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>\u003cstrong>Update, 12 p.m. Monday:\u003c/strong> David DePape’s one-time partner Oxane “Gypsy” Taub said a history of mental illness and drug use had caused DePape to deteriorate so profoundly that he believed “he was Jesus for a year,” and that at one point he started “living on the streets” and grew “paranoid that someone was watching him,” \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/Ex-girlfriend-of-suspect-in-Paul-Pelosi-attack-17545968.php\">The San Francisco Chronicle reported on Monday\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an hour-long phone interview given Sunday from the California Institution for Women in Corona, Riverside County, where she is incarcerated for attempting to abduct a 14-year-old boy in Berkeley with whom she had become obsessed, Taub said of DePape “he has never been able to hold a job. This person really does suffer from mental illness and that is probably why he was there at 2 a.m.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Addressing DePape’s political views, Taub said, “I don’t think he became a Trump supporter. He was against the government, but if anything he was opposed to the shadow government, against the people who really run the government and use politicians as puppets. Like Trump was a puppet. David and I were against the shadow government.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Taub said that after they broke up, DePape was living on the streets in the East Bay and eating meals at the McGee Avenue Baptist Church in Berkeley, where she said a friend who served DePape meals at the church told Taub he mumbled nonsensically and had “completely lost his mind.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins said in a news conference that DePape remained locked in a secure ward at San Francisco General Hospital on Sunday where he was receiving psychiatric treatment. Jenkins has said multiple felony charges would be brought against DePape.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Original post, 6:45 p.m. Friday:\u003c/strong> The man accused of breaking into House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s California home and severely beating her husband with a hammer appears to have made racist and often rambling posts online, including some that questioned the results of the 2020 election, defended former President Donald Trump and echoed QAnon conspiracy theories.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>David DePape, 42, grew up in Powell River, British Columbia, before leaving about 20 years ago to follow an older girlfriend to San Francisco. A street address listed for DePape in the Bay Area college town of Berkeley led to a post office box at a UPS Store.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>DePape was arrested at the Pelosi home early Friday. San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins said she expected to file multiple felony charges, including attempted murder, assault with a deadly weapon, burglary and elder abuse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stepfather Gene DePape said the suspect had lived with him in Canada until he was 14 and had been a quiet boy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“David was never violent that I seen and was never in any trouble although he was very reclusive and played too much video games,” Gene DePape said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said he hasn’t seen his stepson since 2003 and tried to get in touch with him several times over the years without success.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In 2007, I tried to get in touch but his girlfriend hung up on me when I asked to talk to him,“ Gene DePape said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>David DePape was known in Berkeley as a pro-nudity activist who had picketed naked at protests against local ordinances requiring people to be clothed in public.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"related coverage\" tag=\"nancy-pelosi\"]Gene DePape said the girlfriend whom his son followed to California was named Gypsy and they had two children together. DePape also has a child with a different woman, his stepfather said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Photographs published by The San Francisco Chronicle on Friday identified DePape frolicking nude outside City Hall with dozens of others at the 2013 wedding of pro-nudity activist Gypsy Taub, who was marrying another man. Taub did not respond Friday to calls or emails.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A 2013 article in the Chronicle described David DePape as a “hemp jewelry maker” who lived in a Victorian flat in Berkeley with Taub, who hosted a talk show on local public-access TV called “Uncensored 9/11,” in which she appeared naked and pushed conspiracy theories that the 2001 terrorist attacks were “an inside job.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A pair of web blogs posted in recent months online under the name David DePape contained rants about technology, aliens, communists, religious minorities, transgender people and global elites.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An August 24 entry titled “Q” displayed a scatological collection of memes that included photos of the deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and made reference to QAnon, the baseless pro-Trump conspiracy theory that espouses the belief that the country is run by a deep-state cabal of child sex traffickers, satanic pedophiles and baby-eating cannibals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Big Brother has deemed doing your own research as a thought crime,” read a post that appeared to blend references to QAnon with George Orwell’s dystopian novel “1984.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an August 25 entry titled “Gun Rights,” the poster wrote: “You no longer have rights. Your basic human rights hinder Big Brothers ability to enslave and control you in a complete and totalizing way.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The web-hosting service WordPress removed one of the sites Friday afternoon for \u003ca href=\"https://godisloving.wordpress.com/\">violating its terms of service\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On a different \u003ca href=\"https://www.frenlyfrens.com/\">site\u003c/a>, someone posting under DePape’s name repeated false claims about COVID vaccines and wearing masks, questioned whether climate change is real and displayed an illustration of a zombified Hillary Clinton dining on human flesh.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There appeared to be no direct posts about Pelosi, but there were entries defending former President Donald Trump and Ye, the rapper formally known as Kayne West, who recently made antisemitic comments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In other posts, the writer said Jews helped finance Hitler’s political rise in Germany and suggested an antisemitic plot was involved in Russia’s recent invasion of Ukraine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The more Ukrainians die NEEDLESSLY the cheaper the land will be for Jews to buy up,” the post said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a September 27 post, the writer said any journalists who denied Trump’s false claims of widespread voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election “should be dragged straight out into the street and shot.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

This person really does suffer from mental illness and that is probably why he was there at 2 a.m.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Addressing DePape’s political views, Taub said, “I don’t think he became a Trump supporter. He was against the government, but if anything he was opposed to the shadow government, against the people who really run the government and use politicians as puppets. Like Trump was a puppet. David and I were against the shadow government.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Taub said that after they broke up, DePape was living on the streets in the East Bay and eating meals at the McGee Avenue Baptist Church in Berkeley, where she said a friend who served DePape meals at the church told Taub he mumbled nonsensically and had “completely lost his mind.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins said in a news conference that DePape remained locked in a secure ward at San Francisco General Hospital on Sunday where he was receiving psychiatric treatment. Jenkins has said multiple felony charges would be brought against DePape.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Original post, 6:45 p.m. Friday:\u003c/strong> The man accused of breaking into House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s California home and severely beating her husband with a hammer appears to have made racist and often rambling posts online, including some that questioned the results of the 2020 election, defended former President Donald Trump and echoed QAnon conspiracy theories.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>David DePape, 42, grew up in Powell River, British Columbia, before leaving about 20 years ago to follow an older girlfriend to San Francisco. A street address listed for DePape in the Bay Area college town of Berkeley led to a post office box at a UPS Store.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>DePape was arrested at the Pelosi home early Friday. San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins said she expected to file multiple felony charges, including attempted murder, assault with a deadly weapon, burglary and elder abuse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stepfather Gene DePape said the suspect had lived with him in Canada until he was 14 and had been a quiet boy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“David was never violent that I seen and was never in any trouble although he was very reclusive and played too much video games,” Gene DePape said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said he hasn’t seen his stepson since 2003 and tried to get in touch with him several times over the years without success.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In 2007, I tried to get in touch but his girlfriend hung up on me when I asked to talk to him,“ Gene DePape said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>David DePape was known in Berkeley as a pro-nudity activist who had picketed naked at protests against local ordinances requiring people to be clothed in public.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Taub did not respond Friday to calls or emails.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A 2013 article in the Chronicle described David DePape as a “hemp jewelry maker” who lived in a Victorian flat in Berkeley with Taub, who hosted a talk show on local public-access TV called “Uncensored 9/11,” in which she appeared naked and pushed conspiracy theories that the 2001 terrorist attacks were “an inside job.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A pair of web blogs posted in recent months online under the name David DePape contained rants about technology, aliens, communists, religious minorities, transgender people and global elites.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An August 24 entry titled “Q” displayed a scatological collection of memes that included photos of the deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and made reference to QAnon, the baseless pro-Trump conspiracy theory that espouses the belief that the country is run by a deep-state cabal of child sex traffickers, satanic pedophiles and baby-eating cannibals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Big Brother has deemed doing your own research as a thought crime,” read a post that appeared to blend references to QAnon with George Orwell’s dystopian novel “1984.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an August 25 entry titled “Gun Rights,” the poster wrote: “You no longer have rights.

China sent two Su-35 fighter jets across the Taiwan strait ahead of Pelosi's arrival, according to state broadcaster CCTV, and the spokeswoman for China's foreign ministry said on Twitter, \"The US & Taiwan have made provocations together first, whereas China has been compelled to act in self-defense.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The visit was not announced in advance, and it comes as part of Pelosi's \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2022/08/01/1114818421/pelosi-begins-asia-tour-in-singapore-with-no-official-word-if-shell-visit-taiwan\">tour of Asia\u003c/a>, including Singapore, Malaysia, Japan and South Korea, where she has been leading a small congressional delegation. She is the highest-ranking elected American official to visit Taiwan since then-Speaker Newt Gingrich in 1997. The source familiar with planning for Pelosi's visit says she will be given an award by Taiwan's president and visit a museum before departing on Wednesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The island democracy governs itself, but China claims it as its territory. Rumors of Pelosi's visit launched a geopolitical firestorm amid escalating tensions between the U.S. and China.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Taiwanese government has operated separately from the mainland since nationalists fled there after losing the civil war to communists in 1949. Thirty years later, the U.S. switched diplomatic recognition from Taipei to Beijing, adopting what's known as the \"One China\" policy, in which Washington acknowledges Beijing's position that Taiwan is a part of China. However, the U.S. has never supported China's claim of sovereignty over Taiwan and maintains a substantial, though unofficial, relationship with the island.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"More Pelosi coverage\" tag=\"nancy-pelosi\"]Pelosi penned \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/08/02/nancy-pelosi-taiwan-visit-op-ed/\">an opinion piece published by the \u003cem>Washington Post \u003c/em>\u003c/a>upon her arrival citing the Taiwan Relations Act as establishing a commitment to Taiwan's democracy and defense, adding, \"We must stand by Taiwan, which is an island of resilience.\" She said Taiwan is under threat by the government in Beijing economically, in cyberspace, and potentially by military force.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In the face of the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) accelerating aggression, our congressional delegation's visit should be seen as an unequivocal statement that America stands with Taiwan, our democratic partner, as it defends itself and its freedom,\" Pelosi wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In response to Pelosi's visit, the Chinese Foreign Ministry released a statement that said, in part, it was a \"serious violation of the one-China principle.\" The ministry added, \"It gravely undermines peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait, and sends a seriously wrong signal to the separatist forces for 'Taiwan independence.'\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By law, the U.S. is obligated to provide Taiwan with weapons and services. But the U.S. policy of \"strategic ambiguity\" keeps open the question of whether it would intervene in the case of a military invasion by China.

China sent two Su-35 fighter jets across the Taiwan strait ahead of Pelosi's arrival, according to state broadcaster CCTV, and the spokeswoman for China's foreign ministry said on Twitter, \"The US & Taiwan have made provocations together first, whereas China has been compelled to act in self-defense.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The visit was not announced in advance, and it comes as part of Pelosi's \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2022/08/01/1114818421/pelosi-begins-asia-tour-in-singapore-with-no-official-word-if-shell-visit-taiwan\">tour of Asia\u003c/a>, including Singapore, Malaysia, Japan and South Korea, where she has been leading a small congressional delegation. She is the highest-ranking elected American official to visit Taiwan since then-Speaker Newt Gingrich in 1997. The source familiar with planning for Pelosi's visit says she will be given an award by Taiwan's president and visit a museum before departing on Wednesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The island democracy governs itself, but China claims it as its territory. Rumors of Pelosi's visit launched a geopolitical firestorm amid escalating tensions between the U.S. and China.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Taiwanese government has operated separately from the mainland since nationalists fled there after losing the civil war to communists in 1949. Thirty years later, the U.S. switched diplomatic recognition from Taipei to Beijing, adopting what's known as the \"One China\" policy, in which Washington acknowledges Beijing's position that Taiwan is a part of China. However, the U.S. has never supported China's claim of sovereignty over Taiwan and maintains a substantial, though unofficial, relationship with the island.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Many of the teachers we talked to say their workload — which wasn’t light even before the pandemic — has become gargantuan. Even as schools are already struggling with major staffing shortages, study after study finds that teachers are contemplating quitting in record numbers. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Guest:\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Beatrice Viramontes, Teach for America Bay Area executive director\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>This Week in California News and Politics\u003cbr>\n\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">This week, the city of San Jose made bold moves to increase gun control, hundreds of acres of land were returned to Native Americans, and U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced she’ll seek another term in office.

A decade ago, she led House Democrats to passage of the Affordable Care Act, a year-long effort that consumed the Congress at the start of Barack Obama’s first term and contributed to the party’s electoral wipeout in the 2010 midterm election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pelosi lost the speaker’s gavel after Republicans regained control of the House in 2011, and today’s Republicans are expecting a repeat in 2022 as they heap criticisms on Biden’s bill as big government overreach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy, who is in line to become speaker if Democrats lose power next year, set the tone in an overnight speech full of vitriol and grievance against Biden, the Democrats and Pelosi in particular, as he chided her leadership and wished for her retirement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If he sounded “angry,” McCarthy said, it’s because he was. His more than eight-hour speech set a new record, besting one set just a few years back by Pelosi. But his protest did not stop the vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pelosi responded with one of the most politically biting strategies in her arsenal — she ignored him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Early Friday morning, Pelosi paid almost no attention to McCarthy’s record-setting rant and delivered a sunny speech in stark contrast to his dark mood.\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>At a taping of KQED's \"Political Breakdown\" Wednesday night, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi outlined the tough choices facing her Democratic caucus over what to keep in their landmark social policy and climate bill — deeming it a “lamb-eat-lamb” moment and indicating that a popular proposal to allow Medicare to negotiate prescription drug pricing may have to be left out of the final version.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Everything is good. What do we keep?” said Pelosi, appearing in front of a live audience in San Francisco as part of the KQED Live event series. \"Is it a timing thing? Or is it a prioritizing? That's the negotiation.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pelosi made her appearance at KQED as Democrats struggle to pare down a bill that aims, in part, to reduce carbon emissions, expand Medicare and Medicaid coverage, make child care free to millions and create universal pre-K. Democrats hope to pay for the programs through tax increases on corporations and high-earning people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://youtu.be/Ag8XCVjDs_I\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bill, originally priced at $3.5 trillion, will likely shrink to roughly $2 trillion in order to meet the demands of centrist Democratic Sens. Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona. Those two votes are crucial, with all Republicans in an evenly divided Senate opposing the legislation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ll have to come down [on our goals] because the money is coming down,” Pelosi told hosts Marisa Lagos and Scott Shafer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"related coverage\" tag=\"nancy-pelosi\"]With just over two weeks until a self-imposed Oct. 31 deadline to pass the bill, as well as a companion $1 trillion infrastructure bill, Pelosi and the Democratic caucus are at a legislative crossroads.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Should they keep the wish list of President Biden, but phase out the initiatives over a shorter period of time — allowing Democrats to run on the promise of extending programs currently popular with the public?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Or should the party limit the breadth of the legislation to fewer ideas that can be fully funded for at least a decade — making it so any future Republican government would have to proactively cut the programs, rather than quietly letting them sunset?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pelosi seemed more inclined toward the latter — to fully fund key priorities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You can shorten the time frame, but if you shorten it too much you lose the continuity and the impact,” she said. \"So it's not like something you put in a computer and something comes out. It's judgments that have to be made.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pelosi's preferred vision of allowing Medicare to negotiate prescription drug prices is one idea that could be scaled back, she said.

What do we keep?” said Pelosi, appearing in front of a live audience in San Francisco as part of the KQED Live event series. \"Is it a timing thing? Or is it a prioritizing? That's the negotiation.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pelosi made her appearance at KQED as Democrats struggle to pare down a bill that aims, in part, to reduce carbon emissions, expand Medicare and Medicaid coverage, make child care free to millions and create universal pre-K. Democrats hope to pay for the programs through tax increases on corporations and high-earning people.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/Ag8XCVjDs_I'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/Ag8XCVjDs_I'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>The bill, originally priced at $3.5 trillion, will likely shrink to roughly $2 trillion in order to meet the demands of centrist Democratic Sens.
