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 details of the two frauds are currently under seal. In an earlier phase of the case, Bovis and then-Public Works Director Mohammed Nuru were both charged in January with one count of honest services wire fraud, allegedly consisting of a never-completed scheme to bribe an San Francisco International Airport commissioner for aid in obtaining a restaurant\u003cbr>\nconcession in 2018.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the plea agreement, Bovis says he will plead guilty to one count of honest services wire fraud, defined as attempting to defraud the public of the honest services of a public official through a bribery scheme that used a wire communication, and a second count of using a wire communication to carry out a fraud scheme. A list of supporting facts that he admits to is under seal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bovis also agreed to cooperate with the U.S. Attorney’s Office in interviews and testimony and to provide documents in the case.

The details of the two frauds are currently under seal. In an earlier phase of the case, Bovis and then-Public Works Director Mohammed Nuru were both charged in January with one count of honest services wire fraud, allegedly consisting of a never-completed scheme to bribe an San Francisco International Airport commissioner for aid in obtaining a restaurant\u003cbr>\nconcession in 2018.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the plea agreement, Bovis says he will plead guilty to one count of honest services wire fraud, defined as attempting to defraud the public of the honest services of a public official through a bribery scheme that used a wire communication, and a second count of using a wire communication to carry out a fraud scheme. A list of supporting facts that he admits to is under seal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bovis also agreed to cooperate with the U.S. Attorney’s Office in interviews and testimony and to provide documents in the case. The agreement says prosecutors may ask for a reduced sentence if they decide Bovis has “provided substantial assistance to law enforcement authorities.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

There is a fixed rate.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Critics say the interest rate and other conditions on the 4-year loan ought to be disclosed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We've never seen [the terms],\" attorney Steven Kane told Montali on Tuesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an interview with KQED on Monday, Watts said he was not at liberty to reveal the interest rate on the loan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I would love to tell you what it is. But my counter-parties will not allow me to say it because I believe it to be more favorable than what they're willing to offer on the open market,” Watts said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So I have to honor my contractual agreement of confidentiality, although I would love to scream from the mountaintops what the interest rate is.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kane also surprised some parties to the case by noting that Watts – who is not licensed to practice law in California – never petitioned to participate in this case. Watts filed a request for that permission Tuesday afternoon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Gavin Newsom now has yet another ticked-off challenger to face in court: an extremely disappointed bride-to-be.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the latest filing to challenge the state’s response to the coronavirus pandemic, Monica Six, an Orange County resident, is suing California’s Democratic governor for civil rights violations after his executive order “caused her significant financial hardship as well as ruined her idyllic wedding plans to get married in a special anniversary.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In suing the state, Six is in crowded company. The state of California, and Newsom in particular, are facing down more than a dozen lawsuits over their response to the coronavirus pandemic. \u003ca href=\"#tracker\">Find details on all of them in the tracker below\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The courtroom backlash is no surprise. The restrictions that the governor’s March 19 stay-at-home order have imposed on California civic and economic life are without precedent in state history. Many public health experts, both inside and outside the administration, say such drastic measures are necessary to tamp down the coronavirus pandemic and keep hospitals from becoming overwhelmed. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But drastic measures they are. Beyond canceled weddings, it has spelled financial calamity for households, business owners, nonprofits and city governments across the state. They have also tested the limits of executive power and the negotiability of many constitutional rights.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most of the lawsuits against Newsom challenge the broad restrictions imposed by the shelter-in-place orders. Others contest the governor’s offer of state assistance to undocumented immigrants, his targeted closure of beaches in Orange County, the refusal to list gun shops as essential services and the arrest of two protestors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though the state is taking flak from an array of aggrieved Californians — gondoliers, conservative politicians and a Butte County musician reduced to playing his saxophone over Zoom are among the plaintiffs — there is a common denominator for most of these lawsuits: Her name is Harmeet Dhillon. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of the more than a dozen shutdown lawsuits against Newsom thus far, the San Francisco attorney and Republican Party bigwig is representing plaintiffs in nine of them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The governor, Dhillon said, “went from ‘let’s flatten the curve for two weeks’ to ‘let’s put everyone under house arrest until we find a cure.’ ” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More than 2,500 Californians have died of COVID-19, the respiratory disease caused by the novel coronavirus. Dhillon said she does not make light of that tragedy, but does not believe it justifies shuttering society.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We do not shut down our highways because people die in car accidents,” she said. “We do not ban commerce because people die of lung disease after buying cigarettes. There’s a whole range of health issues that we manage with an acceptable level of risk.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11817690\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/05/BANG_Harmeet-Dhillon-James-Damore_051120-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11817690\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/05/BANG_Harmeet-Dhillon-James-Damore_051120-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/05/BANG_Harmeet-Dhillon-James-Damore_051120-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/05/BANG_Harmeet-Dhillon-James-Damore_051120-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/05/BANG_Harmeet-Dhillon-James-Damore_051120-1920x1280.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/05/BANG_Harmeet-Dhillon-James-Damore_051120.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">James Damore, a former Google employee who wrote a controversial diversity memo, appears alongside attorney Harmeet Dhillon during a press conference on Jan. 8, 2018, in San Francisco, announcing a lawsuit against his former employer. \u003ccite>(Karl Mondon/Bay Area News Group)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Public health experts \u003ca href=\"https://www.propublica.org/article/this-coronavirus-is-unlike-anything-in-our-lifetime-and-we-have-to-stop-comparing-it-to-the-flu\">argue\u003c/a> that because the coronavirus is so contagious, unlike car accidents and lung cancer, “managing” the risk of an overwhelmed medical system requires tighter restrictions on social control. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A recent study published with the \u003ca href=\"https://www.nber.org/papers/w26992?utm_campaign=Economic%20Studies&utm_medium=email&utm_content=87636981&utm_source=hs_email\">National Bureau of Economic Research\u003c/a> estimated that the state’s shelter-in-place order resulted in 1,661 fewer deaths, which, the authors reasoned, works out to “about 400 job losses per life saved.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dhillon has long played the role of counter-puncher to the progressive ambitions of state Democrats, who now hold every state constitutional office and a big supermajority in the Legislature. When lawmakers passed \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/blogs/california-election-2020/2019/11/california-trump-tax-return-law-struck-down/\">a bill requiring President Trump\u003c/a> to publish his taxes in order to appear on the ballot, it was Dhillon, the Republican Party’s national committeewoman from California, who filed suit on behalf of the California GOP. Last year, she \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/blogs/california-election-2020/2019/10/california-trump-taxes-illegal-votes-fraud-tax-return-conservatives-lawsuit/\">sued Secretary of State Alex Padilla\u003c/a> for, she argued, failing to do enough to exclude non-citizens from county voter rolls. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Along the way, Dhillon has cobbled together a small phalanx of California Republicans to help her wage war against the liberal powers that be. Mark Meuser, who ran for secretary of state in 2018 on an anti-voter-fraud plank, is on her team. In a handful of the pandemic-era cases she’s joined by Bill Essayli — a young former prosecutor \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/blogs/2018/05/im-not-running-for-president-how-the-california-republican-party-tries-to-put-on-a-new-face-in-the-era-of-trump/\">who unsuccessfully ran for Assembly\u003c/a> in 2018.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"More Coronavirus Coverage\" tag=\"coronavirus\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even when she isn’t suing the state, Dhillon’s name has a way of popping up whenever a new culture war flashpoint breaks out in California. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Recall when software engineer James Damore sued Google after being fired for \u003ca href=\"https://assets.documentcloud.org/documents/3914586/Googles-Ideological-Echo-Chamber.pdf\">circulating a memo\u003c/a> asserting that the underrepresentation of women in tech had a biological basis?

Gavin Newsom now has yet another ticked-off challenger to face in court: an extremely disappointed bride-to-be.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the latest filing to challenge the state’s response to the coronavirus pandemic, Monica Six, an Orange County resident, is suing California’s Democratic governor for civil rights violations after his executive order “caused her significant financial hardship as well as ruined her idyllic wedding plans to get married in a special anniversary.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In suing the state, Six is in crowded company. The state of California, and Newsom in particular, are facing down more than a dozen lawsuits over their response to the coronavirus pandemic. \u003ca href=\"#tracker\">Find details on all of them in the tracker below\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The courtroom backlash is no surprise. The restrictions that the governor’s March 19 stay-at-home order have imposed on California civic and economic life are without precedent in state history. Many public health experts, both inside and outside the administration, say such drastic measures are necessary to tamp down the coronavirus pandemic and keep hospitals from becoming overwhelmed. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But drastic measures they are. Beyond canceled weddings, it has spelled financial calamity for households, business owners, nonprofits and city governments across the state. They have also tested the limits of executive power and the negotiability of many constitutional rights.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Others contest the governor’s offer of state assistance to undocumented immigrants, his targeted closure of beaches in Orange County, the refusal to list gun shops as essential services and the arrest of two protestors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though the state is taking flak from an array of aggrieved Californians — gondoliers, conservative politicians and a Butte County musician reduced to playing his saxophone over Zoom are among the plaintiffs — there is a common denominator for most of these lawsuits: Her name is Harmeet Dhillon. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of the more than a dozen shutdown lawsuits against Newsom thus far, the San Francisco attorney and Republican Party bigwig is representing plaintiffs in nine of them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The governor, Dhillon said, “went from ‘let’s flatten the curve for two weeks’ to ‘let’s put everyone under house arrest until we find a cure.’ ” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More than 2,500 Californians have died of COVID-19, the respiratory disease caused by the novel coronavirus. Dhillon said she does not make light of that tragedy, but does not believe it justifies shuttering society.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We do not shut down our highways because people die in car accidents,” she said. “We do not ban commerce because people die of lung disease after buying cigarettes.

Last year, she \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/blogs/california-election-2020/2019/10/california-trump-taxes-illegal-votes-fraud-tax-return-conservatives-lawsuit/\">sued Secretary of State Alex Padilla\u003c/a> for, she argued, failing to do enough to exclude non-citizens from county voter rolls. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Along the way, Dhillon has cobbled together a small phalanx of California Republicans to help her wage war against the liberal powers that be. Mark Meuser, who ran for secretary of state in 2018 on an anti-voter-fraud plank, is on her team. In a handful of the pandemic-era cases she’s joined by Bill Essayli — a young former prosecutor \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/blogs/2018/05/im-not-running-for-president-how-the-california-republican-party-tries-to-put-on-a-new-face-in-the-era-of-trump/\">who unsuccessfully ran for Assembly\u003c/a> in 2018.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

If the income is higher, the amount varies. Individual taxpayers' children also qualify for $500 per child under the age of 17.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Carmen said she pays income tax every year using her ITIN. Before the pandemic she worked two jobs in the food industry — one at a catering company and another at a pizzeria.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is the first time I'm home without an income,\" she said. \"I'm using my voice to advocate on behalf of my daughter.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Carmen came to the U.S. from Lima, Peru, in 2001. She said she's concerned about her and her daughter's future in this pandemic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's a hard reality we are living,\" she said, pleading with public officials not to abandon children like hers during the crisis. \"I hope their hearts soften and their minds open to see that our children are also the future of the country.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mary McCord is the lead attorney for the class-action lawsuit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The lawsuit is based on the equal protection violation of the CARES Act that discriminates and excludes U.S. children,\" said McCord, a visiting professor at Georgetown University Law Center. \"It's one thing to discriminate against the undocumented immigrants, which our system does, but it's a whole different thing to discriminate against U.S. citizen children.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_11812710 hero='https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/04/1920_GettyImages-522274800-1-1020x680.jpg']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McCord estimates there are millions of children of undocumented immigrants in the country and said that these youths are being \"treated as second-class citizens\" with the denial of the CARES Act benefit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More importantly, McCord said, it's nonsensical to deny these U.S. citizen children the benefit of the relief package because they already qualify for other public benefit programs such as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP benefits, as well as Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, or TANF.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Under the Constitution, U.S. citizens cannot be discriminated against based on alienage,\" McCord said. \"These children have no say in who they're born to, and yet they're being treated differently than other U.S. citizen children. And that's why so many of the other public benefits programs still do cover U.S. citizen children, because otherwise it would be discriminatory.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nicholas Katz, CASA's senior manager of legal services, said the way the CARES Act is being implemented runs counter to its promise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The purpose of the CARES Act is to help the most vulnerable members of our society during this difficult time,\" Katz said in written statements. \"Immigrants make up almost a fifth of [front-line] workers during this pandemic. It is an absolute outrage that we are relying on immigrant families to care for our loved ones and provide our essential supplies and yet denying their children the support they are entitled to as U.S. citizens.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This case doesn't have a precedent, though two lawsuits in Maryland and Illinois have been filed against the U.S. government on behalf of couples of mixed immigration status. They were denied CARES Act relief because one of them is an undocumented immigrant, while the other is a U.S. citizen. \u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2020 NPR.

But over the course of the past six years, the \u003ca href=\"http://ncip.org\">Northern California Innocence Project\u003c/a> helped expose \u003ca href=\"http://ncip.org/jeremy-puckett/\">numerous problems\u003c/a> with Puckett’s prosecution that were never presented to the jury — including an alibi, a recantation from the perpetrator who originally implicated Puckett and significant evidence that included 700 pages of materials the government withheld from him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although happy to be home with his family in Sacramento, Puckett has entered a much different world than he’d envisioned just months ago.
