a tweet from Sanders’s account declared: “The cat is out of the bag. The corporate wing of the Democratic Party is publicly ‘anybody but Bernie.’ ” It linked to a Politico article about centrists coming around to Warren as an alternative to Sanders.

    Pressed by CNN host Chris Cuomo, Sanders said the tweet “was not about Elizabeth Warren at all” but about Third Way, the centrist organization that was critical of him in the story.

    But the tweet looked to some like a dismissal of Warren as a candidate favored by the party’s “corporate wing.” Some Sanders allies thought it sent the right message — criticizing Third Way — but delivered it clumsily by inserting Warren’s name into the mix, according to people familiar with the situation, who like others spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe private discussions.

    Warren allies, meanwhile, are actively trying to convert supporters of Sanders and other candidates. The Progressive Change Campaign Committee, a group backing Warren, launched an initiative Monday called “Switch to Warren,” and has set up a website sharing stories of voters who initially backed others but are now in Warren’s camp.

    The challenge for both candidates is that, since they’re appealing to many of the same voters, any critiques must be handled delicately to avoid alienating possible backers. Warren has gained steam in the campaign by touting a fast-growing portfolio of proposals to shift resources from the wealthy to working-class Americans, appealing to many of the same rebellious voters who have fueled Sanders’s ascent. “I have a plan for that” has become her mantra.

    And at a moment when many Democrats are demanding greater diversity and fresher faces, Warren may have an edge as a woman and a first-time presidential candidate.

    Sanders and his aides are essentially advancing two main arguments at this point in the race. One is that his history of fighting for liberal priorities is unequaled by other candidates — including, by implication, Warren.

    “He was the standard-bearer for many, many, many issues which are now accepted in the Democratic Party and that his opponents support,” said Sanders senior adviser Jeff Weaver. “It is important to know who was sort of the trailblazer on many of these things.”

    The other is that he is best equipped to beat President Trump, particularly in the upper Midwestern states that helped tilt the 2016 election toward the GOP. Sanders’s supporters argue that his gritty brand of economic populism could appeal to some Trump supporters. “His record stands alone,” said Ari Rabin-Havt, chief of staff for the Sanders campaign.

    Sanders’s relatively gentle approach to Warren, contrasting with his usual combative tactics, reflects complicated personal and political dynamics. Sanders has long counted Warren as a friend and ideological ally, and they have often supported each other’s initiatives in the Senate.

    The presidential contest has scrambled that landscape. “Both of them share the same path, which is to consolidate the progressive lane and expand a little bit beyond that,” said Adam Jentleson, a Democratic strategist with friends in both camps. “Each of them needs the other’s supporters to win, but the other’s supporters are less likely to go to them if they are mean to each other.”

    A recent Monmouth University poll showed Warren running about even with Sanders — a big shift from the March survey, when he enjoyed roughly three times as much support as she did. The poll did not demonstrate conclusively that her gains came at his expense. But it did show that Warren’s biggest jump came among liberals just as support for Sanders dropped with that group.

    Before Warren’s rise, Sanders’s 2020 campaign confronted foes that were familiar from his first presidential run: wealthy Democratic donors, a think tank with ties to Hillary Clinton, and a leading candidate preferred by many party veterans, in this case former vice president Joe Biden.

    All that changed when Warren started to make strides. While her momentum took some in the party by surprise, Sanders and his inner circle have long regarded her as a potentially formidable opponent. She came up in their private conversations well before the 2020 race started, according to people familiar with the discussions.

    Just as Sanders has avoided going after Warren, she has steered clear of directly attacking him. The candidates will appear on different nights in this week’s Democratic debate, postponing the possibility of a showdown on national television.

    But behind the scenes, they are battling each other in different ways. Both, for example, are cultivating relationships with liberal Democrats on Capitol Hill whose endorsements would be valuable.

    Sanders unveiled his student debt plan Monday alongside Jayapal and Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) and Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), rising stars of the left. Warren collaborated on her student debt proposal with Rep. James E. Clyburn (D-S.C.), a kingmaker in a key early-primary state.

    Perhaps nothing exemplifies their divergent strategies like their party affiliations. Sanders is an independent who identifies as a democratic socialist, giving him an advantage with voters who are suspicious of both parties and skeptical of the political establishment.

    Warren, a Democrat, has emphasized that she is a capitalist, while arguing for using the tools of governance to level the playing field. That could give her an edge with traditional Democrats who worry about socialism and fear alienating centrist voters in the general election.

    Their rhetorical styles in some ways mirror those strategies. Where Sanders is thunderous and sweeping, Warren is pointed and analytical, associates say.

    “I’ve been very impressed with how she can turn a complicated thought into a very simple, straightforward declarative sentence, which is a gift,” said Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), a liberal who agrees with both of them on most issues. “And he has the same quality of rhetoric-making, but it strikes me as a different style.”

    While Sanders has been cautious with Warren, he is taking a very different approach to his other main rival, Biden. Sanders is among the most vocal critics of Biden’s record, comparing it disparagingly with his own positions on issues like trade and foreign policy.

    Weeks ago, Sanders aides discussed whether he should mention Biden by name in a high-profile speech designed to sharpen the contrast with the former vice president, according to people familiar with the situation. Sanders didn’t name Biden, but the intent of his message — the need to avoid a “middle ground” — was clear.

    Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.), a national co-chair for the Sanders campaign, said the primary contest will come down to Sanders, Warren and Biden.

    “I think this race is going to have parallels to 1968,” said Khanna, noting that Sens. Robert F. Kennedy (D-N.Y.) and Eugene McCarthy (D-Minn.) competed for liberal support that year, while Vice President Hubert Humphrey consolidated establishment backers.

    Biden is like Humphrey, he said, adding, “I’ll leave it for others to say who is Kennedy and who is McCarthy.”

    Trump appears to name the wrong Iranian leader when announcing sanctions on Iran – USA TODAY
    Trump appears to name the wrong Iranian leader when announcing sanctions on Iran – USA TODAY

    President Donald Trump signs an executive order targeting Iran’s supreme leader and his associates with financial sanctions, the latest action the U.S. has taken to pressure Tehran from developing nuclear weapons and supporting militant groups. (June 24)
    AP, AP

    Source Article from https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2019/06/24/trump-refers-wrong-ayatollah-when-announcing-iran-sanctions/1551002001/

    Our Top Editor Revisits How We Handled E. Jean Carroll’s Allegations Against Trump – The New York Times
    Our Top Editor Revisits How We Handled E. Jean Carroll’s Allegations Against Trump – The New York Times

    He pointed out that The Times had written some of the earliest stories about Mr. Trump’s alleged abuse of women, and that its coverage of Harvey Weinstein helped spark the #MeToo movement, but in this case, he said, “We were overly cautious.”

    Since the Carroll story broke, editors have continued to discuss how it was handled, and Mr. Baquet said he had concluded that it should have been presented more prominently, with a headline on The Times’s home page.

    In The Times’s reporting on the Weinstein and O’Reilly cases, editors developed an informal set of guidelines for when The Times would publish such allegations. Those guidelines include locating sources outside those mentioned by the accusers who not only corroborate the allegations but also are willing to go on the record.

    But the Carroll story, Mr. Baquet said, was different because the allegations were already receiving broad attention, with New York Magazine publishing an excerpt from Ms. Carroll’s book detailing the incident. “We were playing by rules that didn’t quite apply,” Mr. Baquet said. “They’ve allowed us to break major stories, from Bill O’Reilly to Harvey Weinstein. But in this case, it was a different kind of story.”

    In the case of Ms. Carroll’s allegations, which she revealed in her forthcoming memoir, “What Do We Need Men For?,” The Times did not find independent sources — people beyond the two friends Ms. Carroll cited in her book — who could verify her account at the time of the article’s publication, or any other additional corroboration.
