His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

Meanwhile, in California, most counties will start mailing ballots to more than 20 million registered voters in the state starting next week. California is one of nine states that will send ballots to all registered voters by mail, a decision prompted by the ongoing pandemic. President Trump has lodged repeated attacks on voting by mail and sought to sow doubts about the integrity of the November election. At the first presidential debate on Tuesday, he once again falsely claimed that voting by mail is rife with fraud and refused to say he would accept the results of the election. President Trump also repeatedly interrupted, personally attacked and talked over his Democratic presidential rival, Joe Biden, who called him “a clown” and told him to “shut up, man.” The Commission on Presidential Debates said that it will make changes to the format to “ensure a more orderly discussion” prior to the next showdown between the two rivals. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u003c/span>\u003cb>Guests:\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Scott Shafer, KQED senior editor of politics and government\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Guy Marzorati, KQED politics and government reporter\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>“Older and Overlooked” KQED Series Reveals Fire Danger to Seniors\u003cbr>\n\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">As firefighters continue to battle wildfires that have burned millions of acres in California, an investigation by KQED and CalMatters has found roughly two million people aged 65 and older live in areas at high risk for wildfires. The investigation also revealed that wildfires are a significant hazard for more than a third of nursing homes and other long-term care facilities in California.

That warning, issued by the National Weather Service, also covers the East Bay Hills and Diablo Range, the Santa Cruz mountains and Los Padres National Forest, where the \u003ca href=\"https://inciweb.nwcg.gov/incident/7018/\">Dolan Fire\u003c/a> is burning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cal Fire officials have warned residents to be vigilant about calling in any new fires they spot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/NWSBayArea/status/1311717082208165888\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We really have a tough 24 hours ahead of us as we go through this weather pattern,” said Cal Fire Deputy Chief Jonathan Cox.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He noted that cooler more favorable weather conditions are forecast for later this weekend, when firefighters expect to make good progress containing the Glass Fire. “But really we’re focussed right now on the next 24-hour operational period to really do as much as we can to protect the community that are threatened out there.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/CALFIRELNU/status/1311465354833530881\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thursday morning the blaze had destroyed at least 36 single-family homes in Sonoma County, along the eastern edge of Santa Rosa, and 107 homes in Napa County, according to Cal Fire. However, by Thursday evening the number of homes destroyed increased to 67 in Sonoma and 153 in Napa Couty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A number of evacuation orders or warnings in and around Santa Rosa and unincorporated Sonoma County have been recently downgraded or lifted, with some neighborhoods starting to repopulate. But tens of thousands of residents in both counties \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/CALFIRELNU\">remain under existing orders\u003c/a> to leave their homes — including almost 13,000 in Santa Rosa alone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My main message for you today is that more evacuations are possible,” Sonoma County Sheriff Mark Essick said at a Thursday afternoon briefing. He reminded residents to be prepared by signing up for emergency updates, keeping cellphones charged, having at least a half a tank of gas in the tank and packing a go-bag with valuables and medication. And if residents hear a hi-lo siren, he added, that means “it’s time to go.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Napa County, the fire was “impinging” on the city of Calistoga and the hillside community of Argwin to the southeast, both of which remain under evacuation orders, said Cal Fire Operations Chief Mark Brunton. “It’s not into [Calistoga] city limits by any stretch at this point, but it is something we are closely watching, monitoring and taking action on,” he said at Thursday afternoon briefing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>New evacuation orders were also issued Thursday for all areas north of Calistoga between Highway 128, the Sonoma County line and Highway 29.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Derek Webb, who owns Triple S Ranch in Calistoga, refused to leave despite the evacuation order.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think everybody has to judge their own risk. I’ve seen way too many fires where a homeowner has stayed behind and saved his entire property with a garden hose,” Webb said, noting that he had cleared brush to create a defensible space around his 20-acre property. “I’m not saying it’s for everyone,” he added. “For me, I will always be able to take that risk just because I have confidence in myself and what I’m doing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fire on Thursday was also pushing toward Oakville, a hamlet south of St. Helena, near the Robert Mondavi winery. It also remained very active farther north in the rural Palisades area near Mt. St. Helena, where firefighters have been stymied by steep terrain and heavy fuels, Cal Fire’s Brunton said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11840691\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Perimeter-Map.png\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11840691\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Perimeter-Map-800x634.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"634\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Perimeter-Map-800x634.png 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Perimeter-Map-1020x808.png 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Perimeter-Map-160x127.png 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Perimeter-Map-1536x1217.png 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Perimeter-Map-2048x1623.png 2048w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Perimeter-Map-1920x1521.png 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Glass Fire perimeter as of Thursday morning, Oct. 1. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Cal Fire)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Fire crews were also closely watching the Highway 29 corridor on the valley floor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That is going to be a concern moving forward, because of the wine industry being what it is, and this time of year being critical for them,” Brunton said. “They are allowed to operate at this point in time to harvest their crops. … So we are going to be watching that closely.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Sonoma County’s Sugarloaf Ridge State Park, just across the county line, crews had made progress containing the blaze, but the flames still posed a “potential threat” to the nearby communities of Kenwood and Glen Ellen, located about halfway between between Santa Rosa and the town of Sonoma.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, the Highway 12 corridor heading into Santa Rosa — an area under serious threat earlier in the week — was “looking much better,” he added, as was the nearby area along Calistoga Road.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dione Carston, a homeowner in the Deer Park neighborhood of St. Helena, evacuated the area with her husband early Sunday morning — the fourth time she’s had to flee her home in the last five years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/SherazSadiq1/status/1311410132438274048?s=20\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier this week, she managed to sneak back onto her property to discover that the sprinkler her husband had hurriedly installed on the roof had saved the house and their two pet turkeys, even as the flames claimed the horse barn on their seven-acre property.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We need a reprieve, we need a break, it’s too much and I don’t dare ask, ‘What else?’, because I believe the universe will open and show you what else it can give you,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://sonomacounty.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=69a0e54e9e2b48c086d122027b21c961\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" scrolling=\"yes\" class=\"iframe-class\" frameborder=\"0\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Burning between the scars of several recent blazes, the Glass Fire is devouring critically dry brush and grass that has not burned for at least 70 years, and has not been rained on for five months, making containment efforts all the more challenging, officials said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More than 2,100 firefighters have been assigned to fight the blaze — in alternating 24-hour shifts — aided by a fleet of dozers, helicopters and air tankers, Cal Fire officials said.

However, by Thursday evening the number of homes destroyed increased to 67 in Sonoma and 153 in Napa Couty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A number of evacuation orders or warnings in and around Santa Rosa and unincorporated Sonoma County have been recently downgraded or lifted, with some neighborhoods starting to repopulate. But tens of thousands of residents in both counties \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/CALFIRELNU\">remain under existing orders\u003c/a> to leave their homes — including almost 13,000 in Santa Rosa alone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My main message for you today is that more evacuations are possible,” Sonoma County Sheriff Mark Essick said at a Thursday afternoon briefing. He reminded residents to be prepared by signing up for emergency updates, keeping cellphones charged, having at least a half a tank of gas in the tank and packing a go-bag with valuables and medication. And if residents hear a hi-lo siren, he added, that means “it’s time to go.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Napa County, the fire was “impinging” on the city of Calistoga and the hillside community of Argwin to the southeast, both of which remain under evacuation orders, said Cal Fire Operations Chief Mark Brunton. “It’s not into [Calistoga] city limits by any stretch at this point, but it is something we are closely watching, monitoring and taking action on,” he said at Thursday afternoon briefing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>New evacuation orders were also issued Thursday for all areas north of Calistoga between Highway 128, the Sonoma County line and Highway 29.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Derek Webb, who owns Triple S Ranch in Calistoga, refused to leave despite the evacuation order.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think everybody has to judge their own risk. I’ve seen way too many fires where a homeowner has stayed behind and saved his entire property with a garden hose,” Webb said, noting that he had cleared brush to create a defensible space around his 20-acre property. “I’m not saying it’s for everyone,” he added. “For me, I will always be able to take that risk just because I have confidence in myself and what I’m doing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fire on Thursday was also pushing toward Oakville, a hamlet south of St. Helena, near the Robert Mondavi winery. It also remained very active farther north in the rural Palisades area near Mt. St. Helena, where firefighters have been stymied by steep terrain and heavy fuels, Cal Fire’s Brunton said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11840691\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Perimeter-Map.png\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11840691\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Perimeter-Map-800x634.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"634\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Perimeter-Map-800x634.png 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Perimeter-Map-1020x808.png 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Perimeter-Map-160x127.png 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Perimeter-Map-1536x1217.png 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Perimeter-Map-2048x1623.png 2048w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Perimeter-Map-1920x1521.png 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Glass Fire perimeter as of Thursday morning, Oct. 1. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Cal Fire)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Fire crews were also closely watching the Highway 29 corridor on the valley floor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That is going to be a concern moving forward, because of the wine industry being what it is, and this time of year being critical for them,” Brunton said. “They are allowed to operate at this point in time to harvest their crops. … So we are going to be watching that closely.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Sonoma County’s Sugarloaf Ridge State Park, just across the county line, crews had made progress containing the blaze, but the flames still posed a “potential threat” to the nearby communities of Kenwood and Glen Ellen, located about halfway between between Santa Rosa and the town of Sonoma.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, the Highway 12 corridor heading into Santa Rosa — an area under serious threat earlier in the week — was “looking much better,” he added, as was the nearby area along Calistoga Road.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

And when fire spreads rapidly, some residents don’t have the time or means to evacuate pets and livestock.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the North Bay, that’s where local organizations like the \u003ca href=\"https://napacart.org/\">Napa Community Animal Response Team\u003c/a> (CART) step in. CART volunteers travel behind evacuation lines to rescue pets and livestock, coordinate donations of feed and supplies and care for animals staying in shelters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dr. Claudia Sonder, president of Napa CART and an equine veterinarian, told KQED during the Glass Fire in 2020 that planning ahead is crucial.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We talk about humans being prepared for disaster, but we don’t often talk about preparing your animals for disaster,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Preparing for evacuation\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Here are a few things you can do to prepare your animals before evacuating:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Make an evacuation plan for livestock and practice evacuating more than once ahead of time.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Fill out a luggage tag with the animal’s name and your contact information; the tag can be braided into a horse’s mane and attached to a horn or ear tag.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Prepare a go-bag for your pets and livestock with: food for at least three days; leashes, halters or harnesses; medication; your vet’s contact information; and instructions for feeding and any medical needs.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Microchip your pets, and make sure the microchip contact information is up to date.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Be sure to have photos of your animals for identification purposes.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.aspca.org/sites/default/files/preparedness_for_pets_sep_2015.pdf\">Find more information from the ASPCA here.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Moving horses and other farm or ranch animals out of danger requires a large truck and stock trailer. During fire weather warnings, hitch your trailer to the truck and keep it pointed toward the road to save time during evacuation.

They have displaced hundreds of thousands of people,” Wallace said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Fox News anchor then referred to Trump’s recent visit to Sacramento.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When state officials there blamed the fires on climate change, Mr. President, you said, ‘I don’t think the science knows.’ What do you believe about the science of climate change, and what will you do in the next four years to confront it?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump initially deflected the question.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I want crystal clean water and air. I want beautiful clean air. We have now the lowest carbon. If you look at our numbers right now, we are doing phenomenally,” Trump said, without citing any evidence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wallace pressed for an actual answer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What do you believe about the science of climate change, sir, and what will you do in the next four years to confront it?” he asked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote align=\"right\" size=\"medium\" citation=\"President Trump\"]‘Every year I get the call: ‘California is burning! California is burning!’ If that was cleaned … if you had forest management, good forest management, you wouldn’t be getting those calls.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I believe that we have to do everything we can to have immaculate air, immaculate water and do whatever else we can. You know, we’re planting a billion trees,” Trump said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When asked if he believes human-produced greenhouse gases contribute to the warming of planet, Trump gave a brief nod before pivoting to his favorite culprit, forest management.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think a lot of things do, but I think to an extent, yes.
