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>California Gov. Gavin Newsom will kick off his second and final term on Friday by contrasting his leadership of the nation’s largest Democratic stronghold with that of Republican leaders he’s branded as threats to freedom and democracy — including former President Donald Trump.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom began the ceremonies by leading a march of several hundred people through downtown Sacramento to the state Capitol. He led the crowd with his wife and four children holding hands as a marching band played near the back of the crowd. The sun was finally out after days of relentless winds and rain pounding much of the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The date — January 6 — was chosen intentionally to mark the second anniversary of the \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/jan-6-committee-final-report-trump-bcfea6162fe9cfa0d120e86d069af0e4\">violent attack by Trump supporters on the U.S. Capitol\u003c/a> in an attempt to halt Congress from certifying Democrat Joe Biden as president.[pullquote align=\"right\" size=\"medium\" citation=\"Kim Nalder, professor of political science, California State University, Sacramento\"]‘His narrative that he’s trying to create is: Look how much better things could be if Democrats ran the political world.’[/pullquote]The event is meant to “stand in peaceful contrast to the violent insurrection and assault on our democracy which occurred two years ago,” Newsom’s campaign said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His second term officially began Monday. The planned outdoor ceremony Friday comes amid a series of \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/california-winter-storm-updates-383927771f2a2c75a683c8f520b776de\">massive storms\u003c/a> that brought heavy rain, snow and intense winds across the state. The deluge prompted Newsom to declare a state of emergency and offered a reminder of the bread-and-butter work of governing the nation’s most populous state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Newsom seeks to put California at the center of the national political conversation, he’ll also be challenged to lay out a vision for his second term. He’ll face headwinds in the form of a budget deficit, an unmitigated homelessness crisis and drought that may persist despite the storms. And he’ll go to \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/business-california-legislature-sacramento-gavin-newsom-f67b8f4a8e0d7a978d4bf34ada1ea256\">battle with the oil industry\u003c/a> as he pushes lawmakers to impose fines on company profits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom began his first term in 2019 with \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/north-america-donald-trump-us-news-ap-top-news-gavin-newsom-801183607f36492c807cc62dd9210a0c\">Trump as a clear foil\u003c/a> in Washington. With Biden now in the White House, Newsom has \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/california-florida-donald-trump-ron-desantis-gavin-newsom-893f7924da60ee2adf7eee9e7bb133ae\">pivoted his fire toward fellow governors Ron DeSantis of Florida and Greg Abbott of Texas\u003c/a>, both Republicans. He’s chided fellow Democrats for not being aggressive enough in standing up to Republicans and has taken the fight to GOP states himself — even launching ads in other states that trash GOP policies and promote California as a safe place for people to seek abortion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both Newsom and DeSantis are widely seen as future presidential contenders, though perhaps not against each other.

"content": "\u003cp>The U.S. House committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, assault on the Capitol held a surprise hearing Tuesday featuring testimony from former White House staffer Cassidy Hutchinson, who detailed damning revelations about former President Donald Trump’s actions on the day of the attack.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hutchinson, who served as an aide to former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, described an angry, defiant president who rebuffed warnings from his own security detail and tried to let armed protesters avoid security screenings during a rally that morning protesting the outcome of the 2020 presidential election. And when the events that day spiraled toward violence, with the crowd chanting “Hang Mike Pence,” Trump declined to intervene, Hutchinson testified.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump “doesn’t think they’re doing anything wrong,” Hutchinson recalled Meadows saying at the time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hutchinson’s explosive, moment-by-moment account of what was happening inside and outside the White House offered a vivid description of a Republican president so unwilling to concede his 2020 election defeat to Democrat Joe Biden that he lashed out in rage and refused to stop the siege at the Capitol. It painted a damning portrait of the chaos at the White House as those around the defeated president splintered into factions, one supporting his false claims of voter fraud and another trying unsuccessfully to prevent the violent attack.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At one point on Jan. 6, Hutchinson recalled, former White House counsel Pat Cipollone barreled down the hallway and confronted Meadows about rioters breaching the Capitol. Meadows, staring at his phone, told the White House lawyer that Trump didn’t want to do anything, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier, Cipollone had worried out loud that “we’re going to get charged with every crime imaginable” if Trump was to go to the Capitol after his speech at the rally, Hutchinson said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"Related Stories\" tag=\"january-6\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hutchinson also said Trump directed his staff, in profane terms, to take away the metal-detecting magnetometers that he thought would slow down supporters who were gathering for his speech on the Ellipse, behind the White House. In a clip of an earlier interview with the committee, she recalled the president saying words to the effect of: “I don’t f-in’ care that they have weapons.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San José Rep. Zoe Lofgren, one of the committee members, spoke with KQED’s Natalia Navarro about her reaction to Hutchinson’s explosive testimony and what the public can expect in future hearings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This interview has been edited for length and clarity.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>NATALIA NAVARRO: Why did the committee call this hearing?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>REP. ZOE LOFGREN:\u003c/strong> Ms. Hutchinson had some new information that we felt needed to get out. Obviously, we know from other instances that there is a lot of pressure that is placed on people. And we wanted to make sure that the story that she had to tell was able to be released.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>When did you know that Hutchinson would testify?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We were not positive until really late last week. I think it’s been widely reported that she sat for four interviews. Her lawyer for the first three was paid for by the Trump PAC, and when she switched lawyers, I think the testimony became ever more expansive. And it was at that point that we were able to arrange a live testimony.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What was your overall reaction to what she had to say yesterday?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I admire her courage. She seemed very candid and courageous. Obviously, she was in a key position in the White House, steps away from the Oval Office. She’s a young person but had a very responsible job, and she was in a position to see and hear quite a bit, and she’s willing to talk about it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Obviously, not everything that she has told us has been reported out. There is more that will be included in upcoming hearings.

And when the events that day spiraled toward violence, with the crowd chanting “Hang Mike Pence,” Trump declined to intervene, Hutchinson testified.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump “doesn’t think they’re doing anything wrong,” Hutchinson recalled Meadows saying at the time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hutchinson’s explosive, moment-by-moment account of what was happening inside and outside the White House offered a vivid description of a Republican president so unwilling to concede his 2020 election defeat to Democrat Joe Biden that he lashed out in rage and refused to stop the siege at the Capitol. It painted a damning portrait of the chaos at the White House as those around the defeated president splintered into factions, one supporting his false claims of voter fraud and another trying unsuccessfully to prevent the violent attack.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At one point on Jan. 6, Hutchinson recalled, former White House counsel Pat Cipollone barreled down the hallway and confronted Meadows about rioters breaching the Capitol. Meadows, staring at his phone, told the White House lawyer that Trump didn’t want to do anything, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

I think it’s been widely reported that she sat for four interviews. Her lawyer for the first three was paid for by the Trump PAC, and when she switched lawyers, I think the testimony became ever more expansive. And it was at that point that we were able to arrange a live testimony.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What was your overall reaction to what she had to say yesterday?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I admire her courage. She seemed very candid and courageous. Obviously, she was in a key position in the White House, steps away from the Oval Office. She’s a young person but had a very responsible job, and she was in a position to see and hear quite a bit, and she’s willing to talk about it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Obviously, not everything that she has told us has been reported out. There is more that will be included in upcoming hearings. Honestly, her testimony about [how] the president was told that they had discovered that people in the crowd had weapons, including AR-15s and Glocks and assault weapons, that they didn’t want to go through the magnetometers because they didn’t want their weapons taken away, that she overheard directly that he was ordering people to take the “f-ing mags away.” He didn’t care that they were armed because he didn’t think they were going to hurt him, and the telling point was that those armed people could then walk to the Capitol from the Ellipse.

Jamie Raskin, D-Maryland, gives closing arguments on the fifth day of former President Donald Trump’s second impeachment trial at the U.S. Capitol on Feb. 13, 2021 in Washington, D.C. House impeachment managers had argued that Trump was “singularly responsible” for the Jan. 6 attack at the U.S. Capitol and he should be convicted and barred from ever holding public office again. \u003ccite>(congress.gov via Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>After the defense rested Friday, Herrera Beutler issued a statement detailing — again — that Trump had gotten into a shouting match with Republican House Leader Kevin McCarthy during the riot, telling him, “Well, Kevin, I guess these people are more upset about the election than you are.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Senate then voted to allow witnesses, and Trump’s lawyers threatened to call dozens. Both sides eventually agreed to enter Herrera Beutler’s statement into the record and move on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The heart of Trump’s legal team’s argument was supposed to be that the Senate did not have jurisdiction to take up the trial of a former federal official. That was certainly part of it and was a message that resonated with the overwhelming majority of GOP senators.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a vote on the first day of the trial, for example, 44 Republicans voted to say it was unconstitutional for the Senate to try a president after he left office. That’s despite a 145-year-old precedent in which the Senate voted that it was constitutional to try a former Cabinet official for impeachment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The constitutionality argument allowed many Republican senators to sidestep the merits of the case against Trump. That’s even though the lead impeachment manager, Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Maryland, on Thursday closed his side’s arguments by imploring senators that the constitutionality of the trial had been resolved by the earlier vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump’s lawyers, however, did not stick to a narrow constitutional argument. Instead, they accused Democrats of using the impeachment process for partisan gain and of trying to disenfranchise the people who voted for Trump’s reelection. The defense declined to provide evidence of what the president knew about the violence, when he knew it and what he did about it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Democratic House impeachment managers argued that the former president, who addressed a rally outside the White House ahead of the insurrection, was “singularly responsible” for the violence on Jan. 6.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They relied, in large measure, on video to prove their case, including never-before-seen Capitol security footage. The videos showed on the Senate floor during what was an — at times — emotional trial brought back the vivid images of the Capitol violence to the very place it happened.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/nprpolitics/status/1360703057768697858\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The video demonstrated how close rioters came to then-Vice President Mike Pence and members of Congress. And the impeachment managers argued that the video showed clearly that the mob of pro-Trump supporters was there for the president, and many believed they were there at the president’s behest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The impeachment managers, however, made a broader case than Trump’s comments on Jan. 6. They argued that Trump laid the groundwork for false grievance on the part of his supporters with two months of baseless claims of widespread election fraud that cost him the election and years, in fact, of tolerating, condoning and encouraging violence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump’s lawyers largely sidestepped Trump’s false claims of election fraud. Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vermont, asked during the question-and-answer session: “Are the prosecutors right when they claim that Trump was telling a big lie, or in your judgment did Trump actually win the election?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump lawyer Michael van der Veen shot back, “My judgment? Who asked that?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I did,” Sanders replied.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My judgment is irrelevant,” van der Veen said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You represent the president of the United States!” Sanders yelled back before Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vermont, the presiding officer, gaveled the chamber back to order.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump’s rhetoric about widespread fraud and a stolen election was false, dismissed by many courts stemming from dozens of lawsuits filed by the Trump campaign and allies across several key states.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/nprpolitics/status/1360681411276111876\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump’s legal team also argued that his Jan. 6 rally speech was protected by the First Amendment, a contention that impeachment managers labeled ludicrous. This, after all, was an impeachment trial, not a criminal proceeding. An impeachment trial is a political process intended to judge whether an official was upholding their oath of office and a standard of conduct.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With his second acquittal, Trump now plots his next steps in political and public life. Yet he is also contending with potential legal trouble stemming from a New York grand jury investigation and a newly announced criminal probe in Georgia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s in addition to Trump’s mounting debt and devalued assets. The former president’s net worth also dropped $1 billion in early 2020, according to Forbes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump has been able to spin difficulties in his business and personal life before, and the country waits to see if has a next, and perhaps final, act.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Jamie Raskin, D-Maryland, gives closing arguments on the fifth day of former President Donald Trump’s second impeachment trial at the U.S. Capitol on Feb. 13, 2021 in Washington, D.C. House impeachment managers had argued that Trump was “singularly responsible” for the Jan. 6 attack at the U.S. Capitol and he should be convicted and barred from ever holding public office again. \u003ccite>(congress.gov via Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>After the defense rested Friday, Herrera Beutler issued a statement detailing — again — that Trump had gotten into a shouting match with Republican House Leader Kevin McCarthy during the riot, telling him, “Well, Kevin, I guess these people are more upset about the election than you are.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Senate then voted to allow witnesses, and Trump’s lawyers threatened to call dozens. Both sides eventually agreed to enter Herrera Beutler’s statement into the record and move on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The heart of Trump’s legal team’s argument was supposed to be that the Senate did not have jurisdiction to take up the trial of a former federal official. That was certainly part of it and was a message that resonated with the overwhelming majority of GOP senators.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a vote on the first day of the trial, for example, 44 Republicans voted to say it was unconstitutional for the Senate to try a president after he left office. That’s despite a 145-year-old precedent in which the Senate voted that it was constitutional to try a former Cabinet official for impeachment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The constitutionality argument allowed many Republican senators to sidestep the merits of the case against Trump. That’s even though the lead impeachment manager, Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Maryland, on Thursday closed his side’s arguments by imploring senators that the constitutionality of the trial had been resolved by the earlier vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump’s lawyers, however, did not stick to a narrow constitutional argument. Instead, they accused Democrats of using the impeachment process for partisan gain and of trying to disenfranchise the people who voted for Trump’s reelection. The defense declined to provide evidence of what the president knew about the violence, when he knew it and what he did about it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Democratic House impeachment managers argued that the former president, who addressed a rally outside the White House ahead of the insurrection, was “singularly responsible” for the violence on Jan. 6.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They relied, in large measure, on video to prove their case, including never-before-seen Capitol security footage. The videos showed on the Senate floor during what was an — at times — emotional trial brought back the vivid images of the Capitol violence to the very place it happened.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

And the impeachment managers argued that the video showed clearly that the mob of pro-Trump supporters was there for the president, and many believed they were there at the president’s behest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The impeachment managers, however, made a broader case than Trump’s comments on Jan. 6. They argued that Trump laid the groundwork for false grievance on the part of his supporters with two months of baseless claims of widespread election fraud that cost him the election and years, in fact, of tolerating, condoning and encouraging violence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump’s lawyers largely sidestepped Trump’s false claims of election fraud.
