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.",

"content": "\u003cp>[dropcap]I[/dropcap]n a scramble to keep people enrolled in health care plans, what did New Jersey, Vermont and the District of Columbia do earlier this year that California has not done?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They began requiring that their residents carry health coverage or face a state penalty for going without it. Such “individual mandates” aim to replace the federal mandate—perhaps the most controversial but essential part of the Affordable Care Act, often called Obamacare—that sought to force people to sign up for health insurance or pay a tax penalty. The Republican Congress and the Trump administration have repealed that federal penalty, effective next year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The clock is ticking. Obamacare has led to a record number of Californians having medical coverage. But a new study warns that if the state does nothing to counteract the Trump administration’s moves to undermine Obamacare, up to 1 million more Californians could be without health insurance within the next five years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What’s kept California from enacting its own mandate? Some state Democratic leaders are wary of enacting a state mandate without also making health insurance cheaper for Californians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Providing subsidies is a better reality for members of our community than providing penalties,” said Assemblyman Joaquin Arambula, a Fresno Democrat who co-chaired the select committee on universal health care that conducted town halls across the state last summer. “It’s the carrot versus the stick.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sacramento state Sen. Richard Pan, a Democrat who chairs the Senate Health Committee, said the Legislature is focused on keeping the state’s insurance market exchange, known as Covered California, strong. Some 2 million Californians buy health coverage through the exchange, which provides federal subsidies to low-income purchasers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are going to do what we can in California to stabilize the insurance market, to do what we can to make health insurance, particularly on Covered California, affordable,” said Pan, who has not yet endorsed any particular remedy. “We are up against a federal administration that is doing the opposite and forcing people to pay higher premiums.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As we look at options, like do we want to do an individual mandate, we also need to recognize part of what is driving that is not only the removal of the federal mandate, but also actions taken to increase insurance premiums,” Pan continued.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since the Affordable Care Act was implemented in 2013, the state’s uninsured rate has dropped from 20 percent to 7 percent. Currently 3.4 million Californians are uninsured, undocumented immigrant adults making up the majority of that group.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">“We don’t want to require people to buy coverage that they can’t afford.”\u003cbr>\n— \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic\">Anthony Wright, executive director of HealthAccess, which advocates for consumers\u003c/span>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>But without more aggressive state intervention to counter Washington’s retreat from the program, an estimated 500,000 to 800,000 more Californians under 65 will be uninsured by 2023, according to a new study from the UC Berkeley Center for Labor Research and Education and the UCLA Center for Health Policy Research.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A mandate and state subsidies are among options the Legislature will be exploring to combat the expected exodus from insurance. But both are controversial. An Economist/YouGov poll found that 66 percent of Americans oppose a mandate. And although a few other states such as Vermont and Massachusetts do offer state subsidies, in California state subsidies could cost up to an estimated $500 million, at a time when an incoming Democratic governor and Democratic supermajorities in the Legislature have promised pricey programs such as universal health care and universal preschool.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So far, Covered California enrollment, now underway through Jan. 15, is meeting projections—with a big caveat. As of the end of November, more than 90,000 newly insured people signed up, said Peter Lee, its executive director. But those projections already were lowered by 10 to 12 percent compared to last year because it was unknown what effect the removal of the penalty would have on sign-ups.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s no question that a penalty imposed on individuals for whom health insurance is affordable is a good policy,” said Lee, who said he would follow whatever rules the Legislature adopts. “The penalty encourages people to participate in a system that, if they don’t, we all bear the cost. And it encourages people to do the right thing for themselves.”\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11698852/6-things-to-know-about-covered-california-open-enrollment-for-2019\">6 Things To Know About Covered California Open Enrollment for 2019\u003c/a>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11698852/6-things-to-know-about-covered-california-open-enrollment-for-2019\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/RS11278_479421059-1038x576.jpg\" alt=\"\">\u003c/a>\u003c/figure>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Covered California is working on a report commissioned by the Legislature on how to best bolster the system. It’s due in February, and Lee said a variety of options are on the table, including a mandate, expanding subsidies and using state money to lower premiums, a process called reinsurance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some of those ideas echo the recommendations UC researchers offered in their study: incorporate a state mandate with penalty funds going toward making insurance more affordable, state-funded subsidies in addition to the existing federal subsidies, and a Medi-Cal expansion to include low-income undocumented immigrants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These are not new ideas but they are politically and financially costly, said Gerald Kominski, a fellow at the UCLA Center for Health Policy Research.“We know that the mandate drives people into the market,” said Kominski. “If you’re going to pay a tax penalty and not have health insurance, why not look for insurance when almost 90 percent of those who buy in through Covered California received some sort of subsidy.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The state could consider bringing the whole threshold down for everybody,” he continued. “The point is to lower the thresholds and make people pay less out of pocket. That would increase affordability for lots of families.” Some advocates agree that a potential state mandate must also include a mechanism for making insurance more attainable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11712113\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11712113\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/12/HealthCareSignups-800x535.jpg\" alt=\"People wait to register for helath care insurance during an enrollment fair on March 28, 2014 in Bay Point.\" width=\"800\" height=\"535\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/12/HealthCareSignups-800x535.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/12/HealthCareSignups-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/12/HealthCareSignups-1020x682.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/12/HealthCareSignups-1200x802.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/12/HealthCareSignups.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">People wait to register for health care insurance during an enrollment fair on March 28, 2014, in Bay Point. \u003ccite>(Justin Sullivan/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“We don’t want to require people to buy coverage that they can’t afford. And what they can afford may be different in a high-cost-of-living state like California,” said Anthony Wright, executive director of HealthAccess, which advocates for consumers. “That’s why it’s hard to have a conversation about a mandate without affordability assistance.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under the federal mandate, Americans were compelled to carry health insurance or pay a penalty of $695 per adult or 2.5 percent of household income, whichever is higher, unless insurance costs more than 8 percent of a household’s income.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the repeal of that ultimatum, California is bracing for the biggest dropouts among its residents who have been buying insurance through the subsidized Covered California program. The program projects it could lose 10 to 30 percent of its participants.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">“There’s no question that a penalty imposed on individuals for whom health insurance is affordable is a good policy.” \u003ccite>Peter Lee, executive director for Covered California\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>But the state also expects wider losses, including among the 46 percent of Californians who get insurance through employers, because they also will no longer be required to have it. Even Medi-Cal, the state-paid program for low-income Californians, will lose about 350,000 people, the study estimates, because the lack of a federal mandate may deter people from seeking health coverage at all—meaning they’ll never discover if they qualify for Medi-Cal. Last year the California Legislature considered creating a state mandate as part of budget discussions that included making insurance more affordable, but neither idea made it into the final budget proposal submitted to the governor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Experts and advocates are hopeful that these ideas may gain traction under Gov.-elect Gavin Newsom, who has talked a big game on health care and access, pledging during his campaign to support single payer and universal coverage. If more Californians drop their health insurance, everyone pays. People most likely to drop out are the young and the healthy, experts say. But they are critical to keeping the whole operation afloat because the system cannot be made up of only sick people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California already has taken steps to shore up the Affordable Care Act: banning short-term health plans, adopting legislation barring work requirements for Medi-Cal and offering a longer open enrollment period.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Legislators tell us to expect a fresh look at state initiatives to stabilize the insurance market,” said Richard Cauchi who oversees health initiatives for the National Conference of State Legislatures. “So ‘stay tuned’ to see how many states will create their own solutions.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/\">CALmatters.org\u003c/a> is a nonprofit, nonpartisan media venture explaining California policies and politics.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Such “individual mandates” aim to replace the federal mandate—perhaps the most controversial but essential part of the Affordable Care Act, often called Obamacare—that sought to force people to sign up for health insurance or pay a tax penalty. The Republican Congress and the Trump administration have repealed that federal penalty, effective next year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The clock is ticking. Obamacare has led to a record number of Californians having medical coverage.

Richard Pan, a Democrat who chairs the Senate Health Committee, said the Legislature is focused on keeping the state’s insurance market exchange, known as Covered California, strong. Some 2 million Californians buy health coverage through the exchange, which provides federal subsidies to low-income purchasers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are going to do what we can in California to stabilize the insurance market, to do what we can to make health insurance, particularly on Covered California, affordable,” said Pan, who has not yet endorsed any particular remedy. “We are up against a federal administration that is doing the opposite and forcing people to pay higher premiums.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As we look at options, like do we want to do an individual mandate, we also need to recognize part of what is driving that is not only the removal of the federal mandate, but also actions taken to increase insurance premiums,” Pan continued.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since the Affordable Care Act was implemented in 2013, the state’s uninsured rate has dropped from 20 percent to 7 percent. Currently 3.4 million Californians are uninsured, undocumented immigrant adults making up the majority of that group.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">“We don’t want to require people to buy coverage that they can’t afford.”\u003cbr>\n— \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic\">Anthony Wright, executive director of HealthAccess, which advocates for consumers\u003c/span>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>But without more aggressive state intervention to counter Washington’s retreat from the program, an estimated 500,000 to 800,000 more Californians under 65 will be uninsured by 2023, according to a new study from the UC Berkeley Center for Labor Research and Education and the UCLA Center for Health Policy Research.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A mandate and state subsidies are among options the Legislature will be exploring to combat the expected exodus from insurance. But both are controversial. An Economist/YouGov poll found that 66 percent of Americans oppose a mandate. And although a few other states such as Vermont and Massachusetts do offer state subsidies, in California state subsidies could cost up to an estimated $500 million, at a time when an incoming Democratic governor and Democratic supermajorities in the Legislature have promised pricey programs such as universal health care and universal preschool.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So far, Covered California enrollment, now underway through Jan. 15, is meeting projections—with a big caveat. As of the end of November, more than 90,000 newly insured people signed up, said Peter Lee, its executive director. But those projections already were lowered by 10 to 12 percent compared to last year because it was unknown what effect the removal of the penalty would have on sign-ups.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s no question that a penalty imposed on individuals for whom health insurance is affordable is a good policy,” said Lee, who said he would follow whatever rules the Legislature adopts. “The penalty encourages people to participate in a system that, if they don’t, we all bear the cost. And it encourages people to do the right thing for themselves.”\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11698852/6-things-to-know-about-covered-california-open-enrollment-for-2019\">6 Things To Know About Covered California Open Enrollment for 2019\u003c/a>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11698852/6-things-to-know-about-covered-california-open-enrollment-for-2019\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/RS11278_479421059-1038x576.jpg\" alt=\"\">\u003c/a>\u003c/figure>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Covered California is working on a report commissioned by the Legislature on how to best bolster the system. It’s due in February, and Lee said a variety of options are on the table, including a mandate, expanding subsidies and using state money to lower premiums, a process called reinsurance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some of those ideas echo the recommendations UC researchers offered in their study: incorporate a state mandate with penalty funds going toward making insurance more affordable, state-funded subsidies in addition to the existing federal subsidies, and a Medi-Cal expansion to include low-income undocumented immigrants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These are not new ideas but they are politically and financially costly, said Gerald Kominski, a fellow at the UCLA Center for Health Policy Research.“We know that the mandate drives people into the market,” said Kominski. “If you’re going to pay a tax penalty and not have health insurance, why not look for insurance when almost 90 percent of those who buy in through Covered California received some sort of subsidy.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The state could consider bringing the whole threshold down for everybody,” he continued. “The point is to lower the thresholds and make people pay less out of pocket. That would increase affordability for lots of families.” Some advocates agree that a potential state mandate must also include a mechanism for making insurance more attainable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11712113\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11712113\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/12/HealthCareSignups-800x535.jpg\" alt=\"People wait to register for helath care insurance during an enrollment fair on March 28, 2014 in Bay Point.\" width=\"800\" height=\"535\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/12/HealthCareSignups-800x535.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/12/HealthCareSignups-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/12/HealthCareSignups-1020x682.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/12/HealthCareSignups-1200x802.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/12/HealthCareSignups.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">People wait to register for health care insurance during an enrollment fair on March 28, 2014, in Bay Point. \u003ccite>(Justin Sullivan/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“We don’t want to require people to buy coverage that they can’t afford. And what they can afford may be different in a high-cost-of-living state like California,” said Anthony Wright, executive director of HealthAccess, which advocates for consumers. “That’s why it’s hard to have a conversation about a mandate without affordability assistance.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under the federal mandate, Americans were compelled to carry health insurance or pay a penalty of $695 per adult or 2.5 percent of household income, whichever is higher, unless insurance costs more than 8 percent of a household’s income.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the repeal of that ultimatum, California is bracing for the biggest dropouts among its residents who have been buying insurance through the subsidized Covered California program. The program projects it could lose 10 to 30 percent of its participants.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">“There’s no question that a penalty imposed on individuals for whom health insurance is affordable is a good policy.” \u003ccite>Peter Lee, executive director for Covered California\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>But the state also expects wider losses, including among the 46 percent of Californians who get insurance through employers, because they also will no longer be required to have it. Even Medi-Cal, the state-paid program for low-income Californians, will lose about 350,000 people, the study estimates, because the lack of a federal mandate may deter people from seeking health coverage at all—meaning they’ll never discover if they qualify for Medi-Cal. Last year the California Legislature considered creating a state mandate as part of budget discussions that included making insurance more affordable, but neither idea made it into the final budget proposal submitted to the governor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Experts and advocates are hopeful that these ideas may gain traction under Gov.-elect Gavin Newsom, who has talked a big game on health care and access, pledging during his campaign to support single payer and universal coverage. If more Californians drop their health insurance, everyone pays. People most likely to drop out are the young and the healthy, experts say. But they are critical to keeping the whole operation afloat because the system cannot be made up of only sick people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California already has taken steps to shore up the Affordable Care Act: banning short-term health plans, adopting legislation barring work requirements for Medi-Cal and offering a longer open enrollment period.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Legislators tell us to expect a fresh look at state initiatives to stabilize the insurance market,” said Richard Cauchi who oversees health initiatives for the National Conference of State Legislatures. “So ‘stay tuned’ to see how many states will create their own solutions.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Updated at 5:37 p.m. ET\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a testy Oval Office exchange with the two top congressional Democrats, Rep. Nancy Pelosi and Sen. Chuck Schumer, President Trump made clear he would be “proud” to shut down the government in less than two weeks if he doesn’t get funding for his border wall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’ll be the one to shut it down. I will take the mantle. And I will shut it down for border security,” Trump told House and Senate Democratic leaders as Vice President Pence sat by stoically.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The statement from Trump came in an extraordinary show before the cameras and the press, with minutes of tense back-and-forth with both Pelosi, the likely incoming House speaker, and Schumer, the Senate minority leader.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democratic leaders have made it clear they don’t intend to give the president a victory on funding for his signature border wall, and afterward released a statement reiterating that “We gave the president two options that would keep the government open. It’s his choice to accept one of those options or shut the government down.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pelosi told reporters on Capitol Hill at a holiday reception later Tuesday she and Trump had spoken on the phone but there was no response to the earlier offer from her and Schumer. According to an aide, the call was around 4 p.m. and lasted about a minute.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Speaking immediately afterthe meeting, both Schumer and Pelosi thought they had emerged with the upper hand after seemingly baiting Trump into taking the blame if there’s a partial shutdown just days before Christmas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This Trump shutdown, this temper tantrum he seems to want to throw, will not get him his wall,” the Senate minority leader told reporters outside the White House.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Throughout the meeting, Trump kept insisting that much of the wall has already been built (numerous fact checkers earlier this year \u003ca href=\"https://www.factcheck.org/2018/04/has-the-border-wall-begun/\">determined it hasn’t\u003c/a>, which Schumer pointed out) and he’s also said that the military can build the rest. In a statement provided to NPR Tuesday evening, a spokesperson for the Department of Defense said “to date, there is no plan to build sections of the wall.” But, “Congress has provided options under [existing law] that could permit the Department of Defense to fund border barrier projects, such as in support of counter drug operations or national emergencies.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During the 2016 campaign, Trump also kept claiming that Mexico would pay to build the wall, but he has since dropped that talking point.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pelosi insisted during the meeting that the cameras should leave, saying afterward she made such a request because “we didn’t want to contradict the president when he was putting forth figures that have no basis in fact. … I didn’t want to say in front of those people, ‘You have no idea what you’re talking about.'”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Except by making that comment just after leaving the Oval Office, Pelosi was saying just that. She also kept trying to explain to Trump that there wasn’t enough support even in the GOP-controlled House for his border wall, urging him to accept a continuous funding resolution at the current spending levels, or $1.3 billion for a year. But Trump kept interjecting to shift blame, saying a House vote wouldn’t matter since he needs to get to 60 votes in the Senate anyway and that would require help from Democrats — a frequent complaint of his.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back on Capitol Hill, Pelosi told fellow Democratic lawmakers in private that she was “trying to be the mom” in the room.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I can’t explain it to you. It was so wild. It goes to show you: You get into a tinkle contest with a skunk, you get tinkle all over you,'” Pelosi said, according to an aide in the room. “You can’t let him take you down that path. But the fact is we did get him to say, to fully own that the shutdown was his. That was an accomplishment.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In another comment sure to irk the president, Pelosi went even further, saying that Trump’s obsession with the border wall is “like a manhood thing for him. As if manhood could ever be associated with him.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The tense exchanges underscored the challenges in the coming two years of divided government. Trump diverted from discussing Democrats’ takeover of the House, choosing to focus on GOP gains in the Senate — thanks, in large part, to a very Republican-friendly map in the 2018 midterms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When the president brags that he won North Dakota and Indiana, he’s in real trouble,” Schumer jabbed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Well, I did,” Trump retorted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The White House tried to paint a very different picture of the meeting after the fact, with press secretary Sarah Sanders saying in a statement, “President Trump had a constructive dialogue with Democrat Leaders Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi,” although “Major disagreement remains on the issue of border security and transparency.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump himself told reporters later on Tuesday that “believe it or not, I think it was a very friendly meeting….I’ve actually liked [Schumer and Pelosi] for a long period of time, and I respect them both” and that “when the press left, we had a fairly long meeting and we really discussed a lot of great subjects.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And the president showed no regrets for having said he would own a shutdown if it comes to that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If we close down the country I will take it, because we’re closing it down for border security, and I think I win that every single time,” Trump said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Speaking on Capitol Hill, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., acknowledged it had been a “spirited meeting” at the White House, but that “I’d still like to have a smooth ending here” and avoid a government shutdown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m sort of hoping for a Christmas miracle here that we’ll have a level of cooperation that we don’t normally have in getting bills across the Senate floor,” McConnell said, pointing to not just the government funding bill, but the farm bill and a \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/12/11/675596651/senate-to-vote-on-criminal-justice-bill-after-push-from-boosters-white-house\">criminal justice overhaul\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democratic resistance to funding the wall may have prompted President Trump’s pre-meeting tweetstorm, which over a series of five long tweets seemed to simultaneously \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1072471575956504576\">concede defeat\u003c/a> and declare victory on wall funding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">…..I look forward to my meeting with Chuck Schumer & Nancy Pelosi. In 2006, Democrats voted for a Wall, and they were right to do so. Today, they no longer want Border Security. They will fight it at all cost, and Nancy must get votes for Speaker.

Sometimes he leaves out specific dollar amounts (though the standing ask is $5 billion). \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1070879369432850433\">And his use of the phrase “border security”\u003c/a> indicates more than just funding to build the wall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Arizona, together with our Military and Border Patrol, is bracing for a massive surge at a NON-WALLED area.

Trump (@realDonaldTrump) \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1070879369432850433?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 7, 2018\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>“Congress must fully fund border security in the year-ending funding bill,” Trump said Friday in a speech at a law enforcement conference. “We have to — we have to get this done. They’re playing games. They’re playing political games. I actually think the politics of what they’re doing is very bad for them, but we’re going to very soon find out. Maybe I’m not right, but usually I’m right.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats, looking at public opinion, may feel they have some leverage in the talks. A \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/12/11/675334306/poll-americans-want-trump-to-compromise-on-border-wall-amid-possible-shutdown\">new NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist poll \u003c/a>out Tuesday shows that 57 percent of Americans, including 63 percent of independents, want the president to compromise on the border wall to prevent gridlock and not risk a government shutdown. Two-thirds of Republicans, however, want the president to stand his ground. And President Trump is often laser focused on his base.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>A history of failed meetings with “Chuck and Nancy”\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The days of high expectations for White House summits leading to bipartisan breakthroughs were well in the past even before Tuesday’s Oval Office throw down.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A little more than a year ago, Trump had a couple of meetings with Schumer and Pelosi. He said he’d worked out a deal on immigration with “Chuck and Nancy,” as he called them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think something can happen,” Trump told reporters. “We’ll see what happens. But something will happen.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nothing happened. The deal blew up without even an agreement on what the deal was.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Can Trump work with a Democratic House next year?\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The sparring between Trump, Pelosi and Schumer may well be a preview of the next two years of divided government. Both Trump and Pelosi, who is expected to once again become speaker when Democrats take control of the House, have talked about the potential for bipartisan compromise on things like infrastructure and prescription drug prices. But they’ve also both foreshadowed conflict.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pelosi and Democrats are promising robust investigations of Trump and his administration, and Trump has said that would lead to a “warlike posture.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Then at the end of two years, nothing is done,” Trump predicted. “Now what’s bad for them is being in the majority, I’m just going to blame them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This leaves many questions: Are Democrats willing or able to compromise with Trump?

And I will shut it down for border security,” Trump told House and Senate Democratic leaders as Vice President Pence sat by stoically.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The statement from Trump came in an extraordinary show before the cameras and the press, with minutes of tense back-and-forth with both Pelosi, the likely incoming House speaker, and Schumer, the Senate minority leader.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democratic leaders have made it clear they don’t intend to give the president a victory on funding for his signature border wall, and afterward released a statement reiterating that “We gave the president two options that would keep the government open.

According to an aide, the call was around 4 p.m. and lasted about a minute.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Speaking immediately afterthe meeting, both Schumer and Pelosi thought they had emerged with the upper hand after seemingly baiting Trump into taking the blame if there’s a partial shutdown just days before Christmas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This Trump shutdown, this temper tantrum he seems to want to throw, will not get him his wall,” the Senate minority leader told reporters outside the White House.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Throughout the meeting, Trump kept insisting that much of the wall has already been built (numerous fact checkers earlier this year \u003ca href=\"https://www.factcheck.org/2018/04/has-the-border-wall-begun/\">determined it hasn’t\u003c/a>, which Schumer pointed out) and he’s also said that the military can build the rest. In a statement provided to NPR Tuesday evening, a spokesperson for the Department of Defense said “to date, there is no plan to build sections of the wall.” But, “Congress has provided options under [existing law] that could permit the Department of Defense to fund border barrier projects, such as in support of counter drug operations or national emergencies.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During the 2016 campaign, Trump also kept claiming that Mexico would pay to build the wall, but he has since dropped that talking point.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pelosi insisted during the meeting that the cameras should leave, saying afterward she made such a request because “we didn’t want to contradict the president when he was putting forth figures that have no basis in fact. … I didn’t want to say in front of those people, ‘You have no idea what you’re talking about.'”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Except by making that comment just after leaving the Oval Office, Pelosi was saying just that. She also kept trying to explain to Trump that there wasn’t enough support even in the GOP-controlled House for his border wall, urging him to accept a continuous funding resolution at the current spending levels, or $1.3 billion for a year. But Trump kept interjecting to shift blame, saying a House vote wouldn’t matter since he needs to get to 60 votes in the Senate anyway and that would require help from Democrats — a frequent complaint of his.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back on Capitol Hill, Pelosi told fellow Democratic lawmakers in private that she was “trying to be the mom” in the room.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I can’t explain it to you. It was so wild. It goes to show you: You get into a tinkle contest with a skunk, you get tinkle all over you,'” Pelosi said, according to an aide in the room. “You can’t let him take you down that path. But the fact is we did get him to say, to fully own that the shutdown was his. That was an accomplishment.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In another comment sure to irk the president, Pelosi went even further, saying that Trump’s obsession with the border wall is “like a manhood thing for him. As if manhood could ever be associated with him.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The tense exchanges underscored the challenges in the coming two years of divided government. Trump diverted from discussing Democrats’ takeover of the House, choosing to focus on GOP gains in the Senate — thanks, in large part, to a very Republican-friendly map in the 2018 midterms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When the president brags that he won North Dakota and Indiana, he’s in real trouble,” Schumer jabbed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Well, I did,” Trump retorted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The White House tried to paint a very different picture of the meeting after the fact, with press secretary Sarah Sanders saying in a statement, “President Trump had a constructive dialogue with Democrat Leaders Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi,” although “Major disagreement remains on the issue of border security and transparency.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump himself told reporters later on Tuesday that “believe it or not, I think it was a very friendly meeting….I’ve actually liked [Schumer and Pelosi] for a long period of time, and I respect them both” and that “when the press left, we had a fairly long meeting and we really discussed a lot of great subjects.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And the president showed no regrets for having said he would own a shutdown if it comes to that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If we close down the country I will take it, because we’re closing it down for border security, and I think I win that every single time,” Trump said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Speaking on Capitol Hill, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., acknowledged it had been a “spirited meeting” at the White House, but that “I’d still like to have a smooth ending here” and avoid a government shutdown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m sort of hoping for a Christmas miracle here that we’ll have a level of cooperation that we don’t normally have in getting bills across the Senate floor,” McConnell said, pointing to not just the government funding bill, but the farm bill and a \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/12/11/675596651/senate-to-vote-on-criminal-justice-bill-after-push-from-boosters-white-house\">criminal justice overhaul\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democratic resistance to funding the wall may have prompted President Trump’s pre-meeting tweetstorm, which over a series of five long tweets seemed to simultaneously \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1072471575956504576\">concede defeat\u003c/a> and declare victory on wall funding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">…..I look forward to my meeting with Chuck Schumer & Nancy Pelosi. In 2006, Democrats voted for a Wall, and they were right to do so. Today, they no longer want Border Security. They will fight it at all cost, and Nancy must get votes for Speaker.

Sometimes he leaves out specific dollar amounts (though the standing ask is $5 billion). \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1070879369432850433\">And his use of the phrase “border security”\u003c/a> indicates more than just funding to build the wall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Arizona, together with our Military and Border Patrol, is bracing for a massive surge at a NON-WALLED area.

Trump (@realDonaldTrump) \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1070879369432850433?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 7, 2018\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>“Congress must fully fund border security in the year-ending funding bill,” Trump said Friday in a speech at a law enforcement conference. “We have to — we have to get this done. They’re playing games. They’re playing political games. I actually think the politics of what they’re doing is very bad for them, but we’re going to very soon find out. Maybe I’m not right, but usually I’m right.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats, looking at public opinion, may feel they have some leverage in the talks. A \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/12/11/675334306/poll-americans-want-trump-to-compromise-on-border-wall-amid-possible-shutdown\">new NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist poll \u003c/a>out Tuesday shows that 57 percent of Americans, including 63 percent of independents, want the president to compromise on the border wall to prevent gridlock and not risk a government shutdown. Two-thirds of Republicans, however, want the president to stand his ground. And President Trump is often laser focused on his base.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>A history of failed meetings with “Chuck and Nancy”\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The days of high expectations for White House summits leading to bipartisan breakthroughs were well in the past even before Tuesday’s Oval Office throw down.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A little more than a year ago, Trump had a couple of meetings with Schumer and Pelosi. He said he’d worked out a deal on immigration with “Chuck and Nancy,” as he called them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think something can happen,” Trump told reporters. “We’ll see what happens. But something will happen.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nothing happened. The deal blew up without even an agreement on what the deal was.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Can Trump work with a Democratic House next year?\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The sparring between Trump, Pelosi and Schumer may well be a preview of the next two years of divided government. Both Trump and Pelosi, who is expected to once again become speaker when Democrats take control of the House, have talked about the potential for bipartisan compromise on things like infrastructure and prescription drug prices. But they’ve also both foreshadowed conflict.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pelosi and Democrats are promising robust investigations of Trump and his administration, and Trump has said that would lead to a “warlike posture.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Then at the end of two years, nothing is done,” Trump predicted. “Now what’s bad for them is being in the majority, I’m just going to blame them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This leaves many questions: Are Democrats willing or able to compromise with Trump? Is Trump willing to deal? If he is, will congressional Republicans go along? And, given the way Trump has changed his mind in the midst of past negotiations, will anyone trust him?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, allies of the president and Pelosi interviewed for this story say some limited compromise is possible.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think there’s several positions the president has that frankly line up more traditionally with Democrats,” said Marc Short, former director of legislative affairs for the Trump administration. “The question I think that is yet to be determined is whether or not Democrats will give their leadership the flexibility to negotiate with the president.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s one way of pinning blame back on the other party when big things fail to get done.

With striking losses in Orange County and the Central Valley, the Republican Party’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11704247/these-7-california-congressional-races-could-determine-which-party-controls-the-house\">diminished congressional delegation\u003c/a> will now represent a less diverse and less well-off subset of Californians and an electorate that was most enamored with the president. It will also be a much smaller portion of the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This year, 26 percent of Californians are represented in Congress by a Republican. Next year, that number will fall to 13 percent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prior to the election, the average Californian living in a Republican-held district earned $65,634 per year. That’s slightly above the state average of $63,783. The average district was also slightly less educated than the state as whole (19 percent have bachelor’s degrees compared to 20 percent statewide) and significantly whiter (49 percent to 38 percent).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://infogram.com/changing-cagop-1hnq41wxzkvd63z\">http://infogram.com/changing-cagop-1hnq41wxzkvd63z\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in an \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/elections/results\">election\u003c/a> that cost them seven of their 14 seats, the GOP was driven inland, losing every seat that touches the Pacific Ocean and tossed out of its former stronghold in Orange County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The party also lost the suburbs north of Los Angeles and — assuming Democrat T.J. Cox maintains his lead over Rep. David Valadao in Hanford — two seats in the Central Valley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And so come January, when only half of the Republican delegation will return to Washington, D.C., the average income of the new, diminished GOP-represented electorate will be nearly $5,000 lower. It will also be majority non-Latino white.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Only 16 percent of the population will have a college degree. And notably, every district in which less than a majority of voters supported Trump in 2016 abandoned the Republican brand this year. Only Trump country remains.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This could make it all the more difficult for Republicans who want to rebuild the party.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the GOP’s broader electoral viability in California may depend on its willingness to disassociate itself from the politics of the president, the remaining Republican members of Congress — representing the most fiercely Trumpian corners of the state — may have little incentive to do that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://CALmatters.org\">CALmatters.org\u003c/a> is a nonprofit, nonpartisan media venture explaining California policies and politics.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

With striking losses in Orange County and the Central Valley, the Republican Party’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11704247/these-7-california-congressional-races-could-determine-which-party-controls-the-house\">diminished congressional delegation\u003c/a> will now represent a less diverse and less well-off subset of Californians and an electorate that was most enamored with the president. It will also be a much smaller portion of the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This year, 26 percent of Californians are represented in Congress by a Republican. Next year, that number will fall to 13 percent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prior to the election, the average Californian living in a Republican-held district earned $65,634 per year. That’s slightly above the state average of $63,783. The average district was also slightly less educated than the state as whole (19 percent have bachelor’s degrees compared to 20 percent statewide) and significantly whiter (49 percent to 38 percent).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://infogram.com/changing-cagop-1hnq41wxzkvd63z\">http://infogram.com/changing-cagop-1hnq41wxzkvd63z\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

David Valadao in Hanford — two seats in the Central Valley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And so come January, when only half of the Republican delegation will return to Washington, D.C., the average income of the new, diminished GOP-represented electorate will be nearly $5,000 lower.
