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>A federal judge in San Diego gave provisional approval this week to a settlement agreement that gives hundreds of migrant parents and children separated at the U.S.-Mexico border another chance to apply for asylum — but some immigrant advocates say the agreement unfairly excludes hundreds of already-deported families.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The settlement comes more than three months after U.S. District Judge Dana Sabraw halted a Trump administration “zero tolerance” policy that led to thousands of children, including infants and toddlers, being forcibly taken from their parents in Border Patrol stations, ostensibly so the parents could be prosecuted in criminal court for illegally entering the United States. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sabraw has been overseeing the reunification of 2,654 children with their families, and all but 358 children have so far been released to a parent or other sponsor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At a San Diego hearing Tuesday, Sabraw congratulated attorneys on the progress toward reunifications.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We appear to be moving closer to wrapping things up,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Rights Under the Settlement Agreement\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The agreement reached between the government and the American Civil Liberties Union will resolve three separate lawsuits challenging migrant family separations, and give children and parents who are still in the United States a chance to re-file an asylum claim and provide them legal help to do so.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ACLU attorney Lee Gelernt says the agreement protects the asylum rights of at least 1,000 immigrant children and parents by giving them a new interview regarding credible fear in their home countries — the first hurdle in applying for asylum.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If they pass, they and their child will get to pursue asylum in more full immigration hearings,” Gelernt said. “If the parents don't pass, the child will get to have an asylum hearing. And if they [the children] pass, both parent and child will get to have a more full process to seek asylum.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Deported Parents Face Untenable Choice\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>But advocates say the settlement unfairly excludes 414 parents deported by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement without their children.

The press release says they’re expected to be transferred to Virginia, where they will appear for arraignment and additional proceedings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Original Post, Tues. Oct. 2: \u003c/strong>CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — Four members of a militant white supremacist group from California were arrested on charges of traveling to Virginia last year to incite a riot and attack counterprotesters at a white nationalist rally that turned deadly, federal authorities said Tuesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The defendants — Benjamin Drake Daley, Michael Paul Miselis, Thomas Walter Gillen and Cole Evan White — are part of the Rise Above Movement, which espouses anti-Semitic views and meets regularly in public parks to train in boxing and other fighting techniques, according to an affidavit written by an FBI agent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The affidavit alleges the four were “among the most violent individuals present in Charlottesville” in August 2017 during a torch-lit march on the University of Virginia campus and a larger rally in downtown the following day. It says photos and video footage shows they attacked counterprotesters, “which in some cases resulted in serious injuries.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The men have also taken part in “acts of violence” at political rallies in Huntington Beach, Berkeley and other places, the affidavit alleges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the men — Cole Evan White — \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11611785/free-speech-debate-should-top-dog-worker-be-out-of-job-for-attending-white-supremacist-rally\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">is a former employee of the Top Dog restaurant in Berkeley\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shortly after the violence in Charlottesville, Top Dog issued a statement saying restaurant staff had confronted White about his participation in the rally, and that White had voluntarily resigned. A tweet from Aug. 12, 2017 purports to identify White in a torch-carrying crowd at the white supremacist rally:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/YesYoureRacist/status/896423173914230784\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>White was also involved in previous white supremacist rallies that turned violent, according to Emily Marshall, who said she was assaulted by him at a Berkeley rally in April, 2017 after she had been punched in the face by \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11611600/californian-who-helped-organize-charlottesville-protests-used-berkeley-as-a-test-run\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Nathan Damigo\u003c/a>, a leading white nationalist in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Damigo is not among the four men arrested this week over the violence in Charlottesville.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11611600/californian-who-helped-organize-charlottesville-protests-used-berkeley-as-a-test-run\">Californian Who Helped Lead Charlottesville Protests Used Berkeley as a Test Run\u003c/a>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11611600/californian-who-helped-organize-charlottesville-protests-used-berkeley-as-a-test-run\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/20170813_NathanDamigo_Credit_BertJohnson-1-1038x576.jpg\" alt=\"\">\u003c/a>\u003c/figure>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>“This is a group that essentially subscribes to an anti-Semitic, racist ideology, and then organizes, trains and deploys to various political rallies, not only to espouse this particular ideology but also to engage in acts of violence against folks who are taking a contrary point of view,” U.S. Attorney Thomas Cullen said at a news conference in Charlottesville held to announce the charges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All four men were arrested early Tuesday morning, Cullen said. Three of them — Daley and Gillen, of Redondo Beach, and Miselis, of Lawndale — were expected to make initial court appearances later Tuesday, while White, of Clayton, was due in court Wednesday, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It wasn’t clear if the men had attorneys who could comment on their behalf, and attempts to reach their relatives were not immediately successful.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cullen said each defendant faces up to 10 years in prison if convicted on the two counts they each face: traveling to incite riots and conspiracy to riot. However, defendants often get less than the maximum under federal sentencing guidelines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The arrests come more than a year after hundreds of white nationalists descended on Charlottesville in part to protest the planned removal of a statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Clashes erupted Aug. 11, 2017, as a crowd of white nationalists marching through the University of Virginia campus carrying torches and chanting racist slogans encountered a small group of counterprotesters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The following day, more violence broke out between counterprotesters and attendees of the “Unite the Right” rally, which was believed to be the largest gathering of white nationalists in at least a decade. Street fighting exploded before the scheduled event could begin and went on for nearly an hour in view of police until authorities forced the crowd to disperse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cullen said investigators sifted through “an incredible volume” of video and still photographs to review the movements of the four men and determine whether they could claim they were only defending themselves after being attacked by others at the rally. He said prosecutors believe there was “no provocation” for them to engage in violence that day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The four, he said, went to the rally with their hands taped, “ready to do street battle.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then they engaged in punching, kicking, head-butting and pushing, assaulting an African-American man, two women and a minister who was wearing a clerical collar, Cullen said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In our view, these four committed particularly violent acts in Charlottesville. Secondly, they committed violent acts in California at other rallies. Therefore, in our view, they were essentially serial rioters,” Cullen said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the Anti-Defamation League, Rise Above Movement members believe they are fighting against a “modern world” corrupted by the “destructive cultural influences” of liberals, Jews, Muslims and non-white immigrants. Members refer to themselves as the mixed martial arts club of the “alt-right” fringe movement, a loose mix of neo-Nazis, white nationalists and other far-right extremists.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They very much operate like a street-fighting club,” said Oren Segal, director of the ADL’s Center on Extremism.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The group has roots in the racist skinhead movement in southern California, Segal said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Daley figures “prominently” in the organization, according to the affidavit, which also cites news organization ProPublica’s efforts to identify Rise Above Movement members involved in the violence by reviewing video footage of the clashes.

It came eight days after the arrest of the four defendants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prosecutors say the men were members of the Rise Above Movement, a militant white supremacist group that trains in fighting techniques.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They are accused of committing violent acts during an Aug. 11, 2017, nighttime march at the University of Virginia and during a larger rally in Charlottesville the next day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All four made initial court appearances in California last week. The press release says they’re expected to be transferred to Virginia, where they will appear for arraignment and additional proceedings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Original Post, Tues. Oct. 2: \u003c/strong>CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — Four members of a militant white supremacist group from California were arrested on charges of traveling to Virginia last year to incite a riot and attack counterprotesters at a white nationalist rally that turned deadly, federal authorities said Tuesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The defendants — Benjamin Drake Daley, Michael Paul Miselis, Thomas Walter Gillen and Cole Evan White — are part of the Rise Above Movement, which espouses anti-Semitic views and meets regularly in public parks to train in boxing and other fighting techniques, according to an affidavit written by an FBI agent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The affidavit alleges the four were “among the most violent individuals present in Charlottesville” in August 2017 during a torch-lit march on the University of Virginia campus and a larger rally in downtown the following day. It says photos and video footage shows they attacked counterprotesters, “which in some cases resulted in serious injuries.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The men have also taken part in “acts of violence” at political rallies in Huntington Beach, Berkeley and other places, the affidavit alleges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the men — Cole Evan White — \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11611785/free-speech-debate-should-top-dog-worker-be-out-of-job-for-attending-white-supremacist-rally\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">is a former employee of the Top Dog restaurant in Berkeley\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shortly after the violence in Charlottesville, Top Dog issued a statement saying restaurant staff had confronted White about his participation in the rally, and that White had voluntarily resigned. A tweet from Aug. 12, 2017 purports to identify White in a torch-carrying crowd at the white supremacist rally:\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Three of them — Daley and Gillen, of Redondo Beach, and Miselis, of Lawndale — were expected to make initial court appearances later Tuesday, while White, of Clayton, was due in court Wednesday, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It wasn’t clear if the men had attorneys who could comment on their behalf, and attempts to reach their relatives were not immediately successful.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cullen said each defendant faces up to 10 years in prison if convicted on the two counts they each face: traveling to incite riots and conspiracy to riot. However, defendants often get less than the maximum under federal sentencing guidelines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The arrests come more than a year after hundreds of white nationalists descended on Charlottesville in part to protest the planned removal of a statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Clashes erupted Aug. 11, 2017, as a crowd of white nationalists marching through the University of Virginia campus carrying torches and chanting racist slogans encountered a small group of counterprotesters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The following day, more violence broke out between counterprotesters and attendees of the “Unite the Right” rally, which was believed to be the largest gathering of white nationalists in at least a decade. Street fighting exploded before the scheduled event could begin and went on for nearly an hour in view of police until authorities forced the crowd to disperse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cullen said investigators sifted through “an incredible volume” of video and still photographs to review the movements of the four men and determine whether they could claim they were only defending themselves after being attacked by others at the rally. He said prosecutors believe there was “no provocation” for them to engage in violence that day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The four, he said, went to the rally with their hands taped, “ready to do street battle.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then they engaged in punching, kicking, head-butting and pushing, assaulting an African-American man, two women and a minister who was wearing a clerical collar, Cullen said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In our view, these four committed particularly violent acts in Charlottesville. Secondly, they committed violent acts in California at other rallies. Therefore, in our view, they were essentially serial rioters,” Cullen said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The testimony from both Ford and Kavanaugh — accuser and accused — comes after a year in which the rise and the cultural influence of the #MeToo movement has raised sensitivity to the accounts of sexual assault victims, a significant cultural shift since 1991 when Anita Hill testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee about her allegations of sexual harassment against Clarence Thomas during his confirmation process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Watch Kavanaugh's opening statement:\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=6&v=lL94tAsjYfk\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/09/26/651545283/watch-live-trump-holds-press-conference-at-u-n\">Speaking Wednesday during a press conference\u003c/a>, Trump said the allegations against Kavanaugh \"are all false to me.\" But the president indicated he would be watching Ford's testimony to determine whether she is believable, and even suggested he might withdraw the nomination based on what occurred Thursday.

One point where he was especially emotional was in talking about the toll the accusations have taken on his family, particularly his two young daughters. He teared up as he said his 10-year-old daughter, when saying her bedtime prayers, said they should pray for Ford. \"We mean no ill will,\" \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YK_6j-Kc-3I\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kavanaugh said\u003c/a>, and he said he believed Ford may have been a victim of sexual assault at one point in her life — just not by him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ford said she didn't remember all of the specifics such as the date or place of the alleged attack, which has led some to question the veracity of her claims. But, with her voice cracking, she did recall certain vivid details, adding: \"Indelible in the hippocampus is the laughter, the uproarious laughter between the two and their having fun at my expense.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ford also said the details she does remember \"about that night that bring me here today are ones I will never forget. They have been seared into my memory and have haunted me episodically as an adult.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Watch Ford's opening statement:\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJORwf3izUU\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When she was 15 and Kavanaugh was 17, the two ended up at the same party. Ford said she had one beer, while Kavanaugh and his friend, Mark Judge, \"were visibly drunk.\" When she went upstairs to use the restroom, Kavanaugh and Judge pushed her into a bedroom and locked the door. Ford claimed Kavanaugh pushed her onto the bed and \"began running his hands over my body and grinding his hips into me.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I believed he was going to rape me. I tried to yell for help. When I did, Brett put his hand over my mouth to stop me from screaming. This was what terrified me the most, and has had the most lasting impact on my life. It was hard for me to breathe, and I thought that Brett was accidentally going to kill me,\" Ford said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kavanaugh admitted that he drank in high school — \"sometimes I had too many beers. I liked beer. I still like beer\" — but said he \"did not drink beer to the point of blacking out, and I never sexually assaulted anyone.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If every American who drinks beer or drank beer in high school is suddenly presumed guilty of sexual assault in high school, it will be an ugly place in this country,\" Kavanaugh said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://youtu.be/AOr808UXOgE\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He also presented calendars he kept during high school — a practice he compared to a diary that he modeled after his father's own habit — and said they showed he was often out of town during the summer in question when Ford alleges the assault occurred.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ford also insisted she had no political agenda in coming forward with her accusations, telling lawmakers, \"I am an independent person and I am no one's pawn.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The hearing got off to a tense start, exposing the deep partisan divides that have colored the accusations from Ford and other women. Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, first acknowledged that Kavanaugh, Ford and their families have \"received vile threats\" since the allegations became public.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What they have endured ought to be considered by all of us as unacceptable and a poor reflection on the state of civility in our democracy,\" Grassley said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But then he went on to chastise the committee's ranking member, Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., for a delay in giving the full committee the private letter setting forth the allegations against Kavanaugh that she received back in July from Ford, who is a constituent of Feinstein's in California. Ford had first requested that her allegations remain private, but as she later told the committee, when it became clear her name would be public, she then told her story to \u003cem>The Washington Post. \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Grassley also pointed out that many of the witnesses Ford has identified deny that the party in question took place. He also defended hiring an outside attorney to assist with questioning during Thursday's hearing, saying he saw \"no basis for complaint [from Democrats] other than just plain politics.\" Rachel Mitchell \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/09/26/651735137/sex-crimes-prosecutor-picked-for-kavanaugh-hearing-brings-decades-of-experience\">is a sex crimes prosecutor\u003c/a> from Arizona who has pushed for best practices in investigations to protect and serve victims of assault.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Feinstein pushed back during her subsequent remarks, pointing out that most sexual assaults go unreported and that 1 in 3 women and 1 in 6 men will experience some form of sexual violence in their lives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She warned colleagues that \"the entire country is watching how we handle these allegations\" and she criticized a \"rush to judgment\" on the allegations and quick push for confirmation, calling it a \"real question of character for someone who is asking for a lifetime appointment on the Supreme Court.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is not a trial for Dr. Ford. This is a job interview for Brett Kavanaugh,\" Feinstein said, asking, \"Is he the best we can do?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://youtu.be/uIbxZ_96BZo\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The hearing pivoted somewhat awkwardly between Republican senators ceding their time to Mitchell, who questioned Ford about her past statements to the media and her specific memories about the circumstances of the alleged assault. Among her questions, the prosecutor tried to poke holes in Ford's fear of flying, which Ford said was triggered by PTSD following the alleged assault. And Mitchell pressed Ford about the polygraph she took to back up her claims — and which Ford revealed she took outside Baltimore just after she had attended her grandmother's funeral.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ford explained how the incident had affected her throughout her life — from struggling academically during her undergraduate years at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, to difficulty in forming relationships and friendships, and ultimately pressing for a second front door during a remodel of her California home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Near the end of her questioning, Mitchell reminded Ford that the other people she identified as being at the party have told the committee, under penalty of felony, that they did not remember the gathering or the incident in question.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I don't expect that P.J. and Leland would remember this evening,\" Ford responded. \"It was a very unremarkable party ... because nothing happened to them that evening.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democratic senators used their time to largely reiterate their support for Ford, bemoan how she was being treated and criticize that a further probe by the FBI — as Ford has requested — was not undertaken.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You have given America an amazing teaching moment,\" Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., told the college professor. \"You have inspired and you have enlightened America. You have inspired and given courage to women to come forward, as they have done to every one of our offices and many other public places.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., noted he was also in the Senate during hearings that have drawn obvious parallels to this one — Hill's testimony during the Thomas confirmation hearings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Leahy said the Senate \"failed\" Hill back in 1991, and \"I am concerned we are doing a lot less for these three women today.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Watch Sen. Leahy's questioning:\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://youtu.be/mhxpuj32ERg\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., a former district attorney and state attorney general, told Ford that, \"I believe you, and I believe many Americans across this country believe you.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When it was time to question Kavanaugh, Democrats pressed him about the contents of his high school calendars and yearbook quotations, which had references to drinking games and partying.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Senate Minority Whip Dick Durbin, D-Ill., grilled Kavanaugh on whether or not he would submit to an FBI investigation into the charges, as Democrats want. He said he would go along with whatever the committee wants — which the Republican majority does not think is necessary — but never said on record that he would call for an FBI investigation himself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Watch Sen. Durbin's questioning:\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://youtu.be/s6pVXCVPJzU\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., pressed Kavanaugh about his drinking habits, he tried to turn the question back on the lawmaker and ask about her drinking. After a recess, Kavanaugh apologized for how he handled that line of questioning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Grassley ceded his questioning time to Mitchell, who forcefully pressed Kavanaugh on his denials and his drinking habits, but then several others — unlike with their opportunity to question Ford — took their allotted time to condemn how Kavanaugh has been treated. It was a marked shift from Republicans' hesitancy to question Ford, cognizant of how a group of men pressing a woman on her claims of sexual assault might come across.

Through the final stretch of the hearing, Mitchell was not given the opportunity to probe his testimony, as she was with Ford's.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham became the first GOP senator to use his time to address Kavanaugh, and he angrily lashed out at Democrats on the committee for stonewalling the nomination.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You've got nothing to apologize for,\" Graham told Kavanaugh. \"This is the most unethical sham since I've been in politics. And if you really wanted to know the truth, you sure as hell wouldn't have done what you've done to this guy.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Graham accused Democrats of simply trying to keep the vacant Supreme Court seat open until at least the midterm elections, when they hope they might gain control of the Senate, exclaiming, \"Boy, y'all want power. I hope you never get it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is not a job interview. This is hell,\" Graham said, riffing on an earlier comment by Feinstein. \"This is going to destroy the ability of good people to come forward because of this crap.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Senate Majority Whip John Cornyn also used his time after Graham to talk to Kavanaugh, comparing the allegations and questions that the Supreme Court nominee has had to face to the infamous 1954 McCarthy hearings that were purportedly aimed at rooting out communism in the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, said, \"this is worse than [failed Reagan Supreme Court nominee] Robert Bork and I didn't think it could get any worse than that. This is worse than Clarence Thomas, and I didn't think it could get any worse than that.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Retiring Arizona Sen. Jeff Flake — a frequent Trump critic who has shown sympathy toward Ford — is a critical swing vote on both the committee and in the full Senate. The Republican's comments toward Kavanaugh were brief and he gave no hint of how he might vote, simply saying that, \"In the end, there is likely to be as much doubt as certainty\" about whether Ford or Kavanaugh is telling the truth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Watch Sen.

Both actress Alyssa Milano — who has been an advocate for sexual assault survivors after speaking up about her own assault — and New York Democratic Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand are in the hearing room as guests of Democrats on the Judiciary Committee in the Dirksen Senate Office Building.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There were protesters and demonstrators next door in the Hart Senate Office Building — mostly women with some men, the majority of whom are opposing Kavanaugh's nomination.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just after the hearings concluded, the full Senate GOP conference was set to meet, likely to decide whether the committee would go ahead with a vote on the nomination as early as Friday morning. Republican leaders are eager to move ahead on the nomination and get it to the Senate floor quickly. Democrats have continued calling for delays to the hearing and the committee vote until the FBI investigates the allegations against Kavanaugh.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>NPR's Scott Detrow and Art Silverman contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2018 NPR.

Ford had first requested that her allegations remain private, but as she later told the committee, when it became clear her name would be public, she then told her story to \u003cem>The Washington Post. \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Grassley also pointed out that many of the witnesses Ford has identified deny that the party in question took place.

Among her questions, the prosecutor tried to poke holes in Ford's fear of flying, which Ford said was triggered by PTSD following the alleged assault. And Mitchell pressed Ford about the polygraph she took to back up her claims — and which Ford revealed she took outside Baltimore just after she had attended her grandmother's funeral.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ford explained how the incident had affected her throughout her life — from struggling academically during her undergraduate years at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, to difficulty in forming relationships and friendships, and ultimately pressing for a second front door during a remodel of her California home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Near the end of her questioning, Mitchell reminded Ford that the other people she identified as being at the party have told the committee, under penalty of felony, that they did not remember the gathering or the incident in question.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I don't expect that P.J. and Leland would remember this evening,\" Ford responded. \"It was a very unremarkable party ... because nothing happened to them that evening.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democratic senators used their time to largely reiterate their support for Ford, bemoan how she was being treated and criticize that a further probe by the FBI — as Ford has requested — was not undertaken.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You have given America an amazing teaching moment,\" Sen.

He said he would go along with whatever the committee wants — which the Republican majority does not think is necessary — but never said on record that he would call for an FBI investigation himself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Watch Sen.

Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., pressed Kavanaugh about his drinking habits, he tried to turn the question back on the lawmaker and ask about her drinking. After a recess, Kavanaugh apologized for how he handled that line of questioning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Grassley ceded his questioning time to Mitchell, who forcefully pressed Kavanaugh on his denials and his drinking habits, but then several others — unlike with their opportunity to question Ford — took their allotted time to condemn how Kavanaugh has been treated. It was a marked shift from Republicans' hesitancy to question Ford, cognizant of how a group of men pressing a woman on her claims of sexual assault might come across. (There are six GOP women in the Senate, but none sit on the Judiciary Committee.) Through the final stretch of the hearing, Mitchell was not given the opportunity to probe his testimony, as she was with Ford's.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham became the first GOP senator to use his time to address Kavanaugh, and he angrily lashed out at Democrats on the committee for stonewalling the nomination.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You've got nothing to apologize for,\" Graham told Kavanaugh. \"This is the most unethical sham since I've been in politics. And if you really wanted to know the truth, you sure as hell wouldn't have done what you've done to this guy.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Graham accused Democrats of simply trying to keep the vacant Supreme Court seat open until at least the midterm elections, when they hope they might gain control of the Senate, exclaiming, \"Boy, y'all want power. I hope you never get it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is not a job interview. This is hell,\" Graham said, riffing on an earlier comment by Feinstein. \"This is going to destroy the ability of good people to come forward because of this crap.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Senate Majority Whip John Cornyn also used his time after Graham to talk to Kavanaugh, comparing the allegations and questions that the Supreme Court nominee has had to face to the infamous 1954 McCarthy hearings that were purportedly aimed at rooting out communism in the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, said, \"this is worse than [failed Reagan Supreme Court nominee] Robert Bork and I didn't think it could get any worse than that. This is worse than Clarence Thomas, and I didn't think it could get any worse than that.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Retiring Arizona Sen. Jeff Flake — a frequent Trump critic who has shown sympathy toward Ford — is a critical swing vote on both the committee and in the full Senate. The Republican's comments toward Kavanaugh were brief and he gave no hint of how he might vote, simply saying that, \"In the end, there is likely to be as much doubt as certainty\" about whether Ford or Kavanaugh is telling the truth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Watch Sen.

Both actress Alyssa Milano — who has been an advocate for sexual assault survivors after speaking up about her own assault — and New York Democratic Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand are in the hearing room as guests of Democrats on the Judiciary Committee in the Dirksen Senate Office Building.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There were protesters and demonstrators next door in the Hart Senate Office Building — mostly women with some men, the majority of whom are opposing Kavanaugh's nomination.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just after the hearings concluded, the full Senate GOP conference was set to meet, likely to decide whether the committee would go ahead with a vote on the nomination as early as Friday morning. Republican leaders are eager to move ahead on the nomination and get it to the Senate floor quickly. Democrats have continued calling for delays to the hearing and the committee vote until the FBI investigates the allegations against Kavanaugh.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>NPR's Scott Detrow and Art Silverman contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2018 NPR.

If they did not reply, Grassley said, the committee would move ahead with a vote on Kavanaugh’s nomination on Monday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An attorney for Ford called the deadline “arbitrary” and asked that Ford be granted an additional day to consider her options. “[The deadline’s] sole purpose is to bully Dr. Ford and deprive her of the ability to make a considered decision that has life-altering implications for her and her family,” attorney Debra Katz wrote in an email to the committee’s Republican staff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shortly before midnight, Grassley tweeted that he had \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/ChuckGrassley/status/1043344767684366336\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">granted an extension\u003c/a>, telling Ford he wants to hear her testimony. He directly addressed Kavanaugh in a tweet, too, saying, “I hope u understand. It’s not my normal approach to b indecisive.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/ChuckGrassley/status/1043348132657025025\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/ChuckGrassley/status/1043341000989712384\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/ChuckGrassley/status/1043344767684366336\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The committee has asked Ford to testify about her allegation on Wednesday, Sept. 26. Ford’s lawyers and Senate Democrats have pressed for more time, arguing the hearing should take place next Thursday, among other conditions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a series of tweets earlier Friday, Trump cast doubt on Ford’s charge, \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1043126336473055235\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">mentioning her by name for the first time\u003c/a>: “I have no doubt that, if the attack on Dr. Ford was as bad as she says, charges would have been immediately filed with local Law Enforcement Authorities by either her or her loving parents. I ask that she bring those filings forward so that we can learn date, time, and place!”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1043126336473055235\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fact, according to Department of Justice statistics, as of 2016 only 23 percent of rapes or sexual assaults were reported to the police.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Speaking to \u003cem>All Things Considered\u003c/em> host Mary Louise Kelly, Kirsten Leimroth, \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/09/21/650508344/friend-of-christine-blasey-ford-says-she-struggled-months-before-she-came-forwar\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">a close friend of Ford’s\u003c/a>, said:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\n\u003cp>“I know a lot of people that things like this have happened to and they don’t talk about it. You’re embarrassed and ashamed and you don’t think people will believe you. So I don’t think someone will believe you … I don’t think it’s unusual at all that she didn’t tell anyone back them. She did … tell a therapist several years ago, and I know that was one of the things this summer, she was waiting to get a hold of them to see if they had written it down, because she wanted something to back up that she wasn’t just making up the story right now. And so I know she was glad that the therapist did have notes on that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1043130170612244481\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">In another tweet\u003c/a>, Trump said that “radical left lawyers want the FBI to get involved NOW. Why didn’t someone call the FBI 36 years ago?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1043130170612244481\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump’s tweets follow \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4OjEksiJA4\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">an interview\u003c/a> he gave to Fox’s Sean Hannity on Thursday night in Las Vegas, where he appeared at a rally, in which the president first questioned why the FBI hadn’t been called at the time of the alleged assault (which would likely have been handled by local law enforcement).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You say, why didn’t somebody call the FBI 36 years ago?” Trump asked. “I mean, you could also say when did this all happen, what is going on?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“To take a man like this and besmirch — now, with that being said, let her have her say and let’s see how it all works out. But I don’t think you can delay it any longer.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an appearance in Portland on Friday, Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, \u003ca href=\"https://www.pressherald.com/2018/09/21/collins-appalled-by-trumps-tweet-criticizing-kavanaugh-accuser/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">said she was appalled\u003c/a> by Trump’s tweet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“First of all, we know that allegations of sexual assault – I’m not saying that’s what happened in this case – but we know allegations of sexual assault are one of the most unreported crimes that exist. So I thought that the president’s tweet was completely inappropriate and wrong,” Collins said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4OjEksiJA4\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump’s tweets came amid ongoing negotiations over whether and how Ford and Kavanaugh might testify before the Judiciary Committee. The committee initially scheduled a hearing for Monday and had invited Kavanaugh and Ford to testify. In a letter to the committee, Ford’s lawyers said that she would be open to appearing before the panel, but that an appearance Monday “was not possible.” Ford’s lawyers and Democrats on the panel want the FBI to investigate the charges, a move Grassley and other Republicans have dismissed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ford does not want Kavanaugh in the room when she testifies, and her team does not want an outside questioner on the Republican side to be brought in, a source in Ford’s camp tells NPR’s Nina Totenberg.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Friday, Grassley’s camp agreed to the demand that Kavanaugh not be in the committee room, but rejected her request to only allow senators to question the two witnesses, saying it was within committee rules to permit staff attorneys to conduct the questioning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Grassley’s Friday night letter to Ford’s attorneys setting a deadline also rejected two key requests discussed in a conference call with committee staff from both parties on Thursday: to have Kavanaugh testify first and for the committee to subpoena other witnesses like Mark Judge. Ford alleges Judge was there at the time the incident took place when they were in high school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ford says that Kavanaugh groped her and tried to forcibly remove her clothes during a house party in Bethesda, Md., in the early 1980s. Kavanaugh has denied the accusation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In another tweet Friday morning, Trump called Kavanaugh “\u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1043121858797686785\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">a fine man\u003c/a>,” who he said is under assault “by radical left wing politicians who don’t want to know the answers, they just want to destroy and delay.” Trump continued, “I go through this with them ever single day in D.C.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1043121858797686785\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., speaking to conservative activists at the Value Voters Summit in Washington on Friday morning, expressed confidence Kavanaugh would be confirmed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You’ve watched the fight. You’ve watched the tactics. Here’s what I want to tell you: In the very near future, Judge Kavanaugh will be on the United States Supreme Court,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump also lashed out at Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., in \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1043160312315146240\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">his fourth tweet on the Kavanaugh nomination Friday\u003c/a>, renewing his accusation that Feinstein and and Democrats held a letter from Ford in which she first raised the accusation against Kavanaugh “only to release it with a bang after the hearings were OVER,” which Trump asserted was “done very purposefully to Obstruct & Resist & Delay.” Trump continued, “let her testify, or not, and TAKE THE VOTE!”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1043160312315146240\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Feinstein tweeted this week that Ford had sought confidentiality and “I honored that.

The committee initially scheduled a hearing for Monday and had invited Kavanaugh and Ford to testify. In a letter to the committee, Ford’s lawyers said that she would be open to appearing before the panel, but that an appearance Monday “was not possible.” Ford’s lawyers and Democrats on the panel want the FBI to investigate the charges, a move Grassley and other Republicans have dismissed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ford does not want Kavanaugh in the room when she testifies, and her team does not want an outside questioner on the Republican side to be brought in, a source in Ford’s camp tells NPR’s Nina Totenberg.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Friday, Grassley’s camp agreed to the demand that Kavanaugh not be in the committee room, but rejected her request to only allow senators to question the two witnesses, saying it was within committee rules to permit staff attorneys to conduct the questioning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Grassley’s Friday night letter to Ford’s attorneys setting a deadline also rejected two key requests discussed in a conference call with committee staff from both parties on Thursday: to have Kavanaugh testify first and for the committee to subpoena other witnesses like Mark Judge. Ford alleges Judge was there at the time the incident took place when they were in high school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ford says that Kavanaugh groped her and tried to forcibly remove her clothes during a house party in Bethesda, Md., in the early 1980s. Kavanaugh has denied the accusation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In another tweet Friday morning, Trump called Kavanaugh “\u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1043121858797686785\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">a fine man\u003c/a>,” who he said is under assault “by radical left wing politicians who don’t want to know the answers, they just want to destroy and delay.” Trump continued, “I go through this with them ever single day in D.C.”\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

She began working as a research psychologist and biostatistician at Stanford University, one of the most elite universities in the country. She later was hired as a professor in a consortium between Stanford and Palo Alto University. Soon, she married her husband in a nearby coastal town, and they bought a classic Eichler home in Palo Alto and had two sons.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"She is very friendly, outgoing and brilliant, and she is a great mother,\" said clinical psychologist Erin Heinemeyer, a mentee of Ford's who is also a friend. \"I know in general she supports women's rights, and she often stands up for students, and she had expressed concerns to me about other students who might be struggling.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Months after anonymously contacting her elected officials, Ford went public on Sunday, telling The Washington Post that Kavanaugh pinned her to a bed at a Maryland house party in the early 1980s and tried to take her clothes off. He put his hand over her mouth when she tried to scream, she said, and she feared he might inadvertently kill her. She said she was around 15 at the time and he would have been about 17.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Friends and family members say she struggled with the decision to come forward.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"She clearly has nothing to gain and much to lose by going public with her story,\" said Jim Gensheimer, a friend of Ford's. \"I know from things she has told me, including her need to have more than one exit door in her bedroom to prevent her from being trapped, that this event was serious enough to have a lasting impact on her life.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'I think she felt morally compelled to come forward, which is very much in line with what I know of her.

Very hard for me to imagine that anything happened,\" President Donald Trump said Wednesday. \"I think it's a very unfair thing what's going on.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The allegation has shaken up the battle over Kavanaugh's confirmation, and Republicans are calling for a public hearing with both the accuser and the accused testifying. But lawyers for Ford say that she wants an FBI investigation of her allegation before a Judiciary Committee hearing set for Monday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lawyers said in a letter that Ford wants to cooperate with the panel.

She began working as a research psychologist and biostatistician at Stanford University, one of the most elite universities in the country. She later was hired as a professor in a consortium between Stanford and Palo Alto University. Soon, she married her husband in a nearby coastal town, and they bought a classic Eichler home in Palo Alto and had two sons.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"She is very friendly, outgoing and brilliant, and she is a great mother,\" said clinical psychologist Erin Heinemeyer, a mentee of Ford's who is also a friend. \"I know in general she supports women's rights, and she often stands up for students, and she had expressed concerns to me about other students who might be struggling.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

He put his hand over her mouth when she tried to scream, she said, and she feared he might inadvertently kill her. She said she was around 15 at the time and he would have been about 17.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Friends and family members say she struggled with the decision to come forward.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"She clearly has nothing to gain and much to lose by going public with her story,\" said Jim Gensheimer, a friend of Ford's. \"I know from things she has told me, including her need to have more than one exit door in her bedroom to prevent her from being trapped, that this event was serious enough to have a lasting impact on her life.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'I think she felt morally compelled to come forward, which is very much in line with what I know of her.

Very hard for me to imagine that anything happened,\" President Donald Trump said Wednesday. \"I think it's a very unfair thing what's going on.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The allegation has shaken up the battle over Kavanaugh's confirmation, and Republicans are calling for a public hearing with both the accuser and the accused testifying. But lawyers for Ford say that she wants an FBI investigation of her allegation before a Judiciary Committee hearing set for Monday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lawyers said in a letter that Ford wants to cooperate with the panel.
