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.",

This evidence, together with newly refined satellite data available to FAA this morning, led to this decision.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=”right” citation=\"Peter Goelz, former NTSB managing director\"]‘I am beginning to be concerned about this airplane.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.faa.gov/news/updates/media/Emergency_Order.pdf\">The emergency order\u003c/a> is effective immediately. Any Boeing 737 Max 8 and Max 9 planes that were in flight when the order was issued “may proceed to and complete their soonest planned landing” — but they are not permitted to take off again. The order remains in effect until the FAA rescinds or modifies it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The FAA says it made the decision on the basis of new information it discovered in the course of investigating wreckage from the Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302. The agency says there are 74 Boeing 737 Max 8 and Max 9 planes registered in the U.S., and 387 worldwide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement Wednesday, Boeing said it “continues to have full confidence in the safety of the 737 MAX.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“However, after consultation with the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), and aviation authorities and its customers around the world, Boeing has determined — out of an abundance of caution and in order to reassure the flying public of the aircraft’s safety — to recommend to the FAA the temporary suspension of operations of the entire global fleet of 371 737 MAX aircraft.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_11732498]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For days, the FAA had said the planes are safe to fly. Major U.S. airlines such as Southwest — which uses 34 of the Boeing 737 Max 8 aircraft — also expressed confidence in the plane.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Southwest seemed to indicate in \u003ca href=\"https://www.swamedia.com/releases/release-daf60ecafe4ecff4f2a50ff5c0020cdc-statement-regarding-the-boeing-737-max-8\">a statement\u003c/a> Wednesday that it had been caught off guard by the U.S. decision to ground the planes, saying the airline is “aware of media reports stating that the Boeing 737 MAX 8 fleet will be grounded in the United States. We are currently seeking confirmation and additional guidance from the FAA and will respond accordingly in the interest of aviation safety.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>American Airlines said it had been informed earlier in the day that the entire Boeing 737 Max fleet would be grounded “out of an abundance of caution.” The emergency order will affect 24 of the airline’s planes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The FAA said Monday that it would require Boeing to improve how the 737 Max flight control systems work, along with other design changes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After Sunday’s crash, Ethiopian Airlines grounded its four remaining 737 Max 8 planes. Dozens of countries, including Germany and China, also grounded their airlines’ 737 Max 8s. In some places, such as India, Australia and the European Union, aviation authorities have banned the entire 737 Max family of planes from their airspace.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Canada took action Wednesday, with Transport Minister Marc Garneau \u003ca href=\"https://www.canada.ca/en/transport-canada/news/2019/03/minister-garneau-statement-regarding-restricting-airspace-to-boeing-737-max-8-and-9-aircraft.html\">announcing restrictions\u003c/a> barring “any air operator, both domestic and foreign,” from flying the Boeing 737 Max 8 and 9 through Canadian airspace. Air Canada has taken delivery of 23 of the 737 Max planes, according to \u003ca href=\"http://www.boeing.com/commercial/#/orders-deliveries\">Boeing\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite previous reassurances in the U.S. about safety, concerns have continued to mount. Peter Goelz, a former managing director of the National Transportation Safety Board, told NPR:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I have to say that yesterday was the first time I started to really have concerns myself, because I’ve worked with the British investigators and regulators. I’ve also worked with the German investigators. And I have the highest regard for them. These are not folks that would make haphazard judgments. So, I am concerned that some of the finest regulatory and investigative groups have now called for the grounding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I am beginning to be concerned about this airplane.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://www.npr.org/player/embed/702936894/703012942\" width=\"100%\" height=\"290\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" title=\"NPR embedded audio player\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Describing how the FAA functions, Goelz said the agency — which has sent a team of investigators to the crash site in Ethiopia — is “data-driven” and doesn’t make decisions on anecdotal evidence. “They really have a close working and regulatory relationship with Boeing,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The U.S. aviation system is essentially governed through cooperative and voluntary relationships between the government and manufacturers, Goelz said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There are not enough inspectors on the payroll to really have a ‘Gotcha!’ oversight,” he said. “So they cooperate very closely. And it’s a relationship that encourages the admittance of mistakes, it’s a relationship that has given us a very great system. But in times like this, it’s a relationship that certainly people question.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those questions include speculation about whether Boeing executives might have tried to influence the Trump administration in an effort to tamp down safety concerns about the 737 Max 8 — the fastest-selling plane in Boeing’s history, with \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/03/11/702211493/boeing-737-max-involved-in-two-crashes-is-fastest-selling-plane-in-companys-hist\">more than 5,000 ordered\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Boeing CEO Dennis Muilenburg has spoken directly to Trump about the crash, \u003ca href=\"https://www.reuters.com/article/us-ethiopia-airlines-trump/ties-between-boeing-and-trump-run-deep-idUSKBN1QT2MQ\">according to Reuters\u003c/a>, which notes that the two men have also spoken several times in the past — including negotiations over the price of the new Air Force One. The news agency also notes that acting Defense Secretary Patrick Shanahan was a longtime Boeing manager. And Nikki Haley, Trump’s former U.N. ambassador, has been nominated to join Boeing’s board.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The questions are surfacing months after U.S. pilots criticized Boeing in the wake of the Lion Air disaster, saying the plane-maker had not provided enough information or training about a critical aspect of its new flight control system, as \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/11/15/668135787/airline-pilots-raise-concerns-about-boeings-737-max\">NPR’s David Schaper reported\u003c/a> in November.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The pilot of Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 reported having flight control problems with the Boeing 737 Max 8 in the minutes before it crashed, airline CEO Tewolde GebreMariam says, providing new details about the disaster that killed 157 people on Sunday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11732655\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/03/boeing-737max-ethiopian-airlines-267708a79c1ab9412d6e21dbec4b4329fea8b6d4-800x599.jpg\" alt=\"Relatives of the 157 people who died in Sunday's crash of a Boeing 737 Max 8 were allowed to visit the site of the disaster Wednesday.

Dozens of countries, including Germany and China, also grounded their airlines’ 737 Max 8s. In some places, such as India, Australia and the European Union, aviation authorities have banned the entire 737 Max family of planes from their airspace.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Canada took action Wednesday, with Transport Minister Marc Garneau \u003ca href=\"https://www.canada.ca/en/transport-canada/news/2019/03/minister-garneau-statement-regarding-restricting-airspace-to-boeing-737-max-8-and-9-aircraft.html\">announcing restrictions\u003c/a> barring “any air operator, both domestic and foreign,” from flying the Boeing 737 Max 8 and 9 through Canadian airspace.

It would be one of a series of rollbacks targeting Obama administration efforts against pollution and climate change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under the administration proposal, the standards would be frozen after slightly tougher 2020 levels go into effect, eliminating 10 miles per gallon of improvement to a fleet average of 36 miles per gallon in 2025.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As part of the proposed mileage freeze, the administration threatened to revoke California's legal authority to set its own, tougher mileage standards, a waiver granted the state decades ago to help it deal with its punishing smog.

Tom Carper of Delaware, the top Democrat in the Senate's Environment and Public Works Committee, said in a statement late Wednesday, as the formal negotiations breakdown loomed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Litigation is not the best option here. It wastes time, money, creates uncertainty for American automakers, and harms the environment,\" Carper said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California officials say the administration never offered any compromise and that it broke off any contacts around December.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We concluded at that point that they were never serious about negotiating, and their public comments about California since then seem to underscore that point,\" said Stanley Young, spokesman for the California Air Resources Board.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's the latest shot by the White House in its escalating feud with California. The Trump administration earlier in the week said it planned to cancel nearly $1 billion for California's high-speed rail project and would seek the return of $2.5 billion more. Gov. Gavin Newsom said it was political retribution for the state's role in leading a 16-state lawsuit against Trump's declaration of a national emergency to get funds for his proposed wall at the southern border.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since it takes several years to design vehicles, automakers have been planning to meet higher mileage requirements under Obama-era standards, as well as those in other countries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For now, \"essentially the industry is ignoring what Trump wants to do,\" auto-industry analyst Sam Abuelsamid of Navigant Research said. \"We know at least until this thing gets settled in the courts, we have to deal with California and the other states and have product that can sell there as well as products that can sell overseas.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>The Associated Press' Kathleen Ronayne in Sacramento contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

So I guess if you're sitting in Washington and you're looking at this $930 million or whatever it is, and you say, 'Well, no one's used this money,' ... and you may feel, 'We can withdraw the money, we can withdraw their ability to claim the money.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bauer predicted it will take months, at least, to unravel what happens to the funds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The federal rail agency's letter alleged that the High-Speed Rail Authority has failed to meet certain funding and accounting requirements for work on the bullet train project.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The letter also said a review of the authority's documents led federal officials to conclude that the rail authority \"has failed to make reasonable progress\" on the project's initial segment in the San Joaquin Valley -- leading the federal agency to declare the work cannot be completed by the December 2022 deadline set by grant agreements.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State Sen.
