The White House Office of Management and Budget engaged in a “pattern of abuse” of its authority and the law in holding up security assistance to Ukraine, the House Budget Committee said in a report released Tuesday. In findings based on documents turned over by OMB, the Democratic-led panel cites unusual steps the agency took over the summer as it moved to hold up nearly $400 million in State Department and Pentagon funds for Ukraine that had already been approved by Congress. | It also said OMB’s actions limited agencies’ ability to spend congressionally approved funds by the end of the fiscal year. The latter move would be a violation of the Impoundment Control Act of 1974, which was passed in response to actions by President Richard M. Nixon and limits the ability of the executive branch to delay or cancel funds approved by Congress, the Budget Committee said.

‘There’s something terribly wrong’: Americans are dying young at alarming rates | Death rates from suicide, drug overdoses, liver disease and dozens of other causes have been rising over the past decade for young and middle-aged adults, driving down overall life expectancy in the United States for three consecutive years, according to a strikingly bleak study published Tuesday that looked at the past six decades of mortality data. The report, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, was immediately hailed by outside researchers for its comprehensive treatment of a still-enigmatic trend: the reversal of historical patterns in longevity. Despite spending more on health care than any other country, the United States has seen increasing mortality and falling life expectancy for people ages 25 to 64, who should be in the prime of their lives. In contrast, other wealthy nations have generally experienced continued progress in extending longevity. Although earlier research emphasized rising mortality among non-Hispanic whites in the U.S., the broad trend detailed in this study cuts across gender, racial and ethnic lines. By age group, the highest relative jump in death rates from 2010 to 2017 — 29 percent — has been among people ages 25 to 34. | Obesity is a significant part of the story. The average woman in America today weighs as much as the average man half a century ago, and men now weigh about 30 pounds more. Most people in the United States are overweight — an estimated 71.6 percent of the population ages 20 and older, according to the CDC. That figure includes the 39.8 percent who are obese, defined as having a body mass index of 30 or higher in adults (18.5 to 25 is the normal range). Obesity is also rising in children; nearly 19 percent of the population ages 2 to 19 is obese. “These kids are acquiring obesity in their early teen years, sometimes under the age of 10,” said S. Jay Olshansky, a professor of public health at the University of Illinois at Chicago. “When they get up into their 20s, 30s and 40s, they’re carrying the risk factors of obesity that were acquired when they were children. We didn’t see that in previous generations.”

Shitstain Sanders is parroting it right now....This is why everyone who pushed those conspiracy nonsense are partially responsible for Trump, even if they are one of the 74% who ended up voting for Hillary. Their individual votes (typically from deep blue states) don't balance out all the less-engaged voters their propaganda helped manipulate in swing states. Bernie is not a Democrat, his values don't align with the Democratic party. If he gets the nomination, he would have essentially usurped the Democratic party, just like Trump usurped the Republican party. This would destroy the Democratic party and devalue it's values and the meaning up being a Democrat, just like how Trump tuned conservatives and Republicans into a joke even if they are against Trump as long as the remain Republican they'll be party over country.

1.5C climate target slipping out of reach: "Unless the world begins to rapidly reduce greenhouse gas emissions the 1.5C goal of the Paris Agreement “will slip out of reach,” according to the latest UN Environment Programme (UNEP) emissions gap report." | Global greenhouse gas emissions have grown by 1.5 percent every year over the last decade, according to the annual assessment, the Emissions Gap Report, which is produced by the United Nations Environment Program. The opposite must happen if the world is to avoid the worst effects of climate change, including more intense droughts, stronger storms and widespread food insecurity by midcentury. To stay within relatively safe limits, emissions must decline sharply, by 7.6 percent every year, between 2020 and 2030, the report warned.

Trump's top border official broke FBI rules to fund happy hours | Trump's top border official broke federal ethics rules in a previous job by seeking sponsors to buy alcohol and fancy food for FBI happy hours, according to a watchdog report exclusively obtained by The Chronicle. Mark Morgan, acting commissioner of the Customs and Border Protection agency, continued asking the outside entities to pay for the social events even after being warned it was against federal rules, the Justice Department's inspector general found.
The previously unreported finding raises questions about the Trump administration's vetting process for top officials. Although Morgan's role is typically subject to Senate confirmation, Trump has not nominated him for the job. That has circumvented the traditional review by the Senate — leaving it unclear whether the ethical lapse was ever known to the administration.

You accuse Kentucky Democrats of fraudulently registering your non-citizen husband to vote but you accidentally implicated him in a crime because he registered himself illegally. | Lindeman said that she is not a Democrat, and that she had her name removed from the rolls when she and her husband left the state years ago. Indeed, she said her husband is not a U.S. citizen and should not have been on any voting roll. The claims gained no small degree of exposure. Lindeman’s dozens of tweets on the matter were retweeted hundreds of times. InfoWars, the conspiracy theory website, repeated her claims in multiple articles over a series of days. The website of the far-right activist Laura Loomer featured the story prominently. The Kentucky State Board of Elections received calls from alarmed voters, all while incumbent Republican Gov. Matt Bevin — who’d lost the election — talked darkly, but without specifics, about “irregularities” on Election Day. ProPublica decided to check out Lindeman’s claims, and none add up, falling apart in the face of routine checks of public records. Still, experts say the disinformation spread by Lindeman in Kentucky and the virality and confusion that ensued is a peek into what could befall voters in 2020, when similar techniques are expected to be part of the arsenal of both the right and the left. Amy Cohen, the executive director of the National Association of State Election Directors, said that the spread of misinformation and disinformation are “serious concerns going into 2020 because they undermine confidence in the election process.” Her organization, which represents elections directors from across the country, works closely with Twitter and other social media platforms to report similar issues. Debunking Lindeman’s claims starts with her and her husband’s voter registration information, which are public records. Their Kentucky registration forms show that both checked the box for Democrat when they registered to vote in Fayette County in 2008. Her husband, who Lindeman claims is not a citizen, also signed the form in 2008, which requires signers to attest they are a U.S. citizen. Lying on the form carries a penalty of fines or jail time of up to 12 months. The couple, records show, have never removed themselves from the rolls or changed their registration status until Nov. 8 of this year, which is when she began tweeting. Neither Lindeman nor her husband appears to have voted in the last five years. Records also show that Lindeman was a registered Democrat in Florida, where her registration status is currently inactive. | Online, someone who routinely retweeted posts from the Democratic Socialists of America claimed to have shredded hundreds of ballots filed by mail by Republicans. State officials say there is no evidence that this took place. Twitter terminated the person’s account, but screenshots of the tweet went viral and became a talking point for conservative commentators.
In an emailed exchange with Jared Dearing, the executive director of the Kentucky State Board of Elections, and Cohen, Twitter declined to take down the screenshots. The company claimed they did not violate Twitter’s rules against misleading information. Dearing said that Kentucky is ready to combat misinformation and disinformation. “We remain hopeful social media platforms will also take a responsible stance in taking these posts down as they are identified, and do so in a timely and meaningful manner,” he said. Gideon Blocq, the co-founder and CEO of VineSight, a company that monitors the spread of misinformation online, said he watched as the tweet spread through thousands of bots. “This says something about what’s to come in the near future,” he said, saying that while Bevin did not specifically repeat the information in this tweet in any of his announcements or press conferences, the “similarity of the two storylines made this a more effective campaign.” In the days after the election, Citizens for Election Integrity, a right-wing organization based in Minnesota, held a news conference alleging mischief on the part of Democrats. Bevin publicly encouraged people and news organizations to attend.

Good: A new tenant protection law enacted by the state may already be paying off for tens of thousands of New York City renters, as the number of eviction cases filed by landl-rds has plummeted. The decline was steepest for the most common type of cases, those brought by landl-rds against tenants who fell behind on rent payments, according to a Wall Street Journal analysis of court data. The new law eliminated certain incentives for landl-rds to turn over rent-regulated apartments because they could no longer significantly raise rents on the next tenants, or remove most apartments from city rent rules. As a result, New York landl-rds—not known for their patience when it comes to late rent checks—appear to be giving tenants more time, lawyers said. New eviction cases against city tenants for nonpayment of rent is down by more than 35,000 since the law was signed on June 14, compared with the same period in 2018, a drop of 46%, according to The Wall Street Journal’s analysis. These shifts were part of a major upheaval in housing court as judges and lawyers rushed to adapt to dozens of changes in a 74-page bill, known as the Housing Stability and Tenant Protection Act of 2019, passed by Democratic-controlled legislature and signed by Gov. Andrew Cuomo. | The new law was designed to give tenants more legal protections and preserve affordable housing. As a result, both landl-rd and tenant lawyers expected owners to drop some more complex cases known as “holdovers” in which landl-rds try to evict tenants for violating terms of their leases.
