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.",

Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., one of the Democrats prosecuting Trump. \"Simply stated, impeachment is the constitution's final answer to a president who mistakes himself for a king.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the night's final remarks, Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., said there is overwhelming evidence that the president has done what he is charged with: abuse of power and obstruction of Congress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You can't trust this president to do what's right for this country. He will do what's right for Donald Trump,\" Schiff said. \"If you find him guilty, you must find that he should be removed.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bccnGoJEw_Y\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats resume the trial of the president at 1 p.m. Friday, when House managers are expected to conclude their opening arguments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Thursday, the Democrats focused on Article 1 of impeachment, abuse of power, for their second day of arguments. They will take up Article 2, obstruction of Congress, on Friday. \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/12/10/786579846/read-articles-of-impeachment-against-president-trump\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Read the text of the two articles here\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nadler, an impeachment manager and the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, gave extended remarks on Thursday afternoon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said Trump abused his power by withholding military aid and by putting off meeting with the president of Ukraine, unless the Ukrainian government investigated the activities of former Vice President Joe Biden, a possible political opponent, and his son.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nadler told senators that conduct was wrong and dangerous.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"No president has ever used his office to compel a foreign nation to help him cheat in our elections,\" Nadler said. \"Prior presidents would be shocked to the core by such conduct.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Reports that Democrats were willing to allow one of the Bidens to testify in the trial in exchange for a senior administration official's testimony were shot down by lead impeachment manager Adam Schiff, D-Calif., on Wednesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Nadler began making his case, \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1220410391668371457\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Trump tweeted\u003c/a> that Democrats \"don't want a Witness Trade\" because it \"would be a BIG problem for them.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1220410391668371457?s=20\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nadler also did a bit of trolling in his presentation, playing a 1999 video clip of Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C.,\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>arguing for the conviction of President Bill Clinton. Graham was a House impeachment manager at the time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Graham argued that a \"high crime\" — a constitutional requirement for removing a president — \"doesn't even have to be a crime. It's just when you start using your office and you're acting in a way that hurts people, you've committed a high crime.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VoDKXGdi1xg&feature=youtu.be\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nadler also showed a clip of Harvard Law professor Alan Dershowitz, now one of Trump's defenders, who argued in 1998 that a high crime doesn't have to be \"a technical crime.\" (\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eo312-GYNDk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dershowitz has more recently argued\u003c/a> that evidence of a crime is in fact necessary for impeachment, falling in line with the Trump White House's argument on the matter.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rep. Sylvia Garcia, D-Texas, followed Nadler to the well of the Senate, addressing the issue of Trump's allegations that Biden and his son Hunter had nefarious doings in Ukraine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The allegations against Biden are completely groundless,\" she said. \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/09/24/763502822/what-were-the-bidens-doing-in-ukraine-5-questions-answered\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Read a fact check about their actions in Ukraine here\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Garcia presented a slide that indicated Trump's charges against Biden coincided with polls, including one by Fox News, which showed the former vice president ahead of Trump in a possible 2020 matchup.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She also played video clips of FBI Director Christopher Wray and Trump's former national security adviser Tom Bossert throwing cold water on Trump's claims that Ukraine, not Russia, was behind the hacking of the Democrats computer server in 2016.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During a break, Trump attorney Jay Sekulow dismissed the Democrats' arguments for convicting Trump.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We're hearing the same things over and over,\" he said. Sekulow added that Trump's legal team \"will be putting on a vigorous defense ... and rebutting what they've said.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a rare moment of levity, House manager Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., referred to the almost-unanimous election of New York Yankee shortstop Derek Jeter to baseball's Hall of Fame.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We hope we can subpoena John Bolton, subpoena Mick Mulvaney,\" Jeffries said. \"But perhaps we can all agree to subpoena the Baseball Hall of Fame, to try to figure out who, out of 397 individuals, one person voted against Derek Jeter.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thursday's remarks on the Senate floor follow a day of presentations and arguments in which Democratic impeachment managers \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2020/01/22/797320569/with-the-rules-set-senate-trial-opening-arguments-begin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">implored skeptical Republicans\u003c/a> to buck their party's leadership and vote to remove the president for abusing the power of his office and obstructing Congress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The president's misconduct cannot be decided at the ballot box, for we cannot be assured that the vote will be fairly won,\" Schiff, who also chairs the House Intelligence Committee, said on Wednesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In corruptly using his office to gain a political advantage and abusing the powers of that office in such a way to jeopardize our national security and the integrity of our elections, in obstructing the investigation into his own wrongdoing, the president has shown that he believes that he's above the law and scornful of constraint,\" Schiff said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump's defense team will have its turn to counter Democratic arguments and make a case for the president's acquittal when the prosecution is finished. If Democrats take up all of their allotted time, that would mean House managers would wrap up Friday and the president's defense lawyers would mount a defense starting this weekend.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag=\"impeachment\" label=\"related coverage\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Speaking Wednesday from Davos, Switzerland, Trump called the Democrats leading his prosecution \"sleazebags\" and \"very, very dishonest people,\" and he dismissed the case built against him as \"a hoax.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think it's so bad for the country,\" Trump said, adding: \"I'd love to go to the trial, sit in the front row and stare at their corrupt faces.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Later, Trump lawyer Sekulow bristled at the idea of the president pulling off such a stunt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"His counsel might recommend against that,\" he said with a laugh.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The trial centers on Trump's dealings with Ukraine. In particular, House prosecutors say the president dangled $391 million in congressionally approved security assistance needed to counter Russian aggression as a way to get Kyiv to announce an investigation into Biden and his son Hunter. Such an announcement, House Democrats say, would benefit Trump's reelection prospects.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The president's acquittal is all but certain. Democrats would need 20 GOP senators to defy their party's leadership and vote to convict in order to remove Trump from office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That outcome is not likely with partisan battle lines so deeply drawn, especially in the backdrop of how Americans are \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/11/19/780540637/poll-americans-overwhelmingly-say-impeachment-hearings-wont-change-their-minds\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">deeply divided\u003c/a> over impeachment and with the nation watching as the political proceeding plays out ahead of a presidential election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The White House has blocked key witnesses from participating in the trial and has not cooperated with subpoenas from House investigators. Democrats need four Republicans to join them to win a procedural battle that will enable them to request documents or witness testimony. There are no indications right now that any GOP senators will break with their leadership.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"contributors-text\">\u003cem>NPR's Brakkton Booker contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">\u003cem>Copyright 2020 NPR.

It aimed to bring clarity to decades of political and legal debate over which waters should qualify.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, various business interests painted the regulation as a massive federal overreach. Within weeks after the change was announced in May 2015, \u003ca href=\"https://www.texastribune.org/2015/06/29/texas-sues-obama-administration-epa-water/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">27 states sued to block it.\u003c/a> At the time, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, a leading critic, called the new rule “so broad and open to interpretation that everything from ditches and dry creek beds to gullies to isolated ponds formed after a big rain could be considered a ‘water of the United States.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, as the proposed rollback was taking shape last year, \u003ca href=\"https://thehill.com/policy/energy-environment/475500-14-states-sue-epa-over-rollback-of-obama-era-water-rule\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">14 states sued the EPA\u003c/a> over the impending rule change, saying it “ignores science and the law and strips our waters of basic protections under the Clean Water Act.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a \u003ca href=\"https://yosemite.epa.gov/sab/sabproduct.nsf/ea5d9a9b55cc319285256cbd005a472e/5939af1252ddadfb852584e10053d472/%24FILE/WOTUS%20SAB%20Draft%20Commentary_10_16_19_.pdf\">draft letter\u003c/a> posted online late last month, the 41-member EPA Science Advisory Board, which is made up largely of Trump administration appointees, said the revised definition rule “decreases protection for our Nation’s waters and does not support the objective of restoring and maintaining ‘the chemical, physical and biological integrity’ of these waters.” The letter is signed by the board’s chair, \u003ca href=\"https://www.houstonchronicle.com/business/article/Who-is-Michael-Honeycutt-Controversial-Texas-13054547.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Michael Honeycutt.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a speech on Sunday at the American Farm Bureau Federation’s annual gathering in Austin, Texas, President Trump hinted at the change, calling the 2015 Obama rule “one of the most ridiculous regulations of all.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That was a rule that basically took your property away from you,” he said. “As long as I’m president, government will never micromanage America’s farmers.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said the new regulations would “allow states to manage their water resources based on their own needs and what their farmers and ranchers want.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Trump first proposed the new rule in late 2018, Randy Noel, then chairman of the National Association of Home Builders, \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/12/11/675477583/trump-epa-proposes-big-changes-to-federal-water-protections\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">told NPR\u003c/a> that “I’m pretty excited about it because we hadn’t had any lots to build on.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Noel lives in south Louisiana, an area with a lot of wetlands. He said developers were running scared because it wasn’t ever clear which wetlands were federally regulated and which weren’t. “Hopefully, this redefinition will fix that,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Janette Brimmer, with the legal advocacy group Earthjustice, said in a statement that under the new rule, “few protections will remain to stop polluters from dumping toxic byproducts into our waters.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The revamped rule will not cover smaller ephemeral streams, those that flow only part of the year and dry up at other times. They make up a large part of the waters in \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/04/15/713616827/trump-administration-moves-forward-with-proposal-to-re-define-waterway-protectio\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">New Mexico\u003c/a>, says Rachel Conn with Amigos Bravos, a New Mexico-based conservation group that focuses on water issues. “But they all drain into our bigger systems,” she says. “And it is from these bigger systems that close to 300,000 New Mexicans receive their drinking water.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump \u003ca href=\"https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/presidential-executive-order-restoring-rule-law-federalism-economic-growth-reviewing-waters-united-states-rule/\">ordered a review\u003c/a> of the nation’s waterways barely a month after taking office. He said at the time that while clean water was “in the national interest,” it must be balanced against “promoting economic growth, minimizing regulatory uncertainty, and showing due regard for the roles of the Congress and the States under the Constitution.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since taking office, Trump has aggressively sought to roll back environmental regulations, particularly those seen as an obstacle to business. According to \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2019/climate/trump-environment-rollbacks.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">an analysis by The New York Times\u003c/a> that was updated a month ago, the administration has revised or eliminated more than 90 environmental rules in the past three years, although several were reinstated following legal challenges and several others are still in the courts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2020 NPR.

Within weeks after the change was announced in May 2015, \u003ca href=\"https://www.texastribune.org/2015/06/29/texas-sues-obama-administration-epa-water/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">27 states sued to block it.\u003c/a> At the time, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, a leading critic, called the new rule “so broad and open to interpretation that everything from ditches and dry creek beds to gullies to isolated ponds formed after a big rain could be considered a ‘water of the United States.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, as the proposed rollback was taking shape last year, \u003ca href=\"https://thehill.com/policy/energy-environment/475500-14-states-sue-epa-over-rollback-of-obama-era-water-rule\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">14 states sued the EPA\u003c/a> over the impending rule change, saying it “ignores science and the law and strips our waters of basic protections under the Clean Water Act.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a \u003ca href=\"https://yosemite.epa.gov/sab/sabproduct.nsf/ea5d9a9b55cc319285256cbd005a472e/5939af1252ddadfb852584e10053d472/%24FILE/WOTUS%20SAB%20Draft%20Commentary_10_16_19_.pdf\">draft letter\u003c/a> posted online late last month, the 41-member EPA Science Advisory Board, which is made up largely of Trump administration appointees, said the revised definition rule “decreases protection for our Nation’s waters and does not support the objective of restoring and maintaining ‘the chemical, physical and biological integrity’ of these waters.” The letter is signed by the board’s chair, \u003ca href=\"https://www.houstonchronicle.com/business/article/Who-is-Michael-Honeycutt-Controversial-Texas-13054547.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Michael Honeycutt.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a speech on Sunday at the American Farm Bureau Federation’s annual gathering in Austin, Texas, President Trump hinted at the change, calling the 2015 Obama rule “one of the most ridiculous regulations of all.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That was a rule that basically took your property away from you,” he said. “As long as I’m president, government will never micromanage America’s farmers.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said the new regulations would “allow states to manage their water resources based on their own needs and what their farmers and ranchers want.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Trump first proposed the new rule in late 2018, Randy Noel, then chairman of the National Association of Home Builders, \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/12/11/675477583/trump-epa-proposes-big-changes-to-federal-water-protections\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">told NPR\u003c/a> that “I’m pretty excited about it because we hadn’t had any lots to build on.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Noel lives in south Louisiana, an area with a lot of wetlands. He said developers were running scared because it wasn’t ever clear which wetlands were federally regulated and which weren’t. “Hopefully, this redefinition will fix that,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Janette Brimmer, with the legal advocacy group Earthjustice, said in a statement that under the new rule, “few protections will remain to stop polluters from dumping toxic byproducts into our waters.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The revamped rule will not cover smaller ephemeral streams, those that flow only part of the year and dry up at other times. They make up a large part of the waters in \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/04/15/713616827/trump-administration-moves-forward-with-proposal-to-re-define-waterway-protectio\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">New Mexico\u003c/a>, says Rachel Conn with Amigos Bravos, a New Mexico-based conservation group that focuses on water issues. “But they all drain into our bigger systems,” she says. “And it is from these bigger systems that close to 300,000 New Mexicans receive their drinking water.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump \u003ca href=\"https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/presidential-executive-order-restoring-rule-law-federalism-economic-growth-reviewing-waters-united-states-rule/\">ordered a review\u003c/a> of the nation’s waterways barely a month after taking office. He said at the time that while clean water was “in the national interest,” it must be balanced against “promoting economic growth, minimizing regulatory uncertainty, and showing due regard for the roles of the Congress and the States under the Constitution.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since taking office, Trump has aggressively sought to roll back environmental regulations, particularly those seen as an obstacle to business. According to \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2019/climate/trump-environment-rollbacks.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">an analysis by The New York Times\u003c/a> that was updated a month ago, the administration has revised or eliminated more than 90 environmental rules in the past three years, although several were reinstated following legal challenges and several others are still in the courts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2020 NPR.

Those amendments called on the Senate to subpoena records and documents from various agencies, including the State Department, the White House Office of Management and Budget and the Defense Department. The Trump administration had refused to turn over most of the documents to House investigators.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McConnell, R-Ky., released his resolution outlining the next steps, including a week of hours-long opening arguments, on Monday. By Tuesday, ahead of the debate, Senate leaders \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/798007597\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">made additional changes\u003c/a> to the trial timeline.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The back-and-forth is a culmination of disagreement between Democrats and Republicans over what would constitute a fair trial. The Democratic-led House voted in December to impeach President Trump but held off on transmitting the two articles of impeachment in an attempt to get more details on the trial rules. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., ultimately moved the process forward without the assurances Democrats sought.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McConnell needed a simple majority — 51 votes — to approve his resolution laying out how much time House impeachment managers and the president's defense team will get to make their arguments.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., called the rules \"completely partisan.\" He said McConnell's resolution seems \"designed by President Trump for President Trump.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McConnell said he would move to table any Democratic amendments to the resolution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Later Tuesday afternoon and into the night, he did just that.

It’s the latest in a \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/politics/2018/03/becerra-v-trump-california-using-courts-fight-administration/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">record 65 lawsuits\u003c/a> that Becerra has brought against the Trump administration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new rule, scheduled to go into effect on April 1, requires that adults without children must work at least 20 hours per week to consistently receive food stamps. In California, that will initially affect about 400,000 Californians, or 11% of people currently getting food stamps, according to the state Department of Social Services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The social services agency and county welfare departments are scrambling to prepare people who might lose their monthly grocery money from the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, known as CalFresh here. Meanwhile, state lawmakers are floating possible work-arounds that could blunt the edge of the federal cuts.\u003cbr>\nHere’s what you need to know about the federal food stamp cuts, the lawsuit and how California is preparing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://e.infogram.com/3451afa1-8943-46f2-8ed7-eba91aab4cc3?src=embed\" title=\"calfresh_trump_cuts\" width=\"550\" height=\"968\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border:none;\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>What Exactly Does the Rule Do?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Under current federal law, able-bodied adults under the age of 50 with no dependent children must either be working at least 20 hours a week or in vocational training to get food stamps consistently. Otherwise, they can only receive three months of the benefit every three years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\" U.S. Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue \"]We need to encourage people by giving them a helping hand but not allowing it to become an indefinitely giving hand.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For a decade, states and counties have gotten that limit waived by demonstrating that the local labor market made it hard for people to find jobs. All but six California counties—Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, San Francisco, Santa Clara and San Mateo—have waivers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new federal rule makes that waiver much more elusive in most of the state. A city or county must have an unemployment rate of at least 6% to qualify. California closed 2019 with a \u003ca href=\"https://www.edd.ca.gov/newsroom/unemployment-december-2019.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">statewide unemployment rate\u003c/a> of just under 4%.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An estimated 40 California counties would be subject to the 20-hour work requirement starting April 1, while 18 central and northern counties would be spared initially due to their higher unemployment rates.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Why Did the Trump Administration Do it?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>When he announced the rule in December, U.S. Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue said it will restore the original intent of food stamps: “self-sufficiency.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We need to encourage people by giving them a helping hand but not allowing it to become an indefinitely giving hand,” Perdue said in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But anti-poverty advocates reject the claim that limiting food stamps will encourage people to work more, citing \u003ca href=\"https://drive.google.com/file/d/1fyVWIkJIl4Ub2R8k8wV-YbncNTJ9sDB-/view\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">evidence\u003c/a> that food stamp work requirements have failed in other places. The initial proposal spurred more \u003ca href=\"https://www.regulations.gov/docketBrowser?rpp=50&so=DESC&sb=postedDate&po=0&dct=PS&D=FNS-2018-0004\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">than 140,000 public comments\u003c/a>, with many calling the policy outdated and cruel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Trump administration says the rule would shave $5.5 billion off the federal budget over 5 years. Critics counter that each food stamp dollar translates to \u003ca href=\"https://www.ers.usda.gov/amber-waves/2019/july/quantifying-the-impact-of-snap-benefits-on-the-us-economy-and-jobs/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">$1.54 in economic activity\u003c/a>, according to U.S. Department of Agriculture calculations.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Why Do the States Say it’s Illegal?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The attorneys general say the rule violates the Administrative Procedure Act, a federal law that lays out steps, including notification of the public and comment periods, required to make new rules. The Trump administration did not adequately assess the impact of the rule, or how to mitigate its effects, the suit claims.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Plus, the states argue that the rule defies long-standing policy and the original intent of the work requirement law by eliminating the states’ ability to decide whether childless adults must work given local labor markets conditions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The Rule unequivocally runs afoul of Congress’s intent to ensure food security for low-income individuals and to permit States, who have a better understanding of their labor markets and economic conditions, to apply for waivers and use exemptions where local or individual circumstances warrant relief,” the lawsuit states.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Who Would be Most Affected?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>In the first year, more than 55,000 Californians are expected to lose the benefit, according to Becerra’s office, which amounts to more than $100 million in lost benefits. The lawsuit claims that women and people of color would be most affected because they face higher barriers to employment.\u003cbr>\n[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\" Angela Shing, Deputy Director of Santa Clara County Social Services Agency\"]‘I want people to make sure that if they’re in need that they’re coming to the agency and that we are here to serve. And I fear that many of these new rules and changes that are coming out are negatively impacting our ability to do that.’[/pullquote]\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"https://www.epi.org/data/#/?subject=underemp&r=*\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">National underemployment data\u003c/a> reveals who might be at risk. Black adults are nearly twice as likely as their white counterparts to be out of a job or working part-time even though they’d prefer a full-time schedule. Hispanics, people without a high school degree and adults under 24 also face high rates of underemployment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other groups at risk of losing their food stamps include people experiencing homelessness, veterans, people recently out of jail or prison and former foster youth, according to Jessica Bartholow, a policy advocate at the Western Center on Law and Poverty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For some, having to provide proof of working 20 hours per week may become a roadblock.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They will have to go through a lot of hurdles to verify eligibility,” Bartholow said. “A lot of people don’t work in places that regularly provide a printed time-sheet.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>What About Other Food Stamp Cuts?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>This is the first of three Trump proposals to cut food stamps. All are part of a broader set of policies aimed at reducing the country’s social safety net.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another food stamp proposal would restrict the ability of states to raise the eligibility limit on income and assets, as \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/poverty/2019/07/california-trump-food-stamp-cuts-poverty-income-inequality/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">California has done\u003c/a>. The other would set a national standard for deducting utility costs from a household budget to determine food stamp eligibility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If all three rules go into effect, an estimated 3.7 million Americans, including about 625,700 Californians, would lose food stamps, according to an \u003ca href=\"https://www.urban.org/sites/default/files/publication/101368/estimated_effect_of_recent_proposed_changes_to_snap_regulations.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Urban Institute study\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>How is the State Getting Ready for the Rule?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>State and county officials are reaching out to all recipients subject to the new requirements, alerting them of the change and getting as many as possible into local employment and training programs. Through those programs, affected adults can keep their CalFresh benefits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Santa Clara County got a head start. Though it lost its waiver in late 2018, the Social Services Agency used banked exemptions to avoid having to cut anyone off food stamps. In the meantime, the agency has enrolled hundreds in employment programs. But the work ahead is still daunting: More than 600 residents could lose CalFresh this year if they don’t start working.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Deputy Director Angela Shing says she worries that the various federal proposals to cut food stamps are causing people to lose faith in her agency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I want people to make sure that if they’re in need that they’re coming to the agency and that we are here to serve,” said Shing. “And I fear that many of these new rules and changes that are coming out are negatively impacting our ability to do that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>What Else Could the State Do?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>State lawmakers and advisors to the governor are exploring ways that the state could provide a bandaid if the rule survives the courtroom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag=\"food-stamps\" label=\"related coverage\"]\u003cbr>\nFor the first few months, the state plans to shield people from the new requirements using a backlog of month-long exemptions to the work requirement that the state has been banking. Under the new rule, those exemptions will disappear in the fall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One solution is to use state funds to provide food stamps. That’s the idea behind a \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201920200AB1022\">bill\u003c/a> introduced last year by Assemblywoman Buffy Wicks, a Democrat from Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That could be pricey. The state estimates it could lose as much as $400 million in federal funding for CalFresh if all three of the proposed food stamp rules go into effect.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The state is not in a position to backfill directly the federal contributions by writing a $400 million check,” Governor Gavin Newsom said last week. But, he added, his administration is looking at ways “to significantly minimize” that cost. He said he had put $20 million for food banks in his proposed budget as a “placeholder.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>What’s Next?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>All eyes will be on the courts. What are the odds that the states’ lawsuit pauses the food stamp cuts? Hard to say, but it’s been done before.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In October, the Trump administration’s “public charge” rule was halted just days before it would have gone into effect, after California and other states sued on similar grounds. That rule, which is still winding its way through the courts, would make it harder for legal immigrants to get green cards if they use, or are deemed likely to use, public assistance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Jackie Botts is a reporter at CalMatters.

The other would set a national standard for deducting utility costs from a household budget to determine food stamp eligibility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If all three rules go into effect, an estimated 3.7 million Americans, including about 625,700 Californians, would lose food stamps, according to an \u003ca href=\"https://www.urban.org/sites/default/files/publication/101368/estimated_effect_of_recent_proposed_changes_to_snap_regulations.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Urban Institute study\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>How is the State Getting Ready for the Rule?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>State and county officials are reaching out to all recipients subject to the new requirements, alerting them of the change and getting as many as possible into local employment and training programs. Through those programs, affected adults can keep their CalFresh benefits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Santa Clara County got a head start. Though it lost its waiver in late 2018, the Social Services Agency used banked exemptions to avoid having to cut anyone off food stamps. In the meantime, the agency has enrolled hundreds in employment programs. But the work ahead is still daunting: More than 600 residents could lose CalFresh this year if they don’t start working.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Deputy Director Angela Shing says she worries that the various federal proposals to cut food stamps are causing people to lose faith in her agency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I want people to make sure that if they’re in need that they’re coming to the agency and that we are here to serve,” said Shing. “And I fear that many of these new rules and changes that are coming out are negatively impacting our ability to do that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>What Else Could the State Do?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>State lawmakers and advisors to the governor are exploring ways that the state could provide a bandaid if the rule survives the courtroom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The state estimates it could lose as much as $400 million in federal funding for CalFresh if all three of the proposed food stamp rules go into effect.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The state is not in a position to backfill directly the federal contributions by writing a $400 million check,” Governor Gavin Newsom said last week. But, he added, his administration is looking at ways “to significantly minimize” that cost.

That rule, which is still winding its way through the courts, would make it harder for legal immigrants to get green cards if they use, or are deemed likely to use, public assistance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Jackie Botts is a reporter at CalMatters.

Only three other countries charge asylum-seekers a fee to consider their applications: Iran, Fiji and Australia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"related coverage\" tag=\"asylum\"]The cumulative impact of these initiatives is to prevent people of color from gaining legal protections in the U.S. — particularly Central Americans and Mexicans, who constitute most of the people apprehended at the southern border, said Michael Smith, Refugee Rights Program Director at East Bay Sanctuary Covenant in Berkeley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said the latest proposal restricting work permits would be “very punitive” to clients at his organization, which represents about 300 asylum cases each year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The impact would be they’ll have a harder time surviving, buying groceries, paying rent,” Smith said. “It’ll make life more difficult for them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The public comment period on the proposal ended Jan. 13.

But in the new proposal, the White House said it determined it was “not appropriate” to address a single category of impacts in regulations.

It also specifies that environmental reviews are not required under NEPA for non-discretionary decisions or for those with minimal federal funding or involvement—giving many developers an opportunity to elude the environmental review process altogether. The proposal sets a time limit of two years for detailed environmental reviews.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vickie Patton, general counsel of the Environmental Defense Fund, said the proposal would “punch loopholes into long-standing protections under the National Environmental Policy Act and would put communities at risk and worsen climate change.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gene Karpinski, president of the League of Conservation Voters, called it “one of the most egregious actions the Trump administration has taken to limit the federal government’s response to climate change yet.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Trump’s Red Tape Claims vs. White House Data\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The proposal, in essence, would fulfill \u003ca href=\"https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-environment-nepa/industry-groups-urge-white-house-to-finish-overhauling-u-s-environmental-review-process-idUSKBN1XW1AU\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a wish list delivered to the White House\u003c/a> last fall by 33 industry groups, led by the American Petroleum Institute (API) and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, who complained of “unreasonable costs and long project delays” caused by NEPA.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>API President and CEO Mike Sommers praised the proposal in a prepared statement: “Reforming the NEPA process is a critical step toward meeting growing demand for cleaner energy and unlocking job-creating infrastructure projects currently stuck in a maze of red tape.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump’s description of the NEPA process—”It takes 20 years, 30 years, it takes numbers nobody would even believe”—is at odds with reality for the vast majority of projects. The White House Council on Environmental Quality’s own statistics show that 95 percent of the more than 50,000 actions subject to NEPA each year are already exempt from detailed environmental review.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Environmental groups argue that the subset of actions that require a detailed review—like the Keystone XL Pipeline—warrant the scrutiny, pointing to the spill of thousands of gallons of oil from the Keystone system in North Dakota this past October.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Responsibilities as ‘Trustee of the Environment’ \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>NEPA, among the first environmental laws passed by Congress and signed by President Richard Nixon, requires comprehensive studies into the potential environmental impacts of “major” federal actions or projects—with an analysis of alternatives. The sweeping language of the statute asserts the federal government’s duty to “use all practical means. … To fulfill the responsibilities of each generation as trustee of the environment for succeeding generations.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As a global multigenerational problem that affects all of humanity and natural resources, climate change would seem to fit precisely within what the statute has in mind,” said Michael Gerrard, founder and director of the Sabin Center for Climate Change Law at Columbia University.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gerrard, who spent many years as a litigator, said that if he were representing a project applicant he would want consideration of climate change included in the environmental impact analysis even if Trump succeeds in his NEPA overhaul.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s a good chance the courts will … say it needs to be considered and an [environmental impact statement] could well be struck down for failure to consider it regardless of what this guidance says,” Gerrard said. “Rational planning involves looking at foreseeable conditions, and arguably it’s malpractice for an architect or engineer to ignore foreseeable considerations when designing a project.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The overhaul of NEPA guidance is just the latest of \u003ca href=\"https://insideclimatenews.org/news/19122019/trump-climate-policy-record-rollback-fossil-energy-history-candidate-profile\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">dozens of actions by the Trump administration\u003c/a> to throw open the doors to unfettered fossil energy development and abandon even recognition of the threat of climate change. Just this week, the Trump administration released the federal government’s latest annual \u003ca href=\"https://www.fema.gov/national-preparedness-report\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">National Preparedness Report\u003c/a>, which for the first time in the eight-year history of the accounting of threats and hazards failed to mention climate change, drought or sea-level rise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There will be a 60-day public comment period on the NEPA proposal, with public hearings scheduled in Denver and in Washington, D.C., in February.\u003c/p>\n\n",

The proposal sets a time limit of two years for detailed environmental reviews.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vickie Patton, general counsel of the Environmental Defense Fund, said the proposal would “punch loopholes into long-standing protections under the National Environmental Policy Act and would put communities at risk and worsen climate change.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gene Karpinski, president of the League of Conservation Voters, called it “one of the most egregious actions the Trump administration has taken to limit the federal government’s response to climate change yet.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Trump’s Red Tape Claims vs. White House Data\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The proposal, in essence, would fulfill \u003ca href=\"https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-environment-nepa/industry-groups-urge-white-house-to-finish-overhauling-u-s-environmental-review-process-idUSKBN1XW1AU\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a wish list delivered to the White House\u003c/a> last fall by 33 industry groups, led by the American Petroleum Institute (API) and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, who complained of “unreasonable costs and long project delays” caused by NEPA.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>API President and CEO Mike Sommers praised the proposal in a prepared statement: “Reforming the NEPA process is a critical step toward meeting growing demand for cleaner energy and unlocking job-creating infrastructure projects currently stuck in a maze of red tape.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump’s description of the NEPA process—”It takes 20 years, 30 years, it takes numbers nobody would even believe”—is at odds with reality for the vast majority of projects. The White House Council on Environmental Quality’s own statistics show that 95 percent of the more than 50,000 actions subject to NEPA each year are already exempt from detailed environmental review.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Environmental groups argue that the subset of actions that require a detailed review—like the Keystone XL Pipeline—warrant the scrutiny, pointing to the spill of thousands of gallons of oil from the Keystone system in North Dakota this past October.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Responsibilities as ‘Trustee of the Environment’ \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>NEPA, among the first environmental laws passed by Congress and signed by President Richard Nixon, requires comprehensive studies into the potential environmental impacts of “major” federal actions or projects—with an analysis of alternatives. The sweeping language of the statute asserts the federal government’s duty to “use all practical means. … To fulfill the responsibilities of each generation as trustee of the environment for succeeding generations.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As a global multigenerational problem that affects all of humanity and natural resources, climate change would seem to fit precisely within what the statute has in mind,” said Michael Gerrard, founder and director of the Sabin Center for Climate Change Law at Columbia University.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gerrard, who spent many years as a litigator, said that if he were representing a project applicant he would want consideration of climate change included in the environmental impact analysis even if Trump succeeds in his NEPA overhaul.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s a good chance the courts will … say it needs to be considered and an [environmental impact statement] could well be struck down for failure to consider it regardless of what this guidance says,” Gerrard said. “Rational planning involves looking at foreseeable conditions, and arguably it’s malpractice for an architect or engineer to ignore foreseeable considerations when designing a project.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The overhaul of NEPA guidance is just the latest of \u003ca href=\"https://insideclimatenews.org/news/19122019/trump-climate-policy-record-rollback-fossil-energy-history-candidate-profile\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">dozens of actions by the Trump administration\u003c/a> to throw open the doors to unfettered fossil energy development and abandon even recognition of the threat of climate change. Just this week, the Trump administration released the federal government’s latest annual \u003ca href=\"https://www.fema.gov/national-preparedness-report\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">National Preparedness Report\u003c/a>, which for the first time in the eight-year history of the accounting of threats and hazards failed to mention climate change, drought or sea-level rise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
