| How a bill co-sponsored by Elizabeth Warren and signed by Trump could reshape the next presidential transition Posted: 21 Mar 2020 02:00 AM PDT  In approximately 10 months, a new presidential administration will take shape. And how it does so could have great consequences in the years to come. That's why there's reason to cheer a bill that could ensure that the transition is conducted with the proper ethical strictures in place — the kinds of strictures that did not exist in 2016.

The American disease expert, a medical epidemiologist embedded in China's disease control agency, left her post in July, according to four sources with knowledge of the issue. The first cases of the new coronavirus may have emerged as early as November, and as cases exploded, the Trump administration in February chastised China for censoring information about the outbreak and keeping U.S. experts from entering the country to help.

| Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez calls Justice Department emergency proposals 'abhorrent' Posted: 22 Mar 2020 10:35 AM PDT  The coronavirus pandemic should not be an excuse for the suspension of civil rights, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) said Sunday. During an appearance on CNN's State of the Union, host Jake Tapper asked Ocasio-Cortez to respond to the emergency proposals submitted to Congress by the Justice Department, including one which would give Attorney General William Barr the power to ask chief district judges to pause court proceedings when the court is overwhelmed by an emergency like the ongoing pandemic.That has set off some alarms because of what it could mean for habeas corpus, Politico reports. People have the constitutional right to appear before a judge after arrest and ask for a release, but there are fears the emergency proposal would allow the court to detain people indefinitely without trial during times of crisis.Ocasio-Cortez told Tapper she finds the idea "abhorrent" and said there's a "long history" of governments using emergencies to strip away civil rights. She argued it's particularly important now to keep an eye out for increasingly authoritarian measures. > On CNNSOTU @AOC tells @jaketapper it is "abhorrent" that DOJ proposed to Congress limiting the right to a speedy trial during the coronavirus crisishttps://t.co/S3Q8liJNMD> > -- State of the Union (@CNNSotu) March 22, 2020More stories from theweek.com How bad will the coronavirus crash get? 5 uplifting cartoons about coronavirus heroes Rand Paul is the first senator to test positive for coronavirus

Airlines had made a last ditch plea urging that $29 billion of $58 billion sought in assistance for airlines be in the form of cash grants. The CEOs of 10 U.S. passenger and cargo carriers had said in a letter that without direct cash assistance, "draconian measures" such as furloughs may be necessary.

| Senate GOP stimulus plan would exclude up to 64 million tax filers from full rebate, economist says Posted: 22 Mar 2020 03:57 PM PDT  Senate Republicans unveiled their proposal for sending out cash to Americans amid the COVID-19 coronavirus outbreak, but as is, a large number wouldn't receive the full amounts.Under the economic stimulus plan released Thursday, payments of up to $1,200 would be sent out to individuals and $2,400 to married couples, though the amount phases out for single filers making $75,000 a year and joint filers making $150,000 a year. But The Wall Street Journal notes that "individuals need to have qualifying income of at least $2,500 or income tax liability to get the minimum payment of $600." This is based on their 2018 tax return.Looking at IRS data, economist Kyle Pomerleau estimates that about 64 million filers who earn less than $50,000 won't get the full rebate amount of $1,200 or $2,400, as "for a single filer, income must be at least about $23k to get the full $1,200," and "for married couple filing jointly, AGI must be about $47k to get the full $2,400," he writes. > Rough estimate using IRS data:> > The Structure of the Senate GOP Plan's Rebate would mean that roughly 64 million filers earning less than $50k would not receive the full rebate amount of $1,200/$2,400.> > — Kyle Pomerleau (@kpomerleau) March 20, 2020The Journal notes, though, that some senators from both parties are dissatisfied with this aspect of the plan. Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) said Thursday, "Relief to families in this emergency shouldn't be regressive. Lower-income families shouldn't be penalized." Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) voiced a similar concern, tweeting that "the current bill has promise but it shouldn't give lower earners smaller checks." Romney earlier this week proposed sending a $1,000 check to all American adults.Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), Politico reports, is aiming for an agreement on the stimulus bill by Friday evening and for it to be passed by Monday.More stories from theweek.com How bad will the coronavirus crash get? 5 uplifting cartoons about coronavirus heroes Rand Paul is the first senator to test positive for coronavirus

| Strangely competent Mike Pence finds his 9/11 moment in coronavirus crisis Posted: 21 Mar 2020 12:00 AM PDT  Critics flagged up his anti-science background and questionable record as governor but the vice-president has won praise as the Covid-19 taskforce head * See all our coronavirus coverageHis past record made him seem an odd choice. He remains as servile to Donald Trump as ever. But Mike Pence, the US vice-president, is said to be having "a good war" against the coronavirus outbreak.The vice-presidency is usually regarded as a thankless task but, like Dick Cheney after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, Pence has found himself elevated by wildly unpredictable events.When Trump named him chair of the White House coronavirus taskforce, it led some to wonder whether the president, facing a tough election in November, was looking for an easy scapegoat if everything went wrong.However, Pence, 60, earned early plaudits for his cool head and assured performances in the cacophony of the White House briefing room – probably benefiting from comparison with his volatile boss and two divisive press secretaries. Indeed, this week Trump has reasserted himself as the face of the administration as if to ensure Pence does not claim too much of the limelight."I think he's been very helpful in moderating the president's salesman instinct," said Michael D'Antonio, co-author of The Shadow President: The Truth About Mike Pence. "The president loves to hype whatever he's offering, in this case the message that everything is fine. Pence has done a better job than I expected of honouring the science."Trump's decision to put Pence in charge of the coronavirus effort triggered an outcry. Critics noted that Pence once wrote an article that claimed "despite the hysteria from the political class and the media, smoking doesn't kill". More recently, as governor of Indiana, he failed to act swiftly as HIV spread among drug users, and he has been reluctant to accept the evidence for the climate crisis.But D'Antonio, who wrote a column headlined "Mike Pence is exactly the wrong guy for this job", has been pleasantly surprised. "I thought maybe Trump was using him as the fall guy, but it could be that Mike learned something from those previous experiences in Indiana. They were formative, especially the issue around the HIV outbreak."He's not so cold and detached that he can't imagine people contracted HIV in the time he dithered. This may be a way for him to redeem himself. I think he has the capacity for redemption; I'm not sure the president does."More than a year since the last formal press briefing, Pence, a former talk radio host, has been welcomed as a steady presence at the lectern along with scientists and experts.Jack Shafer, a media columnist at the Politico website, wrote that he "acted less like the 'coronavirus czar' and more like a good old-fashioned White House press secretary. He was calm. He was direct. He was polite in face of shouted, competing questions."David Axelrod, former chief strategist for Barack Obama, tweeted this week: "Other than the incessant fawning, the @VP is a far better briefer than his boss. Tries to stick to facts."This week, for example, as Trump continued to offer upbeat assessments, Pence delivered a dose of realism: "There will be many thousands of Americans that contract the coronavirus," he told National Public Radio. "We fully expect that we will be dealing with the coronavirus in the United States for months."Pence's past experience as a former governor reassured some state governors currently at the frontline of the crisis. He was able to build bridges with Jay Inslee, the governor of Washington state, even as Trump dismissed Inslee as a "snake".D'Antonio added: "He's done very well. He's felt very confident in the president's support because he laid so much of the foundation of praise for Trump in the past. He's established he's always going to give the spotlight to Trump and he's always willing to accept the blame if necessary."He's had his chin out and he's willing to take a knock if one is coming. He's hung in there and let himself be used, and now he's of use. You still cringe as you hear him be so unctuous but you'll notice others are doing it too."Whatever happens in November, Pence is seen as a likely contender for the Republican nomination in 2024. D'Antonio believes he has boosted his chances. "If things go poorly for Trump, Pence stands as the more serious and inspirational leader right now. If people had a problem with Pence, it's often over the idea that he's anti-science. This is doing a lot to counter that."On the internet right now there are mashups that make Trump look like an idiot. But I could put together an advert for Pence in 2024 that would make him look like the hero of the coronavirus crisis."The vice-president's constant praise for Trump, however, incessantly peppering his remarks with the phrase "the president", is likely to win him few friends among Democrats and independents, however.Jeff Greenfield, a political analyst and author, tweeted on Wednesday: "Have some sympathy for Mike Pence. I've learned that there is an electrified belt around his waist and if he speaks for more than 7 seconds without praising the President, a White House aide presses a button and Pence suffers a painful shock."

| Powerful earthquake puts Croatia in a coronavirus conundrum Posted: 22 Mar 2020 08:10 AM PDT  The Croatian capital Zagreb experienced its strongest earthquake in 140 years Sunday, when a 5.3-magnitude tremor was felt in the city and across the Western Balkans.Buildings were damaged, fires broke out, and multiple people were injured, including a teenager who is reportedly in critical condition, Al Jazeera reports. While the challenge of an earthquake on its own is difficult enough, Zagreb is also dealing — like the rest of the world — with the coronavirus pandemic, which left its citizens in a state of confusion and highlighted the fact that the outbreak doesn't prevent other crises from arising and could indeed exacerbate seemingly unrelated problems.Initially, Croatia's Interior Minister Davor Božinović told people to remain on the streets out of concern for any aftershocks, but keep a safe distance from each other to avoid any spread of the virus.Croatia currently has 206 confirmed cases of COVID-19 and one death. "We have two parallel crises that contradict each other," Prime Minister Andrej Plenković said.Božinović echoed Plenković. "There are rules for when there is an earthquake, but when there is an earthquake at the same time when there is a global pandemic, then it's a much more complex situation," he said.
