The report raises serious concerns about the Department’s Office of Intelligence and Analysis (I&A) which require a response from Department leadership. The report details a series of problems related to the legality of I&A operations, I&A’s relationships with other federal as well as state and local authorities, the allocation of resources and personnel, management and the internal climate at I&A, and accountability. We request that the Department provide the Congress an explanation of how it will address each of these issues, the extent to which the Department accepts and intends to implement the recommendations included in the report, and any additional reforms the Department may support.

  • Fact Sheet: Senator Marco Rubio’S Republican Address to the Nation
    FACT SHEET: SENATOR MARCO RUBIO’S REPUBLICAN ADDRESS TO THE NATION Rubio: “Economic growth is the best way to help the middle class. … I hope the President will abandon his obsession with raising taxes and instead work with us to achieve real growth in our economy.” RUBIO: LIMITED GOVERNMENT & FREE ENTERPRISE – NOT BIG GOVERNMENT – WILL STRENGTHEN AMERICA’S MIDDLE CLASS Rubio: “Presidents in both parties – from John F. Kennedy to Ronald Reagan – have known that our free enterprise economy is the source of our middle class prosperity. Enacted After His Death, Kennedy’s Tax Relief Cut The Top Marginal Rate To 70% From 91%. The Economy Grew 5.5%, Unemployment Dropped To 3.8% & The Annual Deficit Shrank From $7 Billion To $1 Billion. Rubio: “This idea – that our problems were caused by a government that was too small – it’s just not true. In fact, a major cause of our recent downturn was a housing crisis created by reckless government policies.” Forbes: “There is very little doubt that the underlying cause of the current credit crisis was a housing bubble. But the collapse of the bubble would not have led to a worldwide recession and credit crisis if almost 40% of all U.S. mortgages--25 million loans--were not of the low quality known as subprime or Alt-A. These loans were made to borrowers with blemished credit, or involved low or no down payments, negative amortization and limited documentation of income. The loans’ unprecedentedly high rates of default are what is driving down housing prices and weakening the financial system.

  • How Jeb Bush's Allies Tried — and Failed — to Stop Marco Rubio
    News Buzz Life Quizzes Videos More Get Our App! Clay Rodery for BuzzFeed News Whisper Campaigns and “Zipper Problems”: How Jeb Bush’s Allies Tried — and Failed — to Stop Marco Rubio An adaption from the forthcoming book, The Wilderness: Deep Inside the Republican Party’s Combative, Contentious, Chaotic Quest to Take Back the White House. McKay Coppins BuzzFeed News Reporter posted on Nov. 29, 2015, at 8:47 p.m. On the night of the 2010 midterm elections, a portly, silver­haired Jeb Bush stood on a stage in the courtyard of Miami’s luxe Biltmore Hotel, appearing to choke back tears. The beloved former governor of Florida was there to introduce the young conservative insurgent who had just pulled off a remarkable underdog victory in the U.S. Senate race. “Bushes get emotional, so I’m gonna try my hardest,” Jeb told the ecstatic crowd of Republicans. “My wife told me, ‘Don’t cry, don’t cry.’ But Marco Rubio makes me cry for joy!” At the time, it looked like the culmination of a sturdy alliance and deep friendship — the proud mentor presenting his protege. Five years later, however, the two men are locked in a fight for the Republican presidential nomination, and recent headlines suggest the relationship has soured. According to the New York Times, Bush’s super PAC has threatened to spend $20 million in a blitz of negative ads intended “to damage … Rubio’s reputation and halt his sudden ascent in the polls.” And last month, an internal document leaked detailing the Bush campaign’s efforts to cast Rubio as “a risky bet” for donors.

  • December 4, 2020 the Honorable Mitch Mcconnell the Honorable
    December 4, 2020 The Honorable Mitch McConnell The Honorable Charles Schumer Majority Leader Minority Leader United States Senate United States Senate Washington, DC 20510 Washington, DC 20510 Dear Leaders McConnell and Schumer: We write to express our support for addressing upcoming physician payment cuts in ongoing legislative negotiations. We believe these cuts will further strain our health care system, which is already stressed by the COVID-19 pandemic, and jeopardize patient access to medically necessary services over the long-term. On December 1, 2020, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services finalized the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule for 2021. The fee schedule includes several positive attributes, including improvements for maternity care and much-needed payment increases for physicians delivering primary and other essential outpatient and office-based care to some of our nation’s most vulnerable patients. These changes should take effect on January 1, 2021, as planned. However, a statutory budget neutrality rule requires that any increases in Medicare payments for these office visits, also known as evaluation and management (E/M) services, must be offset by corresponding decreases. As a result, many practitioners including surgeons, specialists, therapists and others face substantial cuts beginning on January 1, 2021, if Congress does not take action to provide relief. Health care professionals across the spectrum are reeling from the effects of the COVID-19 emergency as they continue to serve patients during this global pandemic. The payment cuts finalized by CMS would pose a threat to providers and their patients under any circumstances, but during a pandemic the impact is even more profound.

The Monmouth University Poll of likely South Carolina voters also found that Marco Rubio, who places third overall, is the clear favorite from the so- called “establishment” pack of candidates. However, his so-called “generational appeal” seems to be appealing to a different generation than expected. Among voters likely to participate in South Carolina’s Republican primary in February, 28% support Ben Carson and 27% support Donald Trump. Marco Rubio places third at 11%, followed by Ted Cruz (9%) and Jeb Bush (7%). None of the other ten candidates in the field scores higher than 2%. Monmouth’s prior South Carolina poll was conducted in late August just as Carson had started to surge after the first debate. In that poll, Trump led Carson by 30% to 15%. Since then, Trump’s support has held fairly steady, trailing off by only 3 points, while Carson’s support has nearly doubled. Rubio’s share of the vote has grown by 5 points and the Cruz vote has increased by 4 points.

  • The 2016 Republican Primary Campaign on Twitter
    THE 2016 REPUBLICAN PRIMARY CAMPAIGN ON TWITTER: ISSUES AND IDEOLOGICAL POSITIONING FOR THE PROFILES OF BEN CARSON, TED CRUZ, MARCO RUBIO, AND DONALD TRUMP La campaña republicana en Twitter: tematización y posicionamiento ideológico en los perfiles de Ben Carson, Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio y Donald Trump María Galán-García Nota: Este artículo se puede leer en español en: https://recyt.fecyt.es/index.php/EPI/article/view/60009 María Galán-García earned her PhD in Communication from the University of Valencia. Her dis- sertation examined the construction of Confederate propaganda speech during the American Civil War (1861-1865) and its effects on the Southern people. In addition to propaganda, her research interests include the analysis of political discourse and the use of new technologies of information and communication within this field. http://orcid.org/0000-0001-8649-4336 Universitat de València Departamento de Teoría de los Lenguajes y Ciencias de la Comunicación Avda. Blasco Ibáñez, 32. 46010 València, Spain [email protected] Abstract The 2016 Republican primaries, marked by Trump’s controversial remarks and the dialectical confrontations between con- tenders, were mirrored on Twitter. This social network became the arena in which the candidates were able to express their views on different aspects and share with their potential voters both their concerns and the issues that would be the core of their electoral program if they were elected as the republican nominee. This paper analyzes the tweets published by the four best positioned candidates in the Iowa polls (Ben Carson, Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio and Donald Trump), whose Caucus marks the beginning of the presidential primaries and whose results usually indicate how the presidential race is going to evolve, in the months prior to the beginning of the process and examines the main elements on which their respective cam- paigns were based and the ideological lines traced by each one on key issues for the Republican electorate, among other issues.
