| Lawmakers Brace for Potential Coronavirus Cases on Capitol Hill Posted: 05 Mar 2020 12:09 PM PST  (Bloomberg) -- Members of Congress are bracing for the potential spread of the coronavirus on Capitol Hill, with some acknowledging an outbreak is only a "matter of time" even as they urge their constituents and fellow lawmakers to remain calm."I assume that we're going to have infections on Capitol Hill," said Senator Marco Rubio, a Republican from Florida. "I don't think there's any way to avoid that, to be frank.""We have visitors coming here from all over the world and all over the country, all of us travel, our staffs travel," Rubio said. "There's a lot of close contact, people in and out all the time. It's just a matter of time before we have a case confirmed on Capitol Hill or we can confirm that someone who's been on Capitol Hill has it."Rubio said his main concern is about the operations and continuity of government, noting that more than half of the Senate needs to be present for a quorum.Protecting lawmakers from the coronavirus is especially important since many of them are old enough to be at higher risk than the general population. The average age in the Senate is 62.9 years, while the average age in the House is 57.6 years, according to the Congressional Research Service. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is 78. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi will turn 80 this month.Pelosi told reporters Thursday that there's currently no plan to change Congress's schedule due to the outbreak, although member offices and Capitol facilities are reviewing plans for working remotely. The House and Senate have a previously scheduled recess the week of March 16.'Stopping the Spread'Pelosi said she doesn't see a need to change overall operations at the Capitol and said members have been developing "good habits" like hand washing to try to prevent the spread of disease."We have simply no idea of how much this may spread," she told reporters. "Our focus has to be stopping the spread."Representative Matt Gaetz, a Florida Republican and close confidant of President Donald Trump, wore a gas mask on the House floor Wednesday to vote for an emergency spending package funding the U.S. response to the virus. He defended himself against criticism for wearing the mask by characterizing lawmakers as "human petri dishes."Gaetz told TMZ, "We fly through the dirtiest airports, we touch everyone we meet, so if anyone's gonna get coronavirus, it's totally gonna be Congress."Gaetz was one of the lawmakers who spoke last week at the annual conference of AIPAC, a pro-Israel lobbying group. The organization said in a Wednesday statement that some people attending from New York were "potentially in contact prior to the conference with an individual who contracted coronavirus."According to the statement, no one at the conference has tested positive, but the group urged participants to follow guidelines from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention. The statement is addressed to, among others, "Hill offices."\--With assistance from Erik Wasson.To contact the reporter on this story: Daniel Flatley in Washington at dflatley1@bloomberg.netTo contact the editors responsible for this story: Joe Sobczyk at jsobczyk@bloomberg.net, Anna Edgerton, Laurie AsséoFor more articles like this, please visit us at bloomberg.comSubscribe now to stay ahead with the most trusted business news source.©2020 Bloomberg L.P.

| Hillary Clinton Gets Tipsy and Throws Shade at Bernie and Trump on ‘Watch What Happens Live’ Posted: 05 Mar 2020 09:47 PM PST  "Can I call you Hillary?"Hillary Clinton's appearance on Bravo's Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen was never going to be the typical interview with the former secretary of state and presidential candidate, what with the talk show's penchant for getting guests liquored up and loose enough to swan-dive into rumor pools they ordinarily would never even dip a toe into. It was never not going to be the hardest-hitting, news-making sit-down with Clinton, who was promoting Hulu's documentary series Hillary, which chronicles her life and 2016 presidential campaign and launches Friday. But that was precisely what made the appearance such a delight. It's not every day you see Hillary Clinton take a shot with a Real Housewife and kiki with some drag queens in the Bravo Clubhouse. The interview was taped Wednesday, which means Clinton wasn't asked to weigh in on the biggest news on the minds of many viewers by the time it aired Thursday night: Elizabeth Warren's announcement that she was suspending her own presidential campaign, leaving it statistically near-impossible for a woman to swing open the door she cracked open in 2016. (But you do you, Tulsi.)But Cohen has always had a talent for making his guests comfortable enough to use his show as a pitching mound to throw shade—this is the show, remember, that birthed Mariah Carey's "I don't know her" dig at J. Lo—and Clinton seemed happy to take aim at a few choice batters.Asked what she really thinks of Melania Trump's "Be Best" anti-bullying campaign, Clinton quipped, "I think she should look closer to home." And she divulged that, while she's spoken with varying degrees of regularity to most of the Democratic candidates throughout primary season, "I've not been in touch with a few of them, most notably Bernie Sanders." Had Sanders reached out to her, she clarifies, she would have gladly spoken to him. Still, the comment echoes a saltiness that's already generated plenty of headlines, when it was revealed that, in one episode of Hillary, she slams Sanders pretty harshly."Honestly, Bernie drove me crazy," she says. "He was in the Senate for years. Years! He had one senator support him. Nobody likes him. Nobody wants to work with him. He got nothing done. He was a career politician. He did not work until he was like 41, and then he got elected to something. It was all just baloney, and I feel so bad that people got sucked into it." Asked about the comment afterwards, she's stood by it. It's clear that Clinton knew what kind of party she was being invited to when she showed up on Cohen's show, and she seemed totally game to engage in all of its demented joy. The episode opened with Cohen tossing off a series of HRC-themed puns, soundtracked by Clinton's clearly amused laughter off-camera: "Let's make like a glass ceiling and get smashed." "I'm with her, literally." And, in reference to the show's drinking game, an encouragement for audience members to "drink until all Hill breaks loose." We Need to Talk About Hillary Clinton's Disturbing Harvey Weinstein TiesHillary Clinton Slams Bernie and Dismisses Email Scandal in New Doc: 'All These Things About Us Get Disproved'Cohen asked Clinton what was going through her mind during iconic photos throughout her political history. About being at Trump's inauguration, she says she was thinking, "This is even worse than I thought." About the presidential debate in which he notoriously stalked behind her while she spoke, she remembers thinking, "This guy really has problems." And as for the famous photo of her looking exasperated during the 11-hour Benghazi Senate hearing, she captions it, "I cannot believe these idiots."I don't know if this is the first time the meme of Clinton cringe-inducingly shimmying with excitement during one of the 2016 debates was brought up in her presence, but it was definitely the first time it was used as the theme for a Never Have I Ever-inspired parlor game in which she would recreate the shimmy every time she's done the thing Cohen prompts her with. The revelations were nothing particularly scandalous, but they were pretty fun. She's forgotten the name of a world leader she's meeting before. She's taken a roadie with her in a motorcade. She's gotten tipsy with Obama. She's gone skinny-dipping, but not in the White House pool. She's been to a gay bar. It was all very cute!She followed tradition and delivered what she said would be her Real Housewives tagline, hilariously turning her back to the camera so she could dramatically whip herself around to deliver it: "I'm neither as good or as bad as people say." (This is what she also reveals in Hillary as what she wants etched on her gravestone.)There's a bit of news in her earnest defense of Nancy Pelosi's controversial State of the Union gesture, tearing up the text of Trump's speech after he finished. "I thought she was making a very strong point in demonstrating that so much of what he said was untethered from reality and just plain factually wrong," she said. "Sometimes it's the only way to get attention because otherwise his speech, which was filled with so many errors, would have been taken at face value. Because she visibly did that, which then went viral across the internet, people said, wait a minute, maybe we better take another look. I thought it was an interesting and effective gesture." Even when she was deflecting the few more uncomfortable questions, she was quippy and fun. "I'm the last person to comment on anybody's relationship," she responded to a question about Melania repeated swatting Trump's hand. The entire thing ended in a drag pageant, with RuPaul's Drag Race alumni Trinity the Tuck, Peppermint, and Alaska modeling looks inspired by Clinton's college days, time as first lady, and modern style, respectively. The plastered politician's smile immediately elasticized, nearly spreading off Clinton's face as she cackled breathlessly at the whole ordeal. She seemed to be having the time of her life. The entire thing was a blast. Sometimes it's just fun to see a world leader be allowed to enjoy herself with such abandon, freed of shackles of political propriety. More, in the wake of the Warren news Thursday, it was a much-needed elixir for many crestfallen Bravo viewers. As one tweeted me during the show, "It could not have been better timed for this thoroughly disappointed woman tonight."There is a necessity for Clinton to engage in the heavy news of the current election cycle, and there has been and will be ample opportunity for that. But sometimes it's just nice to have a little fun. Preferably in the presence of some drag queens.

| 'Despicable' - Women seethe over Mexican leader's wobbly response to violence Posted: 06 Mar 2020 02:39 PM PST  Mexico's president sells himself as lifelong champion of the rights of women, who he calls "more honest" than men. Support for an unprecedented women's "strike" on Monday has swelled, even as Lopez Obrador has tried to paint the event as a cynical attempt by political opponents to discredit him and capitalize on problems he says they created. Such comments strike many as tone-deaf and lacking empathy, exposing a weak spot for a government already battling to tackle gang violence, impunity and a stagnant economy.

| Mitt Romney might thwart a Senate investigation of Hunter Biden Posted: 05 Mar 2020 10:37 PM PST  After former Vice President Joe Biden revived his Democratic presidential candidacy with a win in South Carolina, Senate Republicans suddenly started making noise about an investigation into Biden's son Hunter and his work for Ukrainian gas company Burisma. Before Biden won 10 of 14 states on Super Tuesday, Homeland Security Committee Chairman Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) said he might try to subpoena documents on Hunter Biden's Burisma work, and he's now set a committee vote on the motion for next Wednesday.Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) could derail the subpoena. And he suggested Thursday that he's seriously considering it. "I would prefer that investigations are done by an independent, nonpolitical body," he told The Washington Post. "There's no question the appearance is not good." Romney added that "looking into Burisma and Hunter Biden appears political," and "I think people are tired of these kind of political investigations."> Romney indicated to me today that he is still weighing whether to vote for a subpoena in Burisma probe. (He could kill the effort if he votes 'no' on Wednesday.) "There's no question the appearance of looking into Burisma and Hunter Biden appears political," he said pic.twitter.com/YfeKYGM9v6> > — Manu Raju (@mkraju) March 5, 2020The Homeland Security Committee has eight Republicans and six Democrats, and if Romney sides with the Democrats and causes a 7-7 split, the subpoena motion fails.Joe Biden was the Obama administration's point person on Ukraine corruption when Burisma hired Hunter Biden, and Republicans are search for evidence that there was something corrupt in this arrangement, not just unseemly — like, say, overcharging the Secret Service to stay at your president-father's property, or profiting off a rule you pushed while working at your father-in-law's White House.Romney is already a pariah in some Republican circles because he voted to convict Trump on one impeachment count — abuse of power for trying to get Ukraine to announce an investigation into Joe and Hunter Biden — and in his speech explaining that vote, Romney made clear he thinks Hunter Biden "taking excessive advantage of his father's name is unsavory but also not a crime," adding: "There is no question in my mind that were their names not Biden, the president would never have done what he did." Trump has made clear he plans to make Burisma a campaign issue.More stories from theweek.com China's coronavirus recovery is 'all fake,' whistleblowers and residents claim South by Southwest canceled amid coronavirus concerns Bond yields, oil prices, and stocks all fall after a tumultuous week

| Asian-Americans Terrified of Coronavirus Backlash Stock Up on Guns Posted: 06 Mar 2020 08:18 AM PST  This story was published in partnership with The Trace, a nonprofit newsroom covering guns in America.As the number of confirmed 2019 novel coronavirus cases continues to multiply, many Americans are emptying store shelves of hand sanitizer, bleach, and canned goods. But there's an acute fear among Asian Americans that the virus' origins in China will spark a violent xenophobic backlash. Along the West Coast, where the worst outbreaks of the coronavirus in the U.S. have occurred, those fears seem to be spurring a surge in gun sales. "People are panicking because they don't feel secure," said David Liu, who is Chinese American and owns Arcadia Firearm and Safety, which is just east of Los Angeles. "They worry about a riot or maybe that people will start to target the Chinese."Liu said his store had seen a fivefold increase in sales over the past two weeks. He's sold out of Glock handguns, and some customers have requested to buy his entire inventory of ammunition branded for home defense. "They think it's Costco," he said. Coronavirus Is Scary Enough for Some People to Risk DeportationAccording to Liu, the surge customers are overwhelmingly of Chinese descent. They worry, he explained, that in the event of mass panic, they might face violence because of their ethnicity and be easy victims because of their historically low rates of gun ownership. Surveys of gun ownership don't usually track Asian Americans separately, but instead include them in an "other" category that is typically very small. As The Los Angeles Times has reported, since the first novel coronavirus outbreaks in the United States, Asian Americans have experienced intensifying venom, including bullying, racist comments, and harassment. On February 24, a man of East Asian descent was assaulted in central London. One of the assailants reportedly said, "I don't want your coronavirus in my country.""The main thing I'm hearing is that they don't wanna get jumped because of their race," said Cole Gaughran, the internet sales manager at Wade's Eastside Guns in Bellevue, Washington. Gaughran said his store has seen a sixfold increase in sales in the same two weeks. His new customers, most of them first-time gun owners, were almost entirely of Asian descent, he said. Bellevue is just a 15 minute drive from Kirkland, where at least 11 people have died from the virus. There's no way to get an accurate accounting for how many people buy guns on a weekly basis, or in real time. However, in Washington, local police departments do process background checks for most first-time gun buyers. In Bellevue, police say they've registered the spike in demand. Meeghan Black, the police department's public information officer, said that since August of last year, the department has processed a steady average of around 158 checks per month. But in the first four days of March, they handled more than a hundred. "The officer who processes these checks said he's been processing the last ten years, and has never seen anything like this in his life," she added.A stack of firearm transfers slated for processing from this past weekend's sales. Black said the department normally sees about six of these every weekend.In nearby Lynnwood, Washington, the local police department saw no such increase in firearm sales. But at least one local gun shop did. Tiffany Teasdale, the co-owner of Lynnwood Gun & Ammunition, said she, too, has seen a sixfold increase in sales over the past two weeks, predominantly from Chinese-American customers. "We've had a line of customers before opening Thursday through Sunday, and customers in the store until 10 to 15 minutes after closing." she said. "We used to sell from 10 to 15 firearms in a weekend. [We sold] 60 firearms just [last] Saturday."Teasdale said that nearby stores had seen increases as well, and her distributors had run out of 9mm ammunition. "It's been happening for the last four or five days," Teasdale said." A lot of our distributors nationally are saying that all of their warehouses are empty. None of them know why."So far, police departments and civil rights groups in cities experiencing increased gun sales had received no reports of violent attacks against Asians. The Bellevue Police Department said they hadn't received a single complaint since the first U.S. case of coronavirus made headlines.Robin Engle, a spokesperson for OneAmerica—a Seattle-based nonprofit focused on immigrant rights—said that while the organization was aware of people avoiding Asian restaurants, it had not heard about any hate crimes in the Seattle area. When told about the reports from gun-store owners, she said, "It is alarming that people are afraid that that can happen to the point that they're going out and buying guns."Read more at The Daily Beast.Got a tip?

| Federal judge questions Barr's 'credibility,' requests unredacted Mueller Report Posted: 05 Mar 2020 03:52 PM PST  A federal judge on Thursday ruled that the Department of Justice has until March 30 to turn over to him an unredacted copy of former Special Counsel Robert Mueller's report on Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election.Judge Reggie B. Walton wrote that Attorney General William Barr made "distorted" and "misleading" public comments about the report before giving it to Congress. The "inconsistencies" between Barr's statements and what appeared in the redacted version of the Mueller Report made public led the court to "seriously question whether Attorney General Barr made a calculated attempt to influence public discourse about the Mueller Report" to help President Trump, and Barr's actions and "lack of candor" call into question his "credibility."Walton's ruling came in a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit filed by BuzzFeed News. The media outlet is asking for an unredacted copy of the full report, and Walton said it would be "disingenuous for the court to conclude that the redactions of the Mueller Report pursuant to the FOIA are not tainted by Attorney General Barr's actions and representations."More stories from theweek.com China's coronavirus recovery is 'all fake,' whistleblowers and residents claim South by Southwest canceled amid coronavirus concerns Bond yields, oil prices, and stocks all fall after a tumultuous week
