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.",

"content": "\u003cp>A three-judge panel at the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco is considering the legality of a Trump administration policy that effectively bars most Central American migrants at the southern border from seeking asylum in the United States.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under the administration’s so-called third-country rule, non-Mexicans are ineligible for asylum if they fail to apply for protection in a country they cross en route to the U.S., with very limited exceptions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After an emergency request by the government, the U.S. Supreme Court temporarily allowed the asylum restrictions to be implemented in September, while the case is litigated in lower courts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That ruling came after months of legal wrangling, with a federal judge in Oakland \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11772775/judge-in-oakland-may-reinstate-nationwide-bar-on-asylum-restrictions\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">blocking\u003c/a> the policy nationwide, and the 9th Circuit issuing a more limited injunction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During a court hearing on Monday, the 9th Circuit examined whether the asylum restrictions violate federal immigration law. The appellate judges seemed skeptical of again halting the policy nationwide.

On Friday, the former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine, Marie Yovanovitch, testified on Capitol Hill. She described the personal toll of being the target of a smear campaign led by Trump’s personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, that led to her removal and that she felt threatened by the president. During her testimony, Trump tweeted disparaging remarks about her and defended her dismissal. On Wednesday, two other career diplomats, George Kent and William Taylor Jr., also appeared before the committee, describing a shadow diplomatic effort led by Giuliani to pressure Ukraine to investigate Trump’s political rivals.

Forty-six million turkeys will be gobbled up on the big day, according to the National Turkey Federation, a trade group representing turkey farmers and processors. But this year, sides may steal the Instagram spotlight from this finicky bird that takes hours or even days, depending on whether a brine is used, to cook expertly. And in a state as big and diverse as California, some immigrant communities are finding ways to fuse this fall feast with the flavors and traditions from their homelands. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u003c/span>\u003cb>Guests:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ellen Fort, food editor, Sunset Magazine\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Gil Payumo, co-owner and chef, Se\u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">ñor\u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Sisig \u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\n",

GOP lawmakers accused them of political bias and dismissed their accounts as hearsay. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Guest:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ron Elving, senior editor and White House correspondent, NPR\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Thanksgiving\u003cbr>\n\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">In less than two weeks, millions of friends and family will gather at dinner tables across America for Thanksgiving. Forty-six million turkeys will be gobbled up on the big day, according to the National Turkey Federation, a trade group representing turkey farmers and processors. But this year, sides may steal the Instagram spotlight from this finicky bird that takes hours or even days, depending on whether a brine is used, to cook expertly. And in a state as big and diverse as California, some immigrant communities are finding ways to fuse this fall feast with the flavors and traditions from their homelands. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Two years ago, UC enlisted over 1,000 faculty throughout the system who were first-generation students themselves to step forward and mentor newcomers. In 2016, there were 88,242 first-generation undergraduates system-wide, about a quarter of them coming in as transfers from California community colleges.

All the student housing that we build has to be substantially below market rent. Plus, when students live in student housing they have better retention, they form community, we call them living and learning communities.

The Trump administration announced in September 2017 that it would end DACA protections, but lower federal courts have stepped in to keep the program alive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>President Trump tweeted Tuesday that if the Supreme Court overturns the immigrants' protections \"a deal will be made with the Dems for them to stay!\" But Trump's past promises to work with Democrats on a legislative solution for these immigrants have not led to an agreement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1194219655717642240\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump said in his tweet that many program participants are \"far from 'angels,' \" and he falsely claimed that \"some are very tough, hardened criminals.\" The program bars anyone with a felony conviction from participating.

And he hasn't.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She also complained that the administration's rationale has shifted over time and that it has mainly relied on the view that DACA is illegal, leaving no choice but to end it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In her most pointed comment, Sotomayor said the administration has failed to plainly say, \"This is about our choice to destroy lives.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Solicitor General Noel Francisco, Trump's top Supreme Court lawyer, did not directly respond to Sotomayor.

He did not seriously question the administration's argument.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, in June the chief justice surprised many observers when he cast the deciding vote to prevent the administration from adding a citizenship question to the 2020 census, despite not voicing much skepticism during arguments in the case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some DACA recipients who are part of the lawsuit against Trump's action were in the courtroom for the arguments. Many people camped out in front of the court for days for a chance at some of the few seats available to the general public. Roberts rejected a request to provide live or same-day audio of the arguments. The court will post the audio on its website on Friday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If the court agrees with the administration in the DACA case, Congress could follow up by putting the program on surer legal footing. But the absence of comprehensive immigration reform from Congress is what prompted Obama to create DACA in 2012, giving people two-year renewable reprieves from the threat of deportation while also allowing them to work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Federal courts struck down an expansion of DACA and the creation of similar protections for undocumented immigrants whose children are U.S. citizens.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump's anti-immigrant rhetoric was a key part of his presidential campaign in 2016, and his administration pointed to the invalidation of the expansion and the threat of a lawsuit against DACA by Texas and other Republican-led states as reasons to bring the program to a halt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Young immigrants, civil rights groups, universities and Democratic-led cities and states sued to block the administration. They persuaded courts in New York, San Francisco and Washington, D.C., that the administration had been \"arbitrary and capricious\" in its actions, in violation of a federal law that requires policy changes to be done in an orderly way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California Attorney General Xavier Becerra called Tuesday an important day for DACA recipients, also known as Dreamers, and for the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It was a fight for the values that have made America the beacon of hope around the world, the place that people wish to come to live out their dreams,\" Becerra said. \"And I believe that nine justices heard why we must continue to have that as our legacy ... I think it also stood out that the actions by the Trump administration were not only unlawful, but were unwise and would be consequential for so many Americans.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>KQED's Farida Jhabvala Romero contributed reporting to this post.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

Many people camped out in front of the court for days for a chance at some of the few seats available to the general public.
