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.",

And running simply on an anti-Trump message — like Clinton tried and failed last year — wouldn't work for Democrats in 2018 either, no matter how mired in scandal and controversy over Russia the White House may be. Instead, Ryan argued voters want to know how Democrats will address economic concerns and grow jobs, and so far the party doesn't have a coherent message on that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You know you can sit here and we'll talk about Russia all day long today on Capitol Hill and in Washington. You go back to Ohio, they're not talking about Russia. They're not. They're not talking about Putin, Russia, Flynn. ... I just feel like we're so disconnected from what real people are thinking about. We're overwhelmed with our anger towards Trump. And I'm mad at Trump, but I'm madder at the Democrats for letting him get in. And we better focus,\" Ryan said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's OK to be mad,\" Ryan added, but Democrats have to find a way to channel that into policy ideas. \"If you stay mad, you stay angry, you're unproductive. And I think you know the energy is good, but we better start moving towards a focus on an agenda that's going to help working-class people.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rep. Seth Moulton, D-Mass., who supported Ryan in the leadership elections, also said it was time for a change at the top, and that this loss — where Democrats poured in tens of millions of dollars only to do worse than Clinton did in the district — \"better be a wake-up call.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Look, I think the Democratic Party has to come to terms with the fact that what we're doing isn't working,\" Moulton said. \"It's time for some change. I think it's time for a new generation of leadership.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Moulton, a 38-year-old Iraq War veteran, was elected to Congress in 2014. He argued that when strategy doesn't work, there have to be repercussions at the top.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Certainly, one thing I learned as a Marine is my job description was very simple: You're responsible for everything your platoon does or fails to do,\" Moulton said. \"I think our leadership owes us an explanation for what's gone on in these four elections, but also a plan for moving forward. That's the most important part.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other members were even more blunt in their assessment of the Georgia defeat and Pelosi's culpability.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think you'd have to be an idiot to think we could win the House with Pelosi at the top,\" Rep. Filemon Vela, D-Texas, \u003ca href=\"http://www.politico.com/story/2017/06/21/nancy-pelosi-fallout-georgia-special-election-239804\" target=\"_blank\">told Politico\u003c/a>. \"Nancy Pelosi is not the only reason that Ossoff lost.

Bill Pascrell, D-New Jersey\u003c/cite>\u003cbr>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>For GOP consultants, tie-every-Democrat-to-Pelosi is a tried-and-true strategy that's been working for more than six years. Veteran GOP ad-maker Brad Todd says that's because the San Francisco congresswoman is the personification of the liberal values they can't stomach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There are plenty of people who have qualms with Trump on one level or another, but are totally willing to stick with him because the Democratic option is just too far left,\" Todd said. \"Pelosi is the human embodiment of that. She fits the stereotype of exactly what swing voters can't stand about the Democratic Party.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the Ossoff race, even though the 30-year-old documentary filmmaker and former congressional staffer ended up running a more centrist and not Trump-centric campaign, Republicans were able to zero in on the more than $23 million in donations Ossoff raised, largely from liberal enclaves like California and New York, and make an easy connection to Pelosi. One of their ads even features the Bay Area and branded the two Democrats together, putting his photo alongside hers on the Golden Gate Bridge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pelosi allies have pushed back at the blame game and pointed to the improvement Democrats had in other special elections in Kansas, Montana and South Carolina as evidence that their efforts to harness the resistance against Trump was working. And they point out that even if Georgia's 6th District, which the president only narrowly carried, wasn't Trump Country, it was still a reliably red area that was going to be hard to overcome.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Dby318yFqU&w=560&h=315]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In the previous election — the Republican candidate won by more than 20 points. To come within a hair's breath of winning that seat is nothing short of extraordinary,\" said House Democratic Caucus Vice Chairwoman Linda Sánchez, D-California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In the districts where we are truly competitive, I don't think that [anti-Pelosi] message is going to hold very much,\" said Rep. Karen Bass, D-California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Look, they demonized Nancy in 2010, they demonized her in 2006. We're used to that,\" said New Jersey Democratic Rep. Bill Pascrell.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A top aide to Pelosi dismissed the blaming, saying that Pelosi still enjoys broad support among the conference and that any party leader would be subject to partisan attacks. And she remains the party's most prodigious fundraiser, bringing in $567.9 million for the party since she joined leadership in 2002. Last cycle alone, she raised $141.5 million.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a letter to her colleagues on Wednesday about the special elections, Pelosi maintained an upbeat tone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Every effort was made to win last night. But we don't agonize, we organize — organize inside the House and mobilize outside for the good of the American people,\" she wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But with Republicans re-energized after the Georgia win, they're praying she doesn't go anywhere anytime soon. After she was re-elected Democratic leader, the Republican National Committee \u003ca href=\"http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/gop-hangs-hire-pelosi-sign-outside-headquarters/article/2608377\" target=\"_blank\">unfurled a banner\u003c/a> that read \"Hire Pelosi\" outside its headquarters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It works only 100 percent of the time,\" said Todd, the GOP ad-maker. \"Pelosi is the gift that keeps on giving.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2017 NPR.

And we better focus,\" Ryan said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's OK to be mad,\" Ryan added, but Democrats have to find a way to channel that into policy ideas. \"If you stay mad, you stay angry, you're unproductive.

That's the most important part.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other members were even more blunt in their assessment of the Georgia defeat and Pelosi's culpability.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think you'd have to be an idiot to think we could win the House with Pelosi at the top,\" Rep.

Veteran GOP ad-maker Brad Todd says that's because the San Francisco congresswoman is the personification of the liberal values they can't stomach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There are plenty of people who have qualms with Trump on one level or another, but are totally willing to stick with him because the Democratic option is just too far left,\" Todd said. \"Pelosi is the human embodiment of that. She fits the stereotype of exactly what swing voters can't stand about the Democratic Party.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the Ossoff race, even though the 30-year-old documentary filmmaker and former congressional staffer ended up running a more centrist and not Trump-centric campaign, Republicans were able to zero in on the more than $23 million in donations Ossoff raised, largely from liberal enclaves like California and New York, and make an easy connection to Pelosi. One of their ads even features the Bay Area and branded the two Democrats together, putting his photo alongside hers on the Golden Gate Bridge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pelosi allies have pushed back at the blame game and pointed to the improvement Democrats had in other special elections in Kansas, Montana and South Carolina as evidence that their efforts to harness the resistance against Trump was working. And they point out that even if Georgia's 6th District, which the president only narrowly carried, wasn't Trump Country, it was still a reliably red area that was going to be hard to overcome.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\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/1Dby318yFqU'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/1Dby318yFqU'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In the previous election — the Republican candidate won by more than 20 points.

In May, she \u003ca href=\"http://www.cnn.com/2017/06/07/politics/kamala-harris-senate-intelligence-hearing/index.html\">made headlines\u003c/a> after she was cut off by Intelligence Committee chairman Sen.

John McCain, an ex-officio member of the Intelligence Committee who got annoyed at the end of Harris’ five minutes that she kept interrupting Sessions. At that point, Harris was grilling Sessions on which government policy he kept invoking when he refused to discuss conversations he’s had with Trump — and whether he actually read the policy as he prepared for testimony.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With that and other questions, Harris seemed to be laying the groundwork to request written documents from the Justice Department and White House.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Harris wasn’t the only one confused about Sessions’ refusal to discuss his interactions with the president, even though he wouldn’t claim executive privilege.

The GOP bill would also reduce the deficit by $119 billion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s what the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office \u003ca href=\"https://www.cbo.gov/system/files/115th-congress-2017-2018/costestimate/hr1628aspassed.pdf\">reported on Wednesday\u003c/a> in its latest score of the American Health Care Act. The CBO’s assessment raises potential concerns about the bill. The agency reports that the bill could destabilize individual insurance markets in some states, leaving unhealthy Americans unable to buy insurance. The CBO also notes that the AHCA could mean some Americans would buy coverage that doesn’t cover “major medical risks.” Because of those policies’ skimpy coverage, the CBO doesn’t count those people as insured in this report.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fate of the bill rests in part on this score, as House Republicans passed their most recent version of the bill without waiting for the CBO to report the bill’s estimated price tag. Three weeks after passing the bill, however, they have not sent the bill on to the Senate yet, because budget rules dictate that if its deficit savings did not reach $2 billion (and that $2 billion had to come from particular spending categories), the bill would be dead upon arrival in the upper chamber.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The deficit reduction in the latest version of the bill represents a decline from previous versions. When the CBO \u003ca href=\"https://www.cbo.gov/sites/default/files/115th-congress-2017-2018/costestimate/americanhealthcareact.pdf\">first scored the AHCA\u003c/a>, it said the plan would save $337 billion over 10 years. Later revisions reduced those savings \u003ca href=\"https://www.cbo.gov/system/files/115th-congress-2017-2018/costestimate/hr1628.pdf\">to $150 billion\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By far the biggest savings would come from Medicaid, which serves low-income Americans. That program would face $884 billion in cuts. Cutbacks in subsidies for individual health insurance would likewise help cut $276 billion. But those are offset in large part by bigger costs, including the repeal of many of Obamacare’s taxes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

When the CBO \u003ca href=\"https://www.cbo.gov/sites/default/files/115th-congress-2017-2018/costestimate/americanhealthcareact.pdf\">first scored the AHCA\u003c/a>, it said the plan would save $337 billion over 10 years. Later revisions reduced those savings \u003ca href=\"https://www.cbo.gov/system/files/115th-congress-2017-2018/costestimate/hr1628.pdf\">to $150 billion\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By far the biggest savings would come from Medicaid, which serves low-income Americans. That program would face $884 billion in cuts. Cutbacks in subsidies for individual health insurance would likewise help cut $276 billion. But those are offset in large part by bigger costs, including the repeal of many of Obamacare’s taxes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
