He co-founded the \u003ca href=\"https://projects.scpr.org/california-reporting-project/\">California Reporting Project\u003c/a> in 2019 to obtain and report on previously confidential police internal investigations. The effort produced well over 100 original stories and changed the course of multiple criminal cases.\r\n\r\nHis work has been recognized with numerous journalism awards, including a national Edward R. Murrow award for several years of \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11688481/sfpd-officers-in-mario-woods-case-recount-shooting-in-newly-filed-depositions\">reporting\u003c/a> on the San Francisco Police shooting of Mario Woods.

But if you met him at a bar, he’d probably tell you he’s a software engineer. That’s because his work is sensitive — but also, because he works for a tech company in Silicon Valley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As more and more of our lives play out online, so do crimes. This has prompted major tech companies to start growing internal crime-fighting cyber teams, often staffing them with former law enforcement agents. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In this case, the man with the intense chart on his screen works for a security team called “the Paranoids” — a brand started almost 20 years ago by techies at Yahoo, now known as Oath after a merger with Verizon/AOL. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is basically a fraud ring that we identified out of South Africa,” says the investigator.

His path to security work began as a federal agent, investigating international cybercrime at the NASA Office of Inspector General, tracking down hackers who tried to hijack NASA computers. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is an interesting trend: Silicon Valley has been slowly staffing up with former agents — from the FBI, the Secret Service, or in this case, NASA. The matter even came up at a recent congressional hearing on Russia’s influence campaign on social media, where a Republican lawmaker \u003ca href=\"https://www.c-span.org/video/?436362-1/facebook-google-twitter-executives-testify-russias-influence-2016-election&start=5532\">asked a Facebook executive\u003c/a> why his company needed staff with security clearances.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a way, it’s a reflection of modern crime. Criminals send emails, follow each other on Facebook, find victims on dating sites. Tech companies don’t want to be used for criminal schemes, and hiring highly trained federal investigators helps.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”dxqi0DRrVYpxwb9oV6IxAT2sIt8z7wl8″]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But there’s also something else. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The government doesn’t always have the birds-eye view anymore,” says Tom Pageler, a former Secret Service agent, who’s now also in the tech industry. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He says it used to be that the government had more of our data: Social Security numbers, driver’s licenses, voter registration. Now, it’s private companies that know where we go online, who we’re talking to.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think that actually what is happening today is what we were hoping for back then,” Pageler says, referring to his days in the Secret Service in the the early 2000s. There is now “a really good partnership, where well-trained individuals are going into the private industry and know how to investigate the case and package it properly for law enforcement to do what they need to do,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Charts on the Walls\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>I met the Zadig, the Oath threat investigations chief, at the company’s Sunnyvale headquarters for essentially a super nerdy ride-along, which is how I found myself staring at that intense chart.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The chart shows who did what to whom, where they are located, how they are connected to each other,” he says. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His investigators can’t see the content of emails — that’s law enforcement warrant territory — but they \u003cem>can \u003c/em>connect email accounts by seeing who’s emailing whom, or whether the same phone number gets used to sign up. They can then scour the Web for social networks or other public digital trails connected to those emails and phone numbers — trying to put emails to names, faces and locations. Occasionally, they find the suspects on Facebook posing with wads of cash.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We will print these charts out 2, 3 feet wide and they’ll be longer than the conference room table,” Zadig says. “And we’ll often sit down with law enforcement prosecutors and walk them through: Here’s how this account connects to this account, here’s how we identified this person.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sometimes, Zadig says, his team would return later for a follow-up “and we’ll see these charts on the walls, law enforcement or prosecutors have marked on them, they’ve made new connections that we hadn’t made.” He says his team’s work has led to more than 150 arrests in about three years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zadig’s team usually comes in after something illegal already happened. This includes the giant \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/10/03/555016024/every-yahoo-account-that-existed-in-mid-2013-was-likely-hacked\">hacks of Yahoo itself\u003c/a>, which happened in 2013 and 2014 and were disclosed by the company in late 2016. The company has not been able to identify the 2013 hack, but for the 2014 breach, the Justice Department \u003ca href=\"https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/us-charges-russian-fsb-officers-and-their-criminal-conspirators-hacking-yahoo-and-millions\">has indicted\u003c/a> four people: a Canadian hacker, \u003ca href=\"https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2017/11/canadian-man-pleads-guilty-admits-role-in-massive-2014-yahoo-hack/\">who has pleaded guilty\u003c/a>, and three Russians, two of whom are accused as agents of the Russian government.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11638345\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/img_3928-2f6858489b28df36f6eb17370ecb827270d4ea61-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"As a former federal agent, Zadig has a collection of these so-called challenge coins, which are exchanged by law enforcement agents during visits.\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11638345\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">As a former federal agent, Zadig has a collection of these so-called challenge coins, which are exchanged by law enforcement agents during visits. \u003ccite>(Alina Selyukh/NPR)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>‘We are a private company’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Not all investigations end up being shared with law enforcement. Some spammers might simply be shut down by the internal team. Jasdeep Singh Bhalla, a software developer on Zadig’s team, showed me an automated search tool he’s been building for months to dig up all accounts one spammer might create using bots, allowing the team to shut them down in one fell swoop.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In a matter of 30 seconds, you’ve got 70 associated accounts,” Singh Bhalla says, as a massive web of related accounts populates his screen. This is an extreme case: someone had created some 1,200 related accounts. “If you do this manually,” Singh Bhalla says, “it would take you two months to search.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And here’s an example of how a case that does end up resulting in arrests might develop inside a tech company. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A few years back, a bank alerted Yahoo that someone was hacking into accounts and switching associated email addresses to Yahoo emails. But when Zadig’s team looked in, they found something else: subject lines indicating that numerous tax filings were being completed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bigger scheme was tax return fraud. Yahoo’s investigators could see dozens of Yahoo accounts created to file tax returns with various tax providers, indicating that numerous refunds were being issued and cashed out. (Two guys were later arrested as part of a \u003ca href=\"http://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/community/miami-dade/article45492507.html\">massive identity-theft sweep\u003c/a> in the Miami area.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”pZkjLNGp9ojZvuA5a8r9D2od5hcvsXiP”]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For law enforcement, this kind of information is only available with a search warrant — for each email account. They might have never connected these particular dots, and definitely not this fast.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And this can be a touchy comparison. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here’s a point that Zadig made at least three times in two days: “We are not law enforcement; we work for a private company … We don’t want to be accused of being an agent of law enforcement, of doing things that would normally require a legal process.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When I asked Zadig and Pageler — who’s now the chief risk and security officer at Neustar — why they’d left public service, both offered similar stories. Those had been dream jobs — Pageler even says he’d felt physically sick to leave the Secret Service. But the hours were extreme, the travel intense, the pay not as good — both men wanted a more family-friendly lifestyle. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Pageler was a special agent, he established the San Francisco electronic crimes task force, meant to spur exactly what he says is happening now: better coordination and cooperation between the tech companies and the government. “It’s really pretty awesome for me to see,” he says. “I feel like we’re on the path that I was working for and I think it’s working very well.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2017 NPR.

His path to security work began as a federal agent, investigating international cybercrime at the NASA Office of Inspector General, tracking down hackers who tried to hijack NASA computers. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is an interesting trend: Silicon Valley has been slowly staffing up with former agents — from the FBI, the Secret Service, or in this case, NASA. The matter even came up at a recent congressional hearing on Russia’s influence campaign on social media, where a Republican lawmaker \u003ca href=\"https://www.c-span.org/video/?436362-1/facebook-google-twitter-executives-testify-russias-influence-2016-election&start=5532\">asked a Facebook executive\u003c/a> why his company needed staff with security clearances.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a way, it’s a reflection of modern crime. Criminals send emails, follow each other on Facebook, find victims on dating sites. Tech companies don’t want to be used for criminal schemes, and hiring highly trained federal investigators helps.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But there’s also something else. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The government doesn’t always have the birds-eye view anymore,” says Tom Pageler, a former Secret Service agent, who’s now also in the tech industry. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He says it used to be that the government had more of our data: Social Security numbers, driver’s licenses, voter registration. Now, it’s private companies that know where we go online, who we’re talking to.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think that actually what is happening today is what we were hoping for back then,” Pageler says, referring to his days in the Secret Service in the the early 2000s. There is now “a really good partnership, where well-trained individuals are going into the private industry and know how to investigate the case and package it properly for law enforcement to do what they need to do,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Charts on the Walls\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>I met the Zadig, the Oath threat investigations chief, at the company’s Sunnyvale headquarters for essentially a super nerdy ride-along, which is how I found myself staring at that intense chart.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The chart shows who did what to whom, where they are located, how they are connected to each other,” he says. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His investigators can’t see the content of emails — that’s law enforcement warrant territory — but they \u003cem>can \u003c/em>connect email accounts by seeing who’s emailing whom, or whether the same phone number gets used to sign up. They can then scour the Web for social networks or other public digital trails connected to those emails and phone numbers — trying to put emails to names, faces and locations. Occasionally, they find the suspects on Facebook posing with wads of cash.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We will print these charts out 2, 3 feet wide and they’ll be longer than the conference room table,” Zadig says. “And we’ll often sit down with law enforcement prosecutors and walk them through: Here’s how this account connects to this account, here’s how we identified this person.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sometimes, Zadig says, his team would return later for a follow-up “and we’ll see these charts on the walls, law enforcement or prosecutors have marked on them, they’ve made new connections that we hadn’t made.” He says his team’s work has led to more than 150 arrests in about three years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zadig’s team usually comes in after something illegal already happened. This includes the giant \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/10/03/555016024/every-yahoo-account-that-existed-in-mid-2013-was-likely-hacked\">hacks of Yahoo itself\u003c/a>, which happened in 2013 and 2014 and were disclosed by the company in late 2016. The company has not been able to identify the 2013 hack, but for the 2014 breach, the Justice Department \u003ca href=\"https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/us-charges-russian-fsb-officers-and-their-criminal-conspirators-hacking-yahoo-and-millions\">has indicted\u003c/a> four people: a Canadian hacker, \u003ca href=\"https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2017/11/canadian-man-pleads-guilty-admits-role-in-massive-2014-yahoo-hack/\">who has pleaded guilty\u003c/a>, and three Russians, two of whom are accused as agents of the Russian government.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11638345\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/img_3928-2f6858489b28df36f6eb17370ecb827270d4ea61-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"As a former federal agent, Zadig has a collection of these so-called challenge coins, which are exchanged by law enforcement agents during visits.\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11638345\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">As a former federal agent, Zadig has a collection of these so-called challenge coins, which are exchanged by law enforcement agents during visits. \u003ccite>(Alina Selyukh/NPR)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>‘We are a private company’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Not all investigations end up being shared with law enforcement. Some spammers might simply be shut down by the internal team. Jasdeep Singh Bhalla, a software developer on Zadig’s team, showed me an automated search tool he’s been building for months to dig up all accounts one spammer might create using bots, allowing the team to shut them down in one fell swoop.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In a matter of 30 seconds, you’ve got 70 associated accounts,” Singh Bhalla says, as a massive web of related accounts populates his screen. This is an extreme case: someone had created some 1,200 related accounts. “If you do this manually,” Singh Bhalla says, “it would take you two months to search.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And here’s an example of how a case that does end up resulting in arrests might develop inside a tech company. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A few years back, a bank alerted Yahoo that someone was hacking into accounts and switching associated email addresses to Yahoo emails. But when Zadig’s team looked in, they found something else: subject lines indicating that numerous tax filings were being completed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bigger scheme was tax return fraud. Yahoo’s investigators could see dozens of Yahoo accounts created to file tax returns with various tax providers, indicating that numerous refunds were being issued and cashed out. (Two guys were later arrested as part of a \u003ca href=\"http://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/community/miami-dade/article45492507.html\">massive identity-theft sweep\u003c/a> in the Miami area.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For law enforcement, this kind of information is only available with a search warrant — for each email account. They might have never connected these particular dots, and definitely not this fast.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And this can be a touchy comparison. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here’s a point that Zadig made at least three times in two days: “We are not law enforcement; we work for a private company … We don’t want to be accused of being an agent of law enforcement, of doing things that would normally require a legal process.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When I asked Zadig and Pageler — who’s now the chief risk and security officer at Neustar — why they’d left public service, both offered similar stories. Those had been dream jobs — Pageler even says he’d felt physically sick to leave the Secret Service. But the hours were extreme, the travel intense, the pay not as good — both men wanted a more family-friendly lifestyle. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Now, they will have to wait at least one more day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bill hit a snag Tuesday afternoon, when the Senate parliamentarian ruled that two provisions would have to be removed from the bill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One provision at issue would allow families to use education savings accounts, often called 529 accounts, to pay for K-12 private schools and home-schooling expenses. The other exempts private colleges and universities with fewer than 500 tuition-paying students from paying a new tax being imposed on their endowments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"7ueQ3Dutf60odzhz3AU8tvooLYyE6awz\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both provisions have been found to be in violation of the Byrd Rule, which governs the types of legislation that can be passed under reconciliation. Reconciliation is the process that allows bills to pass the Senate with 51 votes, instead of the standard 60 votes. In part, the Byrd Rule says that provisions can't contain \"extraneous matter\" that doesn't pertain to the budget.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Senate is still set to debate the bill and vote Tuesday evening. The House will reconvene Wednesday morning and is set to vote again then.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The House passed the final version of Republicans' $1.5 trillion tax overhaul on Tuesday afternoon, by a vote of 227-203.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That vote fell largely along party lines. No Democrats voted in favor of the bill, as was the case when the \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2017/11/16/564615897/house-approves-gop-tax-overhaul-with-senate-outlook-uncertain\" target=\"_blank\">House passed its initial version of the bill\u003c/a> in November. Twelve House Republicans voted against the bill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"tLqhTBCHnxGECjZ7lyh7orb05DsSOJ7d\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Senate bill also appears likely to be passed largely along party lines. No Democrats voted for the bill in either the House or Senate's initial votes, and the bill did not undergo any major changes in conference committee, where the differences between the House and Senate versions were reconciled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just before the vote, House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., spoke, casting the bill as a long-awaited conservative victory that would benefit American workers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"My colleagues, this is a day I have looked forward to for a very long time,\" he said. \"We are about to achieve some big things -- things that the cynics have scoffed at for years, decades even.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As he and other Republicans have done for months while promoting the plan, he likewise framed the bill as being beneficial to workers and families.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"fbUJjoYj5xVEXF6yH5kKOEEbGgHh2pK9\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is real relief for families out there living paycheck-to-paycheck, struggling to make ends meet,\" he later added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., castigated Republicans for a bill that she said would particularly benefit the already-wealthy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In this holy time, the moral obscenity and unrepentant greed of the GOP tax scam stands out even more clearly,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though the bill would \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2017/12/15/571258698/chart-how-the-new-version-of-the-republican-tax-bill-would-affect-you\" target=\"_blank\">lower tax rates\u003c/a> for many Americans, it also is in large part a corporate tax cut, lowering the top federal corporate tax rate drastically, from 35 percent to 21 percent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to a new report from the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center, the plan would \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2017/12/19/571754894/charts-see-how-much-of-gop-tax-cuts-will-go-to-the-middle-class\">overwhelmingly benefit the richest Americans\u003c/a>. In 2018, the center estimates, the average household would get a tax cut of $1,610, but the average household earning more than $1 million would get a tax cut of nearly $70,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, the bill makes most individual tax changes temporary, setting them to expire after 2025, while making corporate tax cuts permanent. Republicans did this so that the bill could meet budgetary rules they had set out for themselves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That early sunset of individual tax cuts means that, come 2027, more than half of Americans could see a tax increase, according to the Tax Policy Center report.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Speaking to reporters after the House vote, Ryan said that Republicans intend to eventually extend those provisions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We have every intent of making those permanent,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/CBSNews/status/943207866386829312\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bill is also set to add nearly $1.5 trillion to deficits over the next decade.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republicans, eager to score a major legislative win, have pushed their tax overhaul through Congress at breakneck pace. Thus far, \u003ca href=\"https://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/115/hr1\" target=\"_blank\">47 days have passed\u003c/a> since the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act was introduced in the House.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's quick compared to the last time the tax code underwent major changes, with the \u003ca href=\"https://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/99/hr3838\">Tax Reform Act of 1986\u003c/a>. President Ronald Reagan signed that bill 323 days after it was first introduced in the House.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's not the only way that this tax overhaul effort differs from the Reagan overhaul in 1986. That one had bipartisan agreement, with \"yes\" votes from 116 Republicans, along with 176 Democrats, as C-SPAN Capitol Hill producer Craig Caplan pointed out Tuesday. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/CraigCaplan/status/943162598027120642\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Copyright 2017 NPR.

Now, they will have to wait at least one more day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bill hit a snag Tuesday afternoon, when the Senate parliamentarian ruled that two provisions would have to be removed from the bill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One provision at issue would allow families to use education savings accounts, often called 529 accounts, to pay for K-12 private schools and home-schooling expenses. The other exempts private colleges and universities with fewer than 500 tuition-paying students from paying a new tax being imposed on their endowments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both provisions have been found to be in violation of the Byrd Rule, which governs the types of legislation that can be passed under reconciliation. Reconciliation is the process that allows bills to pass the Senate with 51 votes, instead of the standard 60 votes. In part, the Byrd Rule says that provisions can't contain \"extraneous matter\" that doesn't pertain to the budget.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The House will reconvene Wednesday morning and is set to vote again then.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The House passed the final version of Republicans' $1.5 trillion tax overhaul on Tuesday afternoon, by a vote of 227-203.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That vote fell largely along party lines. No Democrats voted in favor of the bill, as was the case when the \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2017/11/16/564615897/house-approves-gop-tax-overhaul-with-senate-outlook-uncertain\" target=\"_blank\">House passed its initial version of the bill\u003c/a> in November.

No Democrats voted for the bill in either the House or Senate's initial votes, and the bill did not undergo any major changes in conference committee, where the differences between the House and Senate versions were reconciled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just before the vote, House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., spoke, casting the bill as a long-awaited conservative victory that would benefit American workers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"My colleagues, this is a day I have looked forward to for a very long time,\" he said. \"We are about to achieve some big things -- things that the cynics have scoffed at for years, decades even.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As he and other Republicans have done for months while promoting the plan, he likewise framed the bill as being beneficial to workers and families.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is real relief for families out there living paycheck-to-paycheck, struggling to make ends meet,\" he later added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., castigated Republicans for a bill that she said would particularly benefit the already-wealthy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In this holy time, the moral obscenity and unrepentant greed of the GOP tax scam stands out even more clearly,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though the bill would \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2017/12/15/571258698/chart-how-the-new-version-of-the-republican-tax-bill-would-affect-you\" target=\"_blank\">lower tax rates\u003c/a> for many Americans, it also is in large part a corporate tax cut, lowering the top federal corporate tax rate drastically, from 35 percent to 21 percent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to a new report from the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center, the plan would \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2017/12/19/571754894/charts-see-how-much-of-gop-tax-cuts-will-go-to-the-middle-class\">overwhelmingly benefit the richest Americans\u003c/a>. In 2018, the center estimates, the average household would get a tax cut of $1,610, but the average household earning more than $1 million would get a tax cut of nearly $70,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, the bill makes most individual tax changes temporary, setting them to expire after 2025, while making corporate tax cuts permanent. Republicans did this so that the bill could meet budgetary rules they had set out for themselves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That early sunset of individual tax cuts means that, come 2027, more than half of Americans could see a tax increase, according to the Tax Policy Center report.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Speaking to reporters after the House vote, Ryan said that Republicans intend to eventually extend those provisions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We have every intent of making those permanent,\" he said.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Thus far, \u003ca href=\"https://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/115/hr1\" target=\"_blank\">47 days have passed\u003c/a> since the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act was introduced in the House.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's quick compared to the last time the tax code underwent major changes, with the \u003ca href=\"https://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/99/hr3838\">Tax Reform Act of 1986\u003c/a>. President Ronald Reagan signed that bill 323 days after it was first introduced in the House.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's not the only way that this tax overhaul effort differs from the Reagan overhaul in 1986.

"content": "\u003cp>Anita Willis says the social worker offered her a painful choice: She could either leave the San Jose, Calif., nursing home where she’d spent a month recovering from a stroke — or come up with $336 a day to stay on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She had until midnight to decide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Willis’ Medicaid managed-care plan had told the home that it was cutting off payment because she no longer qualified for such a high level of care. If Willis, 58, stayed and paid the daily rate, her Social Security disability money would run out in three days. But if she left, she had nowhere to go. She’d recently become homeless after a breakup and said she couldn’t even afford a room-and-board setting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In tears, she said, she agreed to leave. Thus began a months-long odyssey from budget motels to acquaintances’ couches to hospital ERs — at least five emergency visits in all, she said. Sometimes, her 25-year-old daughter drove down from Sacramento, and Willis slept in her daughter’s car.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They kicked me out in the cold,” said Willis, a former Head Start teacher.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Complaints about allegedly improper evictions and discharges from nursing homes are on the rise in California, Illinois and other states, according to government data. These concerns are echoed in lawsuits and by ombudsmen and consumer advocates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In California alone, such complaints have jumped 70 percent in five years, reaching 1,504 last year, said Joseph Rodrigues, the state-employed Long-Term Care Ombudsman, who for 15 years has overseen local ombudsman programs, which are responsible for resolving consumer complaints.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Around the country, ombudsmen say many patients like Willis end up with no permanent housing or regular medical care after being discharged. Even when the discharges are deemed legal, these ombudsmen say, they often are unethical.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a growing problem,” said Leza Coleman, executive director of the California Long-Term Care Ombudsman Association. Coleman says the practice stems from skilled nursing facilities’ desire for better compensation for their services and from the shortage of other affordable long-term care options that might absorb less severe cases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Willis’ case, she ultimately lost her appeal to return to the nursing home, Courtyard Care Center. A state hearing judge determined that she had left the home voluntarily because she refused the opportunity to pay to remain there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Top administrators at Sava Senior Care, which owns Courtyard, did not return repeated calls for comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among other recent cases of allegedly improper discharges:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>In October, California’s attorney general moved to prevent a Bakersfield nursing home administrator from working with elderly and disabled people, while he awaits trial on charges of elder abuse and wrongful discharge. State prosecutors said one patient was falsely informed that she owed the home money, then sent to an independent living center even though she could not “walk or toilet on her own.” The administrator did not return messages left at the nursing home.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>A \u003ca href=\"http://www.marylandattorneygeneral.gov/News%20Documents/State_v_NMS_Complaint.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pending lawsuit\u003c/a> by Maryland’s attorney general alleges a nursing home chain, Neiswanger Management Services (NMS), illegally evicted residents, sending them to homeless shelters or other inadequate facilities to free up bed space for higher-paying patients. NMS countersued state regulators, alleging they are trying to drive the chain out of business.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Last month, a 73-year-old woman with diabetes and heart failure \u003ca href=\"http://canhr.org/newsroom/newdev_archive/2017/PDFs/Complaint-JohnsonMoore-Dumping.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sued a Fresno, Calif., nursing home\u003c/a> for allegedly \u003ca href=\"http://www.fresnobee.com/news/local/article182618836.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">leaving her with an open wound on a sidewalk\u003c/a> in front of a relative’s home. The suit said conditions in the residence were unsafe and a family member refused to allow her inside. The state cited the home in July and issued a $20,000 fine.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Of course, not all complaints or lawsuits are well-founded. Federal law allows a nursing home to discharge or evict a patient when it cannot meet the resident’s needs or the person no longer requires services; if the resident endangers the health and safety of other individuals; or if the patient has failed, after reasonable and appropriate notice, to pay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The law also generally requires a home to provide 30 days’ notice before discharging a patient involuntarily and requires all discharges be safe and orderly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Deborah Pacyna, spokeswoman for the California Association of Health Facilities, a trade organization that represents nursing homes, questions why nursing homes should be responsible for providing a safety net for the indigent and homeless.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Nursing home residents reflect society,” she said in a written statement. “Some nursing home residents live in homeless shelters or hotels. They may request that they go back ‘home,’ or to their local shelter or hotel upon discharge. We must honor their choices as long as their needs are met.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pacyna also noted that eviction and discharge complaints represent a tiny fraction of the hundreds of thousands of residents released from the state’s nursing homes each year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nationally, discharge and eviction complaints have remained more or less steady in recent years after rising significantly between 2000 and 2007, according to data collected by the federal government. Still, these complaints remain the top grievance reported to nursing home ombudsmen as the number of overall complaints about everything from abuse to access to information has dropped in the past decade.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The rate of complaints can vary considerably by state.

If Willis, 58, stayed and paid the daily rate, her Social Security disability money would run out in three days. But if she left, she had nowhere to go. She’d recently become homeless after a breakup and said she couldn’t even afford a room-and-board setting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In tears, she said, she agreed to leave. Thus began a months-long odyssey from budget motels to acquaintances’ couches to hospital ERs — at least five emergency visits in all, she said. Sometimes, her 25-year-old daughter drove down from Sacramento, and Willis slept in her daughter’s car.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They kicked me out in the cold,” said Willis, a former Head Start teacher.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

These concerns are echoed in lawsuits and by ombudsmen and consumer advocates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In California alone, such complaints have jumped 70 percent in five years, reaching 1,504 last year, said Joseph Rodrigues, the state-employed Long-Term Care Ombudsman, who for 15 years has overseen local ombudsman programs, which are responsible for resolving consumer complaints.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Around the country, ombudsmen say many patients like Willis end up with no permanent housing or regular medical care after being discharged. Even when the discharges are deemed legal, these ombudsmen say, they often are unethical.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a growing problem,” said Leza Coleman, executive director of the California Long-Term Care Ombudsman Association. Coleman says the practice stems from skilled nursing facilities’ desire for better compensation for their services and from the shortage of other affordable long-term care options that might absorb less severe cases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Willis’ case, she ultimately lost her appeal to return to the nursing home, Courtyard Care Center. A state hearing judge determined that she had left the home voluntarily because she refused the opportunity to pay to remain there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Top administrators at Sava Senior Care, which owns Courtyard, did not return repeated calls for comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among other recent cases of allegedly improper discharges:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>In October, California’s attorney general moved to prevent a Bakersfield nursing home administrator from working with elderly and disabled people, while he awaits trial on charges of elder abuse and wrongful discharge. State prosecutors said one patient was falsely informed that she owed the home money, then sent to an independent living center even though she could not “walk or toilet on her own.” The administrator did not return messages left at the nursing home.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>A \u003ca href=\"http://www.marylandattorneygeneral.gov/News%20Documents/State_v_NMS_Complaint.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pending lawsuit\u003c/a> by Maryland’s attorney general alleges a nursing home chain, Neiswanger Management Services (NMS), illegally evicted residents, sending them to homeless shelters or other inadequate facilities to free up bed space for higher-paying patients. NMS countersued state regulators, alleging they are trying to drive the chain out of business.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Last month, a 73-year-old woman with diabetes and heart failure \u003ca href=\"http://canhr.org/newsroom/newdev_archive/2017/PDFs/Complaint-JohnsonMoore-Dumping.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sued a Fresno, Calif., nursing home\u003c/a> for allegedly \u003ca href=\"http://www.fresnobee.com/news/local/article182618836.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">leaving her with an open wound on a sidewalk\u003c/a> in front of a relative’s home. The suit said conditions in the residence were unsafe and a family member refused to allow her inside. The state cited the home in July and issued a $20,000 fine.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Of course, not all complaints or lawsuits are well-founded. Federal law allows a nursing home to discharge or evict a patient when it cannot meet the resident’s needs or the person no longer requires services; if the resident endangers the health and safety of other individuals; or if the patient has failed, after reasonable and appropriate notice, to pay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The law also generally requires a home to provide 30 days’ notice before discharging a patient involuntarily and requires all discharges be safe and orderly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Deborah Pacyna, spokeswoman for the California Association of Health Facilities, a trade organization that represents nursing homes, questions why nursing homes should be responsible for providing a safety net for the indigent and homeless.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Nursing home residents reflect society,” she said in a written statement. “Some nursing home residents live in homeless shelters or hotels. They may request that they go back ‘home,’ or to their local shelter or hotel upon discharge. We must honor their choices as long as their needs are met.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pacyna also noted that eviction and discharge complaints represent a tiny fraction of the hundreds of thousands of residents released from the state’s nursing homes each year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nationally, discharge and eviction complaints have remained more or less steady in recent years after rising significantly between 2000 and 2007, according to data collected by the federal government. Still, these complaints remain the top grievance reported to nursing home ombudsmen as the number of overall complaints about everything from abuse to access to information has dropped in the past decade.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The rate of complaints can vary considerably by state. Jamie Freschi, the Illinois state ombudsman, says discharge and eviction complaints have more than doubled in her state since 2011.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She recalled one wheelchair-bound nursing resident who was in severe pain from osteoarthritis, scoliosis and fibromyalgia when she was discharged from a nursing home and sent to a homeless shelter.
