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.",

But as technological developments make it increasingly difficult to sort fake from real news, and to crack down on the dissemination of false information once it finds its way online, lawmakers like Berman are struggling to find some way to fight back.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t want to wake up after the 2020 election, like we did in 2016, and say, ‘dang, we should have done more,’” said Berman.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But there is at least one limit on what can be done.

The enactment of laws such as the one Berman proposes would “force the courts to really reconcile the whole body of First Amendment law with these new phenomenon.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The method behind “deepfakery” is technically sophisticated, but its producers don’t need to be. These days, anyone with access to a YouTube tutorial and enough computing power can produce their own videographic forgery.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=forum_2010101870062,science_1943376]Hence the proliferation of so many comedic or satirical deepfakes. Some strive to make a point, like the one created by Peele or a more recent depiction of Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/video/business/technology/mark-zuckerberg-deepfake-will-remain-online/2019/06/12/4171916e-a25b-4842-9bf6-f5d07512055a_video.html?utm_term=.efa39a49afbc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">bragging about stealing your data\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Others are just internet-grade goofy. Consider the Q&A with the actress Jennifer Lawrence who speaks to reporters with the face of Steve Buscemi. (When shown the fake on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Buscemi seemed remarkably unfazed: “I’ve never looked better,” he said).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the technology has, of course, been used for seedier purposes. The most popular application seems to be pornographic, with online forgers digitally grafting the faces of Hollywood celebrities onto the bodies of adult film actresses — without the knowledge or consent of either party.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the case of Rana Ayyub, an Indian investigative journalist, the use was even more sinister. Last year, a fake sex video “starring” Ayyub was leaked online in an act of apparent retribution for her reporting that was sharply critical of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party. As Ayyub told \u003ca href=\"https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/deepfake-porn_uk_5bf2c126e4b0f32bd58ba316?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAFn7uAoruECGNzWpzYqYO_NQMLqM6cYcWAtBMO4-MRmywYLQN3lFfiZCLAB_Nbmp6wDfpS-LxrSyB9Yt6M9srDAM9lAqoL43aBqiRm1XTPJLCaDF9BEXyCJC6XZQM2CwjE0aw7t5kOKoYMJP3LEc75cNOJbxx7Yy5-973ESE-szo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Huffington Post\u003c/a>, the harassment and humiliation that followed sent her to the hospital with heart palpitations and led her to withdraw from online life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier this year, Berman introduced another bill that would give anyone involuntarily depicted in a sexually explicit video — including a digital fake — the right to sue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it seems only a matter of time before someone attempts to use the method for political purposes, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That conclusion was reinforced a few weeks ago when an edited video of \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2019/05/23/faked-pelosi-videos-slowed-make-her-appear-drunk-spread-across-social-media/?utm_term=.6dad5f36a763\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Nancy Pelosi went viral\u003c/a>, in which the Democratic Speaker of the House appeared to be slurring her words as if drunk or cognitively impaired.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The video wasn’t a deepfake. Rather than use machine-learning algorithms, its producers opted for the more primitive technological methods of slowing down the footage and raising the pitch of the voice. But it still elicited a wave of bipartisan angst about the threat that forged video poses to our democratic institutions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier this month, Florida GOP Sen. Marco Rubio characterized “very realistic fake videos” as a national security threat akin to aircraft carriers and nuclear weapons. And at a House hearing earlier this month, Democratic Congressman Adam Schiff from Burbank warned of the possible “nightmarish scenario” in which “a state-backed actor creates a deepfake video of a political candidate accepting a bribe.” Just as worrisome, he said, the mere existence of deepfakes allows bad actors to more convincingly dismiss real information as fake.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/Heritage/status/1020289722634076160\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But some civil liberties groups are concerned that lawmakers will overreact.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Congress must tread carefully if it seeks to address the actual problem without censoring lawful and socially valuable speech — such as parodies and satires,” analysts with the Electronic Frontier Foundation wrote in response to the hearing. The Foundation said they are reviewing Berman’s bill and do not yet have a position on it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tompros said it would be difficult to craft a law banning socially harmful deepfakes without sweeping up more traditional forms of political speech.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Is it a ‘deceptive audio or visual media’ if, for example, I take a ten minute very nuanced policy speech and I clip out five seconds in the middle where it sounds like the person is taking an extreme position?” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lArPEDS0GTA\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under that standard, a significant share of attack ads produced over the last half-century would be illegal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, Berman’s proposal is much narrower than past legislative attempts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2017, Assemblyman Ed Chau, a Democrat from Monterey Park, introduced a bill that would have banned the online dissemination of any false information about a political candidate. Chau pulled the bill in the face of fierce pushback from civil liberties groups.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The focus on video and audio specifically could put this year’s proposal on firmer legal ground, said Eugene Volokh, a UCLA law professor and founder of \u003ca href=\"https://reason.com/volokh/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Volokh Conspiracy\u003c/a>, a law blog hosted by the libertarian magazine, Reason.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unlike a comment on climate change or the fiscal impact of tax legislation, where there is plenty of “dispute about what the actual truth is … with altered video or altered images at least the person who is originating it will tend to know what’s true and what’s false,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='medium' align='right' citation=' Louis Tompros, lawyer]‘Is it a ‘deceptive audio or visual media’ if, for example, I take a ten minute very nuanced policy speech and I clip out five seconds in the middle where it sounds like the person is taking an extreme position.’[/pullquote]He points to the 24 states that have criminal defamation laws that make it a punishable offense to knowingly or recklessly spread false information about a person. The U.S. Supreme Court has generally allowed these laws to remain on the books, although civil liberties organizations are fighting to change that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Berman said his bill falls into that same category.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There are restrictions around the First Amendment, including around the issue of fraud,” said Berman. “I don’t think the First Amendment applies to somebody’s ability to put fake words in my mouth.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That might have once been a figure of speech, but no more. In the latest iteration of the technology, a few researchers at Adobe and American and German universities, produced a \u003ca href=\"https://www.ohadf.com/projects/text-based-editing/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">new editing method\u003c/a> that allows anyone to insert new words into a video transcript and have a person in the video speak them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The effect: using technology to literally put words into someone else’s mouth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the researchers showed their creations to a small survey of viewers, more than half mistook the fakes for the real thing.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Some strive to make a point, like the one created by Peele or a more recent depiction of Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/video/business/technology/mark-zuckerberg-deepfake-will-remain-online/2019/06/12/4171916e-a25b-4842-9bf6-f5d07512055a_video.html?utm_term=.efa39a49afbc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">bragging about stealing your data\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Others are just internet-grade goofy. Consider the Q&A with the actress Jennifer Lawrence who speaks to reporters with the face of Steve Buscemi. (When shown the fake on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Buscemi seemed remarkably unfazed: “I’ve never looked better,” he said).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the technology has, of course, been used for seedier purposes. The most popular application seems to be pornographic, with online forgers digitally grafting the faces of Hollywood celebrities onto the bodies of adult film actresses — without the knowledge or consent of either party.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the case of Rana Ayyub, an Indian investigative journalist, the use was even more sinister. Last year, a fake sex video “starring” Ayyub was leaked online in an act of apparent retribution for her reporting that was sharply critical of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party. As Ayyub told \u003ca href=\"https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/deepfake-porn_uk_5bf2c126e4b0f32bd58ba316?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAFn7uAoruECGNzWpzYqYO_NQMLqM6cYcWAtBMO4-MRmywYLQN3lFfiZCLAB_Nbmp6wDfpS-LxrSyB9Yt6M9srDAM9lAqoL43aBqiRm1XTPJLCaDF9BEXyCJC6XZQM2CwjE0aw7t5kOKoYMJP3LEc75cNOJbxx7Yy5-973ESE-szo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Huffington Post\u003c/a>, the harassment and humiliation that followed sent her to the hospital with heart palpitations and led her to withdraw from online life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier this year, Berman introduced another bill that would give anyone involuntarily depicted in a sexually explicit video — including a digital fake — the right to sue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it seems only a matter of time before someone attempts to use the method for political purposes, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That conclusion was reinforced a few weeks ago when an edited video of \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2019/05/23/faked-pelosi-videos-slowed-make-her-appear-drunk-spread-across-social-media/?utm_term=.6dad5f36a763\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Nancy Pelosi went viral\u003c/a>, in which the Democratic Speaker of the House appeared to be slurring her words as if drunk or cognitively impaired.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The video wasn’t a deepfake. Rather than use machine-learning algorithms, its producers opted for the more primitive technological methods of slowing down the footage and raising the pitch of the voice. But it still elicited a wave of bipartisan angst about the threat that forged video poses to our democratic institutions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier this month, Florida GOP Sen. Marco Rubio characterized “very realistic fake videos” as a national security threat akin to aircraft carriers and nuclear weapons. And at a House hearing earlier this month, Democratic Congressman Adam Schiff from Burbank warned of the possible “nightmarish scenario” in which “a state-backed actor creates a deepfake video of a political candidate accepting a bribe.” Just as worrisome, he said, the mere existence of deepfakes allows bad actors to more convincingly dismiss real information as fake.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

On Monday, the city planning department also filed \u003ca href=\"https://sfgov.legistar.com/View.ashx?M=F&ID=7320873&GUID=3894B147-2F39-452D-97C9-9F160C549030\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">its response\u003c/a> to the appeal, saying it found the proposed project was “consistent with the cited exemption.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag='navigation-center' label='Navigation Centers in San Francisco']The navigation center elicited a succession of heated, sometimes vitriolic community meetings about the project, attended by staunch advocates for and against the plan. The strongest pushback comes from residents of the South Beach, Rincon Hill and Mission Bay neighborhoods, amid concerns that the facility would transform the tourist-heavy neighborhood into a dirty, crime-ridden area and reduce property values.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco opened its first homeless navigation center in 2015 and currently operates six throughout the city. Unlike traditional shelters, the centers allow occupants to bring pets and don’t make them leave in the morning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The proposed Embarcadero SAFE Navigation Center is a critical part of Breed’s campaign pledge to open 1,000 new shelter beds by the end of 2020. The city is leasing the port-owned land for two years for nearly $37,000 a month, and will have the option of renewing for an additional two years if it can demonstrate the center has helped reduce homelessness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID='forum_2010101871691']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>First proposed in early March by Breed, controversy over the center erupted weeks later after a group of neighborhood residents started an online fundraiser to challenge the plan in court. That campaign, in turn, provoked a dueling fundraiser among supporters of the proposal, one that quickly eclipsed its rival and got major contributions from several high-profile tech CEOs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The two fundraisers underscore just how divided San Franciscans are on the issue of homelessness and how to address it.

It’s also the fourth straight month the agency has broken its record for family arrests. Meanwhile, Mexican officials are trying to avert the tariffs by agreeing to increased immigration enforcement and changing asylum rules to make it easier for the Trump administration to deport migrants from Central America. Also, House Democrats passed a bill on Tuesday that would protect more than 2 million undocumented migrants in the U.S. from deportation, including hundreds of thousands of “Dreamers,” who were brought to the U.S. illegally as children. The Republican-controlled Senate, however, is unlikely to take up the measure, which does not contain any funding for a border wall. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Guests:\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Professor Deep Gulasekaram, Santa Clara University School of Law\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sean Walsh, Republican strategist, Wilson Walsh Consulting\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>California Assemblyman Rob Bonta\u003cbr>\n\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">In 2012, Rob Bonta became the first Filipino-American elected to the California State Legislature.

Another bill he introduced would phase out the state’s use of private, for-profit prison facilities by 2028. Former Gov.

It’s also the fourth straight month the agency has broken its record for family arrests. Meanwhile, Mexican officials are trying to avert the tariffs by agreeing to increased immigration enforcement and changing asylum rules to make it easier for the Trump administration to deport migrants from Central America. Also, House Democrats passed a bill on Tuesday that would protect more than 2 million undocumented migrants in the U.S. from deportation, including hundreds of thousands of “Dreamers,” who were brought to the U.S. illegally as children. The Republican-controlled Senate, however, is unlikely to take up the measure, which does not contain any funding for a border wall. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Guests:\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Professor Deep Gulasekaram, Santa Clara University School of Law\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sean Walsh, Republican strategist, Wilson Walsh Consulting\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>California Assemblyman Rob Bonta\u003cbr>\n\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">In 2012, Rob Bonta became the first Filipino-American elected to the California State Legislature. Since then the East Bay assemblyman has tackled a number of issues, including housing, regulating the cannabis industry and advocating for criminal justice reforms. This session, he is sponsoring a bill that would require landlords to show just cause before they evict renters living in units that are more than 10 years old. Another bill he introduced would phase out the state’s use of private, for-profit prison facilities by 2028. Former Gov. Jerry Brown vetoed a similar measure Bonta had authored that passed with bipartisan support last year. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Guest:\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> California Assemblyman Rob Bonta, D-Oakland \u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Julian Guthrie’s “Alpha Girls”\u003cbr>\n\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">From gender pay gaps at tech giants such as Google and Amazon to sexual harassment and gender discrimination to raising venture capital for their startups, the struggles of women in Silicon Valley are well-documented.

John Delaney (Maryland)\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">If there’s one of the 14 Democratic presidential candidates who spoke this weekend that few could tell you anything about, it’s Maryland Congressman John Delaney. But that changed today — and not in a good way — at least for the few hundred delegates who stuck around long to hear the final candidate speak. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Delaney got booed — louder and longer than former Gov. John Hickenlooper yesterday after Delaney attacked the idea of single payer health care, which is a touchstone for many in the California Democratic Party.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Delaney said the so-called \u003cem>Medicare for All\u003c/em> “would kick millions of Americans off their existing health insurance,” cementing his status as the least-loved candidate this weekend.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The booing prompted the party’s acting chair Alexandra Gallardo-Rooker to say “ can we now continue the speeches with dignity and respect for he rest of our speakers?”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Former Mayor Julian Castro (Texas)\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The former mayor of San Antonio, Texas was introduced by his congressman brother Joaquin.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“A lot of times I need a name tag,” Julian Castro joked about frequent confusion with his brother. “He says I’m a minute uglier than he is, which is not true.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Castro had the unfortunate chore of speaking right after Bernie Sanders, whose supporters mostly left the hall after his speech. Given that California has a large and growing Latino population, it’s a little surprising that Castro, who attended Stanford as an undergrad and has ties to the Bay Area, doesn’t have more of an organized presence here in California. But he doesn’t.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Castro used his time to tell his increasingly well known family story. “My mom was a hell raiser in the early Chicana movement,” Castro said. He invoked the memory of his grandmother, who had a foot amputated because of diabetes before pledging to “strengthen Medicare and make sure it’s available to every single person in this country.” But he was vague about what exactly that meant or how he would do it.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The crowd, by now scant, seemed most aroused by Castro’s description of inequality in the criminal justice system. After noting approvingly that white supremacist Dylann Roof was convicted of killing nine African Americans in a Charleston, South Carolina church in 2015, Castro said “what about Eric Garner … and across the Bay Stephon Clark? They need justice too,” he said referring to unarmed people of color who died at the hands of police.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Castro, in a reference to President Trump’s immigration policies, said what he looked forward to most if he is elected is the traditional “changing of the guard” walk from the White House to the inauguration at the U.S. Capitol with the outgoing and incoming presidents and their spouses. “What I’ll say is, adios.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sen.

Sanders was slated to talk on Sunday — usually most of the out-of-town delegates have headed for the airport by then. There was some thought that perhaps it was intended to help keep the most liberal activists around long enough to vote for Kimberly Ellis in a much-expected Sunday runoff for party chair. But with Rusty Hicks sewing it up in the first round last night, Sanders ended up playing to a much smaller crowd than Saturday’s speakers.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">But Sanders wasted no time doing what others have done this weekend — obliquely criticizing Joe Biden without mentioning his name.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“In my view we will not defeat Donald Trump unless we bring excitement and energy into the campaign. We have to give millions of working people and young people a reason to vote and a reason to believe that politics is relevant to their lives,” Sanders said.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sanders, thanked those who supported his 2016 campaign for president saying “today we take that revolution forward.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Adding to the weekend’s pile of insults and criticisms of President Trump, Sanders called him “the worst president in the history of this country — a president who is racist, sexist, homophobic and a religious bigot.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Citing a litany of issues including health care, gun control, making corporations pay their fair of taxes “including Amazon” and abortion, Sanders said repeatedly “there is no middle ground.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sanders certainly still has his army of supporters in California, but as the convention winds down there is a sense that as Sen. Elizabeth Warren rises, Sanders will fall, losing support to the candidate President Trump derides as “Pocahontas.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Many delegates and other party insiders say Warren’s \u003cem>tour de force\u003c/em> performance Saturday put her on the radar for many people who were supporting Kamala Harris or Sen.

John Delaney (Maryland)\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">If there’s one of the 14 Democratic presidential candidates who spoke this weekend that few could tell you anything about, it’s Maryland Congressman John Delaney. But that changed today — and not in a good way — at least for the few hundred delegates who stuck around long to hear the final candidate speak. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Delaney got booed — louder and longer than former Gov. John Hickenlooper yesterday after Delaney attacked the idea of single payer health care, which is a touchstone for many in the California Democratic Party.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Delaney said the so-called \u003cem>Medicare for All\u003c/em> “would kick millions of Americans off their existing health insurance,” cementing his status as the least-loved candidate this weekend.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The booing prompted the party’s acting chair Alexandra Gallardo-Rooker to say “ can we now continue the speeches with dignity and respect for he rest of our speakers?”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Former Mayor Julian Castro (Texas)\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The former mayor of San Antonio, Texas was introduced by his congressman brother Joaquin.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“A lot of times I need a name tag,” Julian Castro joked about frequent confusion with his brother. “He says I’m a minute uglier than he is, which is not true.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Castro had the unfortunate chore of speaking right after Bernie Sanders, whose supporters mostly left the hall after his speech. Given that California has a large and growing Latino population, it’s a little surprising that Castro, who attended Stanford as an undergrad and has ties to the Bay Area, doesn’t have more of an organized presence here in California. But he doesn’t.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Castro used his time to tell his increasingly well known family story. “My mom was a hell raiser in the early Chicana movement,” Castro said. He invoked the memory of his grandmother, who had a foot amputated because of diabetes before pledging to “strengthen Medicare and make sure it’s available to every single person in this country.” But he was vague about what exactly that meant or how he would do it.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The crowd, by now scant, seemed most aroused by Castro’s description of inequality in the criminal justice system.

Sanders was slated to talk on Sunday — usually most of the out-of-town delegates have headed for the airport by then. There was some thought that perhaps it was intended to help keep the most liberal activists around long enough to vote for Kimberly Ellis in a much-expected Sunday runoff for party chair. But with Rusty Hicks sewing it up in the first round last night, Sanders ended up playing to a much smaller crowd than Saturday’s speakers.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">But Sanders wasted no time doing what others have done this weekend — obliquely criticizing Joe Biden without mentioning his name.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“In my view we will not defeat Donald Trump unless we bring excitement and energy into the campaign.
