"bio": "• I write and edit stories about how Silicon Valley power and policies shape everyday life in California. I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

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.",

Volker \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/10/04/767080125/texts-show-top-u-s-diplomat-in-ukraine-concerned-over-possible-quid-pro-quo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">appeared on Oct. 3\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Perry has been subpoenaed, but it isn’t clear whether he’ll appear.

The public could get a clearer picture if and when members of Congress release the full transcripts of the depositions they’ve been conducting with the witnesses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to an anonymous intelligence community whistleblower, whose \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/09/26/764071379/read-house-intel-releases-whistleblower-complaint-on-trump-ukraine-call\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">complaint\u003c/a> about the pressure scheme was what animated this saga, Ukraine’s president was primed before his\u003ca href=\"https://apps.npr.org/documents/document.html?id=6429015-Trump-Ukraine-Transcript\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> July 25 call\u003c/a> with Trump about the need to “play ball” with Trump’s requests for the investigations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Investigators want to know who primed him and how. This week brought more of that into focus. Giuliani, Volker and Sondland all are known to have been in touch with Zelenskiy or people in his camp.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But what Sondland told Congress was that he was kept in the dark about the full dimensions of Trump’s plans for Kyiv. Once he and the others learned military assistance to Ukraine had been frozen, Sondland said he opposed the picture he was piecing together.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Who Knew What When\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Sondland’s account is important for two reasons: First, he told members of Congress that the account he was given of Trump’s call with Zelenskiy did not mention the request for investigations about the Democrats’ server or Biden.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That suggests, if correct, that the White House was hiding those details even from members of its own administration handling Ukraine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Second, it’s important for Sondland’s sake because he’s the one who sent a text message — among \u003ca href=\"https://apps.npr.org/documents/document.html?id=6453863-Ukraine-Texts-100319\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">those released earlier\u003c/a> by Democrats — that declared to other diplomats dubious about the Ukraine pressure scheme that Trump had made clear it was not a quid pro quo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What Sondland\u003ca

on Thursday was that as he and others within the State Department realized that Trump expected concessions from Zelenskiy and then had frozen the military aid, Sondland phoned Trump to ask personally about what they were doing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In what Sondland described as a brief conversation with a grouchy Trump, the diplomat recalled the president repeating the words “no quid pro quo with Ukraine.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sondland \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/trumps-envoy-who-denied-quid-pro-quo-now-says-he-isnt-certain/2019/10/12/4abe0902-bc19-44e8-8c38-9aa35c544859_story.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reportedly was prepared\u003c/a> to tell House investigators that all he was doing in his subsequent text message was conveying to the others what Trump had said, not validating or endorsing that position.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The question about a “quid pro quo” is important in case there are legal issues for the diplomats involved, Giuliani or, theoretically, Trump — although one lesson from the Russia imbroglio was that Trump needn’t worry about\u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/05/29/727847695/special-counsel-mueller-to-deliver-statement-on-russia-investigation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> indictment by the Justice Department\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag='impeachment' label='RELATED STORIES']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s why some Democrats argue their only recourse now is the quasi-legal, mostly political — and historically rare — path toward impeachment.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>“Get Over It”\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>What also makes the Ukraine affair unusual in the pantheon of Washington scandals is how quickly the facts about it flashed into public view and how readily the White House has acknowledged so many of them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mulvaney, the acting chief of staff, told reporters on Thursday that, yes, Trump expected concessions from Zelenskiy in exchange for engagement with the United States — but that’s how this game is played, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And as for what Mulvaney called the complaints by the State Department and national security officials about Trump giving the Ukraine portfolio to Giuliani, he called it sour grapes by jealous bureaucrats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The administration works for the president, all foreign policy is political and everyone, Mulvaney said, needs to \u003ca

T-shirt\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mulvaney later sought to walk back some of what he said in his press conference — specifically that Trump’s request that Zelenskiy investigate the Democrats’ “server” was a “quid pro quo.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the words already were out in the open, and another point he made also endures: The Ukraine affair, for everything else it is, isn’t a cover-up.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>The Investigation Wears On\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Republicans have faulted the impeachment inquiry as illegitimate and White House counsel Pat Cipollone vowed that the administration \u003ca href=\"https://assets.documentcloud.org/documents/6459842/White-House-Letter-to-Speaker-Pelosi-Et-Al-10-08.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">wouldn’t participate\u003c/a> in it — but the stream of witnesses into the Capitol hasn’t slowed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although Cipollone’s objections may mean that members of Congress don’t hear from some of the boldfaced names they might request, including Pompeo, Bolton, Giuliani and Vice President Pence, investigators do have a full dance card.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Starting on Tuesday, House investigators are scheduled to hear from the current top U.S. diplomat in Ukraine, Bill Taylor, who took over the mission to Kyiv after Yovanovitch was withdrawn and whose texts were among those released earlier.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Wednesday, the House is scheduled to hear from another State Department official, Ambassador Philip Reeker, as well as Michael Duffey, associate director for national security programs within the Office of Management and Budget.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Thursday, investigators are set to take depositions from Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense Laura Cooper and Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman. And that’s not all, according to one official working on the impeachment inquiry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The committees are in ongoing discussions with other witnesses, and we look forward to their testimony,” the official said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">\u003cem>Copyright 2019 NPR.

The report notes the cause of the fire, which started at approximately 1:48 p.m. on Tuesday and was abated at about 9 p.m., is still unknown and under investigation. There were less than 3,000 barrels of denatured ethanol in each of the two tanks that caught fire, plus “an unknown quantity of other potential fuels (diesel and jet) released through broken lines,” according to the report.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The report also states that the terminal was evacuated within approximately two minutes, with the exception of the lone contractor, who was rescued within 20 minutes. There were no employee or contractor injuries and one firefighter sustained a minor burn injury.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think it’s important to understand what training workers, whether they be contractors or employees, went through,” said Contra Costa County Supervisor John Gioia, who said the contractor was unable to give emergency workers any information about the tanks’ contents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A petrochemical facility, he added, needs to have a system in place for people who understand the plant to meet with first responders on arrival during emergencies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s less important whether it’s a contractor or an employee and more about ensuring everybody there, however long they’ve worked there, is sufficiently trained to maximize safety and reduce harm at the facility,” said Gioia, who sits on the board of the Bay Area Air Quality Management District and the California Air Resources Board.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gioia said the front gate of the NuStar facility was locked when firefighters arrived and that its emergency fire suppression system was not activated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>NuStar has said there was “initial confusion” about which tanks were involved because the explosion and fire erupted so quickly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/VallejoFire/status/1184253063185358848?s=20\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Given the intensity of the fire during the first few minutes, they could not get close enough to verify which tanks were on fire,” Cho said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Company officials say the power at the terminal has been restored. But Cal/OSHA, earlier this week, ordered that operations at the facility be suspended.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“All movements of product into and out of the terminal are halted, as we assess the damage and develop a plan for repairs,” Cho said, adding that he didn’t know when operations would resume or how much the fire and suspension of operations would cost the company.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cal/OSHA inspectors issued an order to preserve evidence in the two tanks and the pipes involved in the blaze. They also issued an order to cease operations at the facility “until we can confirm that operations can resume safely,” said Erika Monterroza, another Cal/OSHA representative.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Cal/OSHA is working expeditiously to identify and correct hazards that may impact workers’ safety at the NuStar Energy facility or that of the surrounding community,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fire sent up a huge plume of smoke for hours, prompting a shelter-in-place order for nearby communities and the closure of a section of Interstate 80.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Contra Costa County health officials detected elevated levels of particulate matter at the time of the fire, according to Randy Sawyer, the county’s chief environmental health and hazardous materials officer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, that agency and the Air District have yet to release data on the air quality tests taken during the emergency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Seven patients who complained of respiratory distress went to the emergency room at Sutter Solano Medical Center in Vallejo, according to a hospital spokesperson.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The emergency rooms at Kaiser’s Richmond, Oakland and Vallejo hospitals did not see a significant increase in the number of patients as a result of the fire, said Kaiser representative Deniene Erickson.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fire is under investigation by the Contra Costa County Fire Department, the Air District and Cal/OSHA.

That was a theme in this case,” said John Hubanks, Monterey County deputy district attorney, in a courthouse interview after the verdict was read.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We felt pretty clearly that he was the employer. The law, under the facts in this case, was very clear,” Hubanks said, adding that Czirban owned the bulldozer that Reagan was driving when he died, he paid people to drive it and he signed a contract for his company to do business with Cal Fire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In court arguments, Hubanks argued that Czirban filed a false workers’ comp insurance certificate, leading Cal Fire officials to believe they were hiring a firm abiding by the rules.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hubanks said the fact that Czirban was convicted of not having workers comp means that he may have to pay restitution to Kemple and her two children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“To me that was the crux of the case,” Hubanks said. “I’m hoping the court will do the right thing and grant restitution.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The judge found Czirban not guilty of insurance fraud and filing a false workers’ compensation exemption.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Czirban is due to be sentenced Dec. 13. Along with restitution, he faces the possibility of time behind bars in the county jail and probation, according to Hubanks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Czirban’s attorney argued that Reagan was not a traditional employee, but instead a contractor and that Czirban did not file false information or mislead anyone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His attorney, Daniel Olmos, declined to comment after the hearing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
