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.",

The fires have so far caused three first responder injuries, two civilian injuries and destroyed 20 structures, while threatening about 20,065 others.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Wednesday afternoon, Cal Fire officials reported that the entire east side of the complex had been contained and that crews have also been successful in significantly slowing its southbound spread. However, much of the north and west sides of the vast complex remained largely uncontained, with crews on the ground still actively engaged in firefighting efforts, and bulldozers cutting lines to prevent further expansion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The number one threat, officials said, continues to be the largely uncontained western flank of the complex because of its proximity to densely populated areas along Highway 101 — including the cities of San Jose and Morgan Hill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officials also stressed that the entire fire perimeter — even areas not currently burning — is still closed to public access because of dangerous conditions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/calfireSCU/status/1298803958153011200\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/calfireSCU/status/1298742028952469504\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/AlamedaCoFire/status/1298435851127422977\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003ca id=\"CZU\">\u003c/a>CZU August Lightning Complex\u003c/h2>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Cal Fire information line: 831-335-6717\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"https://www.fire.ca.gov/incidents/2020/8/17/czu-august-lightning-complex/\">Cal Fire incident information page\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/CALFIRECZU\">Cal Fire CZU Twitter feed\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/f0121f7f2f0941afb3ed70529b2cee75\">Updated evacuation information\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://www.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=ac4e6acdd58d4afaa0b8ce0e314108e0\" width=\"1000\" height=\"700\" scrolling=\"yes\" class=\"iframe-class\" frameborder=\"0\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"https://www.fire.ca.gov/incidents/2020/8/17/czu-august-lightning-complex/\">CZU August Lightning Complex\u003c/a> consists of multiple smaller lightning-sparked fires in the Santa Cruz mountains that merged into a massive blaze in Santa Cruz and San Mateo counties, forcing more than 77,000 residents to evacuate, including the entire UC Santa Cruz campus.

Sonoma County officials on Tuesday lifted evacuation orders for thousands of people, allowing them to return home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, the Walbridge Fire, south of Lake Sonoma, has destroyed scores of homes and other buildings and remains a tough fight, Waters said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Heavy fuels, steep and broken terrain, it’s very difficult terrain to work in. Also a lot of homes and a lot of structures we have to work around,” Waters said. But, he added, crews “continue to make good progress in tying together vineyards, people’s backyards, strategic points.”\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The fires have so far caused three first responder injuries, two civilian injuries and destroyed 20 structures, while threatening about 20,065 others.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Wednesday afternoon, Cal Fire officials reported that the entire east side of the complex had been contained and that crews have also been successful in significantly slowing its southbound spread. However, much of the north and west sides of the vast complex remained largely uncontained, with crews on the ground still actively engaged in firefighting efforts, and bulldozers cutting lines to prevent further expansion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The number one threat, officials said, continues to be the largely uncontained western flank of the complex because of its proximity to densely populated areas along Highway 101 — including the cities of San Jose and Morgan Hill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officials also stressed that the entire fire perimeter — even areas not currently burning — is still closed to public access because of dangerous conditions.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>It’s a destructive and exhausting wildfire season, again. Already more than 100,000 residents around the Bay Area have been forced out of their homes in emergency evacuations as crews battle massive wildfires in the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11834086/what-you-need-to-know-bay-area-lightning-fires\">North Bay, East Bay and South Bay\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Do you know someone who lost their home in a fire? There are many things you can do to help – right away, in a few weeks and even a year from now. That help can range from simply offering moral support to cold, hard cash, to pitching in on errands.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Families can lose all their material possessions in a fire, from everyday necessities like clothing and computers to cherished memories contained in photos or diaries and essential documents like passports and birth certificates. The recovery process isn’t only about reacquiring things – it also involves months of slogging through the bureaucracy of insurance companies and government agencies and slowly rebuilding a sense of home and security. Survivors can use help with all of it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was kindness from those near and far, friends and strangers, that created beauty in the midst of ugliness and healing in the midst of despair,” \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11628364/how-to-help-a-friend-who-lost-their-home-in-a-wildfire\">wrote Carolynn Spezza\u003c/a>, who lost her home to the 2015 Valley Fire in Lake County.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Immediate Necessities\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>In the immediate aftermath of a fire, people need the basics: a toothbrush, toilet paper, phone chargers, pain medication — although if they’re staying in a hotel, some of these might be covered.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other basic items needed right away? Clean socks, underwear and a change of clothes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Items like shoes and jackets are helpful, but a little trickier. You can give away a bag of clothes, but unless you know someone’s size (and maybe fashion taste) you may not want to give them too much stuff that they’ll have to spend precious time sorting through.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the weeks following the disaster, offering to shop for clothing together or giving a gift card are good options.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>A Place to Stay\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>This one is pretty obvious. But the coronavirus pandemic does complicate matters, as questions about how to stay socially distant or potentially invite additional members into a “pod” will need to be a part of this conversation among all household members and fire survivors — especially since fire survivors won’t likely be able to quarantine for 14 days before joining a household.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Find them immediate housing; put out the call for longer term housing,” says Kim Anderson, whose San Francisco apartment burned in a 2016 fire.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Buy Groceries or Make a Meal\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Offer to make a grocery run. Depending on whether the fire survivor has access to a refrigerator and kitchen, you might want to get foods that are nonperishable or ready-made.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cook up a hot dinner and deliver it around mealtime. Or give a gift card to a local restaurant for a COVID-19-safe pickup, or to a meal delivery service that can bring takeout to wherever they’re staying.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Help With Debris Removal\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Many people will want to go back to the site of their home and sift through the ashes to look for remnants of their belongings. Offer to go along, but be aware that this can be a difficult and emotional process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The sight of a lost home may be a sacred burial ground of a lost life. Focus on being a respectful guest with slow moments and quiet energy,” \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11628364/how-to-help-a-friend-who-lost-their-home-in-a-wildfire\">Spezza advises\u003c/a>. “Allow your friend to remain the leader at all times. Ask where you should be and what you should pick through. Refrain from going into treasure hunt mode, even if the opportunity is compelling.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label='Wildfire Coverage' tag='wildfires']\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Run Errands, Help With Paperwork\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>There’s a mountain of tasks facing anyone who’s lost their home in a fire so, if you’re local, offer to run errands. Picking up or dropping things off are a frequent need. You can also help with research, whether it’s online or jumping on the phone to make calls.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the more arduous tasks that many people face is documenting the belongings they lost in the fire for insurance purposes. You can help inventory items and their estimated values — it’s painstaking work that many hands can make lighter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And a great tip from \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Anderson\u003c/span>: you can donate expertise, like legal or accounting services.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Give Money or Gift Cards\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Even if your loved ones are insured, insurance payouts won’t necessarily be coming right away. Meanwhile, there’s a long list of belongings that need to be stocked up again: pots and pans, clothing, school supplies and — eventually, when it’s time — furniture.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cash never hurts, say most fire survivors, and gift cards are an excellent alternative.

There are many things you can do to help – right away, in a few weeks and even a year from now. That help can range from simply offering moral support to cold, hard cash, to pitching in on errands.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Families can lose all their material possessions in a fire, from everyday necessities like clothing and computers to cherished memories contained in photos or diaries and essential documents like passports and birth certificates. The recovery process isn’t only about reacquiring things – it also involves months of slogging through the bureaucracy of insurance companies and government agencies and slowly rebuilding a sense of home and security. Survivors can use help with all of it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was kindness from those near and far, friends and strangers, that created beauty in the midst of ugliness and healing in the midst of despair,” \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11628364/how-to-help-a-friend-who-lost-their-home-in-a-wildfire\">wrote Carolynn Spezza\u003c/a>, who lost her home to the 2015 Valley Fire in Lake County.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Immediate Necessities\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>In the immediate aftermath of a fire, people need the basics: a toothbrush, toilet paper, phone chargers, pain medication — although if they’re staying in a hotel, some of these might be covered.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other basic items needed right away? Clean socks, underwear and a change of clothes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Items like shoes and jackets are helpful, but a little trickier. You can give away a bag of clothes, but unless you know someone’s size (and maybe fashion taste) you may not want to give them too much stuff that they’ll have to spend precious time sorting through.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the weeks following the disaster, offering to shop for clothing together or giving a gift card are good options.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

But the coronavirus pandemic does complicate matters, as questions about how to stay socially distant or potentially invite additional members into a “pod” will need to be a part of this conversation among all household members and fire survivors — especially since fire survivors won’t likely be able to quarantine for 14 days before joining a household.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Find them immediate housing; put out the call for longer term housing,” says Kim Anderson, whose San Francisco apartment burned in a 2016 fire.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Buy Groceries or Make a Meal\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Offer to make a grocery run. Depending on whether the fire survivor has access to a refrigerator and kitchen, you might want to get foods that are nonperishable or ready-made.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cook up a hot dinner and deliver it around mealtime. Or give a gift card to a local restaurant for a COVID-19-safe pickup, or to a meal delivery service that can bring takeout to wherever they’re staying.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Help With Debris Removal\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Many people will want to go back to the site of their home and sift through the ashes to look for remnants of their belongings. Offer to go along, but be aware that this can be a difficult and emotional process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The sight of a lost home may be a sacred burial ground of a lost life. Focus on being a respectful guest with slow moments and quiet energy,” \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11628364/how-to-help-a-friend-who-lost-their-home-in-a-wildfire\">Spezza advises\u003c/a>. “Allow your friend to remain the leader at all times.

"content": "\u003cp>Aided by favorable weather and reinforcements, firefighters were cautiously optimistic Tuesday about their progress in hemming a series of massive lightning-sparked wildfires on the outskirts of the Bay Area. The unprecedented blazes, which began last week, have charred more than 1 million acres, killing at least seven people, forcing some 170,000 residents to evacuate and destroying more than 1,200 homes and other buildings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At this time last year, California had about 4,300 wildfires that burned about 87.5 square miles — the toll this year is 7,000 fires and nearly 2,200 square miles, Gov. Gavin Newsom said Monday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are dealing with different climate conditions that are precipitating in fires the likes we haven’t seen in modern recorded history,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cal Fire is currently in talks with the National Guard and the California Conservation Corps about providing reinforcements as an already devastating wildfire season threatens to get even worse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The early season blazes have grown to some of the largest in state history, with firefighters stretched increasingly thin as they also deal with complications from the coronavirus pandemic and depleted inmate crews.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Historically it’s September and October when we experience our largest and our most damaging wildfires.

These impoverished communities are located very close to congested traffic, which chokes their air far more regularly than wildfires.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With wildfire smoke, “you can even feel it inside your apartment building, you don’t even have to step out into the street. But also, the other major issues identified today have been traffic congestion, construction impacts,” Ahn said, so “knowing the air in which they breathe, in which they absorb over a very long period of time and how it shapes their long term life expectancy, is something that everybody should have a right to.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ahn said Brightline Defense’s effort to measure air quality near SRO hotels may also expand into Chinatown with the help of the Chinatown Community Development Center, which operates SRO buildings in the neighborhood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Any effort to improve air quality would be welcome by Jun Tan, a father of a 7-year-old who lives with his wife and daughter in a Chinatown SRO. A custodian, Tan said sheltering-in-place in his single room, with his family, led to hotter-than-usual conditions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It is hard with the current bad air quality and ashes,” Jun said, “because now we have to close the only window we have.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

These impoverished communities are located very close to congested traffic, which chokes their air far more regularly than wildfires.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With wildfire smoke, “you can even feel it inside your apartment building, you don’t even have to step out into the street. But also, the other major issues identified today have been traffic congestion, construction impacts,” Ahn said, so “knowing the air in which they breathe, in which they absorb over a very long period of time and how it shapes their long term life expectancy, is something that everybody should have a right to.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ahn said Brightline Defense’s effort to measure air quality near SRO hotels may also expand into Chinatown with the help of the Chinatown Community Development Center, which operates SRO buildings in the neighborhood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Any effort to improve air quality would be welcome by Jun Tan, a father of a 7-year-old who lives with his wife and daughter in a Chinatown SRO. A custodian, Tan said sheltering-in-place in his single room, with his family, led to hotter-than-usual conditions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It is hard with the current bad air quality and ashes,” Jun said, “because now we have to close the only window we have.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

The report confirmed that Russia not only meddled in the election to help Donald Trump win the presidency but also that Paul Manafort and other Trump campaign advisors had extensive contacts with Russian operatives and shared information such as polling data with them. Congressional lawmakers also summoned U.S. Postmaster General Louis DeJoy to testify on Capitol Hill today and Monday about controversial changes he authorized that have led to mail delivery delays, service reductions and warnings that mail-in ballots may not arrive in time to be counted for the November election. DeJoy announced this week that the service changes would be suspended until after the election.

The virtual convention featured not only impassioned speeches from Democratic heavyweights such as Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi and Elizabeth Warren, but also endorsements of Joe Biden by Republicans like former Ohio governor John Kasich and Colin Powell. A diverse group of Americans also gave personal testimonials of the impact that President Trump’s policies have had on them and their families.
