The judge reasoned that the two dozen incidents occurred over a 10-day period — too brief a period of time to qualify as \"pervasive.\" But in other cases where incidents occurred over longer periods, Sperino says judges often say the infractions were too sporadic to be pervasive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another Supreme Court case, in 2007, raised the bar still farther, says Laura Beth Nielsen, a research professor at the American Bar Foundation and at Northwestern University.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"yn4FGE86rddFJdCUPjv6hGFSd57a1B2x\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What you have to prove is that somebody is acting with intention, so that's a much higher standard,\" which leads to more pretrial dismissals, she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There is no central database tracking employment discrimination cases, but Nielsen's random sampling showed half of cases settled out of court and another 37 percent were dismissed pretrial. She says those included \"ones where people would go, 'Oh my God, you get to grope five times and it's still not sexual harassment?' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some judges downgrade an offense if the groping didn't result in direct skin contact.

Not surprisingly, it's Democrats who are less likely to want to engage with people who have different views of the president.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About two-thirds of Democrats said it's stressful and frustrating to do so, while a majority of Republicans said it was \"interesting and informative.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A slight plurality — 47 percent — of independents also thought engaging with differing viewpoints was positive, while 44 percent found it to be a negative thing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Political civility drops nationally, but not as much locally \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lack of civility that many anticipate will put a damper on their holiday season is emblematic of the broader political discourse across the country. Sixty-seven percent of adults said the tone and level of civility in Washington have gotten worse since Trump was elected a year ago. (Just 23 percent said it has stayed the same, with only 6 percent saying it has improved.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats, again, think the tone in D.C. has gotten worse by a higher margin — 79 percent think so with just 13 percent saying it has stayed the same and 5 percent saying it has improved.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sixty percent of Republicans agree the level of civility has dropped, while 31 percent said it has stayed the same, and 7 percent say it has gotten better. Just over two-thirds of independents said it has gotten worse, about a quarter said it has stayed the same and 7 percent said it has gotten worse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Americans are more optimistic about the level of discourse in their communities, however. Just over half of those surveyed said the tone and civility had stayed the same locally since Trump was elected, while 32 percent said it had gotten worse. Only 12 percent said it had gotten better.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And once again, it is Democrats taking the most dour view — 47 percent said things have stayed the same; 46 percent said they think it has gotten worse; and only 4 percent said the tone of discourse in their own communities has gotten better.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Compare that with 58 percent of Republicans and 47 percent of independents, who thought things locally have gotten better. Twenty-seven percent of GOP voters said the discourse in their community has improved, while just 9 percent of independents thought so.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, 30 percent of independents said things have gotten worse locally, and only 12 percent of Republicans thought so.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Overall, half of Americans still said they think the political discourse in the country is negative, while 36 percent classified it as angry.

Just 29 percent thought the party had stayed within acceptable bounds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The numbers are almost identical for the GOP — with 67 percent saying Republicans crossed a line in attacking Democrats, and just 27 percent said it has been within acceptable boundaries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Trump underwater as public disapproves of how Republicans handle health care, tax overhaul\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump's approval rating remains stagnant and steady at 39 percent. A majority (55 percent) continue to disapprove of the job the president is doing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Marist's past 11 surveys testing the president's approval, he hasn't risen above 39 percent, where it has been five times, and hasn't dipped below 35 percent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There's not the typical pattern of a honeymoon,\" Miringoff said. \"This is just steady. It's his base that approves, and that's it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those numbers could bode well for Democratic hopes in the 2018 midterms, but this poll also shows their advantage on who Americans would rather control Congress narrowing to just 3 points, 43 percent to 40 percent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"d1tqUSnEOhvdhAY7nfsFpNKtTFyyGfVG\"]That's a 12-point shift from just a week earlier, when Marist showed Democrats with a 15-point advantage. It is also a deviation from other recent polls that have given Democrats the wider gap they have needed historically to take back control of the House of Representatives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Miringoff explained that the shift isn't due to Republicans picking up voters, but to independents going from Democrats to undecided — for now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That 15-point edge also came following the big Democratic gains in Virginia, New Jersey and elsewhere, which might have colored respondents' preferences. (It also, however, coincided with the president's trip to Asia, where he was uncharacteristically quiet on Twitter.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the issues, though, almost three-quarters of Americans said they disapprove of how Republicans have handled health care legislation. Some 60 percent want the Affordable Care Act changed to do more (41 percent) or want to let it stand (19 percent), while just 35 percent want it repealed completely (28 percent) or to do less (7 percent).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>How Republicans are performing on the tax overhaul isn't much better in the public's eyes, either. Fifty-seven percent said they don't like how the GOP has handled the possible overhaul, with only 31 percent approving. Additionally, one of Republicans' most-used arguments isn't resonating widely either — when asked if they'd be in favor of receiving a tax cut if it meant increasing the national deficit, two-thirds of Americans said no.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>About 1 in 3 women says she has been subject to office sexual harassment \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The poll also found that just over one-third of women said they have been sexually harassed in their workplace. Overall, 1 in 5 Americans, including men, says he or she has experienced sexual harassment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"EvKtJnNuZHpwdHp1WDMwPfBsLxSBTJq7\"]Older women are more likely to say they have experienced sexual harassment — 32 percent above the age of 45 said they have been victimized during their careers, compared with 18 percent under 45.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The numbers come as many \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2017/11/10/us/men-accused-sexual-misconduct-weinstein.html\">high-profile men\u003c/a>, from Hollywood moguls like \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2017/10/16/558165331/in-the-wake-of-harvey-weinstein-scandal-women-say-metoo\">Harvey Weinstein\u003c/a> to politicians like \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2017/11/20/565350546/sen-al-franken-hit-with-second-groping-allegation\">Sen.

It is also a deviation from other recent polls that have given Democrats the wider gap they have needed historically to take back control of the House of Representatives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Miringoff explained that the shift isn't due to Republicans picking up voters, but to independents going from Democrats to undecided — for now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That 15-point edge also came following the big Democratic gains in Virginia, New Jersey and elsewhere, which might have colored respondents' preferences. (It also, however, coincided with the president's trip to Asia, where he was uncharacteristically quiet on Twitter.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the issues, though, almost three-quarters of Americans said they disapprove of how Republicans have handled health care legislation. Some 60 percent want the Affordable Care Act changed to do more (41 percent) or want to let it stand (19 percent), while just 35 percent want it repealed completely (28 percent) or to do less (7 percent).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>How Republicans are performing on the tax overhaul isn't much better in the public's eyes, either. Fifty-seven percent said they don't like how the GOP has handled the possible overhaul, with only 31 percent approving. Additionally, one of Republicans' most-used arguments isn't resonating widely either — when asked if they'd be in favor of receiving a tax cut if it meant increasing the national deficit, two-thirds of Americans said no.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>About 1 in 3 women says she has been subject to office sexual harassment \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The poll also found that just over one-third of women said they have been sexually harassed in their workplace.

Taking a page from Apple and other tech companies in using showmanship to wow crowds, Musk surprised the crowd by announcing there was one more thing to add — and the new car rolled out of the truck's trailer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After touting the utility and efficiency of what he called a game-changing truck, Musk welcomed the Roadster to cheers from those attending the event at the Hawthorne Municipal Airport near Los Angeles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both vehicles are fast: The Roadster can take itself from zero to 60 mph in 1.9 seconds, and the Semi can perform the same feat in five seconds (unburdened by a trailer), Tesla says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Touting the sports car's speed, \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/Tesla/status/931409569640677376\">Tesla tweeted\u003c/a>, \"Going into plaid\" — a reference to a hyperspace joke from the movie \u003cem>Spaceballs\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/Tesla/status/931409569640677376\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From there, the specs diverge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The truck has a 500-mile range on one charge even if it's fully loaded at a gross vehicle weight of 80,000 pounds.

Musk said it will be able to maintain a speed of 65 mph while going up a 5 percent grade.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By contrast, the Roadster will be able to run a quarter-mile in 8.9 seconds. Its top speed is \"above 250 mph,\" Musk said. The Roadster will have a range of 620 miles, he added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Roadster will be available in 2020.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"ZjveRLi8iGxeIVIYBmEHXgXLeNK4YYR8\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Production of the truck is expected to begin in 2019; Musk said customers who order now would get the vehicles in two years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the morning after the unveiling, trucking and freight company J.B.

Reservations for both vehicles can be made with an initial deposit of $5,000 — but in the case of the Roadster, a total of at least $50,000 is due within 10 days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his presentation, Musk said the cost of operating an electric tractor-trailer would be $1.26 per mile, compared with $1.51 per mile in a diesel truck. The figure assumes a diesel price of $2.50 a gallon versus 7 cents/kWh for electricity and a maximum load traveling at an average speed of 60 mph. The company says that will translate into thousands of dollars in savings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"H1l3KoaStg40cVHwGIZcYFnNkTY92L7S\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Electric motors have advantages for hauling: fewer moving parts, cheap fuel and zero tailpipe pollution,\" NPR's Emily Sullivan reports. \"But charging can be a challenge and Tesla big rigs will cost far more than diesel trucks.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In describing the truck, Musk also said its windshield is made of \"thermonuclear explosion-proof glass\" — a feature he says will help truckers stay on the road. Regulations require commercial trucks to be sidelined if their windshields are cracked in a way that could affect the driver's view.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also unique to the Semi is the driver's seating position.

The anemic number fell far short of expectations; the company had received 140,000 advance orders for the car within hours of it being announced in the spring of 2016.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those setbacks didn't do much to dampen the hype surrounding Thursday's unveiling — and it gained more energy as the Roadster, which from 2008 to 2012 was Tesla's star vehicle, returned to the lineup. In what has become something of a pattern in recent years, Musk has unveiled ambitious and even visionary new plans for Tesla, as the company copes with putting those ideas into effect — and cars on the road.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Andrew J.

Reservations for both vehicles can be made with an initial deposit of $5,000 — but in the case of the Roadster, a total of at least $50,000 is due within 10 days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his presentation, Musk said the cost of operating an electric tractor-trailer would be $1.26 per mile, compared with $1.51 per mile in a diesel truck. The figure assumes a diesel price of $2.50 a gallon versus 7 cents/kWh for electricity and a maximum load traveling at an average speed of 60 mph. The company says that will translate into thousands of dollars in savings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Electric motors have advantages for hauling: fewer moving parts, cheap fuel and zero tailpipe pollution,\" NPR's Emily Sullivan reports. \"But charging can be a challenge and Tesla big rigs will cost far more than diesel trucks.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In describing the truck, Musk also said its windshield is made of \"thermonuclear explosion-proof glass\" — a feature he says will help truckers stay on the road. Regulations require commercial trucks to be sidelined if their windshields are cracked in a way that could affect the driver's view.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also unique to the Semi is the driver's seating position.

The anemic number fell far short of expectations; the company had received 140,000 advance orders for the car within hours of it being announced in the spring of 2016.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those setbacks didn't do much to dampen the hype surrounding Thursday's unveiling — and it gained more energy as the Roadster, which from 2008 to 2012 was Tesla's star vehicle, returned to the lineup. In what has become something of a pattern in recent years, Musk has unveiled ambitious and even visionary new plans for Tesla, as the company copes with putting those ideas into effect — and cars on the road.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Andrew J.

"content": "\u003cp>Astronomers in California are building the largest digital camera in the world. It will go on a giant telescope taking shape in Chile called the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.lsst.org/\">LSST\u003c/a> is different from most large telescopes. Instead of staring at a tiny patch of the sky and taking essentially one snapshot in time, LSST will take a panorama of every part of the sky … and it will do so over and over and over. The idea is to see what’s moving or changing in the heavens.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That could be everything from asteroids, to variable stars, to supernovae, to maybe a new phenomenon that we don’t know about yet,” says \u003ca href=\"http://www.slac.stanford.edu/~roodman/\">Aaron Roodman\u003c/a>, a physicist at the \u003ca href=\"https://www6.slac.stanford.edu/about/slac-overview\">SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, \u003c/a>which is operated by Stanford University and located in Menlo Park. Roodman is the scientist in charge of the integration and testing of the camera.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Final assembly will take place at SLAC, and is still two years off. “Right now, every piece of the camera is under construction in various places,” says Roodman. The sensors that will actual capture the light from stars are being assembled at \u003ca href=\"https://www.bnl.gov/world/\">Brookhaven National Laboratory\u003c/a>. \u003ca href=\"https://www.llnl.gov/\">Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory\u003c/a> is shepherding the construction of the optical lenses. A device for putting different color filters in front of the camera lens is coming from France.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://www.npr.org/player/embed/562365248/564752481\" width=\"100%\" height=\"290\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" title=\"NPR embedded audio player\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All these parts will come together in a two-story-tall clean room that was specially built at SLAC for the two-story camera.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Clean-room procedures are pretty common for working with CCD cameras,” says Roodman. “A piece of dust on any of those surfaces, we’ll really notice. It’ll actually have a significant negative effect on the camera.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Roodman offers to take me inside the clean room. You can’t just walk into a clean room. You have to put on gloves, a hat, booties and extremely clean white coveralls. Fully garbed, you look a bit like an Easter Bunny.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”7W36saIgs2w3Mc39wZ2C9FKXdAAsu4WZ”]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once inside, Roodman points to a small box with cables coming out of it sitting on a lab bench. “All by itself this little unit is a 144-megapixel camera,” he says. That’s six times more megapixels than a high-end digital camera. There will be 21 of these boxes in the camera.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now for the camera to work properly, and make sure all the stars it sees are in focus, everything in the camera has to be in \u003cem>exactly\u003c/em> the right place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Roodman says they have to measure things to an accuracy of 2 microns. That’s about a 20th of the thickness of human hair, depending, of course, on how thick your hair is.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not all the preparation and testing of the camera is super high tech.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At another test bench, some graduate students are trying to make sure that the interior of a dark box is completely dark, and they’re having a problem blocking out the glare from some LED lights mounted near the box. Roodman suggests putting some black tape over the lights. Then he laughs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is the beauty of experimental physics,” he says with a chuckle. “On the one hand, I’m interested in studying the makeup of the universe. But for today, we’ve got to make sure that the tape is blocking out all the light from some LEDs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Roodman expects that by 2020 astronomers should be able to start using his camera to study the makeup of the universe — presumably without the need for black tape.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2017 NPR.

It will go on a giant telescope taking shape in Chile called the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.lsst.org/\">LSST\u003c/a> is different from most large telescopes. Instead of staring at a tiny patch of the sky and taking essentially one snapshot in time, LSST will take a panorama of every part of the sky … and it will do so over and over and over. The idea is to see what’s moving or changing in the heavens.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That could be everything from asteroids, to variable stars, to supernovae, to maybe a new phenomenon that we don’t know about yet,” says \u003ca href=\"http://www.slac.stanford.edu/~roodman/\">Aaron Roodman\u003c/a>, a physicist at the \u003ca href=\"https://www6.slac.stanford.edu/about/slac-overview\">SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, \u003c/a>which is operated by Stanford University and located in Menlo Park. Roodman is the scientist in charge of the integration and testing of the camera.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Final assembly will take place at SLAC, and is still two years off. “Right now, every piece of the camera is under construction in various places,” says Roodman. The sensors that will actual capture the light from stars are being assembled at \u003ca href=\"https://www.bnl.gov/world/\">Brookhaven National Laboratory\u003c/a>. \u003ca href=\"https://www.llnl.gov/\">Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory\u003c/a> is shepherding the construction of the optical lenses.

It’ll actually have a significant negative effect on the camera.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Roodman offers to take me inside the clean room. You can’t just walk into a clean room. You have to put on gloves, a hat, booties and extremely clean white coveralls. Fully garbed, you look a bit like an Easter Bunny.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once inside, Roodman points to a small box with cables coming out of it sitting on a lab bench. “All by itself this little unit is a 144-megapixel camera,” he says. That’s six times more megapixels than a high-end digital camera. There will be 21 of these boxes in the camera.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now for the camera to work properly, and make sure all the stars it sees are in focus, everything in the camera has to be in \u003cem>exactly\u003c/em> the right place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Roodman says they have to measure things to an accuracy of 2 microns. That’s about a 20th of the thickness of human hair, depending, of course, on how thick your hair is.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not all the preparation and testing of the camera is super high tech.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At another test bench, some graduate students are trying to make sure that the interior of a dark box is completely dark, and they’re having a problem blocking out the glare from some LED lights mounted near the box. Roodman suggests putting some black tape over the lights. Then he laughs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is the beauty of experimental physics,” he says with a chuckle. “On the one hand, I’m interested in studying the makeup of the universe. But for today, we’ve got to make sure that the tape is blocking out all the light from some LEDs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Roodman expects that by 2020 astronomers should be able to start using his camera to study the makeup of the universe — presumably without the need for black tape.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2017 NPR.

Just like Trump, Cohen likes to tweet. He saw an opportunity to express himself to the president by tweeting to the account \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/realdonaldtrump\">@realDonaldTrump\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I noticed right away that his Twitter feed was a place that people congregated and exchanged views,\" he says. \"So that was the place to go to express myself.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe src=\"https://www.npr.org/player/embed/562619874/562619875\" width=\"100%\" height=\"290\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" title=\"NPR embedded audio player\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cohen has a \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/familyunequal\">verified account\u003c/a> on Twitter — that's when you have a following and they confirm you are who you say you are. That means his tweets got to the top of the president's feed. Cohen set up an alert so that he could know when Trump tweeted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If I replied right away, I could get lucky and have a lot of people read my tweets,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But then, one day the president blocked him. Cohen was surprised. He says he wasn't trolling the president.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I was basically civil,\" he says. \"I didn't use a lot of profanity. I didn't harass people individually. I mostly made graphical memes with slogans on them like 'corrupt,' 'incompetent,' and 'authoritarian.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cohen says that once he was blocked, his tweets about the president reached fewer people. So he believes the blocking is censoring his ability to criticize the government.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"Soe6aHxo0WQfSKh4czKkZtb4byshYd0D\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cohen is now one of the plaintiffs in a groundbreaking lawsuit brought by the \u003ca href=\"https://knightcolumbia.org/\">Knight First Amendment Institute\u003c/a> at Columbia University.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Katie Fallow, a \u003ca href=\"https://knightcolumbia.org/directory/katie-fallow\">senior attorney\u003c/a> at the institute, says the suit is based on long-standing First Amendment principles, \"where if the government opens up a space or hosts a kind of public forum where they allow the public to speak, they can't exclude someone from that forum based on their views.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Twitter account @realDonaldTrump is the president's personal account. It was created before he became president. But Fallow says the president has used it to make official announcements.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Like the replacement for the FBI director after he fired James Comey, and the transgender ban,\" as well as a lot of other policy announcements, says Fallow.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it isn't just that Trump uses the account to make official announcements. He also uses it to interact with the public.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Josh Geltzer, the founding executive director of the \u003ca href=\"https://www.law.georgetown.edu/academics/centers-institutes/constitutional-advocacy-protection/our-team.cfm\">Institute for Constitutional Advocacy and Protection\u003c/a> at Georgetown University Law Center, says it's like a virtual town hall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The institute filed a brief in support of the blocked Twitter users. He says you can exclude people from a town hall for lack of space, but not for their opinions. He points to a \u003ca href=\"https://docs.justia.com/cases/federal/district-courts/virginia/vaedce/1:2016cv00932/348006/132\">recent case in Virginia\u003c/a> where a federal court found the country could not block an individual from an official county Facebook page.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Geltzer says the case was similar to this one. He says the county was trying to \"shut out voices that weren't obscene or bullying, but voices that simply expressed criticism or unwanted viewpoints.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No one from the Justice Department was available in time to speak to NPR. However, in its \u003ca href=\"https://knightcolumbia.org/sites/default/files/content/Knight_v_Trump_WH_opening_brief.pdf\">brief\u003c/a>, the government argues that this is the president's private Twitter account. He's using it just like everyone else. Twitter is a private platform with its own rules. The president has a right to block people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All this makes for a novel case in the digital age. If the court finds against the president, it could certainly have implications on how government officials chose to use social media in the future.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2017 NPR.

Just like Trump, Cohen likes to tweet.

That means his tweets got to the top of the president's feed. Cohen set up an alert so that he could know when Trump tweeted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If I replied right away, I could get lucky and have a lot of people read my tweets,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But then, one day the president blocked him. Cohen was surprised. He says he wasn't trolling the president.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I was basically civil,\" he says. \"I didn't use a lot of profanity. I didn't harass people individually.

It was created before he became president. But Fallow says the president has used it to make official announcements.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Like the replacement for the FBI director after he fired James Comey, and the transgender ban,\" as well as a lot of other policy announcements, says Fallow.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it isn't just that Trump uses the account to make official announcements.

He points to a \u003ca href=\"https://docs.justia.com/cases/federal/district-courts/virginia/vaedce/1:2016cv00932/348006/132\">recent case in Virginia\u003c/a> where a federal court found the country could not block an individual from an official county Facebook page.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Geltzer says the case was similar to this one. He says the county was trying to \"shut out voices that weren't obscene or bullying, but voices that simply expressed criticism or unwanted viewpoints.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No one from the Justice Department was available in time to speak to NPR. However, in its \u003ca href=\"https://knightcolumbia.org/sites/default/files/content/Knight_v_Trump_WH_opening_brief.pdf\">brief\u003c/a>, the government argues that this is the president's private Twitter account.

The trove was acquired by \u003ca href=\"http://www.sueddeutsche.de/wirtschaft/paradise-papers-das-paradies-der-reichen-1.3735767\">the German newspaper Süddeutsche Zeitung\u003c/a>, which says the records show how the wealthy and powerful sometimes duck taxes, regulations, sanctions and \"at least their social responsibility.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4XeBz1hYJQ\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wilbur Ross \"was a major client of Appleby,\" the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists says, noting that the law firm administered more than 50 companies and partnerships linked to investments on behalf of his private equity firm, W.L.

But critics of the arrangement note that in addition to Shamalov, another of Sibur's co-owners is Gennady Timchenko, a close Putin ally who is currently under U.S. sanctions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for the money generated by the deal, Swaine says, \"Navigator's brought in about $68 million in revenue since 2014 from the deal. The contract is worth at least $200 million a year, and it's scheduled to continue for about a decade.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Referring to Sibur, the commerce secretary said, \"The fact that it happens to be called a Russian company does not mean that there's any evil in it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Referring to his financial disclosure Form 278 that was filed with the U.S. Office of Government Ethics, Ross said, \"Where there is evil is the misstatement that I did not disclose those holdings in my original form.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another high-profile figure named in the papers is \u003ca href=\"https://offshoreleaks.cloud.icij.org/stories/queen-elizabeth-ii\">Queen Elizabeth\u003c/a>, who reportedly had around 10 million pounds (some $13 million) of her money offshore, \u003ca href=\"http://www.bbc.com/news/live/world-41879690\">the BBC says\u003c/a>. The queen's investments included a previously undisclosed stake in a Cayman fund in control of a rent-to-own company called BrightHouse, which, as the \u003cem>Guardian \u003c/em>reports, has been criticized \"for exploiting thousands of poor families and vulnerable people.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/news/2017/nov/05/revealed-queen-private-estate-invested-offshore-paradise-papers\">The Guardian notes\u003c/a> that Elizabeth's estate, the Duchy of Lancaster, says it was unaware of the holding prior to being contacted by news agencies.

Both tech firms and members of President Trump's inner circle have faced scrutiny; the Paradise Papers add to that conversation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"More recently, Milner invested $850,000 in Cadre, a real estate firm co-founded by Trump's son-in-law and White House adviser, Jared Kushner,\" \u003ca href=\"https://www.icij.org/investigations/paradise-papers/paradise-papers-exposes-donald-trump-russia-links-and-piggy-banks-of-the-wealthiest-1-percent/\">the ICIJ reports\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ICIJ adds, \"Milner is a Russian citizen who lives in Silicon Valley.

That prompted Apple to make a plan with Appleby to use subsidiaries to park money in Jersey, a tax haven in the English Channel, according to \u003ca href=\"https://www.icij.org/investigations/paradise-papers/apples-secret-offshore-island-hop-revealed-by-paradise-papers-leak-icij/\">the ICIJ\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2017/11/06/world/apple-taxes-jersey.html?hp&action=click&pgtype=Homepage&clickSource=story-heading&module=second-column-region®ion=top-news&WT.nav=top-news\">the New York Times reports\u003c/a>, \"Apple has accumulated more than $128 billion in profits offshore, and probably much more, that is untaxed by the United States and hardly touched by any other country. Nearly all of that was generated over the past decade.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another Trump Cabinet member, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, is mentioned in the documents as a former director of a Bermuda company named Marib Upstream Services Co., which the ICIJ says was \"created to conduct oil and gas operations\" in Yemen. Tillerson reportedly served on Marib's board for roughly a year, from 1997 to 1998.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"l3oAyMgTe6NyZH6cYbeIEtX7v2L3PVat\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The report also highlights two Democrats who are not currently in government. \u003ca href=\"https://offshoreleaks.icij.org/stories/penny-pritzker\">Former Commerce Secretary Penny Pritzker\u003c/a> is said to have transferred shares of two companies into a limited liability corporation that is referred to as being \"owned by trusts that are for the benefit of Penny Pritzker's children,\" the ICIJ says, citing Appleby documents. The move was made just after Pritzker was confirmed; the report says she later filed ethics paperwork in which the holdings were \"simply listed as having been sold.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a shorter entry, former \u003ca href=\"https://offshoreleaks.cloud.icij.org/stories/wesley-k-clark\">presidential candidate Wesley Clark\u003c/a> is mentioned for his ties to Amaya, an online gaming company that is now called the Stars Group.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Paradise Papers are the fruit of a new branch of the work that brought \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2016/04/04/472985787/heres-what-you-need-to-know-so-far-about-panama-papers\">the Panama Papers\u003c/a> to light in 2015 and 2016. Those leaked documents caused embarrassment among the elites in several countries, from the U.K. to Ukraine, and resulted in the prime ministers of Iceland and Pakistan leaving office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The leaked Appleby records that are at the heart of the Paradise Papers detail more ties to the U.S. than to any other nation, according to the ICIJ.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"At least 31,000 of the individual and corporate clients included in Appleby's records are U.S. citizens or have U.S. addresses, more than from any other country,\" \u003ca href=\"https://www.icij.org/investigations/paradise-papers/about/\">the ICIJ said in a statement about the release\u003c/a>. \"Appleby also counted clients from the United Kingdom, China and Canada among its biggest sources of business.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.cbc.ca/news/business/stephen-bronfman-trudeau-paradise-papers-1.4382511\">The Canadian Broadcasting Corp. reports\u003c/a> that the names of more than 3,000 Canadian citizens, companies and other entities appear in the Paradise Papers, including three former prime ministers: Brian Mulroney, Jean Chrétien and Paul Martin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also mentioned is Stephen Bronfman, a key fundraiser for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Noting that Trudeau has mentioned tax fairness as a priority, the CBC says that Bronfman, a Seagram family heir, and his investment company, Claridge Inc., \"were key players linked to a $60 million U.S. offshore trust in the Cayman Islands that may have cost Canadians millions in unpaid taxes.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More revelations seem likely to come from the Paradise Papers — so far, we're seeing only a sampling of the documents; the stories that were launched by dozens of collaborating media outlets on Sunday reflect only the highlights of the data. A member of the ICIJ's data team says the group will release \"the full structured data from the Paradise Papers investigation in the coming weeks.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for the timeline described in the leaked documents, the ICIJ says the records date back to 1950 and run forward to 2016.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In response to the reports, Appleby released a statement saying in part, \"The journalists do not allege, nor could they, that Appleby has done anything unlawful. There is no wrongdoing. It is a patchwork quilt of unrelated allegations with a clear political agenda and movement against offshore.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The law firm added, \"We wish to reiterate that our firm was not the subject of a leak but of a serious criminal act. This was an illegal computer hack.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>News of offshore accounts and tax havens has been grabbing headlines since it broke on Sunday. But the ICIJ warns against assuming the guilt of anyone mentioned in its reporting. Noting that there are \"legitimate uses for offshore companies and trusts,\" the group says, \"we do not intend to suggest or imply that any people, companies or other entities included in the ICIJ Offshore Leaks Database have broken the law or otherwise acted improperly.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The International Consortium of Investigative Journalists was founded in 1997, as part of the Center for Public Integrity; it became an independent organization early in 2017.\u003c/p>\n\n",

That prompted Apple to make a plan with Appleby to use subsidiaries to park money in Jersey, a tax haven in the English Channel, according to \u003ca href=\"https://www.icij.org/investigations/paradise-papers/apples-secret-offshore-island-hop-revealed-by-paradise-papers-leak-icij/\">the ICIJ\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2017/11/06/world/apple-taxes-jersey.html?hp&action=click&pgtype=Homepage&clickSource=story-heading&module=second-column-region®ion=top-news&WT.nav=top-news\">the New York Times reports\u003c/a>, \"Apple has accumulated more than $128 billion in profits offshore, and probably much more, that is untaxed by the United States and hardly touched by any other country. Nearly all of that was generated over the past decade.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another Trump Cabinet member, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, is mentioned in the documents as a former director of a Bermuda company named Marib Upstream Services Co., which the ICIJ says was \"created to conduct oil and gas operations\" in Yemen. Tillerson reportedly served on Marib's board for roughly a year, from 1997 to 1998.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The report also highlights two Democrats who are not currently in government. \u003ca href=\"https://offshoreleaks.icij.org/stories/penny-pritzker\">Former Commerce Secretary Penny Pritzker\u003c/a> is said to have transferred shares of two companies into a limited liability corporation that is referred to as being \"owned by trusts that are for the benefit of Penny Pritzker's children,\" the ICIJ says, citing Appleby documents. The move was made just after Pritzker was confirmed; the report says she later filed ethics paperwork in which the holdings were \"simply listed as having been sold.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a shorter entry, former \u003ca href=\"https://offshoreleaks.cloud.icij.org/stories/wesley-k-clark\">presidential candidate Wesley Clark\u003c/a> is mentioned for his ties to Amaya, an online gaming company that is now called the Stars Group.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Paradise Papers are the fruit of a new branch of the work that brought \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2016/04/04/472985787/heres-what-you-need-to-know-so-far-about-panama-papers\">the Panama Papers\u003c/a> to light in 2015 and 2016. Those leaked documents caused embarrassment among the elites in several countries, from the U.K. to Ukraine, and resulted in the prime ministers of Iceland and Pakistan leaving office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The leaked Appleby records that are at the heart of the Paradise Papers detail more ties to the U.S. than to any other nation, according to the ICIJ.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"At least 31,000 of the individual and corporate clients included in Appleby's records are U.S. citizens or have U.S. addresses, more than from any other country,\" \u003ca href=\"https://www.icij.org/investigations/paradise-papers/about/\">the ICIJ said in a statement about the release\u003c/a>. \"Appleby also counted clients from the United Kingdom, China and Canada among its biggest sources of business.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.cbc.ca/news/business/stephen-bronfman-trudeau-paradise-papers-1.4382511\">The Canadian Broadcasting Corp. reports\u003c/a> that the names of more than 3,000 Canadian citizens, companies and other entities appear in the Paradise Papers, including three former prime ministers: Brian Mulroney, Jean Chrétien and Paul Martin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also mentioned is Stephen Bronfman, a key fundraiser for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Noting that Trudeau has mentioned tax fairness as a priority, the CBC says that Bronfman, a Seagram family heir, and his investment company, Claridge Inc., \"were key players linked to a $60 million U.S. offshore trust in the Cayman Islands that may have cost Canadians millions in unpaid taxes.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More revelations seem likely to come from the Paradise Papers — so far, we're seeing only a sampling of the documents; the stories that were launched by dozens of collaborating media outlets on Sunday reflect only the highlights of the data. A member of the ICIJ's data team says the group will release \"the full structured data from the Paradise Papers investigation in the coming weeks.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for the timeline described in the leaked documents, the ICIJ says the records date back to 1950 and run forward to 2016.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In response to the reports, Appleby released a statement saying in part, \"The journalists do not allege, nor could they, that Appleby has done anything unlawful. There is no wrongdoing. It is a patchwork quilt of unrelated allegations with a clear political agenda and movement against offshore.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The law firm added, \"We wish to reiterate that our firm was not the subject of a leak but of a serious criminal act. This was an illegal computer hack.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>News of offshore accounts and tax havens has been grabbing headlines since it broke on Sunday. But the ICIJ warns against assuming the guilt of anyone mentioned in its reporting. Noting that there are \"legitimate uses for offshore companies and trusts,\" the group says, \"we do not intend to suggest or imply that any people, companies or other entities included in the ICIJ Offshore Leaks Database have broken the law or otherwise acted improperly.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
