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.",

We needed people that could give us the insight and understanding of how the system works or doesn’t work,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hollins believes the poll findings show that the victims’ rights conversation has been co-opted by law enforcement and more privileged Californians who don’t suffer from either the bulk of victimization or the consequences of having community members locked up in prison.\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Eric Swalwell, who served as a House manager in Donald Trump’s last impeachment trial, filed a lawsuit Friday against the former president, his son, lawyer and a Republican congressman whose actions he charges led to January’s insurrection.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California Democrat’s suit, filed in federal court in Washington, alleges a conspiracy to violate civil rights, along with negligence, inciting a riot and inflicting emotional distress. It follows a similar suit filed by Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Mississippi, last month in an attempt to hold the former president accountable in some way for his actions Jan. 6, following his Senate acquittal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Swalwell charges that Trump, his son Donald Jr., along with former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani and Republican Rep. Mo Brooks of Alabama, had made “false and incendiary allegations of fraud and theft, and in direct response to the Defendant’s express calls for violence at the rally, a violent mob attacked the U.S. Capitol.” [aside tag=\"politics,capitol-insurrection\" label=\"related coverage\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lawsuit spells out in detail how the Trumps, Giuliani and Brooks spread baseless claims of election fraud, both before and after the 2020 presidential election was declared, and charges that they helped to spin up the thousands of rioters before they stormed the Capitol. Five people died as a result of the violence on Jan. 6, including a U.S. Capitol Police officer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump’s spokesman, Jason Miller, called Swalwell a “low-life” with “no credibility.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Now, after failing miserably with two impeachment hoaxes,” Swalwell is attacking “our greatest President with yet another witch hunt,” Miller said in a statement. “It’s a disgrace that a compromised Member of Congress like Swalwell still sits on the House Intelligence Committee.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brooks said the lawsuit was frivolous and “a meritless ploy.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I make no apologies whatsoever for fighting for accurate and honest elections,” he said, adding he wore the lawsuit “like a badge of courage.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lawsuit, through Trump’s own words, accuses the former president of inciting the riot, using much of the same playbook used by Swalwell and others during Trump’s impeachment trial — that his lies over the election results stirred supporters into the false belief the 2020 election had been stolen, that he egged the angry mob on through his rally speech and that he did nothing when faced with the images of throngs of his supporters smashing windows at the U.S. Capitol and sending lawmakers fleeing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Those with knowledge claimed that during this moment of national horror, Trump was ‘delighted’ and was ‘confused about why other people on his team weren’t as excited as he was.’ Others described Trump as ‘borderline enthusiastic’ about the unfolding violence,” according to the suit. [ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unlike Thompson’s lawsuit — filed against Trump, Giuliani and some far-right extremist groups whose members are alleged to have participated in the insurrection — Swalwell’s did not specify whether he was filing in his personal or official capacity, which would require additional approvals from the House and involve House attorneys.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both lawsuits cite a federal civil rights law that was enacted to counter the Ku Klux Klan’s intimidation of officials. Swalwell’s attorney, Philip Andonian, praised Thompson’s lawsuit, filed under a Reconstruction-era law called the Ku Klux Klan Act, and said they were behind it 100%, but saw the need for this one, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We see ourselves as having a different angle to this, holding Trump accountable for the incitement, the disinformation,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Presidents are historically afforded broad immunity from lawsuits for actions they take in their role as commander in chief. But the lawsuit, like the one by Thompson, was brought against Trump in his personal, not official, capacity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Swalwell also describes in detail being trapped in the House chamber with many other members of Congress as plainclothes Capitol Police officers barricaded the doors and tried to fend off the mob at gunpoint.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">[pullquote size='medium' align='right' citation='Attorney Philip Andonian']‘We see ourselves as having a different angle to this, holding Trump accountable for the incitement, the disinformation,’[/pullquote]\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Fearing for their lives, the Plaintiff and others masked their identities as members of Congress, texted loved ones in case the worst happened, and took shelter throughout the Capitol complex,” the lawsuit reads.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lawsuit alleges that Brooks “conspired with the other Defendants to undermine the election results by alleging, without evidence, that the election had been rigged and by pressuring elected officials, courts, and ultimately Congress to reject the results.” It notes that he spoke at a rally supporting Trump at the Ellipse, near the White House, shortly before thousands of pro-Trump rioters made their way to the Capitol and overwhelmed police officers to shove their way inside the building.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The suit seeks unspecified damages, and Swalwell also wants a court to order all of the defendants to provide written notice to him a week before they plan to have a rally in Washington that would draw more than 50 people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/ericswalwell/status/1367866576641421314?s=20\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Unable to accept defeat, Donald Trump waged an all out war on a peaceful transition of power,” Swalwell said in a statement. “He lied to his followers again and again claiming the election was stolen from them, filed a mountain of frivolous lawsuits — nearly all of which failed, tried to intimidate election officials, and finally called upon his supporters to descend on Washington D.C. to ‘stop the steal.'”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Associated Press writer Lisa Mascaro contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

"content": "\u003cp>This is a story about Los Angeles — but to fully understand it, let’s start halfway across the country, in Chicago, where Kim Foxx was elected the top prosecutor five years ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Foxx won the Cook County, Illinois, district attorney post in 2016, her progressive platform was still unusual in a country that had long embraced incarceration as the answer to crime.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote align=\"right\" size=\"medium\" citation=\"George Gascón, Los Angeles County district attorney\"]‘I developed the opinion that trying to do a gradual rollout would probably create more confusion. And it would be harder than just simply putting it all out there.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So she moved slowly — first surveying prosecutors for anonymous feedback about what gaps they saw in how they did the work; then inviting them to focus groups to drill down more on possible changes to office practices. When she started rolling out policies aimed at reducing incarceration, she largely did so one at a time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the last four years, Foxx has faced her share of opposition from tough-on-crime supporters — but says she benefited from one other thing: timing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think when I came in 2016, it was a novelty almost to have someone coming in and talking about criminal justice reform as a prosecutor,” she said. “And then you saw momentum building across the country. … And there was a deliberate effort, I believe, on the right to kind of villainize what this work looks like, to villainize the progressive prosecutor being, you know, antithetical to law enforcement.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Four years later, Foxx is far from the only so-called “progressive prosecutor” running a large, urban DA’s office — voters in San Francisco, Philadelphia, Boston and a number of other large cities have also embraced the promise of reform.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This fall, that change also came to Los Angeles County, which boasts the largest local prosecutor’s office in the nation, a massive bureaucracy that covers 4,000 square miles and includes 1,000 lawyers and 38 courthouses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>George Gascón, a former San Francisco police chief and district attorney, survived a bruising battle with his tough-on-crime predecessor to \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2020-11-06/george-gascon-la-district-attorney-race-jackie-lacey-concede\">win his position\u003c/a> running the massive LA office — and unlike Foxx, he moved to make changes at warp speed: He’d barely been sworn in last December when \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2020/12/08/944396495/george-gascon-implements-sweeping-changes-to-los-angeles-district-attorneys-offi\">he issued a set of directives\u003c/a> aimed at reducing prison sentences and focusing more on rehabilitation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those directives barred prosecutors in Los Angeles from seeking the death penalty, trying juveniles as adults and filing most sentencing enhancements, including those sanctioned under the state’s three strike laws. The changes also eliminated cash bail in the massive county.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gascón said there was no time to waste and that he was simply instituting the changes he campaigned on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"related coverage\" tag=\"george-gascon\"]“I developed the opinion that trying to do a gradual rollout would probably create more confusion. And it would be harder than just simply putting it all out there and working from there,” he said. “And that was the reason for the rollout from day one. It was really a combination of my commitment to the voters and doing what I said that I was going to do and ensuring that we put it all [out there] and worked through it at the same time.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The resistance from anti-reform prosecutors was swift as well — both in and outside Gascón’s office. They joined forces to challenge some of those new policies, and in February, a judge agreed to put some of the changes on hold. Gascón said he is appealing; it’s a case widely expected to reach the state’s Supreme Court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chicago’s Foxx said the swift pushback is a far cry from what she faced as a newly elected DA — and shows how the past four years have given those opposed to reform time to regroup, and come out swinging.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m very surprised about how forceful the opposition is,” Foxx said of Gascón’s experience. “He gets sworn in on a Monday. Monday night, he’s got his deputies on television saying that they’re not going to do what he says.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prosecutors in Gascón office said their opposition wasn’t just about the policies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Those were kind of given to his deputies without any type of consultation, without any type of warning, without any type of introduction,” said Eric Siddall, vice president of the union representing deputy district attorneys in Los Angeles. “It was not done in that collaborative process. There was no dialog whatsoever.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not only were prosecutors not consulted, Siddall said, defense attorneys and the media seemed to receive the new directives at the same time they did.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it wasn’t just the process — the prosecutors union opposes the policies on the merits as well. In a lawsuit filed less than a month after Gascón took office, they challenged the ban on enhancements, a commonly used prosecutor’s tool that can add years to someone’s sentence on top of a base term.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003cbr>\nSiddall said the union isn’t trying to stymie every policy its members oppose, and that the lawsuit was narrowly crafted to challenge only the new directives that union members believe are illegal — and, when carried out, force its members to ignore their oath of office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He contends that Gascón is ignoring the law and abusing the long-standing notion of prosecutorial discretion — the power DAs hold to decide whether to charge someone with a crime, and what charges to file.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Prosecutorial discretion doesn’t mean you get to do whatever you want. It means you have to work within the bounds of the law,” said Siddall. “We’re actually not contesting Mr. Gascón’s ability to implement public policy. And if his public policy is geared around the rights of defendants and ignoring the rights of victims, that’s his prerogative. What we’re contesting is very limited parts of his directives … that are asking us to ignore what the law is.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it’s clear that Gascón’s move to dramatically change how criminal justice is carried out in the most populous county in California is seen as threatening to prosecutors beyond LA’s borders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California District Attorneys Association, the statewide group representing both elected district attorneys and line prosecutors, took the extraordinary step of joining the lawsuit against Gascón. In the past, the association has disagreed with reform-minded prosecutors like Gascón, but never challenged them in court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In our view, it’s not just the difference in policies. It’s as though he thinks, and the people he surrounded himself with think, that he has been elected or anointed king of the LA County criminal court system,” said El Dorado County District Attorney Vern Pierson, who is the association’s president.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote align=\"right\" size=\"medium\" citation=\"Vern Pierson, president of the California District Attorneys Association\"]‘It’s as though he thinks, and the people he surrounded himself with think, that he has been elected or anointed king of the LA County criminal court system.’[/pullquote]Pierson said Gascón can’t just ignore laws he doesn’t like, and that prosecutorial discretion doesn’t extend to blanket policies like the ones issued in LA. He argued district attorneys have to look at cases individually and decide what’s best in that circumstance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Over the last however many years, we’ve always advocated that the elected DA has a broad discretion to implement … different policies in San Francisco versus El Dorado County. We’ve always advocated for that, but we recognize there’s limits to it,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supporters of Gascón find this argument — that he doesn’t have the discretion to broadly decide how harshly to charge cases — pretty hypocritical, considering how carefully DAs have guarded prosecutorial discretion in the past.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Almost no one — and certainly none of the folks attacking George from the right — ever raised concerns about prosecutorial discretion when prosecutors were seeking to send people to prison for life for stealing a pizza,” said San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin, another recently elected progressive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Boudin contends that tough-on-crime prosecutors are happy to fall back on discretion when it gives them the chance to throw the book at someone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We only see those concerns being raised — not just in Los Angeles, but across the country — as an effort to undo and undermine widely popular reforms that have empirical support and that are aimed specifically at addressing a very well-understood and well-documented history of racial bias and racial discrimination within the criminal justice system,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Boudin and Kim Foxx, the Chicago prosecutor, said they believe what happens in Los Angeles could have wide-ranging implications for not just California, but the future of criminal justice reform across the nation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

When she started rolling out policies aimed at reducing incarceration, she largely did so one at a time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the last four years, Foxx has faced her share of opposition from tough-on-crime supporters — but says she benefited from one other thing: timing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think when I came in 2016, it was a novelty almost to have someone coming in and talking about criminal justice reform as a prosecutor,” she said. “And then you saw momentum building across the country. … And there was a deliberate effort, I believe, on the right to kind of villainize what this work looks like, to villainize the progressive prosecutor being, you know, antithetical to law enforcement.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Four years later, Foxx is far from the only so-called “progressive prosecutor” running a large, urban DA’s office — voters in San Francisco, Philadelphia, Boston and a number of other large cities have also embraced the promise of reform.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This fall, that change also came to Los Angeles County, which boasts the largest local prosecutor’s office in the nation, a massive bureaucracy that covers 4,000 square miles and includes 1,000 lawyers and 38 courthouses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>George Gascón, a former San Francisco police chief and district attorney, survived a bruising battle with his tough-on-crime predecessor to \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2020-11-06/george-gascon-la-district-attorney-race-jackie-lacey-concede\">win his position\u003c/a> running the massive LA office — and unlike Foxx, he moved to make changes at warp speed: He’d barely been sworn in last December when \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2020/12/08/944396495/george-gascon-implements-sweeping-changes-to-los-angeles-district-attorneys-offi\">he issued a set of directives\u003c/a> aimed at reducing prison sentences and focusing more on rehabilitation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those directives barred prosecutors in Los Angeles from seeking the death penalty, trying juveniles as adults and filing most sentencing enhancements, including those sanctioned under the state’s three strike laws. The changes also eliminated cash bail in the massive county.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gascón said there was no time to waste and that he was simply instituting the changes he campaigned on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

And it would be harder than just simply putting it all out there and working from there,” he said. “And that was the reason for the rollout from day one. It was really a combination of my commitment to the voters and doing what I said that I was going to do and ensuring that we put it all [out there] and worked through it at the same time.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The resistance from anti-reform prosecutors was swift as well — both in and outside Gascón’s office. They joined forces to challenge some of those new policies, and in February, a judge agreed to put some of the changes on hold. Gascón said he is appealing; it’s a case widely expected to reach the state’s Supreme Court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chicago’s Foxx said the swift pushback is a far cry from what she faced as a newly elected DA — and shows how the past four years have given those opposed to reform time to regroup, and come out swinging.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m very surprised about how forceful the opposition is,” Foxx said of Gascón’s experience. “He gets sworn in on a Monday. Monday night, he’s got his deputies on television saying that they’re not going to do what he says.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prosecutors in Gascón office said their opposition wasn’t just about the policies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Those were kind of given to his deputies without any type of consultation, without any type of warning, without any type of introduction,” said Eric Siddall, vice president of the union representing deputy district attorneys in Los Angeles. “It was not done in that collaborative process. There was no dialog whatsoever.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not only were prosecutors not consulted, Siddall said, defense attorneys and the media seemed to receive the new directives at the same time they did.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it wasn’t just the process — the prosecutors union opposes the policies on the merits as well. In a lawsuit filed less than a month after Gascón took office, they challenged the ban on enhancements, a commonly used prosecutor’s tool that can add years to someone’s sentence on top of a base term.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

It means you have to work within the bounds of the law,” said Siddall. “We’re actually not contesting Mr. Gascón’s ability to implement public policy. And if his public policy is geared around the rights of defendants and ignoring the rights of victims, that’s his prerogative. What we’re contesting is very limited parts of his directives … that are asking us to ignore what the law is.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it’s clear that Gascón’s move to dramatically change how criminal justice is carried out in the most populous county in California is seen as threatening to prosecutors beyond LA’s borders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California District Attorneys Association, the statewide group representing both elected district attorneys and line prosecutors, took the extraordinary step of joining the lawsuit against Gascón. In the past, the association has disagreed with reform-minded prosecutors like Gascón, but never challenged them in court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In our view, it’s not just the difference in policies. It’s as though he thinks, and the people he surrounded himself with think, that he has been elected or anointed king of the LA County criminal court system,” said El Dorado County District Attorney Vern Pierson, who is the association’s president.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

He argued district attorneys have to look at cases individually and decide what’s best in that circumstance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Over the last however many years, we’ve always advocated that the elected DA has a broad discretion to implement … different policies in San Francisco versus El Dorado County. We’ve always advocated for that, but we recognize there’s limits to it,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supporters of Gascón find this argument — that he doesn’t have the discretion to broadly decide how harshly to charge cases — pretty hypocritical, considering how carefully DAs have guarded prosecutorial discretion in the past.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Almost no one — and certainly none of the folks attacking George from the right — ever raised concerns about prosecutorial discretion when prosecutors were seeking to send people to prison for life for stealing a pizza,” said San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin, another recently elected progressive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Boudin contends that tough-on-crime prosecutors are happy to fall back on discretion when it gives them the chance to throw the book at someone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We only see those concerns being raised — not just in Los Angeles, but across the country — as an effort to undo and undermine widely popular reforms that have empirical support and that are aimed specifically at addressing a very well-understood and well-documented history of racial bias and racial discrimination within the criminal justice system,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Boudin and Kim Foxx, the Chicago prosecutor, said they believe what happens in Los Angeles could have wide-ranging implications for not just California, but the future of criminal justice reform across the nation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
