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.",

But she said she wouldn’t approve it next year unless the club becomes more inclusive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is a private benefit not a public benefit,” Hopkins said. “We are essentially providing security detail services to a privileged and wealthy club that discriminates against women.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Bohemian Club didn’t respond to a request for comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Just because we provide a law enforcement service for them is not an endorsement of what they do,” Sonoma County Sheriff Mark Essick said. “To put this on hold at the last second is really going to hamper my ability to deliver services.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The contract for about $151,000 includes having the sheriff staff the entrance with two to six deputies to deal with protesters or trespassers and respond if needed to emergencies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Protesters have gathered outside Bohemian Grove for years to rail against what they see as world-controlling elites and conspiracy theories.

Meanwhile, Mexican officials are trying to avert the tariffs by agreeing to increased immigration enforcement and changing asylum rules to make it easier for the Trump administration to deport migrants from Central America. Also, House Democrats passed a bill on Tuesday that would protect more than 2 million undocumented migrants in the U.S. from deportation, including hundreds of thousands of “Dreamers,” who were brought to the U.S. illegally as children.

John Delaney (Maryland)\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">If there’s one of the 14 Democratic presidential candidates who spoke this weekend that few could tell you anything about, it’s Maryland Congressman John Delaney. But that changed today — and not in a good way — at least for the few hundred delegates who stuck around long to hear the final candidate speak. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Delaney got booed — louder and longer than former Gov. John Hickenlooper yesterday after Delaney attacked the idea of single payer health care, which is a touchstone for many in the California Democratic Party.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Delaney said the so-called \u003cem>Medicare for All\u003c/em> “would kick millions of Americans off their existing health insurance,” cementing his status as the least-loved candidate this weekend.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The booing prompted the party’s acting chair Alexandra Gallardo-Rooker to say “ can we now continue the speeches with dignity and respect for he rest of our speakers?”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Former Mayor Julian Castro (Texas)\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The former mayor of San Antonio, Texas was introduced by his congressman brother Joaquin.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“A lot of times I need a name tag,” Julian Castro joked about frequent confusion with his brother. “He says I’m a minute uglier than he is, which is not true.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Castro had the unfortunate chore of speaking right after Bernie Sanders, whose supporters mostly left the hall after his speech. Given that California has a large and growing Latino population, it’s a little surprising that Castro, who attended Stanford as an undergrad and has ties to the Bay Area, doesn’t have more of an organized presence here in California. But he doesn’t.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Castro used his time to tell his increasingly well known family story. “My mom was a hell raiser in the early Chicana movement,” Castro said. He invoked the memory of his grandmother, who had a foot amputated because of diabetes before pledging to “strengthen Medicare and make sure it’s available to every single person in this country.” But he was vague about what exactly that meant or how he would do it.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The crowd, by now scant, seemed most aroused by Castro’s description of inequality in the criminal justice system. After noting approvingly that white supremacist Dylann Roof was convicted of killing nine African Americans in a Charleston, South Carolina church in 2015, Castro said “what about Eric Garner … and across the Bay Stephon Clark? They need justice too,” he said referring to unarmed people of color who died at the hands of police.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Castro, in a reference to President Trump’s immigration policies, said what he looked forward to most if he is elected is the traditional “changing of the guard” walk from the White House to the inauguration at the U.S. Capitol with the outgoing and incoming presidents and their spouses. “What I’ll say is, adios.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sen.

Sanders was slated to talk on Sunday — usually most of the out-of-town delegates have headed for the airport by then. There was some thought that perhaps it was intended to help keep the most liberal activists around long enough to vote for Kimberly Ellis in a much-expected Sunday runoff for party chair. But with Rusty Hicks sewing it up in the first round last night, Sanders ended up playing to a much smaller crowd than Saturday’s speakers.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">But Sanders wasted no time doing what others have done this weekend — obliquely criticizing Joe Biden without mentioning his name.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“In my view we will not defeat Donald Trump unless we bring excitement and energy into the campaign. We have to give millions of working people and young people a reason to vote and a reason to believe that politics is relevant to their lives,” Sanders said.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sanders, thanked those who supported his 2016 campaign for president saying “today we take that revolution forward.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Adding to the weekend’s pile of insults and criticisms of President Trump, Sanders called him “the worst president in the history of this country — a president who is racist, sexist, homophobic and a religious bigot.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Citing a litany of issues including health care, gun control, making corporations pay their fair of taxes “including Amazon” and abortion, Sanders said repeatedly “there is no middle ground.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sanders certainly still has his army of supporters in California, but as the convention winds down there is a sense that as Sen. Elizabeth Warren rises, Sanders will fall, losing support to the candidate President Trump derides as “Pocahontas.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Many delegates and other party insiders say Warren’s \u003cem>tour de force\u003c/em> performance Saturday put her on the radar for many people who were supporting Kamala Harris or Sen.

John Delaney (Maryland)\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">If there’s one of the 14 Democratic presidential candidates who spoke this weekend that few could tell you anything about, it’s Maryland Congressman John Delaney. But that changed today — and not in a good way — at least for the few hundred delegates who stuck around long to hear the final candidate speak. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Delaney got booed — louder and longer than former Gov. John Hickenlooper yesterday after Delaney attacked the idea of single payer health care, which is a touchstone for many in the California Democratic Party.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Delaney said the so-called \u003cem>Medicare for All\u003c/em> “would kick millions of Americans off their existing health insurance,” cementing his status as the least-loved candidate this weekend.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The booing prompted the party’s acting chair Alexandra Gallardo-Rooker to say “ can we now continue the speeches with dignity and respect for he rest of our speakers?”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Former Mayor Julian Castro (Texas)\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The former mayor of San Antonio, Texas was introduced by his congressman brother Joaquin.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“A lot of times I need a name tag,” Julian Castro joked about frequent confusion with his brother. “He says I’m a minute uglier than he is, which is not true.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Castro had the unfortunate chore of speaking right after Bernie Sanders, whose supporters mostly left the hall after his speech. Given that California has a large and growing Latino population, it’s a little surprising that Castro, who attended Stanford as an undergrad and has ties to the Bay Area, doesn’t have more of an organized presence here in California. But he doesn’t.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Castro used his time to tell his increasingly well known family story. “My mom was a hell raiser in the early Chicana movement,” Castro said. He invoked the memory of his grandmother, who had a foot amputated because of diabetes before pledging to “strengthen Medicare and make sure it’s available to every single person in this country.” But he was vague about what exactly that meant or how he would do it.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The crowd, by now scant, seemed most aroused by Castro’s description of inequality in the criminal justice system. After noting approvingly that white supremacist Dylann Roof was convicted of killing nine African Americans in a Charleston, South Carolina church in 2015, Castro said “what about Eric Garner … and across the Bay Stephon Clark? They need justice too,” he said referring to unarmed people of color who died at the hands of police.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Castro, in a reference to President Trump’s immigration policies, said what he looked forward to most if he is elected is the traditional “changing of the guard” walk from the White House to the inauguration at the U.S. Capitol with the outgoing and incoming presidents and their spouses. “What I’ll say is, adios.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sen.

Sanders was slated to talk on Sunday — usually most of the out-of-town delegates have headed for the airport by then. There was some thought that perhaps it was intended to help keep the most liberal activists around long enough to vote for Kimberly Ellis in a much-expected Sunday runoff for party chair. But with Rusty Hicks sewing it up in the first round last night, Sanders ended up playing to a much smaller crowd than Saturday’s speakers.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">But Sanders wasted no time doing what others have done this weekend — obliquely criticizing Joe Biden without mentioning his name.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“In my view we will not defeat Donald Trump unless we bring excitement and energy into the campaign. We have to give millions of working people and young people a reason to vote and a reason to believe that politics is relevant to their lives,” Sanders said.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sanders, thanked those who supported his 2016 campaign for president saying “today we take that revolution forward.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Adding to the weekend’s pile of insults and criticisms of President Trump, Sanders called him “the worst president in the history of this country — a president who is racist, sexist, homophobic and a religious bigot.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Citing a litany of issues including health care, gun control, making corporations pay their fair of taxes “including Amazon” and abortion, Sanders said repeatedly “there is no middle ground.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sanders certainly still has his army of supporters in California, but as the convention winds down there is a sense that as Sen. Elizabeth Warren rises, Sanders will fall, losing support to the candidate President Trump derides as “Pocahontas.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Many delegates and other party insiders say Warren’s \u003cem>tour de force\u003c/em> performance Saturday put her on the radar for many people who were supporting Kamala Harris or Sen. Sanders.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sen.

Grandparents have merit, fathers have merit,” Inslee said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When his speech turned toward climate change, Inslee focused on the human impacts of increasingly intense wildfires, which he witnessed in trips to the California towns of Paradise and Malibu.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I decided in my final days on Earth, I want to look my grandchildren in the eyes and say I did everything possible to save them from the clutches of climate change,” he added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Inslee was a frequent collaborator with former California Gov.
