Bob Menéndez Wants Gun Silencers Outlawed
Senator Bob Menéndez (D-NJ)
on Monday introduced new federal gun safety legislation to ban the importation, sale, manufacture, transfer or possession of gun silencers or suppressors. The Help Empower Americans to Respond (HEAR) Act is in response to a mass shooter in Virginia Beach last month who used a silencer to help kill a dozen innocent people. “I’m not saying that any single piece of legislation can stop every single tragedy, but there’s no question that gun safety laws can save lives,” Menéndez said. The new measure would open a 90-day buyback window for the estimated 1.5 million registered silencers. The buyback would be financed by federal grants. The measure would also include some exceptions for current and former law enforcement personnel. Under current law, individuals who want to own a silencer must obtain approval from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, pass a background check, pay a tax of $200, and notify the chief law enforcement officer of the jurisdiction in which they live. The Supreme Court earlier this month refused to hear a challenge against a lower court ruling finding that silencers are not considered “bearable arms” under the Second Amendment. “The sound of gunshots is what tells you that your life is danger, and that it’s time to run, hide, take cover, call the police and help others save themselves. At the end of the day if you can hear a weapon you might just save a life,” Menéndez said. Congresswoman Bonnie Watson Coleman (D-NJ) is introducing a House version of the bill. More here.

Pramila Jayapal and Ilhan Oman Team with Bernie Sanders to Eliminate Student Debt
Congressional progressives are moving to cancel $1.6 trillion of student loan debt and zero out fees at public institutions of higher education. Congresswomen Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) and Ilhan Omar (D-MN) unveiled landmark legislation Monday that would eliminate tuition and fees at all public four-year colleges and universities, as well as make community colleges, trade schools, and apprenticeship programs tuition- and fee-free for all. The lawmakers’ proposal, which is being led by 2020 presidential candidate Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) in the upper chamber, would also eliminate all $1.6 trillion in student debt for 45 million Americans. “There are currently 45 million Americans with student debt,” said Omar. “That’s 45 million people who are being held back from purchasing their first home; 45 million people who may feel that they can’t start a family; 45 million people who have dreams of opening a business or going into public service, but are held back.” The lawmakers said that under the College for All Act, the average student loan borrower would save about $3,000 a year, and the economy would get a boost of approximately $1 trillion over 10 years. “There is a crisis in higher education at a time when a postsecondary degree is more important than ever,” said Jayapal. “A college degree should be a right for all, not a privilege for the few. What’s more, our student debt crisis is oppressing borrowers of color, shutting them out from the benefits that American higher education can and should offer. ... We are committed to restoring freedom to students, workers and families – freedom from the student debt that is holding them back.” The trio said the estimated $2.2 trillion cost of this bill would be paid for entirely by a tax on Wall Street speculation. Watch the press conference announcing the bill here.

Lucille Roybal-Allard Wants to CARE for Child Farmworkers
As many as 500,000 children -- some as young as seven -- are performing back-breaking and often dangerous work on farms across the country with few protections, no safety training or equipment, and for very low wages. The most they earn in a year is $2000 and they face continued exposure to harmful chemicals. Congresswoman Lucille Roybal-Allard (D-CA) last week reintroduced Children’s Act for Responsible Employment and Farm Safety (CARE) to raise labor standards and protections for farmworker children to the same level set for children in all other occupations. “America is morally obligated to protect the rights, safety, and future of every child in our nation,” said Roybal-Allard. Under current law, children in agriculture as young as 12 can work with virtually no restrictions on the number of hours they spend in the fields outside of the school day, and children performing hazardous agricultural work can be as young as 16. The majority of work-related fatalities for children occur in the agriculture sector and child agricultural workers drop out of school at four times the national dropout rate. The CARE Act would bring the age and work hour standards for children in agriculture up to the standards for children working in all other industries. It would also establish a minimum penalty for child labor violations and increase the maximum civil monetary penalties and maximum criminal penalties for child labor violations. Children would also get greater protections against pesticide exposure in agriculture by raising the labor protections to EPA standards. “If we value our youth, if we support fair and decent treatment for all children, then we must pass the CARE Act and finally ensure fundamental protections for America’s child farmworkers,” Roybal-Allard added.

Black Caucus Members Press Big Tech Companies on Their Outside Counsel’s Diversity Stats
Members of the Congressional Black Caucus asked tech’s biggest companies to disclose their outside counsel diversity hiring practices in a letter sent Friday. Led by Congressman Emanuel Cleaver (D-MO), the letter noted that tech companies’ outside counsel weigh in on “issues deeply affecting this nation’s varied populations” and, therefore, should be as diverse as the populations their decisions impact. The correspondence was sent to the CEOs of the tech industry’s 10 largest companies by revenue: Apple, Amazon, Alphabet, Microsoft, IBM, Dell, Intel, HP, Cisco Systems, and Facebook. HP and Microsoft both have public diversity requirements in place for outside counsel, according to Law.com. The lawmakers pushed CEOs on whether legal department "spend" is held accountable to supplier diversity program requirements and what percent of legal spend annually goes to women- and minority-owned firms. They also asked how companies reward and/or penalize firms for compliance and asked for specific benchmarks companies have set regarding contracting with diverse outside legal teams. The tech industry has come under increasing pressure over the diversity of its workforce as well as bias in facial recognition technology. Cleaver was joined by Representatives Robin Kelly (D-lL), G.K. Butterfield (D-NC), Barbara Lee (D-CA), and Bonnie Watson Coleman (D-NJ). More here.

Nydia Velázquez Aims to Expand Economic Opportunity in Puerto Rico
Small businesses that have realized that sustainability is the key to Puerto Rico’s future. Yet, many of the island’s roughly 44,000 small businesses that haven’t benefited from reconstruction spending are still struggling. Congresswoman Nydia Velázquez (D-NY) last week put forth the Small Business Contracting Credit Act, a bill that would incentivize contracting opportunities for small businesses in Puerto Rico. As the island continues to reel from the devastation of hurricanes Irma and Maria, Velázquez said her bill would increase economic opportunity by spurring investment in local businesses and projects. “Just like on the Mainland, small businesses in Puerto Rico deserve a level playing field to compete for and to win opportunities to do business with the federal government,” said Velázquez. “The Small Business Contracting Credit Act of 2019 is a commonsense measure to build upon current law and offer more opportunities to the small firms that make up the backbone of Puerto Rico’s economy.” About 2,400 businesses closed in the fourth quarter of 2017, more than double the amount that closed during the same period in 2016, U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data show. In total, 5,000 to 8,000 small businesses may have closed permanently since the storms, estimates Nelson Ramírez, president of the Centro Unido de Detallistas, a small business advocacy group in San Juan. The toll could climb to more than 10,000, he said to Bloomberg, if insurers keep dragging their feet, energy costs keep increasing, and large numbers of Puerto Ricans keep relocating to the mainland.

Caucus Focused on Young People Elects New Chairs
The Congressional Future Caucus -- the only bipartisan group of legislators under the age of 45 in Congress focused on next generation leadership and policy solutions -- elected new co-chairs this month. They are Representatives Joe Neguse (D-CO), Anthony González (R-OH), Katie Hill (D-CA), and Lance Gooden (R-TX). The new co-chairs will lead a national movement of young elected officials and attempt to break through partisan gridlock to re-establish political cooperation and create meaningful progress in government. Under its new leadership, the Congressional Future Caucus will focus on issues related to the future of work, higher education, clean energy infrastructure, and affordable housing. “As one of the youngest members of Congress, I am incredibly excited for the opportunity to collaborate with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to lift up the voices of our next generation as a co-chair of the Congressional Future Caucus,” said Neguse. “Across issue areas, from climate change to student loan debt, the voices of our young people are vitally important in every conversation. This is the generation that will have to deal with the reality of climate change if we are not able to act with urgency to reduce carbon emissions, and they are the generation most at risk of seeing voter turnout rates drop if we cannot reform our voting system to ensure our young people can access and participate effectively in our democracy.” González added, "We need policies that will help communities like mine grow and expand in a 21st century economy, especially when it comes to issues like workforce development and student loan debt.” He said he believes this Caucus can help generate new and innovative solutions.

Justin Fairfax Eyes 2021 Gubernatorial Run
Virginia Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax reportedly told the Richmond Times-Dispatch last week that he’s “thinking very seriously” about running for governor in 2021. The embattled Democrat is facing sexual assault allegations from two separate women -- though neither has filed charges and the statute of limitations is fast approaching. Meredith Watson, who attended Duke University with Fairfax, said in February he raped her in 2000. Vanessa Tyson, a California professor, alleges Fairfax forced her to perform oral sex in 2004 when they attended the Democratic National Convention in Boston. Both have for months requested a public hearing before the General Assembly, but Fairfax has sought to block efforts by Republicans to hold the hearing, claiming partisan antics and arguing in favor of law enforcement investigations. “Many people a year ago would not have recognized me, now they really do,” Fairfax said. “People come up to me at gas stations, they say, ‘Hey, we recognize you. We love you. We know what they are saying about you is false.’ ” His comments came during a roundtable with reporters to talk about his recent trip to England, where he traced familial ties with an English family that freed his great-great-great grandfather from slavery in Northern Virginia.

Former Tech Exec Mounts Second Congressional Bid
Democrat Anita Malik is running for Congress in Arizona’s 6th Congressional District in an effort to unseat incumbent Congressman David Schweikert (R-AZ). Regular Beat readers will recall that Malik resigned from her post as COO at ClearVoice in 2017 to focus on her first campaign against Schweikert, which she lost. "It's a good time for us to further close that gap and actually win it this time," Malik said in an interview with The Arizona Republic. "The time I took with (deciding to run again) was always about one thing: Can we unseat David Schweikert? That's the goal here.” A self-employed businesswoman, Malik intends to again run on a decidedly left-leaning platform led by her support for Medicare for All. The 43-year-old, first-generation American previously worked for MicroAge as a business analyst, at The Arizona Republic, and was Deputy Director of ASU’s Donald W. Reynolds National Center for Business Journalism. One of her concerns is campaign finance reform. She says that when money is so prevalent in campaigns, democracy isn’t real anymore. The 1998 Arizona State University grad earned her Master’s from the University of Southern California in 2002. The primary election is on August 25, 2020, when she will face fellow Democrat Hiral Tipirneni. More here.

Trump Supporter Launches GA Congressional Bid
Republican Lisa Noël Babbage has jumped into the race to represent Georgia’s 7th Congressional district. Incumbent Congressman Rob Woodall (R-GA) announced he would not be seeking re-election next year. An avid supporter of the president, Babbage said she’s active in Women for Trump chapters in Georgia and Virginia, and is vowing to donate a “significant portion of her legislative salary back to small businesses and community programs” in the 7th District. She said she is running as a “pro-God, pro-America, pro-life” candidate. She is a former DeKalb County teacher and adjunct professor at Southeastern University. Babbage has served on the Gwinnett County Republican Party’s executive board and the Georgia GOP State Committee. In 2011, she took a three-year leave of absence from teaching to start a nonprofit organization, Maranatha House Ministries, aimed at joining in the fight against homelessness. The 48-year-old Philadelphia native holds a Master’s from Mercer University. Babbage is one of several Republicans that have jumped into the race to replace Woodall. The growing GOP field already includes state Sen. Renee Unterman, Mark Gonsalves, Joe Profit, Ben Bullock, Richard Dean McCormick, and Lynne Homrich. More here.

New Law Allows White Conservative Megachurch to Launch Police Force
An overwhelmingly white megachurch in Alabama with a history of racism plans to start its own police force thanks to a new law permitting the church to do just that. The new law, signed by Republican Governor Kay Ivey, has prompted critics to raise the issue of separation of church and state. Briarwood Presbyterian's conservative congregation is overwhelmingly white, despite the nearby city of Birmingham being two-thirds Black. In 2016, it apologized for "racial sins" that included "the segregation of worshipers by race" as well as "the participation in and defense of white supremacist organizations," among other things. Officials at Briarwood Presbyterian Church said a police force is necessary in order to adequately protect its 4,100 members, including 2,000 students and faculty on its two campuses. More here.

Trump Admin Yet to Give Puerto Rico Emergency Food Stamp Aid
In March, Puerto Rico’s government cut the island’s food stamp program by 25% due to the delay in federal funding even though 43% island’s population still relies on food stamps following Hurricane Maria’s devastation. Yet, two weeks after Congress passed and the president signed the emergency funding into law, the Trump administration has not given Puerto Rico the additional $600 million in food stamp aid. The Washington Post reports that Puerto Rican officials do not expect to be able to spend the emergency food stamp funding until September, most likely, six months after food stamp cuts began for the more than 1 million island residents. Island officials said the Department of Agriculture’s Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) has not clarified what Puerto Rico needs to do to speed up the process and secure the food stamp funding. “The situation is dire, and we are ready to submit either a plan or an amendment to an existing plan as soon as we get directions from FNS in order to speed up the disbursement of the funds,” Glorimar Andújar Matos, secretary of Puerto Rico’s families department, said in a statement. “Given Puerto Rico’s unfair treatment in federal programs, we are pushing to receive and utilize the funds as soon as possible.” But according to WaPo, a spokesman for the FSA claimed the agency has been in contact with the island. Puerto Rico must first propose the aforementioned plan and that Puerto Rico’s government must also follow financial management procedures that could not be implemented until after Congress appropriated the new funding. The delay is not surprising given that the Trump administration initially opposed the additional funding as “excessive and unnecessary.” Donald Trump complained to GOP Senators about the continued aid to the island. And the Post previously reported that Trump in February asked his top advisors for ways to limit federal support to Puerto Rico, believing it is taking money that should be going to the mainland.

NALEO Elects New President and Leadership
The National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials (NALEO) over the weekend elected its new president, officers, and board members. California Insurance Commissioner Ricardo Lara will serve as NALEO’s next president. Lara is the first openly gay NALEO president in the organization’s history. Raised in East Los Angeles by immigrant parents, Lara made history in 2018 by becoming the first openly gay person elected to statewide office in California’s history. The San Diego State University graduate previously served in the California Legislature, representing Assembly District 50 from 2010 to 2012 and Senate District 33 from 2012 to 2018. “As Latino leaders, we are fully aware of the diversity of the American experience and the shared immigrant heritage that defines our nation despite our differences,” said Lara. “I am humbled and honored to lead NALEO during such a historic time for our country, as we develop the next generation of leaders who will put the values of public service ahead of all else.” Other officers elected include Coconino County AZ Supervisor Elizabeth “Liz” Archuleta as VP; Miami-Dade County FL School Board Member Lubby Navarro as treasurer; and Gadsden AZ Elementary School District Board Member Tadeo de la Hoya as secretary.

Oyebode is the founding partner and chairman of the Nigerian law firm Aluko & Oyebode, where he advises corporations on matters relating to energy and natural resources, telecommunications, project finance, and aviation.

NYT Executive Editor Concedes Error in Handling Latest Trump Accusation
The New York Times covered the allegation from advice columnist E. Jean Carroll that Donald Trump raped her -- in its book section. She detailed the alleged assault in her forthcoming memoir, What Do We Need Men For?: A Modest Proposal. Now, the paper’s executive editor, Dean Baquet, is conceding that they were overly cautious in their coverage of the story. “We were playing by rules that didn’t quite apply,” Baquet said. “They’ve allowed us to break major stories, from Bill O’Reilly to Harvey Weinstein. But in this case, it was a different kind of story.” He conceded that the fact that Carroll is a public figure accusing a sitting president “should’ve compelled us to play it bigger.” The paper has been criticized for its coverage of Trump post-election. The Times last year did away with its editorial page temporarily to run a full-page of letters from supporters of Trump, who has constantly assailed the paper for its supposed biases. They also assigned an all-white team of reporters to cover the Trump White House at a time where race is a central discussion point in American politics. And a November 2018 profile of a white supremacist rightfully brought days of condemnation because the piece normalized the subject by describing his everyday life without getting at the heart of his evil beliefs. Media critics and readers alike have expressed disappointment with the Old Gray Lady, but it hasn’t hurt their numbers. Online subscription revenue gained nearly 18% to reach $400 million in 2018. The company generated more than $709 million in digital revenue last year, growing at a pace that suggests it will meet its stated goal of $800 million in digital sales by the end of 2020. More here.
