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.",

In response to the pandemic, authorities have imposed 57-hour weekend lockdowns and ordered residents to wear face coverings in public.

You know, you look at climate change, that is people who are saying, ‘we’d rather make money than save the world.’ That is an amazing statement, and it’s happening today. And there are politicians supporting that.’ —Tom Steyer, \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q0pFvLtryd0&feature=youtu.be\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">July 2019\u003c/a>\u003c/em>\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Been There\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">Tom Steyer rose to fame as the most prolific Democratic political donor, willing to spend tens of millions to elect candidates committed to action on climate change. But he has divulged little about why he decided to end a successful career managing a multibillion dollar hedge fund — with investments that included fossil fuel interests — to enter politics and the climate fight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">In a 2014 profile, \u003ca href=\"https://www.mensjournal.com/features/tom-steyer-an-inconvenient-billionaire-20140218\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">he told \u003c/a>Men’s Journal that he realized, “I really don’t want the highlight of my life to be my success as an investor.” His wife, Kathryn Taylor, said the couple became embarrassed in the mid 2000s that they were profiting from investments in oil companies while committing themselves to environmental issues. In 2012, Steyer stepped down from his role at the hedge fund, sold his personal fossil fuel assets, and got involved in electoral politics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote align=\"right\" size=\"medium\"]Analysis: The Candidates on Climate Change\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/science/1956430/joe-biden-climate-profile-surprising-embrace-of-green-new-deal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Joe Biden\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/science/1956501/michael-bloomberg-climate-profile-shutting-down-coal-modest-federal-spending%22\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Michael Bloomberg\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/science/1956514/pete-buttigieg-climate-profile-making-u-s-the-worlds-clean-tech-leader\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Pete Buttigieg\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/science/1956525/amy-klobuchar-climate-profile-using-presidency-to-restore-clean-energy-policies\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Amy Klobuchar\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/science/1956421/bernie-sanders-climate-profile-16-trillion-in-spending-for-most-ambitious-plan-yet\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bernie Sanders\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/science/1957088/donald-trump-climate-profile-this-president-is-all-about-fossil-fuels\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Donald Trump\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/science/1956437/elizabeth-warren-climate-profile-taking-up-mantle-of-former-climate-candidate-inslee\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Elizabeth Warren\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Done That\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">Steyer’s chief climate accomplishments have come through his checkbook. The billionaire emerged as a climate-champion counterpoint to the Koch brothers, the conservative oil barons. In 2013, he devoted millions of dollars to candidates across the country, from the \u003ca href=\"https://www.politico.com/story/2013/11/ken-cuccinelli-virginia-governor-2013-democrats-099255\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">governor’s race in Virginia\u003c/a> to \u003ca href=\"https://www.pri.org/stories/2013-10-28/environmentalists-and-big-coal-fight-it-out-small-election-washington-state\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">county council elections\u003c/a> in Washington state, who promised to take action on climate change or oppose fossil fuel development.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">He founded the nonprofit NextGen Climate the same year to build a political movement around climate action, working on voter registration and mobilization. Since then, he and Taylor have given nearly $240 million to federal candidates, parties and committees, placing them among the nation’s top donors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">Last year, NextGen backed ballot initiatives in Arizona and Nevada that would require the states to get half their electricity from renewable sources by 2030. Voters rejected the measure in Arizona, but approved it in Nevada.

You know, you look at climate change, that is people who are saying, ‘we’d rather make money than save the world.’ That is an amazing statement, and it’s happening today. And there are politicians supporting that.’ —Tom Steyer, \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q0pFvLtryd0&feature=youtu.be\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">July 2019\u003c/a>\u003c/em>\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Been There\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">Tom Steyer rose to fame as the most prolific Democratic political donor, willing to spend tens of millions to elect candidates committed to action on climate change. But he has divulged little about why he decided to end a successful career managing a multibillion dollar hedge fund — with investments that included fossil fuel interests — to enter politics and the climate fight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">In a 2014 profile, \u003ca href=\"https://www.mensjournal.com/features/tom-steyer-an-inconvenient-billionaire-20140218\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">he told \u003c/a>Men’s Journal that he realized, “I really don’t want the highlight of my life to be my success as an investor.” His wife, Kathryn Taylor, said the couple became embarrassed in the mid 2000s that they were profiting from investments in oil companies while committing themselves to environmental issues. In 2012, Steyer stepped down from his role at the hedge fund, sold his personal fossil fuel assets, and got involved in electoral politics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
