Trump promise to deny New York, Seattle and Portland federal funds is an empty threat, expert saysThe Department of Justice on Monday designated New York City, Seattle and Portland, Ore., as jurisdictions that permit "anarchy, violence and destruction," a distinction that the Trump administration hopes to use to strip those cities of federal funding.


SCOTUS Battle Pours Lighter Fluid on South Carolina’s Senate Race

Posted: 22 Sep 2020 01:36 AM PDT

SCOTUS Battle Pours Lighter Fluid on South Carolina's Senate RaceMost everyone following the heated U.S. Senate contest in South Carolina recognizes that the opening of a U.S. Supreme Court seat—six weeks before Election Day—has shifted the balance of the race.Which candidate will ultimately benefit, though, depends on who you ask.Sen. Lindsey Graham was already facing a determined challenge from Democrat Jaime Harrison before Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's death last Friday. Less than a day later, Graham officially discarded his stance from 2016 that high court appointments shouldn't be made in an election year—and fully embraced his role as President Donald Trump's warrior in securing a third Supreme Court justice.The dramatic turn of events has already drawn passionate reactions on both sides of the aisle as the South Carolina race, once in the long shot column for Democrats, enters a critical stretch.Top officials from both parties in South Carolina were quick to believe Graham's approach was actually helping their respective candidate's chances in November, as control of the Senate lies in the balance."This issue is going to be nothing but a plus for (Graham's) campaign," South Carolina Republican Party Chairman Drew McKissick said."Sen. Graham is basically digging his own grave by siding with Trump on every single issue" said Kenneth Glover, the chairman of the Orangeburg County Democratic Party. "He's lost his independence."Some Democrats see two big opportunities with Graham's high court machinations under the microscope. One is a chance to galvanize South Carolina's Black voters—who Harrison will need to turn out in historic numbers to secure a win—with a laser-like framing of the stakes of the race on core issues like health care, voting rights, and racial justice, all issues in which the court has disproportionate impact.And the party also sees opportunity in replaying Graham's words from 2016—when he defended blocking Barack Obama's pick for the high court until the November election—over and over again on the TV airwaves with the tens of millions of dollars Harrison has raised so far. Even more money is likely to flow to Harrison from a national liberal base outraged by Graham's moves.While the senator has explained away his 2016 declarations, some Democrats believe that the hypocrisy of Graham's statements will be clear enough to peel away a number of independent or even GOP-leaning voters.Whether that sentiment is strong enough to help tilt a Senate seat in a more conservative state to the Democratic column, though, remains unclear—and Democratic party officials recognize the challenge."That's my impression, that this is the nail in Lindsey Graham's coffin and if we ever had a chance to flip this is it, this has done it," said Debbie Smith, the chair of the Georgetown County Democratic Party, said about the state of the Senate race. "I've been wrong before."But other Democrats watching the race agree that while a court fight doesn't entirely favor Graham, it still gives the incumbent an undeniable advantage in South Carolina, where Democratic candidates have long struggled to crack 45 percent of the vote statewide. "Lindsey Graham brings out every one of Donald Trump's supporters and he wins," said a Democratic operative. "If this does that, it's not a net gain for Jaime… Graham doesn't have to appeal to any Democrats."The Harrison campaign declined to comment on how Graham's stance on the open Supreme Court seat was impacting the race. The Graham campaign did not respond to an email seeking comment Monday night.As chairman of the Judiciary Committee, Graham will run any confirmation hearing for a Trump pick. If that hearing happens before the election, or in the so-called "lame duck" session in the weeks after the Nov. 3 election, it ensures Graham's place in the center of the wall-to-wall media coverage that accompanies a high court confirmation battle.It also guarantees fresh relevance for his past statements and moves on judicial appointments. Only hours after Ginsburg's death was announced, clips began to circulate on social media showing Graham defending Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's (R-KY) decision to block Obama's nomination of Merrick Garland to the high court following Justice Antonin Scalia's death in 2016. Back then, said the GOP, the voters needed to decide in November who would get to confirm his replacement."I want you to use my words against me," Graham said at the time. "If there's a Republican president in 2016 and a vacancy occurs in the last year of the first term, you can say Lindsey Graham said 'Let's let the next president, whoever it might be, make that nomination.'"Graham has, of course, backtracked on that position, leaning on two main reasons: one, he and fellow Republicans argue, the GOP now controls the Senate and the White House, so there's no ambiguity as to what voters want. "No Senate has confirmed an opposite party president's Supreme Court nominee during an election year," Graham wrote in a Monday letter to Judiciary Committee members. With Trump's win in 2016 and the GOP's hold of the Senate in 2018, Graham said "we should honor that mandate."The second reason is what Graham described as Democrats' alleged misconduct during the Brett Kavanaugh confirmation process in 2018—"the destruction of this fine man," he tweeted—amounted to a final straw for decorum on judicial matters, making total war acceptable. Those hearings, in the eyes of many Republicans, were central to Graham's rehabilitation among Trump's supporters, and Graham has raised them repeatedly in recent days.Lindsey Graham Backflips on SCOTUS Vow: I Support 'Any Effort to Move Forward'"After the treatment of Justice Kavanaugh I now have a different view of the judicial-confirmation process," Graham said in his Monday letter. "It's clear there are one set of rules for a Republican president and one set of rules for a Democrat president."In South Carolina, Republicans see the confirmation fight as an invaluable boost for Graham—not that he desperately needed one, they're quick to say—that shores up his biggest weakness at a pivotal moment in the 2020 campaign."It's a godsend for Sen. Graham," said Nate Leupp, chairman of the GOP in Greenville County, traditionally the Palmetto State's greatest bastion of Republican votes. Graham-backers like Leupp have long been most concerned about the senator losing votes among a hardcore Trump-supporting base that has never fully come around to trusting him."This goes right to the base of supporting Trump and promoting a conservative justice," said Leupp. "The only thing Sen. Graham had to shore up are people who voted against him in the Republican primary… This probably is what solidifies their vote for him."Some Democrats in the state were quick to point out that while Graham had been able to win some goodwill from Democrats in the past, Trump's election and the senator's support of the president has given them an opportunity to capitalize. But even amongst Democrats in the state there were differing opinions about whether Graham's new Supreme Court stance merely further drives the Democratic base in the state or if it will broaden chances at moderate defections from Graham to Harrison.Local Democratic leaders like Dorchester County Democratic party chairman Tim Lewis are hopeful that Graham's backtracking will hurt the Republican's appeal with "middle of the road" voters."These are good people and they see the hypocrisy," Lewis said.Even before the Supreme Court vacancy fight, it was clear the Graham-Harrison showdown was increasingly prominent on the national Senate map, where Democrats are aiming to flip several GOP-held seats to attain a majority. While key races in battleground states like North Carolina and Arizona have gotten plenty of attention so far this cycle, Harrison has continued to build a determined effort to unseat the incumbent as the race entered the final 50-day stretch to election day. Aside from Amy McGrath, the Democrat challenging McConnell in Kentucky, no other Democratic Senate candidate has raked in more than Harrison, who's reported raising roughly $30 million—a staggering sum for this relatively small state.That, say Democrats, has fueled Harrison's rise. A Quinnipiac University poll released last Wednesday showed Graham tied with Harrison, each with 48 percent of the vote.But Harrison's team had also found themselves on the defensive recently after The Washington Free Beacon reported on a pair of Harrison's key staffers' offensive past social media history, which included one of them using a derogatory and homophobic term. The staffers are not leaving the campaign but both apologized and Harrison has denounced the tweets, The Post and Courier reported last week.Yet the death of the beloved liberal icon and the promise of a SCOTUS battle has ratcheted up the emotion in the race even further.Deborah Rodriguez, chair of the Colleton County Democratic Party, said she thinks it will "matter to people who maybe are on the fence," as she pointed to it creating trust issues with the senator."I think it just cements anybody who was already going to vote Republican and I think for people who are on the fence or maybe independent, I think this is going to be something that will help them, move them over to Jaime Harrison," Rodriguez said.Still, some others like Terri Jowers, executive committeewoman for the Barnwell County Democratic Party, were less optimistic about the impact even as she feels good about Harrison's chances at an upset. But that didn't mean she was giving up on raising the issue."This doesn't surprise me at all. Does it make me nauseated? Yes it does," Jowers said. "It makes me absolutely heart-sick. But I just don't think that the average voter understands how absolutely critical this moment is and why this is so important. I wish they did. And I'm going to be doing everything I can to help people understand how impactful this moment is and how disingenuous it is of (Graham)to be flipflopping on this."Read more at The Daily Beast.Get our top stories in your inbox every day.

At UN, Trump raps China for virus as US deaths top 200,000President Donald Trump urged world leaders to hold China accountable for the spread of the coronavirus, in a video address to a scaled-down U.N. General Assembly on Tuesday as America's death toll topped 200,000. Beyond criticizing China, Trump took aim at the very foundation of the United Nations by urging other leaders to put their own countries first, a message that echoed his "America First" campaign mantra. "Only when you take care of your own citizens, will you find a true basis for cooperation," Trump said.

U.S. to put convicted killer to death as spate of federal executions continuesThe Department of Justice says it will put LeCroy, 50, to death using lethal injections of pentobarbital, a barbiturate, at its execution chamber in Terre Haute, Indiana. The execution had been scheduled for 6 p.m. EDT (2200 GMT), but was delayed as the U.S. Supreme Court weighed a petition from LeCroy to stay his execution until his lead lawyer, who has a chronic illness, could travel safely to Terre Haute without fear of getting COVID-19.


Ilhan Omar says no Republicans have even privately condemned death threats against her

Ilhan Omar says no Republicans have even privately condemned death threats against herRep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), one of the first Muslim women elected to Congress, has faced constant threats of violence since her election in 2018. They include public threats from Republicans set to join her in the House in January — and absolutely no condemnation from congressmembers on the other side of the aisle, she tells the The New York Times Magazine.In an interview with the Times, Omar discussed "hateful" attacks against her from Fox News' Tucker Carlson, as well as the rise of Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Republican House candidate in a far-right Georgia district who held a gun next to a photo of Omar's "Squad" in a campaign video. Greene's video is just one of many "dangerous" people spouting "bizarre, ill-informed conspiracies" about Omar and other Democrats and "terrorizing so many of us," Omar said.But despite receiving "a few death threats that have been very publicized where people have been arrested and are incarcerated for it," Omar said she has received no support or condemnation from Republicans. "I can't remember a public statement or private comment of support," she continued.> Interesting juxtaposition here between Biden-esque cries that there are good and decent Republicans who are simply too scared to speak out publicly against Trump and the reality that Ilhan Omar describes. pic.twitter.com/hxAjTS6XSV> > — Eoin Higgins (@EoinHiggins_) September 21, 2020Despite being "discouraged" by this lack of unity "sometimes," Omar said she has "hope" that "the lived reality of what exists in American cities and towns" isn't the same as what's online.

Lost whale swims free from crocodile-infested river in Australia

Posted: 20 Sep 2020 06:13 PM PDT

Lost whale swims free from crocodile-infested river in AustraliaA humpback whale has found its way back to sea weeks after it got lost in a murky, crocodile-infested river in northern Australia. There have been no previous recorded sightings of whales in remote East Alligator River in the Northern Territory's World Heritage-listed Kakadu National Park, and no one can explain why at least three of the blue water mammals ventured so deep inland in a river with little visibility. The last of the trio managed to navigate its way through shallow channels at the broad river mouth and back into Van Diemen Gulf over the weekend, Kakadu National Park manager Feach Moyle said. "It made its way out on the high tides and we're pleased it appeared to be in good condition and not suffering any ill effects," Moyle said in a statement. Humpbacks follow the western Australian coast in their annual migration from the tropics to Antarctica. A group of recreational sailors first spotted the lost trio on Sept. 2 more than 20 kilometers (12 miles) from the river mouth. Two of the whales had disappeared before wildlife authorities arrived a week later. Northern Territory government whale and dolphin scientist Carol Palmer said it was a mystery why a whale would stray so far up a shallow river full of crocodiles. "It could have been chased up by some big sharks or maybe it was just a wrong turn," Palmer said. Despite the river's name, there are no alligators in Australia. It was named after the river's many crocodiles by European explorers who apparently couldn't tell the difference. Authorities thought the whale was too big to be attacked by crocodiles, unless it became weak or sick.

Angered by Arab-Israel ties, Palestine quits chairing Arab League sessions

Angered by Arab-Israel ties, Palestine quits chairing Arab League sessionsRAMALLAH, West Bank/GAZA (Reuters) - Palestine has quit its current chairmanship of Arab League meetings, the Palestinian foreign minister said on Tuesday, condemning as dishonourable any Arab agreement to establish formal relations with Israel. Palestinians see the accords that the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain signed with Israel in Washington a week ago as a betrayal of their cause and a blow to their quest for an independent state in Israeli-occupied territory. Earlier this month, the Palestinians failed to persuade the Arab League to condemn member nations breaking ranks and normalising ties with Israel.

The drills were timed to coincide with the visit to Taiwan by a high-ranking U.S. envoy for talks and to attend a memorial service for former Taiwanese President Lee Teng-hui, who led the island's transition to full democracy in the face of Chinese threats.

Mueller didn't investigate Trump's finances or question Ivanka Trump due to blowback fears, prosecutor recounts

Posted: 22 Sep 2020 04:08 AM PDT

Mueller didn't investigate Trump's finances or question Ivanka Trump due to blowback fears, prosecutor recountsSpecial Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation of Russian election interference and President Trump's 2016 campaign treated Trump's family and personal finances with kid gloves, mostly out of concern that Trump would shut down the investigation, former federal prosecutor Andrew Weissmann writes in a new book, Where Law Ends.At one critical juncture in 2017, the Mueller team issued a subpoena to Deutsch Bank for records about Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort's Ukraine income, and even though the subpoenas were secret, the White House found out and demanded to know if Mueller was seeking financial information on Trump, Weissmann recounts, according to The New York Times.Mueller authorized his cautious deputy, Aaron Zebley, to assure the White House they had not subpoenaed Trump's financial records, and "at that point, any financial investigation of Trump was put on hold," Weissmann writes. "That is, we backed down — the issue was simply too incendiary; the risk, too severe." He points to other dropped leads, like "payments linked to a Russian oligarch" turning up in the same account from which Trump paid two purported paramours, and Trump's active efforts to build a Trump Tower in Moscow.Weissmann also reveals that even though Ivanka Trump spoke with a Russian delegation that met in Trump Tower with Donald Trump Jr. and other campaign officials about handing over Russian dirt on Hillary Clinton, Mueller's investigators did not try to question her because they "feared that hauling her in for an interview would play badly to the already antagonistic right-wing press — look how they're roughing up the president's daughter — and risk enraging Trump."Those fears might have been justified early on in the investigation, before they got up and running, Weissmann told the Times, but he and other team leaders believed they should have gotten more aggressive later on. "We would have subpoenaed the president after he refused our accommodations, even if that risked us being fired," he wrote. "It just didn't sit right. We were left feeling like we had let down the American public, who were counting on us to give it our all."More stories from theweek.com Democrats have a better option than court packing Republican advocates are concerned the party could cost them 'ticket splitters' with Supreme Court vote Trump supporters boo Ohio's GOP lieutenant governor for encouraging mask use
