Banks weigh whether to embrace or avoid progressive firebrand Ocasio-Cortez – Reuters
Banks weigh whether to embrace or avoid progressive firebrand Ocasio-Cortez – Reuters

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Court, avoid or sideline?

Barely a month into the new Congress, financial lobbyists in Washington are already strategizing how to handle the star power of rookie Democrat lawmaker Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

The Democratic Socialist and Wall Street critic joined the 60-member House Financial Services Committee in mid-January and more than a dozen lobbyists interviewed by Reuters say the 29-year-old activist and former bartender is too high-profile to ignore.

Richard Hunt, chief executive of the Consumer Bankers Association, said he had not encountered a lawmaker like Ocasio-Cortez in more than 20 years in Washington. “She has the ability to influence unlike a lot of other freshmen.”

The youngest woman ever to serve in Congress, Ocasio-Cortez has become a social media phenomenon with her posts and live-streams on everything from climate change to skin care tips attracting millions of followers across Twitter and Instagram.

The New York native has proved adept at using humor to explain complex concepts or rebuke opponents, often while preparing dinner or hanging out in her pajamas. A video of the lawmaker dancing outside her Congressional office last month has been viewed 21 million times.

An economics major and self-confessed “science nerd,” Ocasio-Cortez campaigned on issues that put her at odds with the financial industry, including separating commercial and investment banking, breaking up large banks, and forgiving student debt.

Central to her campaign has been the rejection of corporate campaign dollars, closing off a traditional avenue for industry access and influence on Capitol Hill.

Now lobbyists fear that her enlarged platform will help the first-term junior lawmaker push her ideas into the mainstream and are trying to figure out how best to respond.

Lobbyists representing big banks, such as JPMorgan Chase & Co, Citigroup, Bank of America Corp, Wells Fargo and Morgan Stanley, which have embraced progressive causes such as diversity, inclusion, gun control or above-minimum wages, want to push these credentials. They also want to highlight how they employ thousands of people in Ocasio-Cortez’s district in Queens and the Bronx, they said.

Smaller and mid-size firms, meanwhile, want to distance themselves from Wall Street titans and emphasize their critical role as community lenders.

Several financial lobbyists, noting she lacks a financial services background, said they were keen to meet with Ocasio-Cortez to explain their business models and issues.

Paul Merski, executive vice president at the Independent Community Bankers of America, said the group had contacted the lawmaker’s office and was hoping to schedule a meeting. He added his focus would be to draw the distinction between larger financial firms and ICBA’s members, which as small community lenders have built-up “tremendous goodwill” across the aisle.

Spokespeople for JPMorgan, Citigroup, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, and Morgan Stanley declined to comment.

Speaking to Reuters on the sidelines of a Capitol Hill event on Wednesday, Ocasio-Cortez said the appointment of progressives like her to the panel “sends a very powerful message” to the financial industry.

She said she wanted to pursue aggressive oversight and expose financial corporations’ role in broader areas of concern, such as the detention of children in privately-funded facilities on the Mexico border.

“We can leap back in and say, what does a responsible financial sector looks like?”

“LIKE TALKING TO THE FBI”

Other lobbyists worry, however, engaging her could backfire, especially if Ocasio-Cortez uses social media to publicize the meeting. For example, she went on Twitter to name and shame corporate lobbyists at a Congressional freshman orientation event in December.

     “The fear is, it’s like going in to talk to the FBI, anything you do or say can be used against you,” said one lobbyist for a major bank.

Lobbyists note how Ocasio-Cortez has already ignited a public debate on climate change and inequality by calling for a Green New Deal and proposing a 70 percent tax on income exceeding $10 million, an idea Nobel Laureate Paul Krugman has endorsed.

    Waleed Shahid, a former campaign aide and a spokesman for Justice Democrats, the progressive group that recruited Ocasio-Cortez, said her ability to raise public awareness about complex issues had caught the establishment’s attention.

“She can really explain what is happening with Wall Street in a way the public can understand it, and that’s why Wall Street is terrified.”

Speaking to Reuters, Ocasio-Cortez did not rule out listening to industry concerns to arrive at responsible regulation, but said “they have more than enough sympathetic ears” on the committee.

“We also saw in 2008 just a lot of advocacy for policies that were at its core totally irresponsible. But they were dressed up as conservative fair-minded measures,” she added.

The financial industry faced a similar challenge in 2012 when newly elected progressive firebrand Elizabeth Warren joined the Senate Banking Committee and her grilling of bank executives and regulators won her a national following.

    But while Warren was well-known as a consumer advocate before joining Congress, she did not have the same social media platform as Ocasio-Cortez. Isaac Boltansky, director of policy research at Washington-based boutique investment bank Compass Point Research & Trading, said that whichever bank slips up next will get “taken to the woodshed in a way that we haven’t seen before.”

Often caught flatfooted by Warren, the industry hopes to rebuild bipartisan support it enjoyed in Congress before the 2007-2009 financial crisis. And with many incumbent centrist Democrats smarting after Ocasio-Cortez called them out for doing big business’s bidding, some see an opportunity to divide and conquer.

    Several lobbyists told Reuters they believed they could isolate Ocasio-Cortez and other progressives on the financial services committee by building coalitions with moderate Democrats, such as fellow New York Representative Gregory Meeks, and centrist Republicans.

    They said they would also lean on Committee Chairwoman Maxine Waters, a Democrat and a liberal who has pledged to work across the aisle, to rein in the progressive wing.

A spokeswoman for Waters declined to comment.

    In a statement, Meeks said his priority this Congress would be to promote policies that “support our financial system, but ensure everyone benefits from its successes.”

Lawyers may appeal suicide case to US high court – Valley News Live
Lawyers may appeal suicide case to US high court – Valley News Live

BOSTON (AP) Lawyers for a woman who as a teenager encouraged her suicidal boyfriend to kill himself say they will consider appealing her involuntary manslaughter conviction to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Attorneys for 22-year-old Michelle Carter say in an email Wednesday they are disappointed Massachusetts’ highest court upheld her conviction in the 2014 death of Conrad Roy III.

Carter’s lawyers say they continue to believe Carter didn’t cause Roy’s death. They say they will examine all legal options, including a possible appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Carter was sentenced to 15 months in jail, but has remained free while she pursues her appeals.

Her case drew international attention due to the thorny legal questions and the insistent tone of her text messages to Roy.

“As long as this pattern persists, we should end up way above normal. Reservoirs will be filled. Hopefully, there won’t be too much damage in the burn zones,” Patzert said. “All things considered, instead of the perfect storm, it’s been, literally, the perfectly benign storms. Just what we needed.”

For Democrats, it’s never too late to abort – Washington Examiner
For Democrats, it’s never too late to abort – Washington Examiner

Never say it’s too late to expand freedom and happiness. Our feminist friends are happily expanding the right to abortion from the three month line, where about 60 percent of Americans prefer it be ended, to six months, where 90 percent want it ended, to full gestation, or even the onset of labor, or maybe beyond even that.

Some time ago, pro-choice fanatic Barbara Boxer said that a baby had rights when “brought home from the hospital,” and perhaps not a moment before. In the old days, when people had standards, it was considered extreme to puncture the baby’s skull and then suck its brains out while its body was still in the birth canal, but the abortion rights movement had already gone far beyond that.

In New York, Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo recently signed a bill allowing abortion at the moment of birth, and then ordered a light show to celebrate. in Virginia, Delegate Kathy Tran introduced, Gov. Ralph Northam supported, and the House of Delegates killed a bill that went beyond even that, changing the number of doctors needed to okay a late term abortion from three down to one. It would have also dropped a requirement for nonviability or gross defect in the fetus, or a genuine threat to the life of the mother. A mere case of the mother’s unease would have justified an abortion moments before birth.

After that, in the priceless words of the Democratic governor, who is busy aborting his career on a race-centered issue, the following things would take place: “If a mother is in labor, I can tell you exactly what would happen. The infant would be delivered. The infant would be kept comfortable. The infant would be resuscitated if that’s what the mother and the family desired, and then a discussion would ensue.”

A “discussion” of what? The baby was born; in the eyes of the law, it’s a full human being; in the eyes of the Left it is otherwise. The “choice” that is left, if the baby is actually born, seems to be whether it is allowed to keep living or not.

Northam seems to believe there is such a thing as a post-natal abortion. In the real world, this goes by harsher words such as manslaughter, infanticide, and murder. Does Northam even seem to begin to understand what it is he said? Most probably not.

In concurrent events, Northam seems to have even more problems in his recollections of what he was doing and why. First, he confessed that one of the two people dressed in blackface or the white sheets of a Klansman. whose picture appeared on his page in his medical school yearbook for 1984, had indeed been himself. The next day, he recanted the story, and said that though he appeared in blackface at other times and in other places, this wasn’t actually him in the picture at all.

No doubt it was this, along with his belief that a baby who had already been born could still be aborted, that led Democrats to shun him and his bill as radioactive, to deny all awareness of all its provisions, and to refuse to discuss it all. The only real friends of this bill were those in the press, who led with the theme of “Republicans Pounce,” and expressed their concern for poor Kathy Tran, whose feelings were hurt in the course of the fracas.

Democracy, it seems, dies only in darkness. Or if we stop killing babies at all.

Pelosi’s literal clap-back at Trump is the most iconic moment of the night – AOL
Pelosi’s literal clap-back at Trump is the most iconic moment of the night – AOL

President Donald Trump spoke for more than an hour and 20 minutes last night, but the moment that may be remembered best from his State of the Union address had no words at all. 

It was when House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) stood and applauded a line from Trump’s speech in a way that seemed rife with sarcasm to many observers. 

The moment came after an eyebrow-raising call for unity from Trump that seemed at direct odds with his own long history of Twitter insults, especially coming on the heels of a pre-speech luncheon in which he reportedly insulted multiple political rivals.   

“We must reject the politics of revenge, resistance and retribution, and embrace the boundless potential of cooperation, compromise and the common good,” Trump said in his State of the Union address.

Pelosi then stood and clapped, aiming her applause at Trump, which rapidly turned into a meme:

Massachusetts high court upholds Michelle Carter’s conviction for texts encouraging boyfriend’s suicide – NBC News
Massachusetts high court upholds Michelle Carter’s conviction for texts encouraging boyfriend’s suicide – NBC News

The Massachusetts Supreme Court on Wednesday upheld the involuntary manslaughter conviction of a woman who encouraged her boyfriend’s suicide through text messages.

Michelle Carter will have to serve 15 months behind bars for the 2017 conviction that held her responsible for the July 2014 suicide of Conrad Roy III, 18.

“The evidence against the defendant proved that, by her wanton or reckless conduct, she caused the victim’s death by suicide,” according to the high court opinion.

“Her conviction of involuntary manslaughter as a youthful offender is not legally or constitutionally infirm. The judgment is therefore affirmed.”

Carter was on the phone with Roy as he inhaled carbon monoxide inside his Ford F-250 truck in Fairhaven, Massachusetts. At the time, Carter was 17 and about a month out of a psychiatric hospital.

She opted against a jury and Bristol County Juvenile Court Judge Lawrence Moniz found that Carter caused Roy’s death by telling him to “get back in” his truck as it was filling with poisonous fumes.

The high court cited Carter’s own words, in text messages to friends after Roy’s death, as supporting her conviction.

“As the defendant herself explained, and we repeat due to its importance, `[The victim’s] death is my fault like honestly I could have stopped him I was on the phone with him and he got out of the [truck] because it was working and he got scared and I f–king told him to get back in,'” the court wrote in its decision.

Her 15-month sentence had been on hold until the high court’s ruling.

“We are disappointed in the Court’s decision,” her lawyers said in a statement. “We continue to believe that Michelle Carter did not cause Conrad Roy’s tragic death and is not criminally responsible for his suicide.”

“We will evaluate all legal options including a possible appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court,” the statement said.

Carter’s defense also drew support from the American Civil Liberties Union of Massachusetts, which argued that her actions were First Amendment-protected free speech.

And Carter’s lawyers had argued to the high court that no one can be convicted of manslaughter for simply instructing someone to harm themselves.

But the state Supreme Court on Wednesday cited three cases that defendants were held criminally responsible for encouraging a suicide.

“In sum, our common law provides sufficient notice that a person might be charged with involuntary manslaughter for reckless or wanton conduct, causing a victim to commit suicide. The law is not unconstitutionally vague as applied to the defendant’s conduct,” the court said.

Ocasio-Cortez is not apologizing for her State of the Union reaction – New York Post
Ocasio-Cortez is not apologizing for her State of the Union reaction – New York Post

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez shot back at critics who complained that she didn’t show much enthusiasm while attending the State of the Union address, saying President Trump’s speech was an “unsettling night for our country.”

“Why should I be ‘spirited and warm’ for this embarrassment of a #SOTU?,” Ocasio-Cortez wrote on her Twitter account after the speech late Tuesday. “Tonight was an unsettling night for our country. The president failed to offer any plan, any vision at all, for our future. We’re flying without a pilot. And I‘m not here to comfort anyone about that fact.”

Ocasio-Cortez, at 29 the youngest woman ever elected to Congress, was responding to a tweet from Pulitzer Prize-winning writer Peggy Noonan, who was remarking on the Democratic women wearing white and took a shot at the freshman lawmaker from New York.

“And good natured with the white jackets, who I see some on twitter are calling the straight jackets. AOC had a rare bad night, looking not spirited, warm and original as usual but sullen, teenaged and at a loss,” tweeted Noonan, who was President Ronald Reagan’s speechwriter.

And Republican Assemblywoman Nicole Malliotakis, who will run for Congress in 2020, also chimed in on Ocasio-Cortez, who wore a brooch with a photo of a 7-year-old Guatemalan girl who died in December while in the custody of Customs and Border Protection.

“@AOC looks like someone who just found out an MS13 gang member in our country illegally committed a murder on a subway platform in her district after she spent months calling for ICE to be abolished. Oh wait …,” she posted on her Twitter page.

She was referring to Ramiro Gutierrez, an MS-13 member who was arrested for allegedly shooting a rival to death Sunday on a Queens subway platform.

The Democratic women were wearing white as a reminder that there are now 102 women in the House, which Democrats won control of in the November midterm elections, and to honor the women’s suffrage movement that led to the 19th Amendment in 1920 guaranteeing women the right to vote.

On Trump’s big applause line, the sound of silence was stunning – NBC News
On Trump’s big applause line, the sound of silence was stunning – NBC News

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump told Congress on Tuesday that the economy would crash and no policy work could be done if lawmakers investigate his administration or stand in the way of his plans to withdraw U.S. troops from Afghanistan and Syria.

The lines, delivered early in his State of the Union address, were so clearly designed to draw cheers from his Republican allies that they even included a rhyme scheme.

“An economic miracle is taking place in the United States — and the only thing that can stop it are foolish wars, politics, or ridiculous partisan investigations,” he said, eliciting an ovation from the GOP.

But then, as he asserted himself further on matters of war and the separation of powers, Trump went a bit too far.

“If there is going to be peace and legislation, there cannot be war and investigation,” he said. “It just doesn’t work that way!”

Instead of applause, Trump was met at first with a brief moment of lightly scattered laughter and a few lonely claps — and then came steely silence as the president stood at the podium looking at lawmakers.

Amid Trump’s nearly 5,200 words Tuesday night, that absence of sound spoke loudest. It represented a growing and increasingly fraught disconnect between the president and Congress on two issues that figure to factor prominently in his two-year quest for re-election. And, more broadly, it demonstrated again that the president no longer has the kind of command over GOP foot soldiers in Congress than he once enjoyed.

Just this week, the Senate voted 70-26 on a nonbinding amendment opposing a “precipitous withdrawal” from either Afghanistan or Syria — a reaction to Trump’s plans to bring troops home from both countries — and several Republicans have said they hope the president does not try to execute an end-run around Congress to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.

While Trump promised Tuesday that “I’ll get it built,” Republicans chose not to fund the wall when they controlled the House and Senate in the last Congress.

And on the heels of Trump slamming top intelligence officials whose testimony on Capitol Hill has contradicted his claims about Iran cheating on the nuclear deal from which he withdrew the U.S., the appetite among lawmakers to heed his call to back down on their oversight role seems to be minimal.

Rep. Elijah Cummings, the Maryland Democrat who chairs the House Oversight and Reform Committee, said Tuesday night that Trump is mixed up about Congress’ role.

“The president seems to believe that because Congress must legislate, we should not investigate,” Cummings said in a statement. “Of course, the Constitution requires us to do both. That is exactly how it works.”

For Trump, the withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan and Syria represents the delivery of a campaign promise — and a potentially powerful plank in his re-election platform.

“As a candidate for president, I loudly pledged a new approach,” he said. “Great nations do not fight endless wars.”

That line, which reflects the sentiments of many voters, including many Democrats, drew mild applause in the chamber.

Of Afghanistan, he said, “We do know that after two decades of war, the hour has come to at least try for peace … it’s time.”

In 2016 and again now, Trump has bet that the voting public is at odds with politicians in Washington about continued U.S. engagement in foreign wars. One data point that supports that theory: when the Senate voted this week to announce its opposition to hasty withdrawals, most of the Democrats running for president or considering bids voted against the amendment and, essentially, with Trump.

The amendment was nothing more than a policy statement — it didn’t restrict Trump in any way — but the fact that the Republican-led Senate chose to vote on it demonstrated an increased willingness among GOP lawmakers to make public their disagreements with the president.

Sen. Jeff Merkley of Oregon, one of the Democrats weighing a bid for the presidency, criticized Trump’s methods but not his decision to move toward bringing troops home.

“The president’s decision-making process about troop levels in Afghanistan and Syria has been reckless and wildly inconsistent,” he said after the vote. “But the president’s failure to construct a coherent foreign policy doesn’t mean that the right answer is for U.S. troops to stay deployed overseas with no end in sight.”

The bigger issue for Trump could be the wide-ranging investigations into his administration taking place mostly on the Democratic-led House side of the Capitol — the ones he referenced high in his address.

Some Democrats want to impeach him. But even short of investigations by the House — or special counsel Robert Mueller finding impeachable offenses related to his campaign’s connections to Russia or obstruction of justice — probes into the conduct of executive branch agencies and the White House could hurt his re-election effort.

After two years of a raucous GOP defense of him in the House, the sound of silence Tuesday night was stunning.

(CNN)For months, Elizabeth Warren has struggled to get from under the muddled — and occasionally contradictory — story she has told about her own belief in her Native American heritage, and whether she ever either claimed that background on documents or received any sort of advantage from it.

    If only Trump would do that more often – Washington Examiner
    If only Trump would do that more often – Washington Examiner

    Tuesday night, President Trump stood before a joint session of Congress and touted the economic successes of his term so far. He embraced reasonable conservative positions with broad backing. He pointed out the opposition’s recent excesses on abortion and its frightening drift toward the ruinous ideology of socialism.

    Trump argued for diplomacy and for an end to the wars in which America is currently involved. He did all this with an understated tone and a smile on his face, which has been a rare sight in recent months. The magnanimous image that Trump projected was enough to make Stacey Abrams’ partisan response seem small and factually challenged (“plants are closing, layoffs are looming”) in comparison.

    If Trump could only show this side of himself more often, he’d have a 57 percent approval rating today, instead of 57 percent disapproval. He has his own undisciplined messaging and Twitter habits to blame for his current political situation. But he also showed Tuesday night that he possesses the skills to change the game in his favor. If he can show the sort of restraint and discipline that made his State of the Union speech great, he will drastically advance his cause as he seeks re-election over the next two years.

    Democrats made much of Trump’s work easy. In the last two weeks, they have overtly embraced an objectively horrific position on abortion-until-birth that only 13 percent of the public agrees with. Their party has also been lurching toward socialism at a very inopportune time, even as that failed ideology has brought the nearby nation of Venezuela to its knees. New Democrats in Congress ( two of them in particular) have also embraced and propagated anti-Semitic conspiracy theories, a point that Trump was quick to bring up as well.

    Trump connected all of these dots with ease as he made his case to the public. It might have been the best speech of his presidency so far.

    Trump also made some strong bipartisan points, including his discussion of prison reform and an infrastructure package. And he found the Democrats very easy to co-opt. As the Washington Examiner‘s Becket Adams pointed out, all he had to do was stroke their egos with a nod to the unprecedented number of female legislators elected in 2018 to get them to their feet. This was a small matter, but with this gesture, Trump won an incalculable public relations victory. That’s all it took for Democrats to act like his presidency is legitimate, for a change.

    Trump has about 20 months before he faces the voters once again. If he wants to remain president beyond 2020, he needs to study what he did right Tuesday night and stick with it.

    Why women lawmakers wore white to the State of the Union – New York Post
    Why women lawmakers wore white to the State of the Union – New York Post

    Democratic women lawmakers wore symbolic “suffragette” white to President Trump’s State of the Union Address on Tuesday night — including freshman New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who donned a snow-colored cape.

    The tribute was an effort to honor those who came out to vote in the midterm elections that gave Democrats the House majority, said Florida Rep. Lois Frankel.

    “By wearing suffragette white to #SOTU2019.. we’re sending a message to everyone that voted for @HouseDemocrats & delivered us the majority that we’re working #ForThePeople, promoting the economic security of women & their families!” Frankel tweeted.

    The outfits are also a nod to the suffragette movement of the early 20th century.

    “Nearly 100 years after women earned the right to vote, more than 100 women are serving in Congress,” tweeted Florida Rep. Val Demings. “Tonight the @HouseDemWomen are wearing suffragette white to remind the president that we—and the rights our ancestors fought for—aren’t going anywhere.”

    Photos taken before Tuesday’s presidential address showed white-clad Democratic congresswomen standing hand-in-hand on a staircase.

    “What a wonderful sight this is,” 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton remarked.

    Some Democratic male lawmakers, including Maryland Rep. Steny Hoyer, wore white ribbons in solidarity.

    And Minnesota Rep. Dean Phillips one-upped them by putting on a white suit.

    Taliban ‘not seeking to seize whole Afghanistan’ – BBC News
    Taliban ‘not seeking to seize whole Afghanistan’ – BBC News

    Image caption

    Sher Mohammad Abbas Stanikzai: “Peace is more difficult than war”

    The Taliban official who has led the group’s peace negotiations with the US has told the BBC the insurgents do not want to seize “the whole country by [military] power”.

    “It will not bring peace to Afghanistan,” Sher Mohammad Abbas Stanikzai said.

    However, he said the group would not agree to a ceasefire until foreign forces were withdrawn from Afghanistan.

    UN data shows that the Taliban are responsible for more civilian casualties than any other warring party.

    Mr Stanikzai, who until recently was the head of the Taliban’s political office in Qatar and remains a leading figure in the group, was giving his first interview to the international media while attending a meeting in Moscow with senior Afghan opposition politicians.

    He said the Taliban’s experiences in power in the 1990s, when it faced armed opposition from rival Afghan groups, had led the group to conclude it was preferable to reach a solution by “coming to the table”.

    “Peace is more difficult than war,” Mr Stanikzai added, alluding to the difficulties in reaching a settlement. But he expressed hopes that the conflict could be brought to an end.

    Mr Stanikzai has overseen a series of meetings with the US Special Envoy for Afghanistan Reconciliation, Zalmay Khalilzad, in recent months.

    In January, they reached what Mr Khalilzad termed as a “draft framework” of an agreement.

    It was based on a commitment to withdraw US forces from the country, and a guarantee by the Taliban not to allow international jihadist groups to use Afghanistan as a base in the future.

    Both sides have indicated that a number of issues still need to be resolved. However US President Donald Trump has made clear his desire to bring an end to the 17-year conflict and withdraw at least the vast bulk of American forces.

    Mr Stanikzai told the BBC he believed the Trump administration wanted to “bring peace to Afghanistan.”

    The meeting in Moscow is separate from the US-Taliban peace talks.

    In addition to a Taliban delegation, it was also attended by former Afghan President Hamid Karzai, as well as other high-profile opposition figures.

    Topics of discussions included how the country could be governed in the future, if the Taliban were to become a mainstream political force.

    Mr Stanikzai addressed the meeting in a hotel in Moscow, saying the group did not want “a monopoly of power” – but that Afghanistan’s constitution had been “imported from the West” and was an “obstacle to peace”.

    The Taliban governed Afghanistan in 1996-2001 with an ultra-conservative and often brutal interpretation of Islamic law.

    The group was notorious for its treatment of women, banning most of them to work or go to school.

    However, Mr Stanikzai said “women should not worry” about the prospect of increasing Taliban influence as they would seek to grant women all their “rights according to Islamic rule and Afghan culture”.

    “They can go to school, they can go to universities, they can work,” he added.

    Fawzia Koofi, an Afghan MP and one of only two women present at the Moscow meeting, told the BBC: “It’s a positive step that the Taliban who were using bullets against the people of Afghanistan, especially women, are now using microphone and listening to women’s voices.”

    She said a Taliban member had told her a woman should not be able to become president but could serve in political office.

    “We need to make sure everything they say here, they mean it,” Ms Koofi added.

    The Afghan government were not part of the talks in Moscow.

    President Ashraf Ghani has repeatedly called on the Taliban to begin direct negotiations with his representatives, but so far the group has refused, dismissing them as puppets of the US.

    US negotiators have tried to persuade the Taliban to meet Afghan officials, but Mr Stanikzai remained vague when questioned about the circumstances under which they would ever agree to do so.

    He said that “when the American forces announce the withdrawal of their troops” there could be further “intra-Afghan dialogue”. It could include representatives of the current Afghan government, alongside others, to “select or elect a future government”.

    Officials in Kabul have suggested the discussions in Russia are an attempt by political rivals to undermine the Afghan government, and explore a potential deal with the Taliban without their input.

    Mr Stanikzai said the Taliban had decided in Moscow to meet Afghan political figures who had “manpower” on the ground.

    Speaking to Afghan TV channel TOLOnews, President Ghani said: “Those who have gathered in Moscow have no executive authority. They can say what they want.”

    Despite the talks in Moscow, and a further round of US-Taliban discussions being scheduled for 25 February, violence in Afghanistan continues.

    On Tuesday, Taliban forces reportedly killed dozens of members of the Afghan security forces in a series of attacks in the north of the country.

    On Trump’s big applause line, the sound of silence was stunning – NBC News
    On Trump’s big applause line, the sound of silence was stunning – NBC News

    WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump told Congress on Tuesday that the economy would crash and no policy work could be done if lawmakers investigate his administration or stand in the way of his plans to withdraw U.S. troops from Afghanistan and Syria.

    The lines, delivered early in his State of the Union address, were so clearly designed to draw cheers from his Republican allies that they even included a rhyme scheme.

    “An economic miracle is taking place in the United States — and the only thing that can stop it are foolish wars, politics, or ridiculous partisan investigations,” he said. “If there is going to be peace and legislation, there cannot be war and investigation. It just doesn’t work that way!”

    Instead of applause, Trump was met with steely silence.

    Amid Trump’s nearly 5,200 words Tuesday night, that absence of sound spoke loudest. It represented a growing and increasingly fraught disconnect between the president and Congress on two issues that figure to factor prominently in his two-year quest for re-election. And, more broadly, it demonstrated again that the president no longer has the kind of command over GOP foot soldiers in Congress than he once enjoyed.

    Just this week, the Senate voted 70-26 on a nonbinding amendment opposing a “precipitous withdrawal” from either Afghanistan or Syria — a reaction to Trump’s plans to bring troops home from both countries — and several Republicans have said they hope the president does not try to execute an end-run around Congress to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.

    While Trump promised Tuesday that “I’ll get it built,” Republicans chose not to fund the wall when they controlled the House and Senate in the last Congress.

    And on the heels of Trump slamming top intelligence officials whose testimony on Capitol Hill has contradicted his claims about Iran cheating on the nuclear deal from which he withdrew the U.S., the appetite among lawmakers to heed his call to back down on their oversight role seems to be minimal.

    Rep. Elijah Cummings, the Maryland Democrat who chairs the House Oversight and Reform Committee, said Tuesday night that Trump is mixed up about Congress’ role.

    “The president seems to believe that because Congress must legislate, we should not investigate,” Cummings said in a statement. “Of course, the Constitution requires us to do both. That is exactly how it works.”

    For Trump, the withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan and Syria represents the delivery of a campaign promise — and a potentially powerful plank in his re-election platform.

    “As a candidate for president, I loudly pledged a new approach,” he said. “Great nations do not fight endless wars.”

    That line, which reflects the sentiments of many voters, including many Democrats, drew mild applause in the chamber.

    Of Afghanistan, he said, “We do know that after two decades of war, the hour has come to at least try for peace … it’s time.”

    In 2016 and again now, Trump has bet that the voting public is at odds with politicians in Washington about continued U.S. engagement in foreign wars. One data point that supports that theory: when the Senate voted this week to announce its opposition to hasty withdrawals, most of the Democrats running for president or considering bids voted against the amendment and, essentially, with Trump.

    The amendment was nothing more than a policy statement — it didn’t restrict Trump in any way — but the fact that the Republican-led Senate chose to vote on it demonstrated an increased willingness among GOP lawmakers to make public their disagreements with the president.

    Sen. Jeff Merkley of Oregon, one of the Democrats weighing a bid for the presidency, criticized Trump’s methods but not his decision to move toward bringing troops home.

    “The president’s decision-making process about troop levels in Afghanistan and Syria has been reckless and wildly inconsistent,” he said after the vote. “But the president’s failure to construct a coherent foreign policy doesn’t mean that the right answer is for U.S. troops to stay deployed overseas with no end in sight.”

    The bigger issue for Trump could be the wide-ranging investigations into his administration taking place mostly on the Democratic-led House side of the Capitol — the ones he referenced high in his address.

    Some Democrats want to impeach him. But even short of investigations by the House — or special counsel Robert Mueller finding impeachable offenses related to his campaign’s connections to Russia or obstruction of justice — probes into the conduct of executive branch agencies and the White House could hurt his re-election effort.

    After two years of a raucous GOP defense of him in the House, the sound of silence Tuesday night was stunning.

    February 6 at 5:45 AM

    Robert Barnes has been a reporter and editor at The Washington Post for more than 30 years. For the past 12, he has covered the Supreme Court.

    This week he experienced something he says was a first in his career: a storm of commentators, many anonymous, swarming his social media accounts and email inbox to tell him that something he saw with his own eyes and reported in The Post did not actually happen: Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, alive and well, attending a performance about her life at a museum in Washington — her first public appearance since she underwent cancer surgery in December.

    A falsehood has been spreading in dark corners of the Internet that Ginsburg is dead — and in the hours after Barnes published his report, conspiracy theorists pelted him with their doubt-mongering. Photos were not allowed at the event, so one of the doubters emailed Barnes 21 questions about Ginsburg’s appearance — the size of her security detail, what gender they were, for example — telling Barnes that if he did not answer every single one of them, it would be a sign his article was not to be believed.

    Ginsburg did not attend the State of the Union on Tuesday night. Neither did Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel A. Alito Jr., Sonia Sotomayor or Stephen G. Breyer, but the conspiracy theory that Ginsburg is dead may draw more oxygen from the 85-year-old justice’s absence.

    Conspiracy theories about political figures are not new, but social media and other digital tools that allow for and, at times, encourage their wide dissemination have given them new prominence in the Trump era. Though it is impossible to know how large these groups are, the disruption they cause far exceeds their size, in part because of the visibility that social media algorithms lends to assertions that fire people up, regardless of the veracity of those claims.

    But there is often more to these movements than is first apparent.

    [The world’s oldest person record stood for decades. Then came a Russian conspiracy theory.]

    QAnon, the shorthand for a tale that fantasizes about a vast “deep-state” conspiracy aimed at thwarting President Trump, was presented as an organic movement when it burst into mainstream consciousness over the summer. But reporting later showed that some of the main groups that had spread it were profiting from the attention it helped bring to them.

    The Pizzagate conspiracy theory spread through the fringes of right-wing Internet culture to Twitter, where it was amplified by people with huge followings — and also, as it turns out, Russian bots. And the conversation after major news events, such as the Parkland shooting in Florida last year, is routinely distorted by complex processes that lend themselves to gaming and manipulation, experts say, though specific actors and motivations can be hard to discern immediately. They include spurious accounts, trending hashtags supported by bot networks, and opaque algorithms that highlight buzzy content and commentary — no matter what the facts are.

    Two anonymous Twitter accounts were behind the edited snippet of video about an encounter between a group of Catholic high school boys and a Native American activist that went viral, for example. One of the accounts was later booted from Twitter after the service said it was manipulating the conversation.

    In Ginsburg’s case, questions about her health began to spread around the time she missed the court’s first case, Jan. 7, as she was recovering from surgery she had on Dec. 21. It appears to have originated on the message boards that house the QAnon theory. An anonymous but influential account posted a stew of doubt-mongering, wondering about Ginsburg’s “real medical diagnosis” and wondering what kind of “off-market drugs” were sustaining her.

    “The clock is ticking,” the commenter wrote. “PANIC IN DC.”

    There was no panic in D.C.

    The mini empire of amplifiers, profiteers and fame seekers benefiting from QAnon’s small but passionate audience went to work. Soon, videos questioning the official line on Ginsburg’s health were the top search results for the justice’s name on YouTube. An online petition to impeach her failed to meet a 5,000 signature goal.

    But its real boost came when a couple of right-wing personalities with large social media followings engaged it. Ben Garrison, a prominent pro-Trump cartoonist, tweeted about Ginsburg’s whereabouts, musing on his blog about whether liberals would ever keep her death “a secret,” so Trump couldn’t fill the seat with a conservative.

    The Fox News show “Fox & Friends” briefly aired a graphic indicating that Ginsburg had died, then quickly apologized. James Woods, an actor who is a mainstay of the conspiracy-laden parts of the pro-Trump Internet, helped get the hashtag #WheresRuth trending on Twitter on Jan. 28. Two days later, Sebastian Gorka — a former adviser of President Trump’s — tweeted “Still no sign” to his 700,000 followers, noting the State of the Union was about a week away.

    And then the theory started to draw mainstream coverage — another way that conspiracy theories spread, even when they are properly fact-checked, debunked and contextualized, experts say. And the Twitter hoaxes continued. An anonymous account shared an old photo of the presidential hearse carrying Ronald Reagan’s body past the U.S. Capitol, writing “Prominent DC Funeral Home vehicle seen leaving the Ginsberg estate . . . what’s going on?”

    [How a star chef’s angry MAGA-hat tweet triggered a storm of misleading news]

    The conspiracy theory lives on in the algorithms.

    YouTube is still recommending “RGB dead” as one of its autofill searches. Twitter’s autofill recommendations for “RBG” have an even wider selection: “#RBGWhereYouBe,” “#RGBProofOfLife” and “RBG dead.”

    If hoaxers were seeking attention for the theory, they certainly have succeeded. Targeting reporters such as Barnes who have wide followings online is a good way to start. Other reporters who saw Ginsburg on Monday night at the performance were hit with the same flood of replies and emails.

    After the Parkland shooting, Whitney Phillips, a Mercer University professor who studies online culture, told The Post that conspiracy theorists and hoax spreaders are “really good at seeding a story with an establishment outlet so they can bring that prize back to those far-right circles.”

    People know that journalists are on Twitter, searching for news and story ideas. It is considered a victory when those fringe conspiracies are amplified into the mainstream by a reporter who is trying to debunk them. After the QAnon theory went viral, for instance, conspiracy theorists were delighted by the mainstream attention.

    The Supreme Court has been the target of conspiracy theories before. After Justice Antonin Scalia died suddenly at a Texas ranch in 2016, conspiracy theories swirled about the nature of his death, and whether he was murdered as a political hit. The theories, which have no grounding in evidence, live on today.

    The Supreme Court doesn’t have another public session until Feb. 19, Barnes said, noting that specialists said there’s a six- to eight-week recovery typically expected for the procedure Ginsburg had undergone.

    “It seems logical that she would be back for it,” he said.

    Barnes said he is less offended by the suggestion that he was fooled by a body double than that he made up Ginsburg’s appearance Tuesday night.

    “Feeling grateful for tweeters who say I, and many others, saw RBG body-double, as opposed to those who think I lied,” he wrote on Twitter. “They won’t be happy if she skips speech tonight, as she has Trump’s first 2. Thomas and Alito not likely either, but, I swear, also alive.”

    Meet the Republicans who have suddenly discovered that racism is bad – ThinkProgress
    Meet the Republicans who have suddenly discovered that racism is bad – ThinkProgress

    Virginia and national Republicans have joined the bipartisan chorus demanding the resignation of Virginia’s Democratic governor. But many of the same people now decrying his racist behavior have done little to nothing to impede racists in their own party or to fight against legal discrimination.

    Since the news broke Friday that an image of two people, one in blackface and one dressed as a Ku Klux Klansman appeared on Gov. Ralph Northam’s (D-VA) medical school yearbook page, condemnations from Virginia and national politicians and activists have been swift.

    Northam first apologized for appearing in the racist photo, then denied having been in the photo at all, and then acknowledged that he had appeared in blackface around the same time elsewhere — but this has done little to quell the nearly universal calls from Democrats and Republicans alike for him to resign from office.

    But as the push for Northam’s resignation quickly spread, several progressives online began pointing out the double standard. Many noted that few of the same folks have called for the resignation of white supremacist Rep. Steve King (R-IA) or spoken out against racist President Donald Trump as he defended white nationalists, pushed for a Muslim ban, demonized Mexican immigrants, and made voter suppression a priority for his administration. Reminders that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and House Republican Minority Whip Steve Scalise (R) also appeared with racist organizations went viral. And others noted the irony that the Virginia Republican Party nominated racist George Allen for Senate in 2006 and 2012 and pro-Confederate Corey Stewart for U.S. Senate just last year.

    In addition to the heads of the Republican National Committee and Republican Party of Virginia demanding Northam step down and Trump himself calling Northam’s actions “unforgivable,” numerous other prominent Republicans have selectively criticized Northam but done little else about racism in their party and public policy. They include:

    Rep. Rob Wittman (R-VA)

    The senior Republican in Virginia’s Congressional delegation, condemned Northam and said the state needs a leader who can move “who is moving us forward, not backward.” But he has not demanded the resignation of King, endorsed Corey Stewart in 2018, and declined to co-sponsor the Voting Rights Advancement Act in the last Congress.

    Rep. Ben Cline (R-VA)

    The first term Republican congressman was a long-time member of the Virginia House of Delegates prior to January. In that time, he voted for Virginia’s strict voter ID law and campaigned alongside Corey Stewart. He condemned the “racist behavior depicted in the photos” and urged Northam to “make the best decision for the future of our Commonwealth and step down immediately.”

    Virginia House and Senate GOP leaders

    Virginia State Senate Majority Leader Tommy Norment, Speaker of the House of Delegates Kirk Cox, House Majority Leader Todd Gilbert, House Majority Whip Nick Rush, and House Republican Caucus Chair Tim Hugo all demanded the governor resign.  The House leaders said that Northam’s “ability to lead and govern is permanently impaired and the interests of the Commonwealth necessitate his resignation.”

    Each one also voted for strict photo ID laws. Norment even sued former Gov. Terry McAuliffe (D) to stop his voter re-enfranchisement plan and offered a constitutional amendment to permanently ban people committed of violent felonies from ever regaining the right to vote.

    Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX)

    Cruz tweeted that “anybody who voluntarily chooses to celebrate the evil & bigoted KKK is unfit for public office.” But since running against Trump for president in 2016, Cruz has been one of his most enthusiastic supporters and has not criticized his racist behavior. After Steve King’s latest round of white nationalist comments emerged last month, Cruz called them “stupid” but refused to even say that he would not back his longtime political ally in the future. Cruz has not supported the Voting Rights Advancement Act, backs strict voter ID laws, and supported a repeal of the Voting Rights Act’s pre-clearance provisions.

    Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL)

    The new senator from Florida demanded Northam resign after seeing his “horrible” yearbook picture. But over his two terms as governor, Scott was noted by the Palm Beach Post for rejecting almost all civil rights restoration requests by people with felony convictions in Florida — unless the applicants were white. He also spent much of his tenure fighting to illegally purge voters from the rolls based on a list so error-riddled that even Republican elections supervisors refused to carry out his scheme. Scott defended then-gubernatorial candidate Ron DeSantis (R) last summer following his racist comments about the Democratic nominee who is black, saying, “I know he didn’t mean any ill will.”

    House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) 

    McCarthy tweeted that after his “past racist behavior,” Northam’s “[s]taying in office only poisons efforts to grow together as one nation.” McCarthy has strongly backed Trump and has not backed the Voting Rights Advancement Act — nor did he take any action during his four-plus years as House Majority Leader to bring a voting rights legislation up for consideration. While he stripped King of committee assignments, McCarthy pointedly refused to call for his resignation, saying that should be left up to him.

    Rep. Larry Bucshon (R-IN)

    Bucshon opined that Northam “should resign” because there is “no place in our society for racism in any form.” But he has not made similar demands of King or Trump and has not co-sponsored the Voting Rights Advancement Act. 

    Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL)

    Gaetz has repeatedly tweeted mocking Northam about his racist yearbook and his subsequent denials with comments like, “No way America buys that it was two random people on #RalphNortham’s yearbook page right?”

    Gaetz is a fierce Trump defender who actually thanked him for his comments after the deadly white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia in 2017. At the time, Trump blamed the violence on “both sides.” Gatez has also not called for King to resign and has not backed the Voting Rights Advancement Act.

    Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) 

    Stefanik tweeted, “Virginians deserve a new Governor. Ralph Northam should resign.” But she has not called for King to resign, has not backed the Voting Rights Advancement Act, and drew criticism for her initial response to Charlottesville which initially simply condemned “hatred and bigotry.”

    Rep. Mark Walker (R-NC)

    Walker tweeted: “If you don a mask or a hood of racism and hatred you have no business in our public discourse. Governor Northam needs to step aside.” But he has not made the same demand of King, saying only, “Republicans as a whole have tried to respect the voters’ wishes, specifically in Iowa in this case. Even though we’ve had some things we’ve gone on record and publicly disagreed with Mr. King on, I think it’s reached a place that any time — it’s kind of like a football team. . . . If it begins to impact the team in a negative way, then you have a team meeting and say we’ve got to work on this.” Though he has made much of his occasional efforts to boost GOP outreach to black voters, he has not co-sponsored the Voting Rights Advancement Act. 

    Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-NY)

    Zeldin tweeted that Northam was “guilty of lying with a straight face” about his yearbook and urged him to go to church on Sunday and resign on Monday.  But he has not backed the Voting Rights Advancement Act, has not called on King to resign, and actually defended Trump’s “both sides” reaction to Charlottesville, saying, “I would add though that it is not right to suggest that President Trump is wrong for acknowledging the fact that criminals on both sides showed up for the purpose of being violent. That particular observation is completely true.” Zeldin also hosted a 2018 fundraising event featuring Sebastian Gorka (the former Trump aide with ties to a Hungarian Nazi party) and Steve Bannon (Trump’s former chief strategist and former head of a white-nationalist-tied Breitbart website).

    The speech was one of the longest on record, at more than 80 minutes. Trump hit on a variety of topics, including criminal justice, drug prices, trade, infrastructure, healthcare, national security, curing childhood cancer and ending AIDS in America. Yet no theme seemed to bind the issues, and most of what he said was familiar, devoid of new policy details.

    Trump’s State of the Union nailed the border wall and immigration in just 4 sentences – Washington Examiner
    Trump’s State of the Union nailed the border wall and immigration in just 4 sentences – Washington Examiner

    President Trump on Tuesday dedicated a large portion of his State of the Union address to the immigration issue. It was all good, but there were four sentences that drove home the message that matters the most, and an argument that Democrats will never be able to refute (should reporters confront them with it).

    Trump said:

    In the past, most of the people in this room voted for a wall — but the proper wall never got built. I will get it built.

    This is a smart, strategic, see-through steel barrier — not just a simple concrete wall. It will be deployed in the areas identified by the border agents as having the greatest need, and these agents will tell you: where walls go up, illegal crossings go way, way down.

    This covers everything the border barrier stands for, and Trump has never laid it out so succinctly. It’s the message I’ve been begging for, ever since my trip to the Rio Grande Valley sector of the Texas border, where there are more illegal crossings than any other sector.

    Democrats may not listen, but at least all of America knows now the purpose of the border ” wall.”

    Stacey Abrams SOTU response role comes with guaranteed privilege, hero status – Washington Examiner
    Stacey Abrams SOTU response role comes with guaranteed privilege, hero status – Washington Examiner

    Stacey Abrams hit the jackpot when she was picked to deliver the Democrats’ response to President Trump’s State of the Union Address: She’s a female minority who can’t be held politically accountable for anything because she doesn’t hold any office.

    ABC News on Monday ran the headline, “For Democrats, Stacey Abrams sends key message on gender and race in [State of the Union] response.”

    A news article in the New York Times that same day featured a bunch of Democrats who want Abrams to run for U.S. Senate (because in today’s Democratic Party, nothing positions you for national office like a failed campaign in the style of Beto O’Rourke).

    There is no other person on the national scene who enjoys more privilege among the national press than Abrams, who lost her bid for Georgia governor last year and refused to accept the result long after the writing was already on the wall. Her delivery of the response will fit the Trump-hates-women-and-minorities narrative that Democrats and the news media run day in and out.

    Even if she botches the response on Tuesday, Abrams will still be a hero for having taken on white male Trump. That’s because she can expect the national media to frame the conflict as an epic battle between white and black, privilege and victim.

    In November last year, Trump engaged several black reporters who confronted him with critical questions by doing what he does with literally any reporter of any race — he lashed out. He called American Urban Radio Networks and CNN contributor April Ryan a “loser” who “doesn’t know what the hell she’s doing.” He told CNN correspondent Abby Phillip that she asks “a lot of stupid questions.” And he accused PBS reporter Yamiche Alcindor of asking a “racist” question.

    All of those women are black, and the rest of the media would never let you forget it. Never mind that Trump behaves this way with anyone in the media he deems disrespectful.

    CNN’s Jim Acosta, who is Cuban, had his White House credential stripped, and Trump called him “rude” and “terrible.”

    NBC’s Peter Alexander is white and Trump told him, “I’m not a big fan of yours, either.”

    The Washington Post’s George Will is white and Trump has said he “looks like a dumb guy.”

    The entire 2016 Republican primary field of candidates, almost all white men, were picked off one by one as Trump ruthlessly mocked their appearances and personalities.

    Right after taking office, Trump belittled white male Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-Calif., for crying on TV, giving him the nickname “Cryin’ Chuck Schumer.”

    There was little sympathy for any of these victims of Trump’s ire from liberals and the press. But after Abrams gets her time on national TV, she’ll become an exceptional victim for the media to hold up as an example of Trump’s “bigotry.”
