Trump Vows to Close Border, Even if It Hurts the Economy – The New York Times
Trump Vows to Close Border, Even if It Hurts the Economy – The New York Times

Border activity makes up a relatively larger share of Mexico’s economy than the United States’, meaning Mexico would most likely have more economic damage from a border closing, Mr. Zandi said.

But that does not mean the United States would be in a winning position. Communities across the country would probably see supply chain disruptions, product shortages, seizures in stock and bond markets and a plunge in already-fragile business confidence, Mr. Zandi said. The disruption would be especially sharp in the border states of California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas, which all have Mexico as their No. 1 export market.

Any closure could have far-ranging implications for a wide range of industries — including automotive, electronics and apparel — that source small components and deliver their products on a just-in-time basis on both sides of the border.

It could also be devastating for the agriculture industry. Since the North American Free Trade Agreement began in 1994, American farmers have moved toward specializing in corn, soybeans, chicken, dairy, pork and beef to supply to Mexico, while Mexican farmers have specialized in fresh fruits and vegetables to send to the United States. Any delays in deliveries of these products could lead to near immediate price hikes and empty supermarket shelves, which would hit low-income Mexicans and Americans the hardest.

Christin Fernandez, the vice president for communications at the Retail Industry Leaders Association, said that slowing or halting screenings at major ports near the border would lead to product delays and potentially higher shipping costs.

“The entire retail ecosystem is sustained on the expectation that America’s retailers can provide consumers with the goods they want and need, when they need it, at the best possible prices,” Ms. Fernandez said. “If our suppliers are feeling the pain, retailers will feel the pain, and, ultimately, it is consumers that will bear the burden.”

Stock markets do not appear to be pricing in any risk of a border closure. The S&P 500 was essentially unchanged on Tuesday, and it remains near a six-month high.

Trump fails his duty by backtracking on healthcare – Washington Examiner
Trump fails his duty by backtracking on healthcare – Washington Examiner

Just days after President Trump said the White House finally is crafting an Obamacare replacement of its own, he backtracked on Tuesday. There will be no vote this Congress on any major healthcare reform. His backtracking came after panicky congressional Republicans begged him not to push healthcare as a major issue in the next two years.

Apparently, the legislators think that any time Republicans focus on healthcare, they will lose elections. This is nonsense. Republicans lose on healthcare when they cede the field to Democrats, as they did in 2018. When Republicans actively take the fight to liberals on the subject, as they did during the heady days of the Tea Party movement, they gain ground.

More than that, the purpose of electing a president and Congress is to have them govern. Even if it’s a long shot to pass anything decent, it behooves elected leaders to, well, lead on big issues such as this one by putting forward thoughtful proposals. This is especially so for a president who has the “bully pulpit” to try to educate voters and build support for his plan.

That’s why I praised Trump for his vow last week to make healthcare reform a priority. But now the White House is giving conflicting signals about whether it will even produce legislation to replace Obamacare, much less try to secure votes on it.

This is a failure of leadership. No matter what congressional nervous Nellies say, it’s also politically stupid. If Republicans aren’t out there with a plan, and with clear, concise sales pitches for why it will help most Americans, then the only thing voters will hear is Democrats scaring them about how those mean, awful Republicans want to pinch pennies so that a granny dies from every minor cold.

Democrats will push that message regardless, as they did in 2018. And so Republicans need their own positive message to counteract it, which they lacked in 2018.

Again, though, politics aside, America can and should have a better, less costly, less bureaucratic healthcare system. If Trump isn’t even going to try to provide it in the next two years, then what’s the point of his presidency?

Alyssa Milano’s ‘I believe’ Kavanaugh accuser becomes ‘we can’t assume’ Biden guilt – Washington Examiner
Alyssa Milano’s ‘I believe’ Kavanaugh accuser becomes ‘we can’t assume’ Biden guilt – Washington Examiner

Actress Alyssa Milano said Monday that she stands behind former Vice President Joe Biden in response to allegations that he kissed a Nevada politician without her consent in 2014.

Milano, 46, is a staunch #MeToo activist who last year attended the Senate hearing on Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh in support of his accuser Christine Blasey Ford. She said she opposed his nomination because of unsubstantiated accusations that Kavanaugh sexually assaulted Ford in high school. She live-tweeted from inside the proceeding, letting her three million-plus followers know: “I believe Dr. Christine Blasey Ford.”

This time, with Biden facing an accusation from Nevada politician Lucy Flores, Milano was more equivocal. “I respect Lucy Flores’ decision to share her story and agree with Biden that we all must pay attention to it. But, just as we must believe women that decide to come forward, we cannot assume all women’s experiences are the same,” she said in a string of tweets.

[ Also read: Lucy Flores: ‘Of course I would support Biden’ over Trump]

“I am proud to call Joe Biden a friend. He has been a leader and a champion on fighting violence against women for many years, and I have been fortunate to accompany him to events with survivors where he has listened to their stories, empathized with them, and comforted them,” she wrote “… I believe that Joe Biden’s intent has never been to make anyone uncomfortable, and that his kind, empathetic leadership is what our country needs.”

She wrote an op-ed for CNN last year that began with, “If professor Christine Blasey Ford is to be believed, and I believe she is, Brett Kavanaugh is a sexual predator.”

Biden, 76, was accused last week of planting a “big slow kiss” on the back of Flores’ head without her permission during a rally in 2014. On Monday a second accuser came forward and alleged that Biden touched her inappropriately at fundraiser in 2009.

The former vice president is widely expected to launch a bid for the Democratic nomination for president soon.

‘Asian female’ with malware arrested at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago – BBC News
‘Asian female’ with malware arrested at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago – BBC News
Media captionMar-a-Lago is a private members club as well as the Trump family’s winter getaway.

A woman carrying two Chinese passports and a device with computer malware allegedly lied to enter US President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club.

The woman, Yujing Zhang, 32, told security she was at the Florida club to go to the pool, according to a criminal complaint filed in US District Court.

“Due to a potential language barrier issue,” staff believed she was related to a club member and let her in.

Mr Trump was in Palm Beach at the time of the incident on Saturday 30 March.

Mr Trump is known to make frequent trips to his Palm Beach property

Ms Zhang – who was described in the affidavit as an “Asian female” – is charged with making false statements to a federal officer and illegally entering a restricted area.

According to the court documents, upon entry to the club Ms Zhang changed her story, telling a front-desk receptionist she was there to attend a “United Nations Chinese American Association” event.

The receptionist, who knew that such event had been scheduled, became suspicious of Ms Zhang.

The suspect was transported off the property for further questioning.

She told agents she had been instructed by a friend, identified only as “Charles”, to travel from Shanghai, China, to Palm Beach to attend the purported United Nations event, but did not provide any more details, according to court documents.

She said “Charles” had encouraged her to attempt to speak to a member of the president’s family about Chinese-American economic relations, said the affidavit.

Secret service agent Samuel Ivanovich said Ms Zhang carried four mobile phones, a laptop, an external hard drive and a thumb drive containing a computer virus, but no swim suit.

In the court document, Mr Ivanovich notes that Ms Zhang “freely and without difficulty conversed” in English, becoming “verbally aggressive” with authorities as the investigation progressed.

Her lawyer has so far declined comment.

Ms Zhang will remain in custody until a hearing next week.

If convicted, she could face a maximum of five years in prison.

Explainer: Can Democratic subpoenas force the release of Mueller’s Trump-Russia report? – Reuters
Explainer: Can Democratic subpoenas force the release of Mueller’s Trump-Russia report? – Reuters

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Democrats in the House of Representatives are gearing up to issue subpoenas to try to obtain Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s full report on Russia’s role in the 2016 U.S. election and President Donald Trump’s actions related to the inquiry.

The question is: how successful will they be?

Attorney General William Barr, who has broad authority under Justice Department regulations to decide how much of Mueller’s report to release, sent lawmakers a four-page letter on March 24 explaining Mueller’s “principal conclusions” and has promised to release the nearly 400-page report by the middle of this month, with some parts blacked out, or “redacted.”

That has not satisfied Democrats, who control the House. The House Judiciary Committee is scheduled to vote on Wednesday to authorize a subpoena to compel the Justice Department to hand over the complete report, without redactions, as well as underlying evidence.

Here is an explanation of the legal hurdles Democrats must clear in their subpoena effort, important judicial precedents and Barr’s rationale for keeping parts of the report confidential.

CAN CONGRESS SUBPOENA DOCUMENTS FROM THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH?

Yes. Committees of the House and Senate possess the power to issues subpoenas for documents held by the executive branch or other subjects in investigations. Under the U.S. Constitution, Congress is a co-equal branch of the federal government alongside the executive branch and judiciary.

If Barr refuses to comply with a Judiciary Committee subpoena to obtain the full report and underlying investigative material, the House could vote to hold him “in contempt” and turn to the courts to enforce the subpoena. Legal experts said that process could take years.

Barr’s “principal conclusions” letter said Mueller’s inquiry did not establish that Trump’s campaign team conspired with Russia. Barr also said Mueller did not reach a conclusion on whether the Republican president committed obstruction of justice but also did not exonerate him. Barr subsequently concluded that Trump had not engaged in criminal obstruction.

The letter provided scant details of the findings, though Trump immediately claimed “complete and total exoneration.” The Mueller investigation has cast a cloud over Trump’s presidency. House Democrats have launched a series of investigations into Trump, who is seeking re-election in 2020.

A situation analogous to the current subpoena fight unfolded during the presidency of Trump’s Democratic predecessor Barack Obama. In 2012, the House, then controlled by Republicans, subpoenaed internal Justice Department documents related to a failed federal law enforcement operation to track illegal gun sales, dubbed “Fast and Furious.” Obama’s attorney general, Eric Holder, refused to comply. The House voted to hold him in contempt, marking the first time in U.S. history that Congress took such action against a sitting member of a president’s Cabinet.

The Justice Department later turned over thousands of pages of documents but the matter was not resolved until after Obama left office, with a settlement reached in 2018.

WHY DID BARR NOT SIMPLY RELEASE THE WHOLE REPORT?

Barr told lawmakers in a March 29 letter that he was making “redactions that are required” before releasing the Mueller report. He cited four reasons for redactions: protecting secret grand jury proceedings; safeguarding intelligence-gathering sources and methods; shielding material that could affect ongoing investigations; and protecting information that would unduly infringe on personal privacy and reputations.

Grand juries are groups of citizens who meet in secret and decide whether to authorize criminal indictments or demands for evidence sought by prosecutors. U.S. law generally requires that information obtained from grand jury proceedings be kept secret, though there are exceptions that let Congress, and even the general public, see it.

Barr also could redact information by citing a legal doctrine called executive privilege, which allows the president to withhold information about internal executive branch deliberations from other branches of government.

WHAT LAWS AND HISTORICAL PRECEDENTS APPLY?

Federal law and judicial precedent could play a role in the subpoena fight.

Under U.S. law, grand jury testimony generally must be kept secret. But if a grand jury matter involves “grave hostile acts of a foreign power” or other intelligence information, the information can be shared with appropriate government officials. The law also lets a judge release grand jury information when strong public interest is at stake.

A 1974 court decision involving Republican President Richard Nixon gives Democrats strong ammunition to argue that they are entitled to any grand jury information redacted by Barr. Leon Jaworski, a special prosecutor during the Watergate scandal, produced a report that relied on evidence from grand jury proceedings.

H.R. Haldeman, who had served Nixon as White House chief of staff, sought to block that information from Congress, citing the same grand jury secrecy provision mentioned by Barr. The dispute ended up before a panel of federal appeals court judges in Washington, which ruled 5-1 against Haldeman. The court said Congress clearly needed the material to conduct an effective impeachment investigation, and noted that the Democratic-led House Judiciary committee had taken “elaborate precautions to insure against unnecessary and inappropriate disclosure of these materials.” The committee approved articles of impeachment against Nixon as Congress began the process of trying to remove him from office. Nixon resigned before the full House could vote on impeachment.

If Barr were to cite executive privilege in redacting material, a 1974 Supreme Court ruling could come into play. Nixon withheld tape recordings and other material subpoenaed by Jaworski, citing executive privilege. The high court then ordered him to give the material to a federal district court, saying the president’s interest in keeping his communications secret was outweighed by the judiciary’s need for evidence.

Trump’s Obamacare problem: Republicans have already fooled the people too many times – Washington Examiner
Trump’s Obamacare problem: Republicans have already fooled the people too many times – Washington Examiner

President Trump has indicated that he wants to make replacing Obamacare a key issue in the 2020 campaign, with a vote on a new plan to be held following the election, assuming Republicans take back full control of Washington. The problem: Republicans have already fooled voters with that message too many times.

Whatever your preferred adage, Abraham Lincoln‘s about not being able to fool all the people all the time or the “fool me twice” warning, recent political history will provide a significant obstacle to any attempt by Trump or Republicans to run on replacing Obamacare.

Republicans ran on repealing and replacing Obamacare in 2010, 2012, 2014, and 2016. Yet, they kept moving the goalposts as they accumulated power. When Republicans took over the House in 2010, they said nothing could be done without also controlling the Senate. When they gained control of the Senate in 2014, they said they couldn’t do anything until they also had the White House. Yet, even when they entered 2017 with unified control of Washington, they failed to deliver.

At the time, I called it the biggest broken promise in political history. Try to think of another example of a pledge to voters made in four consecutive election cycles, and not just by a few candidates — by an entire party, including those seeking office at the federal, state, and local level.

The reason why Republicans failed is, at its core, the same reason I have been shouting about since 2008: They don’t care about the details of healthcare policy enough to resolve their differences and unify around any given plan. The only times Republicans can unify is in opposition to Democratic proposals to expand the role of government when they are out of power. This was the case in 1993 and 1994 when they fought the Clinton administration’s push for national healthcare, and then again with Obamacare.

Republicans will be able to score points in 2020 by running against efforts to impose a socialist health insurance scheme on the United States, which is currently being branded as “Medicare for all.” They might also be able to make some headway if they have specific plans to address specific concerns about Obamacare. For instance, they can explain in real terms how Obamacare’s regulations drive up premiums and restrict choice, and how they could address those concerns with specific policy changes.

But if Trump and Republicans insist again of speaking vaguely about getting rid of Obamacare and replacing it with some mythical great plan, they will face a skeptical public that isn’t likely to be fooled again.

Biden’s Tactile Politics Threaten His Return in the #MeToo Era – The New York Times
Biden’s Tactile Politics Threaten His Return in the #MeToo Era – The New York Times

“It was his empathy and encouragement more than that of any of my colleagues, that gave me strength to meet each day,” Ms. Carnahan wrote. “And, yes, I sometimes, got a shoulder pat or even a head kiss. Joe has a deep desire to share in the lives of others — their grief, pain, and joy. He reaches out through the human touch to connect and express those feelings.”

Meghan McCain expressed similar sentiments, writing on Twitter: “Joe Biden is one of the truly decent and compassionate men in all of American politics. He has helped me through my fathers diagnosis, treatment and ultimate passing more than anyone of my fathers friends combined. I wish there was more empathy from our politicians not less.”

But touching someone you know is one thing; touching complete strangers, as Mr. Biden often does, is another. Even so, former Biden aides said it never came up as an issue, and no one dissuaded him from the behavior. And it was hardly a secret.

“This is stuff mostly that he’s done in front of everybody,” said David Axelrod, who was a senior adviser to President Barack Obama while Mr. Biden was vice president. “I’m sure his intent was benign, but through the lens of today, it looks like something different.”

There may also be a generational component to that lens. The controversy around Mr. Biden erupted over the weekend when Lucy Flores, a former candidate for lieutenant governor of Nevada, described how Mr. Biden placed his hands on her shoulders, leaned in to smell her hair and “proceeded to plant a big, slow kiss on the back of my head” before she went onstage at a campaign rally.

Ms. Flores was 35 at the time. “It was completely inappropriate,” she said Sunday on CNN.

But Diane Denish, 70, who served as lieutenant governor of New Mexico from 2003 through 2010, said she had “exactly the same experience” with Mr. Biden and “had a completely different reaction to it.”

As they were getting ready to go onstage at a campaign event, Ms. Denish said, Mr. Biden “just put his hands on my shoulders and leaned back and said, ‘Go get ‘em,’ a little peck on the head. I paid so little attention to it, but I’m of a different generation than Lucy Flores.”

White House looks to minimize economic impact of Trump’s threatened closure of Mexico border – The Washington Post
White House looks to minimize economic impact of Trump’s threatened closure of Mexico border – The Washington Post

Senior White House officials are looking at ways to exempt commercial trade from President Trump’s threat to shut down the U.S. border with Mexico, three people briefed on the discussions said, amid warnings that blocking the flow of goods between the two countries would have severe consequences for the U.S. economy.

White House officials have not settled on a firm plan, but they are responding to widespread complaints from business groups that closing the border would be a major blow to industries such as agriculture and automakers. Trump has also been briefed on thethe economic consequences by top advisers, National Economic Council Director Larry Kudlow and Kevin Hassett, head of Trump’s Council of Economic Advisers.

“We’re watching it and looking for ways to allow the freight passage. Some people call it truck roads,” Kudlow said in an interview with CNBC. “And there are ways you can do that, which would ameliorate the breakdown in supply chains.”

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) has also expressed concerns that shutting down the border would hurt the economy, according to an adviser who requested anonymity to describe private discussions.

“Closing down the border would have a potentially catastrophic economic impact on our country, and I would hope that we would not be doing that sort of thing,” McConnell told reporters Tuesday.

Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) said shutting down the border could cost the U.S. economy $1 billion or $2 billion each day.

Trump has threatened to close the border with Mexico as soon as this week due to the recent surge in migrants coming to the United States from Central America, although he has mused about the possibility of closing down the border for months. The president said on Tuesday that he is more focused on security concerns than the impact closing the border would have on the U.S. economy.

“Security is more important to me than trade,” Trump told reporters.

Trump has also been told by some advisers that it would be extremely difficult to operationally shut down the border but he has told them to move forward with looking at ways to achieve the feat.

Despite the logistical and economic concerns, White House aides have said this week that Trump is serious about closing the border even if the timing remains unclear.

On Tuesday, White House press secretary Sarah Sanders softened Trump’s threat to close the southern border by the end of the week, saying that such a move was not the president’s “first choice” and that he does not have a “specific timeline.”

“Eventually it may be the best decision that we close the border,” Sanders told reporters at the White House, adding that Mexico has taken some concrete steps to slow the flow of migrants coming into the United States, as Trump has demanded.

“He’s hoping that Mexico will continue to step up, like we’ve seen them do over the last couple of weeks,” Sanders said. “We hope that that continues, and that we can work with them so we don’t have to [close the border].”

Trump has told advisers that he would close the ports of entry and reallocate the border patrol agents to other parts of the country. In Trump’s mind, the closure is about leverage — forcing people to think he’s about to do it, and just might do it, to get other concessions, current and former aides said.

Trump has used a similar approach before with trade negotiations and even in the run-up to the government shutdown last year. Some times he backs down at the last moment, and sometimes he follows through.

But the fact that White House officials are looking at ways to address the fallout of his latest threat shows how real the option has become, at least internally.

Completely shutting down the U.S. border with Mexico, as Trump has threatened, could halt all U.S. automotive manufacturing within a week, impacting at least one million jobs, said Kristin Dziczek, vice president of industry, labor and economics at the Center for Automotive Research. She said virtually all U.S. auto production relies on some key parts from Mexico or Central America, and these products are brought into the United States on trucks or trains.

“The building of vehicles requires 100 percent of the parts to be there,” she said, adding that seat belts, engines, transmissions, and wiring harnesses are all brought across the U.S. border.

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce began raising alarms last week about Trump’s threat to shut down the border, saying it could have a crippling effect on the U.S. economy. But Trump has so far refused to back down.

Mexico is the U.S.’s second-largest trading partner, meaning that any disruption at the U.S. border could have immediate consequences on the economy. U.S. companies imported $314.3 billion in goods from Mexico in 2017, according to the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative. And U.S. companies exported $243.3 billion in goods.

The top imports from Mexico are automobiles, electrical machinery, medical instruments, and mineral fuels, among other thing. The U.S. also imports more agricultural goods from Mexico compared with any other country, with $11.5 billion in fresh fruit and vegetables brought into the U.S. each year.

White House press secretary Sarah Sanders on Tuesday, asked about the economic impact of closing the border, said “it’s not our first choice.”

But, she said, Trump could be left with little option if the Mexican government doesn’t do more to address the number of people trying to enter the United States.

    Theresa May says U.K. to seek further delay for Brexit – NBC News
    Theresa May says U.K. to seek further delay for Brexit – NBC News

    LONDON — Prime Minister Theresa May said Tuesday that she will seek to further delay Britain’s exit from the European Union and seek to make an accord with the political opposition in a bid to break the Brexit impasse.

    May made the announcement after the E.U.’s chief negotiator warned that a chaotic and costly Brexit was likely in just 10 days unless Britain snapped out of the political crisis that has paralyzed the government and Parliament.

    After a seven-hour Cabinet meeting, May announced a significant softening of her Brexit terms.

    “I have always been clear that we could make a success of no-deal in the long term but leaving with a deal is the best solution,” she said in a televised statement from 10 Downing St.

    “So we will need a further extension of (the E.U.’s) Article 50 — one that is as short as possible and which ends when we pass a deal.”

    May said “this debate, this division, cannot drag on much longer” and offered to sit down with opposition Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn in an attempt to find a compromise solution.

    Hours before May’s statement, E.U. negotiator Michel Barnier offered E.U. legislators his downbeat assessment as British Cabinet ministers tried to thrash out a new proposal that the U.K. Parliament could consider following the defeat of the government’s plan and a range of lawmaker-written alternatives.

    “As things stand now, the no-deal option looks likely. I have to tell you the truth,” Barnier said in Brussels. “We can still hope to avoid it” if the intensive work in London produces a breakthrough before an April 10 EU summit.

    Britain could depart from the E.U. without a road map two days after the summit. The leaders of the EU’s 27 remaining countries gave the U.K. until April 12 to leave the bloc or to come up with a new plan, after lawmakers thrice rejected an agreement struck between the bloc and May.

    The House of Commons on Monday threw out four alternatives to May’s Brexit deal — the second day of inconclusive votes on options.

    May’s statement seemed to indicate that she was veering away from the possibility of a no-deal Brexit.

    Exiting without a deal in place would jeopardize trade and travel, with new checks on borders and new regulations on dealings between the E.U. and Britain.

    Amid all the uncertainty, analysts have said the economic impact in Britain could be massive.

    Ford’s European boss said that if the U.K. can’t work out a deal on leaving the EU that guarantees “frictionless trade,” the vehicle maker “will have to consider seriously the long-term future of our investments in the country.”

    Ford of Europe Chairman Steven Armstrong told The Associated Press that “a no-deal Brexit would be a disaster for the automotive industry in the U.K.”

    Barnier warned that challenges remain for the E.U. too, though said the bloc is prepared for a chaotic exit.

    “Being prepared for no deal does not mean that there will be no disruption,” he said.

    Barnier urged Britain’s Parliament and government to take a more realistic approach as soon as possible.

    “We still have a little bit of patience,” he said.

    French President Emmanuel Macron and Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar also made urgent appeals before May’s statement for Britain to propose an alternative Brexit plan to avoid a no-deal departure.

    “We cannot spend the coming months on solving terms for the divorce,” Macron said before he and Varadkar met in Paris.

    Varadkar stressed “there’s still time” for May to come to the April 10 summit with “credible” proposals.

    The EU negotiated a long post-Brexit transition period with May. But it was linked to the overall agreement that hasn’t won approval in Parliament, so “there is no transition if there is no deal,” Barnier said.

    Barnier reiterated that the EU was unwilling to renegotiate the 585-page withdrawal agreement but said he would agree to open up the political declaration attached to the legal text.

    In Britain, political chaos continued to reign as the Cabinet held a marathon session to try to find a way out of the crisis. A group of pro-Brexit ministers pressed May to go forward with a no-deal departure. Other Cabinet members and a majority of lawmakers think that would be a disaster.

    “We are now in a really dangerous situation with a serious and growing risk of no deal,” Labour Party legislator Yvette Cooper said.

    Cooper has introduced legislation, which Parliament is set to consider, this week, that would require May to seek to extend the Brexit process beyond April 12 in order to prevent a no-deal departure.

    Newsweek does damage control for AOC’s constitutional ignorance – Washington Examiner
    Newsweek does damage control for AOC’s constitutional ignorance – Washington Examiner

    It must be nice, having national newsrooms to run full-time damage control pro bono.

    Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., said a stupid thing recently during a one-on-one interview with MSNBC’s Chris Hayes. That she said something ignorant is not news at all. What is newsworthy is that Newsweek felt the need to protect her where she is clearly in the wrong.

    The congresswoman was asked last Friday what lessons she learned from studying former President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal, for which her preposterous “Green New Deal” is named.

    “I think there’s a couple of lessons. One is that when we look into our history, when our party was boldest, time of the New Deal, the Great Society, the Civil Rights Act, and so on. We had and carried supermajorities in the House, in the Senate. We carried the presidency,” Ocasio-Cortez said, adding her colleagues today need to overcome “fear within our own party” about being “too bold.”

    This is where her response goes awry: “They had to amend the Constitution of the United States to make sure Roosevelt did not get reelected.”

    Close, but no cigar.

    The 22nd Amendment was passed in 1947. FDR died in 1945. Though there was indeed talk of such an amendment during FDR’s lifetime, the rule wasn’t introduced and passed until after the GOP took both chambers in the 1946 elections, one year after he died. And even then, it was worded so as not to apply to the sitting president.

    This was a simple error on the congresswoman’s part. But Newsweek apparently thought her a damsel in need of rescuing.

    “Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez attacked on Twitter for constitutional mistake – but was she actually right?” read the original headline to the magazine’s defense of the New York lawmaker.

    The story adds, “The dates appeared to leave the argument cut-and-dried … [but] some eagle-eyed social media commenters pointed out that the original architects of the 22nd Amendment were inspired by Roosevelt’s monopoly on the White House and began campaigning long before his death.”

    It’s a huge stretch, but let’s just say this is what Ocasio-Cortez meant when she said the GOP “had to amend the Constitution of the United States to make sure Roosevelt did not get reelected.” Let’s pretend for a moment the congresswoman was really referring to early efforts to limit presidential terms via a constitutional amendment and see where the Newsweek article goes:

    FDR did die in office in ‘45 and the 22nd amendment did come in ‘47 but Congress did start the legislative process in 1944 prior to his death so that he would not be reelected,” another Twitter user wrote in Ocasio-Cortez’s defense. “It was not ratified soon enough and he won in ‘44. AOC did not misspeak, friends.”

    The National Constitution Center also had Ocasio-Cortez’s back. On its website, the nonpartisan organization explained: “Talk about a presidential term-limits amendment started in 1944, when Republican candidate Thomas Dewey said a potential 16-year term for Roosevelt was a threat to democracy. “In March 1947, a Republican-controlled Congress approved a 22nd Amendment, with an exception that would exclude a president in office from term limits during the ratification process.”

    Oh, come off it, Newsweek. You’re embarrassing yourself.

    The 22nd Amendment, which wasn’t even finalized until 1951, specifically exempted presidents who were in office during the ratification process, meaning it wouldn’t have applied to FDR even if it had passed years earlier. Yet, this is the “well, actually” defense Newsweek went with on behalf of Ocasio-Cortez, who favorably cited the article this week as she was justifiably mocked on social media for being both ignorant and arrogant enough to make claims about which she was ignorant.

    Perhaps realizing its cleanup attempt was as obvious as it was ridiculous, Newsweek has amended the story headline to something a bit more subtle: “Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez attacked on Twitter for constitutional mistake – but here’s the full story.”

    “The full story.” Sure.

    Joe Biden 2020: House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says Joe Biden claims of inappropriate behavior aren’t "disqualifying" for 2020 presidential race – CBS News
    Joe Biden 2020: House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says Joe Biden claims of inappropriate behavior aren’t "disqualifying" for 2020 presidential race – CBS News

    House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is defending former Vice President Joe Biden amid claims by two women that he inappropriately touched them, saying such claims are not “disqualifying” for a potential 2020 presidential bid. She stressed, however, that even for the top politicians, perceptions outweigh intentions. 

    “I don’t think it’s disqualifying…I think that it’s important for the vice president and others to understand is it isn’t what you intended, it’s how it was received,” Pelosi said at Politico’s Playbook breakfast on Tuesday. 

    She added of Biden’s response to the criticism over his behavior toward women, “To say ‘I’m sorry that you were offended’ is not an apology.” Instead she said it should be: “‘I’m sorry that I invaded your space,’ because people have different perceptions of appropriate communication.” 

    Pelosi said and her family have known Biden for a long time, saying even her grandchildren love him. She defended his approach to women as simply being “affectionate.”

    “He’s an affectionate person to children to senior citizens to everyone. That’s just the way he is,” said Pelosi. She conceded, however, that Biden “has to understand in the world that were in now, that people'[s] space is important to them and what’s important is how they receive — not necessarily how you intended it.”

    The speaker’s comments come as a second woman has stepped forward with claims of an uncomfortable encounter with Biden, claiming the former vice president reached for her face and rubbed noses with her during a 2009 fundraiser in Greenwich, Connecticut. This follows a claim by former Nevada assemblywoman Lucy Flores, who said that at a 2014 campaign event, Biden approached her from behind, smelled her hair and kissed her head. 

    Pelosi offered her own suggestion on how to handle uncomfortable situations: “I’m a straight-armer,” said Pelosi, extending out her arm for a handshake. “Just pretend you have a cold, and I have a cold.” She suggested Biden should “join the straight arm club” along with her.

      White House spokesman twice calls Puerto Rico ‘that country’ in TV interview – The Washington Post
      White House spokesman twice calls Puerto Rico ‘that country’ in TV interview – The Washington Post

      April 2 at 11:24 AM

      White House spokesman Hogan Gidley twice referred to Puerto Rico as “that country” during a television appearance Tuesday in which he defended a series of tweets by President Trump lashing out at leaders of the U.S. territory.

      In two bursts of tweets — one late Monday night and another Tuesday morning — Trump complained about the amount of federal relief money going to the island and called its politicians “incompetent or corrupt.”

      He also claimed that Puerto Rico “got 91 Billion Dollars for the hurricane,” a figure that actually reflects a high-end, long-term estimate for recovery costs. Only a fraction of that has so far been budgeted, and even less has been spent.

      As he pressed to defend Trump’s contentions, Gidley sought to make the case that the leaders of the territory, whose residents are U.S. citizens, have mishandled the aid they’ve received thus far.

      [Trump hits out at ‘crazed and incompetent’ Puerto Rican leaders after disaster bill fails]

      “With all they’ve done in that country, they’ve had a systematic mismanagement of the goods and services we’ve sent to them,” Gidley said. “You’ve seen food just rotting in the ports. Their governor has done a horrible job. He’s trying to make political hay in a political year, and he’s trying to find someone to take the blame off of his for not having a grid and not having a good system in that country at all.”

      Gidley later attributed his misstatements to “a slip of the tongue.”

      During the interview, Gidley was also asked about a tweet in which Trump said Puerto Rico’s leaders “only take from the USA.”

      Asked to clarify how Trump views the status of Puerto Ricans, Gidley said Trump is supportive of its people, noting that he traveled there after Hurricane Maria hit in September 2017.

      “He gave them a lot of money,” Gidley said. “They have mismanaged and misused that money. It hurts their people. That’s what he’s upset about.”

      Immigration

      As the administration weighs immigration actions, even Trump officials and Hill Republicans aren’t sure what to make of his talk of closing the Mexican border.

      President Donald Trump is thrusting his hard-line posture on immigration back to the fore this week, with plans for a Friday trip to the southern border and possible new executive actions to restrict border crossings.

      But days after Trump renewed his long-standing threat to shut down the southern border entirely, even administration officials and congressional Republicans were bewildered and guessing at his next move on a defining issue of his presidency.

      Story Continued Below

      And some Hill Republicans warned that any dramatic disruption to regular traffic across the U.S.-Mexico border could bring Trump into a new confrontation with his own party, whose leaders warn that closing parts or all of the border would wreak economic havoc.

      On Monday, the Department of Homeland Security announced plans to require that greater numbers of non-Mexican asylum-seekers stay in Mexico while they wait for their cases to be resolved and to speed up the reassignment of 750 customs officers to process arriving migrants.

      Meanwhile, the Trump administration is considering closing some of the lanes at ports of entry or preventing certain types of vehicles or people from crossing the border as he tries to force Mexico to increase its enforcement, three outside advisers told POLITICO.

      “He’s trying to get Mexico’s attention,” said Roy Beck, president of NumbersUSA, a group that advocates for tighter restrictions on immigration.

      The administration already has taken some of those actions, though they have gotten little attention. Customs and Border Protection said in a March 29 memo to shipping companies, importers and other businesses that it would halt a Sunday screening program for commercial trucks at a Nogales, Ariz., port of entry and blamed an “unprecedented humanitarian and border security crisis” for the cutback.

      The administration is considering ways to reduce the number of people crossing into the U.S. That could mean closing some lanes at ports of entry or limiting who is allowed to cross to only day workers. Another proposal under discussion would bar passenger vehicles — but not commercial trucks — from crossing the border.

      But closing the border or even limiting the flow of people through the ports of entry would not prevent migrants from attempting to cross the border illegally.

      Even some people close to the White House called Trump’s remarks “bluster” and predicted he would not close off the border from one of its largest trading partners. Mexico is the United States’s third-largest trading partner with more than $600 billion in cross-border trade last year.

      “I understand the president’s frustration but the unintended consequences of that would be bad for everybody: economic, diplomatic,” said Sen. John Cornyn of Texas, who questioned how such a move could disrupt negotiations with Mexico to handle migrations from the Northern Triangle. “I take him very seriously. But I think we should have a longer conversation about unintended consequences.”

      “It’s part of the way he negotiates, but I’m not sure that’s a particularly good idea and I’m not sure it gets the desired result,” said Senate Majority Whip John Thune of South Dakota of the potential closed border. “Tactically it doesn’t get a result and probably has a lot of unintended consequences … there’s a lot of bilateral trade at the border.”

      Trump will travel to Calexico, Calif., to tour the border on Friday on a West Coast swing that also includes 2020 campaign fundraising. The White House has not disclosed details of the trip.

      Asked whether he thinks Trump is serious about closing the border, Sen. Richard Shelby (R-Ala.) replied: “Oh, I have no idea. You’d need to ask him that.”

      Trump has made cracking down on immigration a central theme of his presidency but has struggled to get his proposals past congressional Republicans. In February, he declared a national emergency to unlock Pentagon funds he can unilaterally steer to a border wall as well as use money from other projects. That action was immediately challenged in court.

      Sen. Mitt Romney of Utah said he takes the president “seriously” and wants more details about how it would affect trade and the economy. Romney was one of a dozen Republicans who rebuffed Trump’s emergency request last month, revealing a sharp intraparty divide over border politics.

      Most Republicans agree there is a crisis on the border but disagree with tactics like closing ports of entry and the emergency request.

      According to a current and a former DHS official familiar with the situation, Trump is once again considering creating a so-called immigration czar, one person in charge of an issue that affects a dozen departments and agencies, including Homeland Security, State, Justice, Labor, Housing and Urban Development, and Health and Human Services. The position would not need Senate confirmation.

      Some of the people being considered are Francis Cissna, director of Citizenship and Immigration Services; Thomas Douglas Homan, former acting director of Immigration and Customs; former Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach; and former Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli, according to the former DHS official. Michael Neifach, who worked for former President George W. Bush, was approached about the job last year, the former official said.

      The White House did not respond to questions Monday. But on Sunday, White House counselor Kellyanne Conway insisted that Trump’s talk of bold action should not be dismissed. “It certainly isn’t a bluff. You can take the president seriously,” she told Fox News.

      Trump on Friday renewed past threats to close the border after his administration announced it was at a “breaking point” processing the paperwork at the border, where agents are seeing an influx of migrants. Border Patrol arrested more than 66,000 migrants in February, the highest monthly total since March 2009 — and officials have said the number rose higher still last month. “Mexico is going to have to do something, otherwise I’m closing the border,” declared Trump, who is said to fixate on border-crossing statistics.

      Trump has long criticized Mexico for failing to halt Central American migrants from El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras from coming to the U.S. border. But he had not previously put a timeline on his threat to close the border.

      On Monday, Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen ordered an expansion of the administration’s “remain in Mexico” strategy, which forces certain non-Mexican asylum-seekers to wait in Mexico pending resolution of their asylum cases in the U.S.

      The secretary said her department would expand the policy — formally known as the Migrant Protection Protocols — “to return hundreds of additional migrants per day.” The program already has been launched at and between several ports of entry in California and Texas.

      In a memo to Customs and Border Protection, Nielsen also called for the agency to accelerate a plan to reassign 750 customs officers to assist with Border Patrol efforts to process and house incoming migrants.

      She added in a related announcement that CBP should explore reassigning more personnel, but should notify her if it details more than 2,000 employees to emergency border work.

      “The crisis at our border is worsening, and DHS will do everything in its power to end it,” she said in a written statement. “We will not stand idly by while Congress fails to act yet again, so all options are on the table.”

      The number of family members intercepted at the southwest border soared in March, according to preliminary CBP statistics. While overall arrests remain below the higher levels of the 1980s, 1990s and early 2000s, the Trump administration argues families and children present unique humanitarian and security issues.

      Nielsen last week urged Congress to provide additional resources to deal with the growing number of migrants. In addition, she pressed lawmakers to change immigration laws to permit children to be detained for more than 20 days — the current limit set by a federal court order — and to allow for the swift deportation of unaccompanied minors from Central America.

      The Trump administration has implemented a number of hard-line policies to deter illegal immigration and asylum-seekers, only to see a record number of family members caught crossing the border in recent months. Border Patrol estimated that it arrested more than 55,000 family members in March, a 520 percent increase over the same month a year earlier.

      Trump last week ordered the State Department to slash aid to El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras because those nations haven’t taken enough action to deter migrants from traveling northward. The State Department informed congressional offices in recent days that it would redirect $450 million in fiscal year 2018 funding to the countries and examine already-committed funds to see if they could be rerouted.

      “Cracking down and being harsher has not deterred anybody from coming,” said Theresa Cardinal Brown, director of immigration and cross-border policy at the Bipartisan Policy Center. “Ultimately, what would stop people from coming is if those countries improve the conditions on the ground.”

      Brexit: MPs push to prevent no-deal in law – BBC News
      Brexit: MPs push to prevent no-deal in law – BBC News
      Media captionYvette Cooper: “We’re in a very dangerous situation”

      A cross-party group of MPs has put forward a bill to prevent a no-deal Brexit in 10 days’ time.

      If passed into law, the bill would require the PM to ask for an extension of Article 50 – which mandates the UK’s exit from the EU – beyond the current 12 April deadline.

      Labour MP Yvette Cooper presented the bill – which supporters hope they can pass through the Commons in one day.

      The cabinet, which remains split over Brexit, met for eight hours in No 10.

      The BBC’s John Pienaar said Theresa May’s ministers considered plans to “ramp up” no-deal Brexit preparations and a snap general election was also discussed.

      Ms Cooper’s bill would make it UK law for the PM to ask for an extension to prevent a no-deal, but it would be up to the EU to grant it – or not.

      In March, MPs voted against leaving the EU without a deal, but it was not legally binding.

      Meanwhile, the EU’s chief negotiator has said a no-deal Brexit is now more likely but can still be avoided.

      Michel Barnier said a long extension to the UK’s 12 April exit date had “significant risks for the EU” and a “strong justification would be needed”.

      France’s President Emmanuel Macron and Irish Taoiseach Leo Varadkar are meeting in Paris to discuss the impact of Brexit.

      President Macron told reporters that the EU “cannot be hostage to the political crisis in the UK”, and the government must come forward with “credible” reasons for an extension.

      He said these could include an election, second referendum, or alternative proposals for the future relationship, such as a customs union.

      Mr Varadkar said the UK was “consumed by Brexit”, but the EU should not be.

      He said the EU “needs to be open” about any proposals the UK brings, including a longer extension, and they will do what they can to “assist”.

      But he added: “We gave the UK some time, some space and some opportunity to come up with a way forward… [but] as things stand, they will leave on 12 April without a deal.”

      Tory MP Sir Oliver Letwin, who supports Ms Cooper’s bill, said: “This is a last-ditch attempt to prevent our country being exposed to the risks inherent in a no-deal exit.

      “We realise this is difficult. But it is definitely worth trying.”

      Ms Cooper said the UK was “in a very dangerous situation” and MPs “have a responsibility to make sure we don’t end up with a catastrophic no deal”.

      Speaking to BBC Radio 4’s World At One, she added: “We have been attempting to squeeze into just a couple of days a process that really should have been happening for the last two years – a process of trying to build a consensus around the best way forward.

      “It is what the prime minister should be doing. It is the prime minister’s responsibility to ensure we don’t leave the country less safe.”

      Why is this bill unusual?

      Normally the government chooses which bills to present to Parliament in order for them to become law.

      But – much to the government’s disapproval – MPs voted to allow backbenchers to take charge of business in the Commons on Wednesday.

      This gives backbenchers the opportunity to table their own bills, such as this one from Yvette Cooper.

      A copy of the bill shows that they want to push it through the commons in one day.

      As the backbenchers will be in charge, they will also be able to vote to set aside more time on another day, if they need to complete the process or hold further indicative votes.

      However, the bill would also have to be agreed by the House of Lords and receive Royal Assent before it became law – which if the Commons agrees it on Wednesday, could happen as soon as Thursday.

      Brexiteer Tory Sir Bill Cash said trying to go through these stages in one day made it a “reprehensible procedure”.

      But Speaker John Bercow said that, while it was “an unusual state of affairs”, it was “not as unprecedented as he supposes” – citing recent bills on Northern Ireland that have been passed at the same speed.

      In the latest round of indicative votes on Monday, MPs voted on four alternatives to the PM’s withdrawal deal, but none gained a majority.

      MPs rejected a customs union with the EU by three votes. A motion for another referendum got the most votes in favour, but still lost.

      The votes were not legally binding, but they had been billed as the moment when Parliament might finally compromise.

      The Independent MP Chris Leslie tweeted that MPs would be seeking more time for indicative votes to take place on Monday.

      Liberal Democrat MP Norman Lamb said he is considering resigning the whip after his party refused to back proposals for a customs union and Common Market 2.0 on Monday.

      He told BBC News: “If you are seen to be unreasonable, not engaging to find solutions, I don’t think it is very attractive to the people.”

      Earlier, Mr Barnier said: “No deal was never our desire or intended scenario but the EU 27 is now prepared. It becomes day after day more likely.”

      Media captionBarnier: “No-deal Brexit has become more likely”

      Mrs May’s plan for the UK’s departure has been rejected by MPs three times.

      Last week, Parliament took control of the process away from the government in order to hold a series of votes designed to find an alternative way forward.

      Eight options were put to MPs, but none was able to command a majority, and on Monday night, a whittled-down four were rejected too.

      What next?

      • Tuesday 2 April: A five-hour cabinet meeting
      • Wednesday 3 April: Potentially another round of indicative votes, and Yvette Cooper’s bill to be debated
      • Thursday 4 April: Theresa May could bring her withdrawal deal back to Parliament for a fourth vote, while MPs could also vote on Ms Cooper’s bill
      • Wednesday 10 April: Emergency summit of EU leaders to consider any UK request for further extension
      • Friday 12 April: Brexit day, if UK does not seek / EU does not grant further delay
      • 23-26 May: European Parliamentary elections

      Brexit

      Drastic measures surrounding Brexit — including a no-deal departure or a snap general election — could be on the cards after the British Parliament failed yet again to agree on any alternative options.

      Having rejected Prime Minister Theresa May’s Brexit deal three times, U.K. Members of Parliament (MPs) voted Monday evening on four alternative options in the process, but all of them were rejected by a majority of lawmakers.

      The option that came the closest to gaining a majority was a proposal to keep Britain in a permanent customs union with the EU. Meanwhile, a proposal for a confirmatory referendum on any deal got the most votes but was defeated by 292 to 280.

      There is an increasing expectation now that Britain could go in one of four directions — toward a no-deal departure from the bloc, holding a snap general election, Parliament agreeing to the U.K. remaining within a customs union with the EU and/or holding a confirmatory referendum on any eventual strategy.

      No deal or a fourth vote?

      The defeat of alternative proposals has thrown British politics and Brexit into further confusion just days ahead of a default “no-deal” departure from the EU. There is also a tangible sense of disbelief in Europe at the inability of the U.K. to agree on Brexit.

      Speaking in Brussels Tuesday, the bloc’s chief negotiator Michel Barnier said a no-deal departure was becoming more likely “by the day,” and that a strong justification would be needed for the EU to agree to a longer Brexit delay.



      Brexit Secretary Stephen Barclay reminded Parliament Monday night that Britain was scheduled to leave the EU on April 12 if no deal was in place. A no-deal exit is seen as a dreaded cliff-edge scenario for businesses where the country has the rely on WTO trading rules.

      But another delay to the departure date may need to be lengthy with the U.K. being urged to participate in EU Parliamentary elections in late May. A lengthy delay is a concern for pro-Brexit politicians who worry that it could lead to the whole process losing momentum.

      Prime Minister May could attempt to hold a fourth vote on her Brexit deal later this week, despite three earlier defeats of the withdrawal agreement. Meanwhile, opposition Labour party leader Jeremy Corbyn called for another round of so-called “indicative votes” for Wednesday.

      Sterling fell almost 1 percent to $1.3048 following the votes Monday night and was trading around the same mark Tuesday morning; London’s FTSE 100 index was 0.3 percent higher in early deals.

      Steen Jakobson, chief investment officer at Saxobank, told CNBC Tuesday that parliamentary debates over Brexit resembled a “trench war.”

      “If we go to the market implication, the hard no-deal (Brexit) has to be priced higher and higher for every hour that passes without any decision.”

      Customs union or an election?

      As Parliament shows itself so far unwilling to find a compromise, Brexit watchers have spoken of the possibility of a snap general election. How that could turn out is anyone’s guess with Brexit throwing up unprecedented division among lawmakers and the public.

      J.P. Morgan Economist Malcolm Barr noted that “the next day or so is likely to involve no small amount of finger pointing among those seeking either a ‘softer’ Brexit or a ‘People’s vote’.” A People’s Vote refers to a referendum on the Brexit deal on offer or revoking the whole departure process.

      “We continue to think that a general election is the single most likely path forward in the coming weeks, even though that event raises a lot of questions for politicians on all sides,” Barr said in a note Monday evening.

      “With the indicative votes process having come so close to identifying a ‘softer’ path tonight, it looks likely more bargaining and tweaks to the motions will generate a positive outturn on Wednesday. It is not clear to us how PM May can forestall that, and the potential split in her party that could follow.”

      The EU’s Barnier signaled that the bloc could accept a customs union with the U.K. but noted that the only way to avoid a no-deal Brexit “will be through a positive majority in the House of Commons” (the lower house of Parliament) putting the ball back in the U.K.’s court.

      Lutfey Siddiqi, visiting professor-in-practice at the London School of Economics, told CNBC he believed that a middle way would still be found.

      “Parliament has no appetite for a no-deal Brexit or no Brexit … I can see a center of gravity emerging in Parliament where it’s towards a customs union perhaps with a confirmatory vote,” he told CNBC’s “Capital Connection” Tuesday.

      “It’s a game of brinkmanship (with the EU). We’ve got these two cars hurtling towards each other but in the British car there’s a tussle going on both for the steering wheel and for the GPS navigation system. That makes it very hard to predict the exact sequence (of events).”
