  • Officials Say Flynn Discussed Sanctions
    Officials say Flynn discussed sanctions The Washington Post February 10, 2017 Friday, Met 2 Edition Copyright 2017 The Washington Post All Rights Reserved Distribution: Every Zone Section: A-SECTION; Pg. A08 Length: 1971 words Byline: Greg Miller;Adam Entous;Ellen Nakashima Body Talks with Russia envoy said to have occurred before Trump took office National security adviser Michael Flynn privately discussed U.S. sanctions against Russia with that country's ambassador to the United States during the month before President Trump took office, contrary to public assertions by Trump officials, current and former U.S. officials said. Flynn's communications with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak were interpreted by some senior U.S. officials as an inappropriate and potentially illegal signal to the Kremlin that it could expect a reprieve from sanctions that were being imposed by the Obama administration in late December to punish Russia for its alleged interference in the 2016 election. Flynn on Wednesday denied that he had discussed sanctions with Kislyak. Asked in an interview whether he had ever done so, he twice said, "No." On Thursday, Flynn, through his spokesman, backed away from the denial. The spokesman said Flynn "indicated that while he had no recollection of discussing sanctions, he couldn't be certain that the topic never came up." Officials said this week that the FBI is continuing to examine Flynn's communications with Kislyak. Several officials emphasized that while sanctions were discussed, they did not see evidence that Flynn had an intent to convey an explicit promise to take action after the inauguration. Flynn's contacts with the ambassador attracted attention within the Obama administration because of the timing.

During this time of soaring unemployment, financial insecurity, and growing hunger, we urge Congress to temporarily increase SNAP benefit levels in the next federal COVID-19 relief package. America’s cities are on the front line of responding to unprecedented disruption to local economies triggered by COVID-19. As mayors, we need every option available to fight hunger and stimulate the economy in our cities. SNAP is a proven solution to both challenges. By providing families with a grocery benefit they can use to purchase food directly, SNAP is a safe, effective way to ensure that low-income children and their families can get the food they need during this unprecedented crisis. While the FFCRA provided USDA with authority to increase emergency SNAP allotments for existing SNAP households to the maximum benefit, the most vulnerable families—roughly 12 million people, including 5 million children—received no additional nutrition assistance because their household already received the maximum SNAP benefit.

Schumer Republican Leader Democratic Leader United States House of Representatives United States Senate Washington, DC 20510 Washington, DC 20510 Dear Speaker Pelosi, Leader McCarthy, Leader McConnell and Leader Schumer: RE: Urgent Action Needed on President-Elect Biden’s American Rescue Plan On behalf of The United States Conference of Mayors, we urge you to take immediate action on comprehensive coronavirus relief legislation, including providing direct fiscal assistance to all cities, which is long overdue. President-elect Biden’s American Rescue Plan contains such assistance as part of an aggressive strategy to contain the virus, increase access to life-saving vaccines, and create a foundation for sustainable and inclusive recovery. American cities and our essential workers have been serving at the frontlines of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic for nearly a year. We have been charged with executing herculean public health efforts and an unprecedented emergency response. Despite immense fiscal pressure, your local government partners oversaw those efforts, while trying to maintain essential services and increase our internal capacity to provide support for residents and businesses who have been crippled by a tanking economy. And yet, as the economic engines of our country, local governments will be relied upon to lead the long- term economic recovery our nation so desperately needs, even as, with few exceptions, cities have been largely left without direct federal assistance.

  • Administration of Donald J. Trump, 2020 Remarks in a Teleconference
    Administration of Donald J. Trump, 2020 Remarks in a Teleconference With Banking Industry Leaders on Financial Assistance to Small Businesses and an Exchange With Reporters April 7, 2020 The President. Well, thank you very much. And thank you, everybody, for being with us. It's been an incredible period of time for the banking industry and all that you're doing for small business. Steve is telling me that it's been literally record-setting, the amount of money that's been done. And if you want, I'll start all over again. I guess they didn't have the mic on. So I'll start all over again. Why not? But I want to thank everybody for being here. It is a great tribute to the banking business. The money that's been done and the money that's been essentially loaned—these are great loans for the banks, and they're great loans for small business, and we appreciate it. We're looking forward to speaking with the top CEOs from the banking industry and finance industry. Some of you I know very well and great relationships with. You do an incredible job. Respected all over the world. You're the biggest and the best. And we're meeting to further deepen our partnership to help American families, workers, and small businesses during the pandemic, which is something that nobody ever dreamed of. You know, I say it, and I say it a lot: We had the greatest economy in history, the greatest economy that we've ever had, the greatest economy that anybody has ever had.

  • July 8, 2019 Governor Gavin Newsom Senate President Pro Tem Toni
    July 8, 2019 Governor Gavin Newsom Senate President Pro Tem Toni Atkins Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon RE: AB 1054 (Holden) – Wildfires – CONCERNS and Request for Amendments Dear Governor Newsom, President Pro Tem Atkins, and Speaker Rendon: As mayors of three of the state’s largest cities, we believe local governments can and should play a leading role in ensuring that our electricity is safe, reliable, affordable, and clean. We support your efforts to ensure that the victims of the recent devastating California wildfires are made whole and that the state government does everything it can to reduce the likelihood and severity of future wildfires. We respectfully express our significant concerns about the July 5 version of AB 1054 (Holden), which would expand the California Public Utilities Commission’s (CPUC’s) authority over local government decision-making when considering the acquisition of assets from an electrical corporation. This proposed expansion of CPUC authority is unnecessary to achieve the goals of the bill and would not meaningfully address the risk of future catastrophic wildfires. Additionally, this section of the bill would set a dangerous precedent by limiting local government autonomy over its own employee relationships established through locally-negotiated collective bargaining agreements. To our knowledge, this specific language was added to the bill on July 5, was not circulated to potentially impacted stakeholders, including in our cities, and had not been publicly discussed prior to being amended into the bill. AB 1054 would amend Public Utilities Code (PUC) Sections 854 and 854.2 to require a “voluntary or involuntary change in ownership of assets from an electrical or gas corporation to ownership by a public entity” to first secure authorization to do so from the CPUC.

  • The Policies Kushner Should Push
    Al-Shabaka Policy Memo THE POLICIES KUSHNER SHOULD PUSH FOR By Zaha Hassan Jared Kushner, President Trump’s son-in-law and senior advisor, as well as envoy Jason Greenblatt and deputy national security advisor for strategy Dina Powell, are in Israel and Palestine today in an attempt to restart the stalled Israeli-Palestinian “peace process.” According to the White House, their discussions with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas will in part focus on economic steps that the parties believe help create conditions for peace. Yet more economic development initiatives are not a substitute for political change, particularly when tensions are seething in the West Bank, including Jerusalem, and when Gaza is facing a politically constructed humanitarian catastrophe. “Economic development Despite Trump’s early enthusiasm to reach a peace deal, it is now anyone’s guess whether the US intends to advance initiatives are not a specific terms of reference for a final status agreement. Dozens of meetings have already been held between Greenblatt substitute for political and the two sides, yet the administration is still reluctant to publicly state its unequivocal support for a settlement freeze change.” and its commitment to the two-state framework. With reports surfacing that Netanyahu recommended to Trump that the large blocs of Israeli settlement-colonies in the West Bank be annexed to Israel in exchange for Israel ceding Wadi Ara, territory heavily populated with Palestinian citizens of Israel, to the Palestinian Authority, the time is now for Trump’s Middle East team to speak loud and clear about the role it intends to play in negotiations.
