  • USPS Admin. Appeal
    August 4, 2020 BY EMAIL: [email protected] General Counsel United States Postal Service 475 L’Enfant Plaza, S.W. Washington, D.C. 20260 Re: Appeal of FOIA Request No. 2020-FPRO-01322 Dear General Counsel: Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (“CREW”) hereby appeals the initial determination by the United States Postal Service (“USPS”) on a portion of CREW’s request under the Freedom of Information Act (“FOIA”) for records concerning voting by mail in the upcoming presidential election and the replacement of the Postmaster General. As set forth below, the USPS failed to conduct a search reasonably designed to uncover all responsive documents, as evidenced by the limited number of responsive records USPS claims to have uncovered. Further, the USPS improperly relied on FOIA Exemption 5 to withhold nearly the entire contents of the disclosed records. On June 16, 2020, CREW submitted to the Postal Service by email a FOIA request for ten categories of records. First, CREW requested copies of any and all briefing materials and or documents created by USPS employees prepared for or presented to Louis DeJoy, Postmaster General of the United States, referring or relating to voting by mail (“item 1”). Second, CREW requested any and all briefing materials and or documents created by USPS employees prepared for or presented to Postmaster General of the United States Megan Brennan referring or relating to voting by mail (“item 2”). Third, CREW requested any and all briefing materials or documents, including testimony, or responses to questions for the record, created by USPS employees prepared for or presented to any United States Senator, member of the United States House of Representatives, or congressional staff, referring or relating to voting by mail (“item 3”).

  • CAPITOL NEWS UPDATE January 8, 2021
    MCALVEY MERCHANT & ASSOCIATES CAPITOL NEWS UPDATE January 8, 2021 CAPITOL NEWS UPDATE WEEK OF JANUARY 4, 2021 Integrity, Individual Attention. Precision Strategy. Proven Results WHITMER ENCOURAGES SCHOOLS TO OFFER IN-PERSON INSTRUCTION Gov. Gretchen Whitmer announced today that she is encouraging schools to begin offering some in- person instruction by March 1, and that it is now safe for K-12 students to return to classrooms. The announcement comes after Whitmer’s other announcement on Wednesday that Michigan will have opportunities for more people to get the COVID-19 Vaccine, including residents who are over the age of 65, teachers, and front-line workers. Whitmer said she plans to include leaving the decision on reopening to local districts but requesting that districts provide some in-person instruction each week, along with maintaining safety protocols. Schools that do not offer in-person learning, however, will not be penalized. Some schools in Michigan have only offered online instruction since March 15, 2020. In addition, the governor halted in person instruction at high schools on Nov. 15, then lifted this requirement before the Christmas break. SENATE FISCAL AGENCY PROJECTING HEALTHIER BUDGET THAN PROJECTED A report released by the Senate Fiscal Agency on Wednesday shows that Michigan has about $1.4 billion more in its budget than projected in August. In addition, the August estimates represented a revision that was $2.3 billion more than the May estimates. Michigan ended 2020 with $2.5 billion balance in the general fund, and $1.2 billion in the School Aid Fund, which is $811 million better than the August estimates.

  • All the President's Henchmen
    5/8/2020 Opinion | All the President’s Henchmen - The New York Times https://nyti.ms/2pa9Ci7 All the President’s Henchmen Mr. Trump has assembled a colorful cast of characters who are having trouble keeping their stories straight. By Michelle Cottle Ms. Cottle is a member of the editorial board. Oct. 11, 2019 It has often been noted that President Trump holds a vision of his job more befitting a Latin American caudillo than the leader of the world’s oldest democracy. His geopolitical idols trend toward the autocratic — Kim Jong-un, Rodrigo Duterte, Mohammed bin Salman, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Vladimir Putin. He suffers delusions of grandeur, proclaiming himself “the Chosen One” and having “great and unmatched wisdom.” He accuses those who challenge him of treason, and he regularly wipes his feet on the constitutional principle of checks and balances. Witness the over-the-top letter his White House counsel, Pat Cipollone, sent House Democrats this week, the gist of which was: Your impeachment investigation is illegitimate, and we will not participate. As if this were the president’s prerogative. Legal experts mostly dismissed the letter as a political stunt. Gregg Nunziata, a former counsel to Senator Marco Rubio, Republican of Florida, called it “bananas.” Walter Shaub, who resigned as head of the Office of Government Ethics in 2017 over the administration’s glaring lack of ethics, said that it “mistakes Trump for a king.” Fortunately, Mr. Trump’s dreams of dominance tend to bump up against the hard realities of incompetence — his and that of his cronies. It has long been apparent that the president has a peculiar eye for talent.

Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear Mr. Mulvaney: I am writing to request an explanation for why the White House has failed to answer the questions raised in a letter I sent more than three months ago seeking information about troubling reports that President Donald Trump may have violated the Presidential Records Act by confiscating and destroying documents to keep secret the details of his meetings with Russian Federation President Vladimir Putin. I sent this letter on February 21, 2019, with Rep. Eliot Engel, the Chairman of the Committee on Foreign Affairs, and Rep. Adam Schiff, the Chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, and we requested answers to five specific questions by March 1, 2019. Our letter did not request copies of these documents, but instead sought information about their possession, custody, and control in compliance with federal law. 1 As we wrote in our letter, the Presidential Records Act makes clear that presidential records belong to the American people and that President Trump is required to preserve those records: Through the implementation of records management controls and other necessary actions, the President shall take all such steps as may be necessary to assure that the activities, deliberations, decisions, and policies that reflect the performance of the President's constitutional, statutory, or other official or ceremonial duties are adequately documented and that such records are preserved and maintained as Presidential records pursuant to the requirements of this section and other provisions oflaw.2 1 Letter from Chairman Elijah E.

  • World War III Background Guide.Pdf
    Chair’s Letter Dear Delegates, We are delighted to welcome you to the World War III fantasy committee at the third annual Kent School Model United Nations Conference. Your chairs for this committee are Sarah Smith and Nebeeka Saha. This committee deals with the aftermath of a possible World War III. With the way that the United States has interacted with other countries recently, many citizens are concerned of the possibilities of an uprising war with the rising power, China. This is mainly due to the trade war involving the United States and China. As two large and powerful countries, the United States and China seem unlikely to go to war without involving allies. Moreover, not only is the war itself important for this committee, but so is the aftermath. With the shock of a bomb at the White House and the death of key government leaders, delegates will be asked to not only resolve this crisis, but also investigate the origins of this disaster, all the while maintaining their position. Since this committee is mostly fiction, we are here to challenge your critical and creative thinking. We do ask that you thoroughly read through this background guide and further research the position that you have been given. This allows delegates to begin their in depth research on who they will be representing within the our committee’s discussions. Make sure that any notes or information you have on your position are printed beforehand, as no electronics are permitted within the committee room. If you have trouble following anything in the discussion you may ask your dias for help.
