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.",

Mazie Hirono, D-Hawaii, complained that the Supreme Court had been unduly deferential to President Trump this summer when it upheld his travel ban, despite what she called the administration's \"obviously bogus\" justification. She pressed Kavanaugh on when the high court should question a president's national security claims.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"National security is not a blank check for the president,\" Kavanaugh said, pointing to a number of cases in which the court had overruled the administration. \"Even in the context of wartime, the courts are not silenced. Civil liberties are not silent.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kavanaugh told lawmakers he is so committed to judicial independence, he stopped voting in national elections after he became a judge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California Sen. Kamala Harris again asked Kavanaugh if he'd ever spoken with anyone at the law firm of Trump's personal attorney Marc Kasowitz about special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation, renewing \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/09/05/644948708/kavanaugh-hearings-day-2-more-protests-as-senators-press-on-precedent\">a line of questioning she'd opened Wednesday night.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The answer is no,\" Kavanaugh said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As he's done throughout the hearing, Kavanaugh declined to answer a series of questions from Harris about issues that might come before the high court, including abortion, same-sex marriage, and immigration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kavanaugh was asked repeatedly during the televised hearing about whether he would support opening the Supreme Court to TV cameras. He promised to keep an open mind, but said he would also want to consider the views of the eight current justices.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thursday's session began with Democrats on the committee in open revolt over the handling of documents from Kavanaugh's tenure in the George W. Bush White House.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some documents have been withheld altogether. Others have been provided to the committee on \"confidential\" terms, meaning senators can see them but they can't be made public.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats object that the confidential label has been applied to a wide swath of records, many of which contain no personal or sensitive information.

Cory and Senate Democrats were able to shame the committee into agreeing to make last night's documents publicly available, and Cory publicly released those documents as well as other committee confidential documents today. And he'll keep releasing them because Republicans are hiding Brett Kavanaugh's record from the American people.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The documents released by Booker include a batch of emails concerning racial profiling, affirmative action and other race-conscious government programs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a 2002 email, Kavanaugh wrote that security procedures adopted in the wake of the Sept. 11 attacks should ultimately be race-neutral, though he acknowledged that developing such procedures could take time. Others in the White House suggested racial profiling might be legally justified if it enhanced security.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a 2001 email, Kavanaugh addressed a legal challenge to an affirmative action program within the Department of Transportation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The fundamental problem in this case is that these DOT regulations use a lot of legalisms and disguises to mask what in reality is a naked racial set-aside,\" he wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kavanaugh had sidestepped questions from Booker on Wednesday night about the circumstances in which government can and cannot use race-conscious measures to address past discrimination.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He conceded that hopes he expressed nearly two decades ago for a color-blind society have not been fulfilled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We see on an all-too-common basis that racism still exists in the United States of America,\" Kavanaugh said. \"Our long march to racial equality is not over.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Separately, \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2018/09/06/us/politics/kavanaugh-leaked-documents.html?action=click&module=Top%20Stories&pgtype=Homepage\">The New York Times\u003c/a> reported on leaked emails from the \"confidential\" file.

Kamala Harris, D-Calif., Cory Booker, D-N.J., and Tim Scott, R-S.C., drafted the bipartisan legislation, which defines the crime as \"the willful act of murder by a collection of people assembled with the intention of committing an act of violence upon any person.\" It also classifies lynching as a hate crime that would warrant enhanced sentences. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Lynching is a dark, despicable part of our history, and we must acknowledge that, lest we repeat it,\" Harris said in the statement about the bill on Friday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"https://www.harris.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/ALB18773.pdf\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Justice for Victims of Lynching Act of 2018\u003c/a> notes that during the first half of the 20th century nearly 200 attempts to pass anti-lynching legislation failed to gain support from the Senate despite urging from seven sitting presidents. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It also cites statistics supported by research compiled by Tuskegee University, that more than \u003ca href=\"http://archive.tuskegee.edu/archive/bitstream/handle/123456789/511/Lyching%201882%201968.pdf?sequence=1&isAllowed=y\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">4,700 people were lynched between the years 1882 and 1968\u003c/a>. About three-quarters of the victims were African-American. And according to the bill, \"99 percent of all perpetrators of lynching escaped from punishment by state or local officials.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's a travesty that despite repeated attempts to do so, Congress still hasn't put anti-lynching legislation on the books,\" Booker said in a statement. \"This bill will right historical wrongs by acknowledging our country's stained past and codifying into law our commitment to abolishing this shameful practice.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Scott agreed the measure is \"certainly well past due\" adding that, \"this piece of legislation sends a message that together, as a nation, we condemn the actions of those that try to divide us with violence and hate.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bill needs the support of 60 senators in order to pass. So far, Patty Murray, D-Wash., Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., and Dick Durbin, D-Ill., are among more than a dozen senators who introduced the legislation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No Republicans have backed the bill. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Historically it was Southern Democrats who presented the strongest opposition to a law that would allow federal prosecution of lynchers if the states failed to take any action against them — which happened in nearly all cases. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Harvard Sitkoff, professor emeritus of history at the University of New Hampshire \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=4701576\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">told NPR\u003c/a> in 2005, Southern senators argued it was a state's rights constitutional matter, as murder, including lynching, was a state crime that should remain out of the domain of the federal justice system. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They successfully blocked bills through filibusters or the mere threat of filibuster \"particularly in the midst of the Great Depression...when it was important to pass other legislation,\" Sitkoff said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2005 the Senate took up a rare resolution expressing remorse for never approving a law against lynching. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The non-binding resolution was a belated effort to convey \"the deepest sympathies and most solemn regrets of the Senate to the descendants of victims of lynching, the ancestors of whom were deprived of life, human dignity and the constitutional protections accorded all citizens of the United States.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Copyright 2018 NPR.

Kamala Harris, D-Calif., Cory Booker, D-N.J., and Tim Scott, R-S.C., drafted the bipartisan legislation, which defines the crime as \"the willful act of murder by a collection of people assembled with the intention of committing an act of violence upon any person.\" It also classifies lynching as a hate crime that would warrant enhanced sentences. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Lynching is a dark, despicable part of our history, and we must acknowledge that, lest we repeat it,\" Harris said in the statement about the bill on Friday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"https://www.harris.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/ALB18773.pdf\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Justice for Victims of Lynching Act of 2018\u003c/a> notes that during the first half of the 20th century nearly 200 attempts to pass anti-lynching legislation failed to gain support from the Senate despite urging from seven sitting presidents. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It also cites statistics supported by research compiled by Tuskegee University, that more than \u003ca href=\"http://archive.tuskegee.edu/archive/bitstream/handle/123456789/511/Lyching%201882%201968.pdf?sequence=1&isAllowed=y\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">4,700 people were lynched between the years 1882 and 1968\u003c/a>. About three-quarters of the victims were African-American.

We urge you to bring before the full Senate legislation that would update and strengthen the procedures available to survivors of sexual harassment and discrimination in congressional workplaces.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Everyone deserves to work in an environment free from harassment and discrimination. In November, with your leadership, the Senate took an important first step in the effort to end harassment and discrimination in congressional workplaces with the passage of S. Res. 330, which requires anti-harassment and discrimination training for all Senators and staff at least once each Congress. While this training requirement was a significant step to address workplace harassment, there was broad, bipartisan agreement at that time that more had to be done to support survivors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although the Congressional Accountability Act (CAA) implemented meaningful reforms when it became law in 1995, it continues to require survivors to endure an antiquated dispute resolution process, including a month-long counseling session, forced mediation and a 30-day \"cooling off\" period before a victim can make a decision whether to pursue justice in a courtroom or continue with administrative procedures. The time has come to rewrite the CAA to provide a more equitable process that supports survivors of harassment and discrimination.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Senate's inaction stands in stark contrast to the bipartisan effort in the House of Representatives that led to the passage of bipartisan CAA reform legislation in February. The House bill includes a number of important provisions, such as eliminating waiting periods before a victim can take their case to court, increased transparency for awards and settlements, and a requirement that Members of the Senate and House pay for an award or settlement stemming from a case of sexual harassment or discrimination that they personally commit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the Senate considers CAA reform legislation, we will also have the ability to address an inequity that now exists between House and Senate staff. The House of Representatives passed H. Res. 724 that provides House staff who are survivors of harassment or discrimination access to free legal representation. Senate staff who face similar harassment or discrimination must pay personally for legal representation or represent themselves through complicated legal proceedings. Therefore, the Senate must act quickly to provide Senate staff with the same resources as their House colleagues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Inaction is unacceptable when a survey shows that four out of 10 women congressional staffers believe that sexual harassment is a problem on Capitol Hill and one out of six women in the same survey responded that they have been the survivors of sexual harassment. Survivors who have bravely come forward to share their stories have brought to light just how widespread harassment and discrimination continue to be throughout Capitol Hill. No longer can we allow the perpetrators of these crimes to hide behind a 23-year-old law. It's time to rewrite the Congressional Accountability Act and update the process through which survivors seek justice.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2018 NPR.
