Republican senators propose $600 billion coronavirus relief compromise plan

Sen. Bill Cassidy, R-La., tells ‘Fox News Sunday’ the proposed measure is ‘targeted to the needs of the American people.’

Sen. Bill Cassidy, R-La., accused President Biden of abandoning true unity for a “patina of unity” and said the president failed to reach out to his group of bipartisan centrist senators before releasing his $1.9 trillion coronavirus stimulus proposal earlier in January.

Cassidy is among ten Republican senators who proposed an alternative $600 billion coronavirus relief package on Sunday.

BIDEN PROPOSES SPENDING $1.9 TRILLION AS HE UNVEILS ‘RESCUE PLAN’ FOR AMERICA

“We’re targeted to the needs of the American people, treating our tax dollars as if they’re our tax dollars not just money to spend,” Cassidy told “Fox News Sunday.” “If you say you want bipartisanship … and then you have a budget reconciliation which is chock-full of payouts to Democratic constituency groups … you don’t want bipartisanship, you want the patina of bipartisanship.”

Cassidy claimed that Biden did not even try to work with his bipartisan group of senators.

“The President’s team did not reach out to anybody in our group, either Democrat or Republican when they fashioned their proposal,” Cassidy said. “So if you want unity, if you want bipartisanship, you ought to start with a group that’s shown it’s willing to work together for a common solution. They did not.”

Cassidy said the senators’ proposal matches Biden’s $160 billion pledge to fund vaccinations and includes $20 billion “to get kids back to school.” Cassidy and his fellow Senate Republicans Susan Collins of Maine, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Mitt Romney of Utah, Rob Portman of Ohio, Shelley Moore Capito of West Virginia, Todd Young of Indiana, Jerry Moran of Kansas, Mike Rounds of South Dakota, and Thom Tillis of North Carolina sent Biden a letter on Sunday.

“In the spirit of bipartisanship and unity, we have developed a COVID-19 relief framework that builds on prior COVID assistance laws, all of which passed with bipartisan support,” they wrote. “Our proposal reflects many of your stated priorities, and with your support, we believe that this plan could be approved quickly by Congress with bipartisan support.”

BIDEN PICK TO RUN UNEMPLOYMENT PROGRAM OVERSAW $600M IN LOSSES TO NIGERIAN FRAUD SCHEME: REPORT

Cassidy said direct coronavirus relief payments need to be more targeted.

“Above a certain income level, that money’s not spent … doesn’t stimulate the economy,” he said.

Biden said his proposal would speed the nation’s COVID vaccination program, boost coronavirus testing capacity to help reopen businesses and schools and provide for $1,400 stimulus checks for Americans.

Biden labeled it his “American Rescue Plan.”

“We not only have an economic imperative to act now — I believe we have a moral obligation,” Biden said during a televised address on Jan. 14.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez calls Democrats’ refusal to impeach Trump a ‘national scandal’ – AOL
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez calls Democrats’ refusal to impeach Trump a ‘national scandal’ – AOL

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) took aim at House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Saturday, calling the Democratic Party’s reluctance to impeach President Donald Trump a “national scandal.”

“At this point, the bigger national scandal isn’t the president’s lawbreaking behavior ― it is the Democratic Party’s refusal to impeach him,” Ocasio-Cortez tweeted late Saturday.

The freshman lawmaker’s tweet follows reports that a U.S. intelligence official filed a whistleblower complaint last month allegedly involving Trump’s efforts to get Ukraine to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden, a front-runner in the 2020 Democratic presidential primary race.

House Democrats are looking into whether Trump’s personal attorney Rudy Giuliani traveled to Ukraine to pressure the foreign government to dig up dirt on Biden’s younger son, Hunter, who previously sat on the board of a Ukrainian gas company.

Trump has denied any wrongdoing, attacking reports from The New York Times and The Washington Post about the matter as “fake news.”

Despite the explosive allegations against Trump and the majority of House Democrats publicly supporting the start of an impeachment inquiry, Pelosi has refused to move forward with the process, claiming it would only further divide the country.

She also reportedly told House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.) last week that she doesn’t believe impeachment would pass a vote on the House floor.

A representative for Pelosi did not immediately respond to HuffPost’s request for comment.

“This is an immediate threat, it is an immediate, immediate threat, and it is extraordinarily serious,” Ocasio-Cortez told reporters on the steps of the U.S. Capitol building on Friday.

She added that in her view there was not more support among Democrats for impeachment proceedings to be leveled against Trump because of challenging elections coming up in their districts.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said on Friday that the acting director of national intelligence was breaking the law with his decision to withhold from Congress a whistleblower complaint reported to address communications between President Donald Trump and a foreign leader.

Often referred to by her initials, AOC, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez made history when she became the youngest woman ever to serve in the United States Congress at 29. Since being elected in 2018, the Puerto Rican Bronx native has continued to make headlines thanks to her Green New Deal and outspoken commentary on social media.

Ocasio-Cortez and several other progressive House Democrats have repeatedly urged Pelosi for more than a year to pursue impeachment of the president, citing conflicts of interest between Trump’s presidency and his business empire.

More Democrats began calling for an impeachment inquiry following Robert Mueller’s Russia report, which outlined several instances of potential obstruction of justice committed by Trump.

Nearly all of the 2020 Democratic presidential hopefuls, including Sens. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) have said they would support the House opening an inquiry.

“After the Mueller report, Congress had a duty to begin impeachment,” Warren tweeted Friday. “By failing to act, Congress is complicit in Trump’s latest attempt to solicit foreign interference to aid him in US elections. Do your constitutional duty and impeach the president.”

Biden, who has stated in the past that he agrees with Pelosi’s stance on impeachment, told CBS News on Friday that Trump “could be impeached” depending on the results of the House’s probe into the whistleblower complaint.

“I’m not making that judgment now,” he said. “The House should investigate.”

Death toll rises as powerful winter storm knocks out power to millions in Texas – CBS News
Death toll rises as powerful winter storm knocks out power to millions in Texas – CBS News

Plano, Texas — More than 3.5 million homes and businesses are without power in Texas, where some of the coldest temperatures in decades have hit the state. A second winter storm is moving in Tuesday night, with more snow and ice.

The storm has dumped snow and ice, knocking out power across dozens of states, and is blamed for at least 17 deaths, including a grandmother and three children who died in a house fire trying to keep warm in Sugar Land, Texas.

National Guard troops and thousands of state troopers are checking in on families who are struggling to stay warm. In parts of Texas and Oklahoma, temperatures haven’t been this low in 100 years — causing pipes to freeze and then explode.

The storm has also forced COVID-19 vaccination sites to close and has caused delays in new doses from being shipped across the country. Texas Governor Greg Abbott called the storm “the winter version of Hurricane Harvey.” State officials have asked people to conserve power if they have it.

In Houston, two others died of carbon monoxide poisoning while trying to stay warm inside their car. There was outrage after some skyscrapers were still lit up, while downtown Dallas went dark Monday night.

In Oklahoma City, the temperature dropped to minus 14 Tuesday morning — the coldest temperature there since 1899. And in Galveston, medical examiners have requested a refrigerated truck after reports of several cold weather-related deaths.

Residents in Fort Worth were forced to boil their own water after a water treatment plant shut down.

Jamie Blanton scrambled to cook and recharge her devices every time the lights come on. “We’ve probably had a total of maybe 2.5 hours of power. And that whole time since Sunday,” she said.

The situation is so bad, Terra Davis is leaving the state after she, her husband and 8-month-old baby had to huddle around their fireplace to stay warm. They went without power for 30 hours.

“It was negative 2 degrees last night,” Davis said. “We had our daughter wrapped up in as many pieces of clothing as we possibly could, but we were really scared.”

Texas is the only state in the continental U.S. that has its own power grid. It is not regulated by the federal government and residents are angry that it’s failed.

“I understand that people are angry that this has happened … let us get the power back on,” said CEO Bill Magness of ERCOT, the power utility that supplies Texas.

The same storm created a powerful tornado in a coastal region of North Carolina that blew apart homes and killed three people and injured 10 others. The powerful twister ripped homes from their foundations, snapped trees and pulled down power lines.

Ellen Acconcia and Bill Callahan rode out the storm in their laundry room before discovering their neighbor trapped under rubble. He later died. “I was able to talk to him … All he was able to say was basically that he hurt everywhere and was in so much pain,” Callahan said.

North Carolina was one of 15 states battered by the same massive storm system. Tornadoes also hit Georgia and Florida.

Officials said the tornado developed so quickly, people didn’t know it was coming. Many were in bed and didn’t have a chance to take cover. Acconcia and Callahan said they got an emergency alert after it had already hit their house.

North Korea Launches Short-Range Projectiles, South Says – The New York Times

“Clearly, Pyongyang is frustrated with the conclusion of the recent summit with Washington in Vietnam that did not produce any breakthrough,” said Harry J. Kazianis, the director of the Washington-based Center for the National Interest. “It also seems clear that North Korea is angry over what appears to be a lack of flexibility in the Trump administration’s position on relieving sanctions, sticking to a policy of ‘maximum pressure.’”

After the Hanoi negotiations collapsed, Mr. Kim and Mr. Trump went home empty-handed but agreed to keep talking. Mr. Kim later said he would give the United States until the end of this year to come up with viable terms. Mr. Trump and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo have both said a third summit meeting would be possible. (The first summit talks were held in Singapore in June 2018 and ended with vague, broad promises.)

Mr. Kim has pushed for a gradual, step-by-step approach to denuclearization, where each nation would make a concession that would be met with one of similar weight by the opposing side. But Mr. Trump’s top foreign policy officials — John R. Bolton, the national security adviser, and Mr. Pompeo — have argued that that approach is flawed because previous administrations had tried it, only to see North Korea continue its development of nuclear weapons. North Korean officials say they do not want Mr. Bolton or Mr. Pompeo involved in future negotiations.

American experts estimate that North Korea has 30 to 60 nuclear warheads, and they say it might have an intercontinental ballistic missile capable of hitting the continental United States. Its conventional artillery weapons could also decimate Seoul, the capital of South Korea.

Ben Sasse Slams Republican Effort to Challenge Election – The New York Times
Ben Sasse Slams Republican Effort to Challenge Election – The New York Times

The New York Post, which has supported Mr. Trump for years, proclaimed on Monday: “Give it up, Mr. President — for your sake and the nation’s.”

Mr. Trump has continued to falsely claim that Mr. Biden unfairly won the election because of widespread voter fraud and has demanded that congressional Republicans work to overturn the results. Attorney General William P. Barr has acknowledged that the Justice Department had uncovered no such fraud that would have changed the outcome and the Supreme Court, as well as courts in at least eight key states across the country, has refused or rejected challenges waged by the Trump campaign in an attempt to throw out the results of the election. Those challenges have not come close to overturning the results in a single state.

Still there is a substantial rift in the party. While a steady stream of House Republicans have announced their willingness to object to the electoral votes of critical states, Mr. Hawley is the first senator to do so. He hinted on Wednesday that other senators could soon join his effort, telling reporters “a number of offices have reached out via staff to ours and said, ‘We’re interested.’”

On Thursday, he blasted out a fund-raising pitch highlighting his plan. “We must ensure that one vote means one vote in America,” read the message, which was positioned alongside a photo of Mr. Hawley and Mr. Trump. “I plan to object to the results of the Electoral College on Jan. 6, but I need your help.”

It is unclear how many — if any — of his Senate colleagues will rally to his side.

His announcement on Wednesday was met with a distinct lack of enthusiasm in many conservative circles. On the private conference call on Thursday with Senate Republicans, Senator Patrick J. Toomey of Pennsylvania, who is retiring in 2022, spoke up to make clear his “strong” disagreement with Mr. Hawley’s plan, a spokesman for Mr. Toomey confirmed.

On that same call, details of which were earlier reported by Axios, Mr. McConnell pressed Mr. Hawley to explain how he expected his objection to play out, according to a person familiar with the conversation. But Mr. Hawley was absent from the call and did not respond, prompting him to email members of the conference later, explaining that he intended to force a debate on the issue of election security and noting that the election had left many of his constituents at home disillusioned.

Mr. Hawley’s objection will force the Senate to debate his claim for up to two hours, followed by a vote on Mr. Biden’s victory. With every Senate Democrat expected to certify the election, along with at least several Republicans, the Senate is likely to affirm Mr. Biden’s victory. The House, which must also conduct the same vote, is controlled by Democrats, making certification a certainty.

US sets world record for coronavirus cases in 24 hours – The Guardian
US sets world record for coronavirus cases in 24 hours – The Guardian
Sign up for the Guardian’s First Thing newsletter

The US has set a world record for coronavirus cases in 24 hours, according to one count, with just over 100,000 new infections recorded.

The daily caseload of 100,233 – as counted by Reuters – surpassed 97,894 cases reported by India on a single day in September.

The news comes three days before the presidential election, and as Donald Trump continues to stage large-scale events at which Covid mitigation measures such as mask-wearing and social distancing are not enforced. The president himself, the first lady, senior aides and Republican leaders contracted the virus after attending such events.

Trump, who spent time in hospital, has insisted the US is “rounding the corner” in the fight to contain the pandemic. This week his oldest son, Donald Trump Jr, a key campaign surrogate, said deaths from Covid-19 were “almost nothing”.

According to Johns Hopkins University – which counted nearly 99,000 US cases on Friday – nearly 230,000 of more than 9m US cases of Covid-19 have resulted in death.

The president and his campaign have sought to present a contrast to Democratic challenger Joe Biden’s promise to implement another lockdown if necessary.

On Saturday, Biden said in a statement: “President Trump still has no plan to address Covid-19. He quit on you, on your family, on America. He just wants us to grow numb to the horrors of the death toll and the pain. We cannot afford another four years of his failed leadership.”

On Friday, scientists at Stanford University released a study which said 18 recent Trump rallies produced more than 30,000 confirmed cases of Covid-19 and “likely led to more than 700 deaths”.

The authors set out to “investigate the effects of large group meetings on the spread of Covid-19 by studying the impact of 18 Trump campaign rallies” over “up to 10 post-rally weeks for each event”.

“Our estimate of the average treatment effect across the 18 events,” they wrote, “implies that they increased subsequent confirmed cases of Covid-19 by more than 250 per 100,000 residents.

“Extrapolating this figure to the entire sample, we conclude that these 18 rallies ultimately resulted in more than 30,000 incremental confirmed cases of Covid-19. Applying county-specific post-event death rates, we conclude that the rallies likely led to more than 700 deaths (not necessarily among attendees)”.

The US has exceeded its previous single-day record, of 77,299 cases registered in July, five times in the past 10 days. The number of daily infections reported in the last two days suggests the country is reporting more than one new case every second.

Despite the overall figure, the US has a rate of about 28,100 cases per million people, which places it about 14th in the world for prevalence.

Political leaders pay tribute to Sen. Bob Dole

Chad Pergram shares details on the memorial service in honor of Sen. Dole at the National Cathedral on ‘Special Report.’

Former Republican Senator Bob Dole, who passed away this week at the age of 98, included in his farewell letter a playful jab at the Democratic Party.

“As I make the final walk on my life’s journey, I do so without fear. Because I know that I will, again, not be walking alone,” Dole said in a farewell letter that was read by his daughter Robin at his funeral in Washington, D.C. on Friday. “I know that God will be walking with me,” the late senator wrote. “I also confess that I’m a bit curious to learn and find if I am correct in thinking that heaven will look a lot like Kansas and to see, like others who have gone before me, if I will still be able to vote in Chicago.”

Dole was awarded two Purple Hearts, the Bronze Star with “V” device and an Oak Cluster for his military service. A captain when he left the Army, Dole was later promoted to colonel. In 2013, Dole told Fox News he wanted to be remembered as a “veteran who gave his most for his country.”

Julian Assange arrest: justice or a threat to free press? – Vox.com
Julian Assange arrest: justice or a threat to free press? – Vox.com

Is the arrest of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange justice against a man who broke the law, or is it a warning shot that journalism is under threat in the United States?

It’s a difficult question to answer, in part because it brings up a host of other related questions: Do you consider WikiLeaks a journalistic organization or not? Did Assange actively participate in criminal activity to obtain classified intel, as the US government alleges, or did he just disseminate information passed on to him and is therefore protected by the First Amendment? Does it matter that Assange and his organization seem to have developed at the very least an affinity to Russia? And is the single charge he faces in the United States the total of the government’s push for justice — or is it just the opening salvo in what will become a larger war to punish Assange (and anyone else who publishes classified information)?

These questions all came to a head on Thursday when, after months of speculation, Assange was arrested in London by British police after being expelled from the Ecuadorian Embassy there. He now faces likely extradition to the US. After his arrest, the Justice Department unsealed an indictment alleging that Assange conspired with former US intelligence analyst Chelsea Manning to crack a password on a Defense Department computer network in order to download classified records and transmit them to WikiLeaks in 2010.

That, however, isn’t all the US government is upset about. Starting in 2010, WikiLeaks published a video of an airstrike in Iraq that killed civilians, military documents about the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, and State Department cables in which diplomats gave candid assessments of foreign governments, all provided by Manning. The unprecedented leaks gained enormous attention and made Assange a sort of celebrity — and a target, as top US officials like Attorney General Eric Holder publicly mused about how they could charge him. Perhaps freshest in mind, however, is the “hacktivist” organization’s decision to publish Hillary Clinton aide John Podesta’s emails in the months before the 2016 election.

There has long been a debate about whether what WikiLeaks does counts as journalism. Some view Assange and WikiLeaks as a bastion of transparency and an ultimate example of forcing government accountability. Others see the work as dangerous and treacherous.

With Assange’s arrest and the unsealing of the Justice Department’s indictment, the dust around WikiLeaks has been kicked up again. Some groups dedicated to free speech and press have decried the incident as a foreshadowing of dark times to come for American journalism, while many observers have celebrated it as justice served.

“This case raises a number of really thorny questions about what it means to be a journalist, and who is entitled to the constitutional protections that do exist to ensure that the public gets the information it needs,” David Schulz, senior counsel at Ballard Spahr LLP and director of the Media Freedom and Information Access Clinic at Yale Law School, told me.

A lot of people are celebrating Assange’s arrest — but not everyone

At WikiLeaks, Assange has made a lot of enemies, and by many accounts, he’s a jerk. He’s also been hiding out in the Ecuadorian Embassy to avoid an investigation into a sexual assault allegation against him in Sweden.

Many in the national security space hold animosity toward him for compromising sensitive confidential information, including about US military activity in Iraq and Afghanistan and communications from State Department officials. Many Democrats also blame him, at least partially, for Hillary Clinton’s loss in the 2016 election after WikiLeaks published Podesta’s emails and hacked information from the Democratic National Committee.

“Julian Assange got what he deserved,” author Michael Weiss wrote in the Atlantic.

“He’s our property, and we can get the facts and truth from him,” Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) told CNN.

Groups dedicated to free speech and press have had a different read.

Ben Wizner, director of the American Civil Liberties Union’s speech, privacy, and technology project, said in a statement that any prosecution of Assange for WikiLeaks’ publishing operation would be “unprecedented and unconstitutional, and would open the door to criminal investigations of other news organizations.”

“The potential implications for press freedom of this allegation of conspiracy between publisher and source are deeply troubling,” said Robert Mahoney, deputy director of the Committee to Protect Journalists, in a statement. He added that the US government could “set out broad legal arguments about journalists soliciting information or interacting with sources that could have chilling consequences for investigative reporting and the publication of information of public interest.”

Barry Pollack, an attorney for Assange, echoed the sentiment in an email to Yahoo News. “Journalists around the world should be deeply troubled by these unprecedented criminal charges,” he said.

This is a little like getting Al Capone on tax evasion

When reports surfaced last year that the US government had indicted Assange, there was a lot of speculation about what, specifically, he was being charged with. As Vox’s Andrew Prokop laid out at the time, the US government had already charged people they’d accused of leaking classified information, including Manning, but going after the publisher of that information was highly unusual. It’s one of the reasons President Barack Obama’s Justice Department hadn’t charged Assange years ago.

But after Assange’s arrest on Thursday, the Department of Justice unsealed the indictment, which is dated to March 2018. The charge: “conspiracy to commit computer intrusion,” related to Assange’s alleged attempt in 2010 to help Manning figure out a password she needed to access more classified documents and information. Per the indictment, it appears the attempt was unsuccessful.

Compared to what some observers thought the indictment might be — including much more serious charges under the Espionage Act — the charge against Assange is, frankly, a pretty small one. If he’s convicted, he could face up to five years in prison — less time than he spent hiding out in the Ecuadorian Embassy in the UK.

It’s a bit like gangster Al Capone being arrested on tax evasion charges: It’s probably not what the US government wanted to get him on, but it’s the way they could do it.

“This is not the thing they care about,” Julian Sanchez, a senior fellow at the Cato Institute, told me. “It’s the thing that they can win a court case over.”

For those who view Assange as a criminal as contemptible as Capone, that’s a win — take what you can get. But for civil liberties defenders, it’s a reprehensible overreach.

That the US government would go to such extreme lengths to go after Assange has caused some alarm, especially in light of how small the charge is against him, at least for now. “It would be pretty unusual for the government to go to this amount of effort to extradite someone if that was the only issue,” Sanchez said. “If their only contribution to the crime has been that they ran some software against a password hash and then failed to actually help, then that probably wouldn’t result in someone’s extradition.”

Journalists aren’t given a free pass to commit crimes in the pursuit of a story — but they also haven’t been punished for publishing info that came from one

That’s not to say that what the indictment alleges Assange did, if convicted, isn’t a crime.

And reporters don’t get to just commit any crime they want in the name of journalism. If I punch someone to get them to talk to me for a story or break into their house to steal documents, I can still be charged with assault or robbery.

“Journalists are not scot-free to do whatever they think they need to do in order to pursue an act of journalism,” said Columbia University professor Todd Gitlin.

Whether Assange committed a crime in his work with Manning is something that will ultimately be decided if he is indeed extradited and brought to trial. That’s when courts will determine whether he knowingly violated the law to gain access to information. What it could all hinge on: Did he just advise Manning on how to avoid detection, or was he conspiring with her to get information in an illegal way?

There are some prior cases that illustrate how this could play out, and where the line is. In 2001, the Supreme Court ruled on a case called Bartnicki v. Vopper. In that case, a person intercepted and recorded a phone call between a union negotiator and union president and sent it to a radio station, which played a tape of the conversation. The court ruled that the First Amendment protected the broadcaster because it hadn’t participated in the illegal interception.

Other cases, however, have gone the other way. A Texas television station was implicated when a man made recordings of his neighbor’s cordless phone conversations discussing plans to interfere in the local school district’s insurance contract. (The station ultimately settled the related lawsuit.) A journalist was arrested for allegations that he aided and abetted a TWA pilot who stole evidence from the TWA Flight 800 crash in the 1990s.

“There is established in the law a pretty bright line,” Schulz said. “You cross it when you become a participant in illegal activity.”

This is a lot bigger than a password

The debate about Assange and WikiLeaks stretches far beyond helping Manning crack a password. It has reopened the ongoing discussion about whether what WikiLeaks does counts as journalism. It has also raised questions about the government’s intentions and whether this opens the door to prosecuting more journalists or not.

On the former point, people have different opinions of whether what WikiLeaks does — dumping troves of data indiscriminately — is really journalism.

“Is a data dump journalism? That’s an interesting question,” Gitlin said. “In the case of war crimes footage, I feel comfortable saying that by working with Manning on that, Assange was performing an act of journalism. But when you release terabytes of data indiscriminately, I don’t know what to call that, but it’s not self-evidently journalism.”

Indiscriminate data dumps such as those WikiLeaks engages in can have dangerous consequences. For example, human rights advocates have complained that WikiLeaks’ activities have endangered activists in China, and the platform has released information on government sources that the US has gone to great lengths to protect.

Making the matter even more complicated is the evolution of WikiLeaks itself. Back in 2010, it gave the New York Times, Der Spiegel, and the Guardian troves of information. In 2016, it was clearly rooting for Trump and trying to undermine Clinton. And as Foreign Policy points out, Assange was at the same time declining to publish damaging information on the Russian government. Members of Trump’s administration have even gone so far as to denounce WikiLeaks as a “hostile intelligence service.” (To be sure, a lot of journalism is far from unbiased.)

More specifically to Assange and the charge against him right now, there are concerns that there could be more charges brought against him in the future. That’s one of the concerns Wizner, from the ACLU, raised in his statement. “We have no assurance that these are the only charges the government plans to bring against Mr. Assange,” he said.

The New York Times noted that if the Justice Department does intend to charge Assange with additional offenses, it would likely need to do it before the UK decides whether to send him to the US. The extradition process could take months or even years, so there’s a non-zero chance more charges could be added — and press advocates worry that any broader charges related to WikiLeaks’ work could have a chilling effect on more traditional media outlets that are considering publishing leaked information.

“Never in the history of this country has a publisher been prosecuted for presenting truthful information to the public,” Wizner told CNN in 2017. “Any prosecution of WikiLeaks for publishing government secrets would set a dangerous precedent that the Trump administration would surely use to target other news organizations.”

Adding another layer of anxiety is the Trump administration and its contentious relationship with the press. The president has openly discussed an interest in loosening up libel laws and frequently derides the media.

The controversy over WikiLeaks’ place in the journalistic sphere and what Assange’s arrest means for reporting isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. It may very well be that Assange did commit a crime — but his arrest might not be something we should cheer, at least not without some reflection.

El mandatario ruso, Vladimir Putin, ofreció asilo político al exdirector del FBI, James Comey en caso de que salieran a la luz las grabaciones de las conversaciones que tuvo con el presidente de Estados Unidos, mientras otras instituciones estadounidenses piensan estrategias para disminuir la injerencia del crimen organizado en México y frenar la violencia a los periodistas. Los últimos meses se ha visto una alta incertidumbre en los mercados y aumentos a las tasas de interés, por lo que te recomendamos pagar el total de tu tarjeta de crédito.

1. Si el exdirector del FBI sufre persecuciones en EU, le ofrecemos asilo: Putin

Después de que el exdirector del FBI fuera despedido en Estados Unidos y declarara que podría revelar las conversaciones que tuvo con el presidente, Donald Trump, el mandatario ruso, Vladimir Putin, comparó el caso de James Comey con el de Edward Snowden, a lo que dijo en una sesión de preguntas y respuestas que Rusia está dispuesta a dar asilo a Comey, igual que lo hizo anteriormente con Snowden, en caso de que revelara datos de las conversaciones que mantuvo con el presidente estadounidense.

Putin dijo que le parecía extraño que un jefe de servicios secretos grabara una conversación con un jefe de Estado sobre la posible injerencia rusa en las elecciones presidenciales de Estados Unidos y después llegara a los medios de comunicación, a través de un amigo.

Si el exdirector del FBI sufre persecuciones en EU, le ofrecemos asilo: Putin. Ver nota.

2. ¿Cuál es el rol de Estados Unidos en la muerte de periodistas mexicanos?

La indignación de los medios de comunicación por los asesinatos de periodistas que los lleva a marchar esta tarde bajo la consigna #NuestraVozEsNuestraFuerza, ha traspasado fronteras para convertirse en un tema de discusión internacional. Según un reporte de The Intercepted, Estados Unidos colabora activamente en México para proteger la libertad de expresión, tal como ha participado en la batalla contra el narcotráfico, pero no sólo participa el Departamento de Estado Estadounidense, sino instituciones como el Petágono y el Departamento de Justicia.

La colaboración entre vecinos (Estados Unidos y México) consiste en realizar estrategias, helicópteros Black Hawk, equipo de inteligencia, aviones y sistemas satelitales, pero para muchos expertos en seguridad, ha sido una mala decisión porque los resultados muestran una escalada de violencia en México.

3. Precio del bitcoin registra retroceso de 11.13%

La criptomoneda más popular del mercado sigue dando de qué hablar y este jueves no fue la excepción, ya que registró un retroceso de 11.13%.

“Hay una gran diferencia entre un ataque de denegación de servicio y un hackeo que hace que los clientes pierdan fondos. Afortunadamente aún no hemos visto ninguno de estos últimos”, dijo Chris Burniske, de ARK Investments a CNBC.

4. Intenta ser totalero en esta época de alza de tasas

Las tasas de interés a nivel mundial han subido en lo que va del año, Banxico registró un incremento de 100 puntos base a la tasa de interés y ahí no termina la historia. Se espera que para el 22 de junio la tasa vuelva a subir y al cierre de año alcance el 7.25 por ciento.

Las tarjetas de crédito son un producto que de por sí es caro, pero en época de aumento de tasas puede hacer que una deuda se vuelva impagable. La mejor opción es no endeudarse, pero si lo vas a hacer, que sea equivalente a tus ingresos para poder pagar el total que llega cada mes a tu estado de cuenta, de esta forma estás protegiendo tus finanzas personales y sobrevivirás a las condiciones económicas del mercado.

Intenta ser totalero en esta época de alza de tasas. Ver nota.

5 dead, police officers among 21 shot in random attacks after hijacking in West Texas – PennLive.com
5 dead, police officers among 21 shot in random attacks after hijacking in West Texas – PennLive.com

ODESSA, Texas (AP) — Odessa Police Chief Michael Gerke says that at least 21 people have been injured by gunfire and five killed in a shooting in West Texas.

At a news conference Saturday, Gerke also says that at least three law enforcement officers were among those shot.

He spoke after a chaotic afternoon during which police reported that a suspect hijacked a U.S. Postal Service vehicle. A man began shooting after an attempted traffic stop, then began firing at random in the area of Odessa and Midland, hitting multiple people.

Police initially reported that there could be more than one shooter, but Gerke says authorities now believe it was one shooter.

Midland police said a suspect was shot and killed near the Cinergy movie theater in Odessa. The Washington Post described the suspect as a white man in his 30s.

The Texas Department of Public Safety had urged residents to avoid major highways in the area. The USPS recalled its vehicles to help authorities track down the suspect, according to CBS7.

The University of Texas Permian Basin campus had gone into lockdown.

EE.UU.: Donald Trump cambia de opinión y asegura que le "gustan mucho" dos disposiciones del Obamacare – BBC Mundo
EE.UU.: Donald Trump cambia de opinión y asegura que le "gustan mucho" dos disposiciones del Obamacare – BBC Mundo

Durante la campaña, Donald Trump calificó a Obamacare como un “desastre total”.

Durante su campaña, el presidente electo de EE.UU., Donald Trump, calificó al programa de salud conocido popularmente como Obamacare -por haber sido impulsado por el gobierno de Barack Obama- de “desastre total” y dijo que iba a derogarlo y reemplazarlo.

Desde que entró en vigor, en octubre de 2013, la Ley de Protección al Paciente y Cuidado de Salud Asequible (nombre oficial) permitió acceder a cobertura sanitaria a unos 20 millones de personas que hasta entonces no disponían de ella, aunque aún quedan unos 24 millones de personas sin seguro.

Sin embargo, muchos conservadores opinan que Obamacare es una intromisión estatal en asuntos privados y acusan al programa de quitar trabajos en el área de la salud.

Y Trump a lo largo de la campaña parecía estar de acuerdo.

Este jueves Donald Trump y Barack Obama se reunieron en la Casa Blanca.

Ahora el candidato electo dijo en una entrevista con el diario The Wall Street Journal que estaría dispuesto mantener dos partes del Obamacare porque le “gustan mucho”.

Una de ellas es la prohibición de que las aseguradoras nieguen dar cobertura a alguien por tener condiciones médicas preexistentes, un problema que dejaba sin cobertura médica a quienes quizá más lo precisaban.

La segunda es la que permite a los jóvenes de hasta 26 años que viven que sus padres que puedan beneficiarse de los seguros de estos.

Muchas personas fueron a inscribirse a Obamacare al día siguiente de las elecciones, por miedo a que se cancele el programa.

Por respeto a Obama

En el último año esta legislación recibió muchas críticas por el aumento de las primas de los seguros y por las dificultades económicas que ha causado a las compañías aseguradoras, muchas de las cuales han anunciado que reducirán su participación en el programa.

Pero Trump dijo a The Wall Street Journal que su reunión de una hora y media con Barack Obama, el jueves 10 de noviembre, le había hecho reconsiderar sus intenciones de eliminarla.

“Le dije que miraré sus sugerencias y por respeto, lo haré”, comentó el presidente electo.

Anthony Zurcher, corresponsal de la BBC en América del Norte, explica que las características de Obamacare que el presidente electo elogia son posibles gracias a las porciones de la ley que condena, como obligar a todos los estadounidenses que adquieran un seguro.

“Podría resultar difícil mantener lo primero sin lo segundo”, dice Zurcher.

El gobierno de Barack Obama dijo que se espera que los precios de Obamacare aumenten en 2017.

Último minuto

“Derogar y reemplazar” ha sido el mantra republicano ante la reforma de salud de Barack Obama durante los últimos seis años.

Mientras fue candidato, Trump prometió “una gran asistencia sanitaria a una fracción del costo” actual, aunque no dio muchos detalles de cómo sería el reemplazo de Obamacare.

Ahora sus últimas declaraciones llegaron en medio de un aumento en las solicitudes para unirse al plan, posiblemente por temor a que el mismo esté a punto de desaparecer.

Más de 100.000 solicitantes obtuvieron el seguro de salud Obamacare al día siguiente de las elecciones del martes, la mayor inscripción de este año, según la administración Obama.

Los republicanos del Congreso han votado más de 50 veces para deshacer la ley. Alrededor de 22 millones de estadounidenses quedarían sin seguro si lo lograran.

Los jóvenes menores de 26 años que viven con sus padres pueden beneficiarse de su seguro gracias a Obamacare.

Sin embargo, en un adelanto de la primera entrevista que Trump dio como presidente electo al programa 60 Minutes de la cadena CBS, el republicano dijo que derogará y reemplazará el proyecto “simultáneamente”, para que nadie quede sin protección.

Los republicanos mantendrán el control del Senado, pero todavía carecen de la súper mayoría que necesitarían para eliminar la Ley del Cuidado de Salud en su totalidad.

Y esta nueva postura de Trump menos radical puede no gustarles mucho.

Según explica Zurcher, a lo largo de la campaña, Trump rompió a menudo con la ortodoxia republicana sin pagar ningún precio político.

Y agrega: “Puede que aprenda que como presidente no llegará lejos sin el respaldo del establishmentdel partido“.

El Obamacare ha sido objeto de muchas críticas por el aumento de las primas de los seguros y por las dificultades económicas que ha causado a las compañías aseguradoras.

Aumento de precios

El Obamacare ha tenido otras dificultades.

En octubre, el gobierno dijo que se espera que el costo promedio de cobertura médica aumente un 25% en 2017 para los estadounidenses que no califican para los subsidios.

El ex presidente Bill Clinton opinó que la porción no subvencionada de la ley era “la cosa más loca del mundo”.

A diferencia de otros países occidentales, en Estados Unidos las compañías privadas, en lugar del gobierno, proporcionan seguro de salud para los ciudadanos estadounidenses.

    Extreme Cold Hits Midwest, Northeast: 5 Dead, Thousands of Flights Canceled – The Weather Channel
    Extreme Cold Hits Midwest, Northeast: 5 Dead, Thousands of Flights Canceled – The Weather Channel

    The Polar Vortex continued its grip on the Midwest Thursday with the coldest Arctic air in decades. At least five people are dead as a result of the bitter cold, widespread school closures continue, flights are grounded and mail delivery is still on hold in some states until temperatures warm up.

    The extreme cold is responsible for at least five deaths.

    An unidentified former member of the Ecorse City Council was found dead near a neighbor’s house Wednesday. The former councilman was reportedly clothed in inappropriate clothing for the cold and without a hat and gloves, the Associated Press reports.

    In Detroit, a 70-year-old unidentified man was also found dead in front of a neighbor’s home Wednesday.

    18-year-old University of Iowa student Gerald Belz was found dead on campus Wednesday morning, KCRG reports. The exact details leading up to his death are unclear, but officials told the news station that the cold weather was to blame.

    An 82-year-old Peoria County, Illinois man was found dead after he tripped and fell outside his home and fell victim to the cold temperatures, NEWS 25 reports.

    On Sunday, the body of 22-year-old Ali Gombo was discovered outside his sister’s home in Rochester, Minnesota, WCCO reports. Police say he went to a bar Saturday night and was dropped off at the home around 2:30 a.m. He didn’t have keys to the home and when he found the home locked he reportedly tried to wake his sister but she didn’t hear him. Gombo’s body was found the next morning. Authorities say he likely died of hypothermia trying to get into the home.

    The break in the Polar Votex brought a wind chill of -66 degrees Fahrenheit in Minnesota early Wednesday and wind chills of -58 degrees Fahrenheit in Wisconsin and Iowa.

    Several major Midwest universities remain closed Thursday, including the University of Notre Dame, the University of Minnesota, the University of North Dakota, the University of Wisconsin, the University of South Dakota and Iowa State University.

    In a rare move, the cold prompted the U.S. Postal Service to ignore the popular saying, “Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds.” Instead, the service has once again suspended service Thursday to parts or all of several Midwest states, including Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Ohio and Pennsylvania.

    More than 2,500 flights have been canceled as of Thursday morning, including more than 700 at Chicago’s O’Hare, according to Flight Aware.

    Here’s a full breakdown of how different states in the Midwest are faring under the bitter cold:

    Illinois

    A state of emergency remains in effect for the state.

    On Wednesday, 21 passengers on a Chicago-bound bus were rescued when the bus broke down on Interstate 55 near Springfield. The cause of the break down was gelled diesel fuel from the cold. The passengers endured cold temperatures on the bus for a significant amount of time before they were rescued, the Associated Press reports.

    Temperatures dipped to -23 degrees Fahrenheit Wednesday morning at Chicago’s O’Hare, with a wind chill of 49 degrees below zero. The last time temperatures dropped below -20 degrees Fahrenheit in the Windy City was Jan. 18, 1994.

    Calling the brutal cold a “public health risk,” Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel said city agencies are making sure homeless people are in shelters or offered space in five Chicago Transit Authority buses, the AP reports.

    “These (conditions) are actually a public health risk and you need to treat it appropriately,” Emanuel said. “They are life-threatening conditions and temperatures.”

    The Salvation Army told weather.com they are partnering with city officials to conduct well-being checks. It’s also providing meals at shelters, delivering cold weather gear packages and deploying mobile feeding and homeless outreach units to 31 locations in the city.

    Chicagoland schools and most colleges in the state remain closed Thursday.

    The Brookfield Zoo is closed on Thursday because of the frigid weather. This will be only the fourth time the zoo has closed during its 85-year history.

    Other Chicago attractions closed Thursday include the Lincoln Park Zoo, the Art Institute of Chicago and the Field Museum.

    Amtrak says it is restoring some train service in and out of Chicago Thursday after suspending all trains Wednesday. Typically, 55 trains come in and out of the Chicago hub.

    To prevent train tracks from contracting under the bitter cold, Chicago transit authorities set fire to the tracks.

    The Chicago Transit Authority noted that the extreme cold can cause mechanical issues so commuters should expect delays.

    An unidentified good Samaritan reportedly picked up the hotel tab for 70 homeless people who were camped in tents in Chicago Wednesday. The offer apparently came after the Chicago Fire Department confiscated propane tanks the people were using to keep warm.

    Wisconsin

    In Wisconsin, a state of emergency remains in effect through Friday. Schools were also closed throughout the state as temperatures plummeted.

    “I want to make sure all state assets are available, including the Wisconsin National Guard if needed, to help communities across the state and keep people warm and safe,” Evers said.

    (MORE: Here’s the Coldest It’s Ever Been in Your State)

    The Ice Castles attraction, about 90 miles from Chicago on Lake Geneva, remained closed Thursday.

    “The health and safety of our guests and our staff is our number one priority,” Ice Castles CEO Ryan Davis said in a statement. “No one should be outdoors for an extended amount of time in extreme sub-zero temperatures.”

    Michigan

    In Michigan, a state of emergency remains in effect. Hundreds of schools were canceled for Thursday and nonessential government offices were also closed, including the Capitol.

    Gov. Gretchen Whitmer is urging residents to turn down thermostats to “65 degrees or less” after a fire erupted at a natural gas plant in Macomb County Wednesday.

    Lansing Mayor Andy Schor said homeless shelters in the city were becoming “overloaded.” They also were filling up in Detroit.

    “People don’t want to be out there right now,” said Brennan Ellis, 53, who is taking shelter at the Detroit Rescue Mission Ministries.

    Numerous schools, attractions, government offices and business closed Thursday. Central Michigan University, Michigan State University and the University of Michigan, among others, are also closed.

    Two dozen water mains froze in Detroit, the Associated Press reports.

    Minnesota

    The extreme cold cracked rail along the Minneapolis light-rail system, forcing trains onto a single track, the Associated Press reported.

    The extreme cold prompted the Minnesota Department of Transportation to halt snowplow operations in 11 southeastern counties. MDot officials said the cold was causing mechanical issues with the snowplows.

    As with most states gripped by the dangerous cold, schools, government offices and businesses remain closed.

    Ohio

    Numerous schools and universities, including the University of Toledo, Case Western Reserve University, the University of Akron and Bowling Green State and Youngstown State universities are closed Thursday. The Ohio State University canceled classes Thursday until 11 a.m.

    In Toledo, all non-essential city offices are closed through Thursday. Courthouses, libraries and many county agencies in Toledo also will be shut down through Friday.

    In Cleveland, county buildings and courthouses are closed.

    Indiana

    An Indiana State Trooper tweeted Wednesday that Interstate 65 was becoming a “parking lot with broken down semis.” Master Trooper Glen Fifield said the problem stems from fuel filters freezing and gelled fuel.

    A Zebra died due to cold exposure in Carroll County. The Zebra got stuck in the fence and froze in the extreme cold.

    The temperature fell to -11 degrees Fahrenheit Wednesday in Indianapolis, which tied the record low for the date set in 1966.

    Information from the Associated Press was used in this report.

    2. Canelo Álvarez, un boxeador sin el ‘estilo’ mexicano

    Para el boxeador, Canelo Álvarez, originario de Juanacatlán, Jalisco, cuando elige ropa lo hace pensando en la comodidad. “Mientras uno se sienta seguro, creo que eso es lo más importante”. Algunas de las marcas que suele elegir son: Dolce & Gabbana, Calvin Klein y relojes de la firma Hublot.

    El precio de una playera del boxeador va desde 205 dólares y de una sudadera ronda entre los 395 dólares.
    En el tema de mercadotecnia, el peleador mexicano tiene la misma importancia que el basquetbolista Stephen Curry, estrella de los Golden State Warriors, para la compañía deportiva Under Armour.

    3. Reportan 10 muertos tras enfrentamientos en Puebla

    Fueron asesinados en Puebla cuatro soldados, aparentemente por ladrones de combustible en dos incidentes separados, en los que también murieron seis delincuentes, informaron el jueves las autoridades.
    El robo de combustible ha crecido en los últimos años en Puebla y otros estados, lo que es un grave problema para la petrolera estatal Pemex.

    De acuerdo con la Sedena, en la primera agresión los soldados no respondieron porque los presuntos criminales utilizaron mujeres y niños como escudo, para protegerse.

    4. Seis errores comunes en las entrevistas de trabajo

    A todos nos ha pasado que al acudir a una entrevista laboral, las manos nos sudan, la voz nos tiembla y nos ponemos nerviosos debido a que no nos preparamos para ella. El objetivo de la entrevista de trabajo es convencer al entrevistador de que uno se siente motivado y capacitado para el puesto de trabajo ofrecido, pero si fallamos en lo que en algunos casos se puede considerar como el paso más importante, la entrevista, se limitan las posibilidades de obtener ese puesto.

    Todos los pasos anteriores en el proceso de selección de un empleador sirvieron para descartar a los candidatos menos idóneos para los puestos, por lo que sólo se quedarán para las entrevistas con los que tienen más potencial para desarrollar con éxito el puesto ofrecido.

    Falleció corresponsal de EL UNIVERSO en Cuenca, Sandra Ochoa Naula – El Universo
    Falleció corresponsal de EL UNIVERSO en Cuenca, Sandra Ochoa Naula – El Universo

    La corresponsal de Diario EL UNIVERSO en Cuenca, Sandra Ochoa Naula, falleció este miércoles, víctima del cáncer.

    Permaneció internada en el hospital José Carrasco del Instituto Ecuatoriano de Seguridad Social, en Cuenca, desde hace varias semanas.

    Nacida en Cuenca el 11 de febrero de 1973, estaba casada con el tecnológo médico Marco Saltos y eran padres de una hija pequeña. Sus padres son Vicente Ochoa e Inés Naula.

    Antes de ingresar al mundo del periodismo, Sandra ingresó a un convento donde estudió para convertirse en religiosa, pero sintió que su vocación era otra.

    Estudió Comunicación Social y Derecho en la Universidad Católica de Cuenca. Además ejerció como catedrática universitaria.

    Entre sus trabajos periodísticos más relevantes consta la investigación que realizó sobre la ruta que realizan los migantes azuayos en busca del sueño americano. Su reportaje mereció el premio nacional de reportaje “Jorge Mantilla Ortega”, y también se publicó en las páginas del diario norteamericano The New York Times. 

    Viajó como migrante en un barco pesquero en 2004 para conocer de cerca y poder contar lo que sufren los migrantes en sus viajes ilegales hacia Estados Unidos. “Son barcos que son para llevar pescados y no personas”, dijo en ese entonces. 

    Su pasión por el periodismo la llevó a realizar miles de coberturas, entre estas, las políticas, donde cubrió las visitas del presidente Rafael Correa. Fue en junio de 2007 cuando el actual mandatario la calificó de “gordita horrorosa”, luego de que ella le preguntara al mandatario qué quería que le preguntara, frente a sus cuestionamientos por temas abordados.

    A ella ese calificativo del mandatario no la amilanó. Antes, lo contrario, le dio fuerzas para seguir en su profesión. (I)
