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.",

Wade during its next term, which starts Monday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In San Francisco, thousands of people rallied in front of City Hall and marched down Market Street to support abortion rights on Saturday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I'm here to support women. What's happening in Texas is disgusting, and I'm from Texas,\" said Ally Hansen, a Mountain View resident who spoke to KQED at the San Francisco rally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Others said the recent Texas abortion restriction galvanized them to rally, like University of San Francisco student Cherry Jordan. She argued that women of color may lose out the biggest in terms of health care access.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I am a woman of color and it affects Black women especially. They don't receive the same quality health care that white people do,\" said Jordan, who is Filipina.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Women's March, which organized annual protests during Donald Trump's presidency, helped stage Saturday's rallies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is a coalition that is gathering under the hashtag 'Rally for Abortion Justice,' and Women's March is playing a particular role inside of that,\" said Executive Director Rachel Carmona. \"Obviously, we have, as you know, as the 'Taken' movies would say, 'a specific set of skills,' and we can stand up a march of this size in four weeks.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/MsHossaini/status/1444372398183120896\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That makes Women's March one arm of a much bigger strategy for abortion-rights advocates as they figure out how to react to Texas's SB 8, \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2021/09/01/1033171800/texas-abortion-ban-supreme-court-\">a law that bans abortions after about six weeks of pregnancy\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We really thought we were going to get relief from the Supreme Court with this being so blatantly unconstitutional,\" said Marva Sadler, director of clinical services at Whole Woman's Health in McAllen, Texas. \"But what we do next, and exactly what happens next? I don't know that any of us know that yet.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The day before the march, the Biden administration urged a federal judge to block the nation’s most restrictive abortion law, which has banned most abortions in Texas since early September. It's one of a series of cases that will give the nation's divided high court occasion to uphold or overrule Roe v. Wade.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Texas law motivated many of the demonstrators and speakers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re going to keep giving it to Texas,” Marsha Jones of the Afiya Center for Black women’s reproductive justice in Dallas pledged to a crowd of marchers in Washington. “You can no longer tell us what to do with our bodies!”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Abortion-rights advocates in Texas have mobilized to inform patients of their options, as well as to provide funds to help people pay for the procedures. There are legal challenges to the law, and the city of \u003ca href=\"https://www.austintexas.gov/edims/document.cfm?id=367768\">Austin has agreed to \"investigate and pursue appropriate legal action in support of current efforts to challenge\" SB 8\u003c/a>.

Wade during its next term, which starts Monday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In San Francisco, thousands of people rallied in front of City Hall and marched down Market Street to support abortion rights on Saturday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I'm here to support women. What's happening in Texas is disgusting, and I'm from Texas,\" said Ally Hansen, a Mountain View resident who spoke to KQED at the San Francisco rally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Others said the recent Texas abortion restriction galvanized them to rally, like University of San Francisco student Cherry Jordan. She argued that women of color may lose out the biggest in terms of health care access.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I am a woman of color and it affects Black women especially. They don't receive the same quality health care that white people do,\" said Jordan, who is Filipina.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The protocols aim to prevent migrants from “gaming” the asylum system for economic opportunity in the U.S. The policy allows U.S. border authorities, after an initial asylum screening, to turn back non-Mexican adults to wait for an immigration court hearing on the Mexican side of the border.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It is one of several actions by the administration that have transformed the U.S. asylum system and effectively kept out the increased number of people seeking refuge in this country.

[aside tag=\"immigration\" label=\"more coverage\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More than 66,000 asylum seekers have fallen under the Remain in Mexico plan since it began in January of last year, including more than \u003ca href=\"https://trac.syr.edu/immigration/reports/628/\">25,000 with cases pending\u003c/a> in immigration courts. Most have had to shelter in Mexican border cities where cartel and gang violence is rampant, and where it has proven \u003ca href=\"https://trac.syr.edu/immigration/reports/568/\">nearly impossible\u003c/a> for migrants to find U.S. lawyers to guide their cases through an unfamiliar immigration court system. Only a tiny fraction of them — 260 people in total — \u003ca href=\"https://trac.syr.edu/phptools/immigration/mpp/\">have won asylum\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The program was \u003ca href=\"https://www.aclu.org/cases/innovation-law-lab-v-wolf\">challenged\u003c/a> by 11 asylum seekers and a group of immigrant legal service providers, including several in the Bay Area.

And by then, the legal and political landscape may have changed significantly. Judge Amy Coney Barrett may have been confirmed to fill the vacancy left by the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, likely solidifying a conservative majority on the court. And the presidential election will have been decided.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But a more conservative court won’t necessarily rule in Trump’s favor, especially on the border wall funding case, said Kevin R. Johnson, dean of the UC Davis School of Law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If I had to guess, I’d say it’s more likely the [border wall] appropriations case will be upheld,” Johnson said. The court “may have a conservative bent, but they do respect the constitutional separation of powers framework.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, if Biden is elected, he could simply end the border wall construction and the “Remain in Mexico” policy, which were executive actions to begin with, and dismiss the government’s appeals to the Supreme Court, Johnson said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It makes all the difference who the president is,” he said. “If you wanted these cases to go away\u003cstrong>,\u003c/strong> you’d vote for a Biden-Harris ticket.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

Most have had to shelter in Mexican border cities where cartel and gang violence is rampant, and where it has proven \u003ca href=\"https://trac.syr.edu/immigration/reports/568/\">nearly impossible\u003c/a> for migrants to find U.S. lawyers to guide their cases through an unfamiliar immigration court system. Only a tiny fraction of them — 260 people in total — \u003ca href=\"https://trac.syr.edu/phptools/immigration/mpp/\">have won asylum\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The program was \u003ca href=\"https://www.aclu.org/cases/innovation-law-lab-v-wolf\">challenged\u003c/a> by 11 asylum seekers and a group of immigrant legal service providers, including several in the Bay Area. Plaintiffs say the protocols do not provide “protection” to migrants, but rather put them in harm’s way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Thousands of families remain stranded in increasingly perilous conditions, where many have faced brutal violence and homelessness,” said Blaine Bookey, legal director for the San Francisco-based Center for Gender and Refugee Studies. “We will continue the fight to stop this cruelty once and for all.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last year, U.S. District Judge Richard Seeborg in San Francisco ruled that the policy likely violates the Immigration and Nationality Act, and other legal protections against returning immigrants to “unduly dangerous circumstances.” Again, the 9th Circuit agreed. And, again, the Supreme Court intervened to allow the policy to go forward while the case is litigated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

And by then, the legal and political landscape may have changed significantly. Judge Amy Coney Barrett may have been confirmed to fill the vacancy left by the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, likely solidifying a conservative majority on the court. And the presidential election will have been decided.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But a more conservative court won’t necessarily rule in Trump’s favor, especially on the border wall funding case, said Kevin R. Johnson, dean of the UC Davis School of Law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If I had to guess, I’d say it’s more likely the [border wall] appropriations case will be upheld,” Johnson said. The court “may have a conservative bent, but they do respect the constitutional separation of powers framework.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, if Biden is elected, he could simply end the border wall construction and the “Remain in Mexico” policy, which were executive actions to begin with, and dismiss the government’s appeals to the Supreme Court, Johnson said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It makes all the difference who the president is,” he said. “If you wanted these cases to go away\u003cstrong>,\u003c/strong> you’d vote for a Biden-Harris ticket.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Judges are not policymakers and they must be resolute in setting aside any policy views they might hold.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In introducing his nominee, Trump linked the weight of a Supreme Court appointment with a message he touts on the campaign trail, calling “law and order” the foundation of the U.S. justice system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The stakes for our country are incredibly high,” Trump said. “Rulings that the Supreme Court will issue in the coming years will decide the survival of our Second Amendment, our religious liberty, our public safety and so much more. To maintain security, liberty and prosperity, we must maintain our priceless heritage of a nation of laws and there is no one better to do that than Amy Coney Barrett.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Barrett also introduced her husband and seven children, who were seated in the audience, joking that it makes sense that Trump is nominating her to join a bench of nine justices.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As it happens, I’m used to being in a group of nine: my family,” Barrett said, telling the audience that in addition to federal judge, she wears other hats: carpool driver, birthday party planner, and recently, teacher, as her children attend school remotely due to the pandemic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/KamalaHarris/status/1309967708126052352\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Barrett also seemed to acknowledge the charged political moment she’s stepping into, saying she has “no illusions that the road ahead for me will be easy.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The president has nominated me to serve on the United States Supreme Court, and that institution belongs to all of us. If confirmed, I would not assume that role for the sake of those in my own circle and certainly not for my own sake. I would assume this role to serve you. I would discharge the judicial oath, which requires me to administer justice without respect to persons, do equal right to the poor and rich, and faithfully and impartially discharge my duties under the United States Constitution.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump appointed Barrett to the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Chicago just three years ago. Before that, she taught law at the University of Notre Dame for 15 years and clerked for Justice Antonin Scalia, widely seen by conservatives as a legal legend.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Barrett is admired by conservatives for her positions on abortion rights and the Affordable Care Act. A devout Catholic, she is also a favorite of religious conservatives. At 48, Barrett would be the youngest justice on the Supreme Court if confirmed, allowing her to potentially shape American law and society for generations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Within hours of Ginsburg’s death last Friday, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., pledged to bring Trump’s nominee for a vote on the Senate floor. The president has made clear he wants his nominee approved by Election Day, predicting that the results of the presidential election may end up in front of the Supreme Court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats, including Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, say whoever wins in November should pick the next justice, citing McConnell’s successful effort in 2016 to block President Barack Obama’s nominee for the Supreme Court, Merrick Garland, about eight months before the election. Now, Trump is setting up a Supreme Court fight just over a month before the 2020 election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Republican Sens. Susan Collins of Maine and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska have said they do not support a vote on a nominee before the election, other Republican senators considered to be potential swing votes, including Sen. Mitt Romney of Utah, announced they would support moving forward with a Supreme Court confirmation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/GavinNewsom/status/1309969668480708608\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ginsburg Vigil Draws Tears, Protests Against McConnell\u003cbr>\nThat support likely gives Trump the votes he will need to get his nominee on the bench. Still, Capitol Hill is bracing for a high-stakes political battle in the weeks and even days leading up to the election, spilling onto the campaign trail both in the presidential contest and for several tight Senate races.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A Senate Republican aide told NPR on Saturday that confirmation hearings are set to begin on Oct. 12 and last four days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Democrats have already been framing the nomination as a battle to preserve health care — with a major challenge to the Affordable Care Act on the court’s schedule this fall — while Republicans see abortion as a salient issue to bolster support for Trump’s filling the seat as soon as possible.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump began promoting his forthcoming nomination the day after the court announced Ginsburg had died. During a rally in North Carolina last Saturday night, Trump promised to pick a woman for the seat, a nod to Ginsburg’s lifelong efforts to promote the equality of women under the law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This week, thousands of mourners lined up outside the Supreme Court where Ginsburg’s casket lay in repose at the top of the court’s marble steps. On Friday, Ginsburg lay in state inside the U.S. Capitol’s Statuary Hall, the first woman and the first Jewish American to receive such an honor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ginsburg will be buried at Arlington Cemetery on Tuesday, following the Jewish holiday Yom Kippur.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Judges are not policymakers and they must be resolute in setting aside any policy views they might hold.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In introducing his nominee, Trump linked the weight of a Supreme Court appointment with a message he touts on the campaign trail, calling “law and order” the foundation of the U.S. justice system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The stakes for our country are incredibly high,” Trump said. “Rulings that the Supreme Court will issue in the coming years will decide the survival of our Second Amendment, our religious liberty, our public safety and so much more. To maintain security, liberty and prosperity, we must maintain our priceless heritage of a nation of laws and there is no one better to do that than Amy Coney Barrett.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Barrett also introduced her husband and seven children, who were seated in the audience, joking that it makes sense that Trump is nominating her to join a bench of nine justices.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As it happens, I’m used to being in a group of nine: my family,” Barrett said, telling the audience that in addition to federal judge, she wears other hats: carpool driver, birthday party planner, and recently, teacher, as her children attend school remotely due to the pandemic.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

If confirmed, I would not assume that role for the sake of those in my own circle and certainly not for my own sake. I would assume this role to serve you.

Now, Trump is setting up a Supreme Court fight just over a month before the 2020 election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Republican Sens. Susan Collins of Maine and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska have said they do not support a vote on a nominee before the election, other Republican senators considered to be potential swing votes, including Sen.
