The ghost of harassment past has now claimed the professional life of NBC’s Today Show host Matt Lauer. Savannah Guthrie and Hoda Kotb broke the news this morning that the long-time face of the network has been fired. “On Monday night, we received a detailed complaint from a colleague about inappropriate sexual behavior in the workplace by Matt Lauer,” Andrew Lack, the NBC News President, said in a memo. Back on Capitol Hill, the House will vote today on a rule change requiring all members and staff to receive training to prevent and address sexual harassment. The House Judiciary Committee will consider two gun measures today, including a vote on a bill that allows gun owners with permits to carry concealed weapons reciprocity to travel to other states with their firearms. Republicans are increasingly optimistic about the fate of their tax bill after the Senate Budget Committee voted along party lines yesterday to advance the $1.5 trillion package. Also, efforts to avert a government shutdown are not proving fruitful as Dem leaders Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi gave Trump the deuces (and, perhaps, another finger as well), opting to not meet at the White House on the heels of one of 45’s tweets. This morning, Trump is retweeting several videos allegedly depicting physical attacks carried out by Muslims, originally posted by the deputy leader of Britain First, a far-right political party that opposes immigration. We cannot underscore enough the weight the words of the President of the Unites States carries on the world stage -- even on Twitter. No one wants to see Twitter fingers turn to trigger fingers. But it may happen. Pyongyang said today that it had successfully tested a missile that could deliver nuclear warheads anywhere in the continental U.S. Trump said “we will handle” the situation. Defense Secretary Jim Mattis noted that the rocket “went higher, frankly, than any previous shot they’ve taken.” POTUS45 remains very busy weighing a campaign trip for accused pedophile Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore, tweeting about fake news, resurfacing his Barack Obama birther claims, and questioning the authenticity of the Access Hollywood tapes. Here’s what we’ve got this Wednesday….

Grijalva Paid Out $48K to Settle Workplace Dispute
Congressman Raúl Grijalva (D-AZ) gave a female staffer a $48,395 "severance package" after she alleged the Congressman was often drunk and created a hostile work environment, and threatened to sue. She dropped the issue after the House Employment Counsel’s office negotiated to give her the settlement, which was equivalent to five months salary. She had worked for Grijalva for three months. “On the advice of House Employment Counsel, I provided a severance package to a former employee who resigned. The severance did not involve the Office of Compliance and at no time was any allegation of sexual harassment made, and no sexual harassment occurred,” Grijalva said in an email to The Washington Times.

CBC Members Aim to Manage Graceful Exit for Conyers, While Chair Says Not His Decision to Make
According to CNN’s Manu Raju, some members of the Congressional Black Caucus are in talks to get Congressman John Conyers (D-MI) to step down amid allegations of sexual misconduct. Earlier this month, Congressman Greg Meeks (D-NY) became the first to call for Conyers’ resignation. According to CNN, CBC members want Conyers to make a graceful exit as three former staffers have come forward accusing the Congressman of mistreating them. A CBC staffer told CNN that "there is a feeling among some of our members that we need to protect his legacy," noting that Conyers is a founding member of the group and was a leading figure in the civil rights movement. However, The Hill reports that CBC Chair Congressman Cedric Richmond (D-LA) will not press Conyers to step down. “That’s a personal decision for him and his family,” Richmond told reporters in the Capitol after votes, before stepping into an elevator. Congressman Bennie Thompson (D-MS) echoed those sentiments saying, "I don’t think we should rush to judgment. It’s his decision to make.” More here.

Barack Obama’s Good News in the Fight Against HIV/AIDS
Former President Barack Obama brought us some good news yesterday. In a taped video message during Jimmy Kimmel’s third-annual (RED) Shopathon, where Kimmel devotes his show to promoting HIV/AIDS awareness, Obama lauded the work being done by those fighting the disease and the progress made in the last few years to treat it. “I know we live in a time when cable news and our Twitter feeds can make it feel like cynicism is everywhere,” said Obama. “But when it comes to the fight against HIV/AIDS there is some genuinely good news to share. For the first time in history, more than half of all people living with the virus are on life-saving medication. Since the peak of the virus, AIDS related deaths have been cut in half.” After commenting on the accomplishments of those fighting HIV/AIDS, Obama finished the video with a bit of levity by offering those who donate a chance to pilot Air Force One or view secret government files on aliens -- before being reminded that he can’t offer those types of perks anymore. The video aired as part of the lead-up to Friday’s World AIDS Day 2017. Watch it here.

Michelle Obama Speaks to Youth in Canada
Former First Lady Michelle Obama spoke in Canada yesterday about education and equality for girls and women around the world at an event hosted by the Economic Club of Canada and Plan International Canada. Dozens of ticket holders, mostly women, filled the atrium of Ryerson University in anticipation of Obama’s appearance Tuesday morning. FLOTUS44 participated in a fireside-chat-style conversation at the event that was closed to the media. Obama’s message to the young people was that they should embrace their story and experiences and be as authentic as possible. She encouraged attendees to “break the cycle of doubt.” While 3,000 tickets were sold, half were donated to youths between the ages of 14 and 24. Plan International Canada also ran an ambassador challenge, a contest that gave two youths VIP access to the event and to Obama herself. More here.

Essence Will Not be Sold
According to Richard Prince’s Journal-isms, the Essence magazine brand will not be part of the historic, nearly $3 billion sale of Time Inc. to the Meredith Corp. Despite the agreement to sell “all outstanding shares of Time Inc.,” publisher of such titles as TIME, Sports Illustrated, and People to Meredith, Essence would not be included, according to a spokesperson. Some speculate that the Essence Festival is the golden egg that executives don’t want to see go. In 2015, Joe Ripp, then CEO of Time Inc., said in an interview that the Essence Festival in New Orleans earned more money than the magazine made in a year. Meredith is owner of Family Circle, Better Homes and Gardens, and AllRecipes. More here.

Gutiérrez Upends Chicago Politics and Knights a Successor
Announcing yesterday that he will not seek re-election in 2018, Congressman Luis Gutiérrez (D-IL) threw his weight behind former Chicago mayoral candidate and current Cook County Board Commissioner Jesús “Chuy” García as his replacement, upending the political hierarchy in local Chicago politics. Gutiérrez and García are longtime political allies. They both rose to political prominence working with Chicago Mayor Harold Washington in the 1980s. García, who was at the Congressman’s side during the announcement, had faced off with Barack Obama alumnus Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel in the 2015 mayoral contest, sparking the first-ever runoff in the city -- Gutiérrez endorsed Emanuel. García insisted there was no quid pro quo in the Congressman’s endorsement. He also declared he would not support Emanuel for Mayor in 2019. García, who was born in Mexico, promised he would continue fighting for immigration in Congress. The University of Illinois grad was elected the first Illinois state Senator of Mexican descent in 1992 and was elected to the Cook County Board in 2010. As for Gutiérrez, he ruled out running for Mayor of Chicago and Governor of Illinois or Puerto Rico but said he could not commit to avoiding political bids in the future. Watch the announcement here.

Former Gutiérrez Staffer Seeks Seat
Though retiring Congressman Luis Gutiérrez (D-IL) endorsed Cook County Board Commissioner Jesús “Chuy” García as his replacement, that did stop Chicago Alderman Carlos Ramírez-Rosa, a former Gutiérrez staffer, from declaring his candidacy. Elected at the age of 26 in February 2015, the University of Illinois grad is the city's youngest Alderman. Prior to his election to the Chicago City Council, he worked as a community organizer with the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights, in addition to his work as a congressional aide to Gutiérrez. He is a member of the Chicago City Council's Progressive Caucus and was elected to serve as a delegate to the 2016 DNC as a Bernie Sanders supporter. He met with supporters Tuesday afternoon to get petitions for his candidacy going. More here.

Miami GOP Candidate Ends Congressional Bid
In July, The Beat DC reported that former Miami school board member Raquel Regalado announced her candidacy to replace retiring Congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-FL). She has since withdrawn her candidacy, writing, “As a first-generation Hispanic woman who is thankful everyday for having been born in this country I am saddened that the first words that come to mind when we think of our national government is ineffective and circuslike.” The Republican went on to say, “I refuse to compromise my values and beliefs; I refuse to accept disrespect, intolerance, and vulgarity as our new norm; and I refuse to be part of this two-party pantomime. I am and will remain a moderate voice.” Read her full piece here.

Ben Jealous Names Running Mate and Gets Help from Bernie Sanders
Maryland gubernatorial candidate Ben Jealous has chosen former state Democratic Party Chair Susan W. Turnbull as his running mate. Turnbull, like Jealous, has never run for public office before. But she has been active in national Democratic politics for decades, including being a staunch supporter of Hillary Clinton’s presidential bid. Jealous, who co-chaired the presidential campaign for Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT), got some help from the progressive Independent on Tuesday. Sanders helped Jealous pitch his plan for a state-based universal health care program -- a plan similar to his “Medicare for all” plan. Jealous is facing policy expert Maya Rockeymoore Cummings, former Michelle Obama staffer Krish Vignarajah, Prince George’s County Executive Rushern Baker, Baltimore County Executive Kevin Kamenetz, and Maryland State Sen. Rich Madaleno in the Dem primary. More here.

Ford Foundation Commits $3 Million to Diversify Art Museum Leadership
The Ford Foundation joined with the Walton Family Foundation and announced that they are each committing $3 million over three years to support creative solutions to diversify curatorial and management staff at art museums across the United States. A recent study shows that only 16% of art museum leadership positions were held by people of color, despite the fact that 38% of Americans identify as Asian, Black, Hispanic, or multiracial. "To ensure the future health and vibrancy of the arts in America, we need more arts leaders who understand and relate to the deeply varied perspectives and life experiences that weave the rich fabric of our nation," said Ford Foundation President Darren Walker. Through the Diversifying Art Museum Leadership Initiative, the Ford Foundation and Walton Family Foundation will support innovative strategies and programs to advance diversity across the sector, including hiring professionals from underrepresented populations and offering fellowships, mentorships, and other career development options for diverse professionals. The funded initiatives will affect curatorial and programmatic decision-making in the museums. More here.

USHCC Embattled Leader Faces Infighting and Possible Leadership Change
Meanwhile, BuzzFeed’s Adrian Carrasquillo reports that some at the U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce are moving behind the scenes to oust President Javier Palomárez over allegations that he misused the organization's money for his personal salary and bonuses. Palomárez is reportedly making more than double what his contract stipulated he should make. And apparently, there’s also widespread concern that he has squandered the organization's political clout with posturing that has expressly angered some Trump officials. Palomárez gets no love on Capitol Hill either. A member of Congress told BuzzFeed News of a meeting the member had with the embattled leader that did not appear to be illegal but inched up to lines that made the member uncomfortable. A Palomárez ally said he blames board member businesswoman Nina Vaca, for disparaging him to the board and creating the environment where it seeks to oust him. Vaca says Palomárez has threatened to sue her because she discovered the alleged issues with his compensation and bonuses and flagged them to the board. USHCC Board Member Carmen Castillo, who runs SDI International -- the largest Latina-owned business in the country, was reportedly involved with the hiring of two law firms to meticulously go over the group's finances, with a focus on Palomárez’s yearly compensation, as well as the bonuses he gave himself. BuzzFeed has a lot more details.

Pai and Opponents Trade Punches
Delivering a surprising rebuke, FCC Chair Ajit Pai criticized tech giants as he forges ahead with his plan to end the net neutrality protections. During an event in DC on Tuesday, Pai said that tech giants could pose the greatest threat by discriminating against viewpoints on the internet. “They might cloak their advocacy in the public interest,” he said, “but the real interest of these internet giants is in using the regulatory process to cement their dominance in the internet economy.” Pai is facing a backlash from opponents. Speaking through the Internet Association, companies like Facebook, Google, and Twitter have urged Pai to stand down. In response, Pai raised the fact that Twitter at one point prevented a Republican Congresswoman from promoting a tweet about abortion, only to change its mind amid a public backlash. Activists have taken the fight to Pai’s home, not only staging a protest outside his house with signs directed at his children, but they also reportedly sent pizzas to his home every 15 minutes.

Kamala Harris Battling FCC
Senator Kamala Harris (D-CA) was nearing her goal of 175,000 signatures on a petition to try and stop the FCC from rolling back Title II and eliminating most bright-line net neutrality rules. "As I said in my letter to the FCC just a few months ago: This proposal is a grave threat to the idea that the internet should be free and accessible for all. It’s a danger to our economy and free speech rights and we must defeat it," she wrote on Moveon.org's petition site. The petition currently has over 180,000 signatures at one point adding them at a rate of several hundred a minute. More than eight million people have submitted comments in response to the FCC’s proposal. See Harris’ petition here.

Curbelo Digs Heels In Over "Dreamers"
The looming date of the government shutdown is Friday, December 8th. Congressman Carlos Curbelo (R-FL) said Tuesday he won’t support any long-term funding legislation unless there’s a deal to help "Dreamers." If enough Republicans follow Curbelo’s path, House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) could be forced to find a solution in order to keep the government running. “House leadership knows it is a major priority for me to get this done before the end of the year,” Curbelo said in an interview. Curbelo faced criticism from Dems for not signing onto the DREAM Act. Instead, he is pushing his own bill called the Recognizing America’s Children Act, which he touts as a more conservative version of the DREAM Act. However, Curbelo says he will support any legislation that helps "Dreamers" if it comes to the floor for a vote even if it isn’t his bill. More here.

CHC Chair Makes DACA Plea
Congressional Hispanic Caucus Chair Congresswoman Michelle Luján Grisham (D-NM) penned an opinion piece for Univisión, urging Congress to pass legislation to protect "Dreamers," close to 800,000 nationwide.
“Each day the Congress fails to act, an average of 122 of them will lose their status and become vulnerable to detention and deportation. Already today more than 10,000 of these young people are estimated to have lost DACA,” the congresswoman writes. “If a solution is not reached, the number of young people losing their work authorization and protection from deportation will skyrocket, reaching as high as 50,000 per month in March 2019, until there are no more Dreamers.” Read her full piece here.

Tribes Sue Trump Over Bears Ears
Donald Trump will fly to Utah on Monday to announce that he’ll shrink the Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante national monuments. Tribes have said they will seek legal action to stop any changes, which they don’t believe are authorized under the 1906 Antiquities Act. “The tribes view this as an affront to themselves and their own self determination,” said Natalie Landreth, senior staff attorney for the Native American Rights Fund. “All of us, all five tribes will be suing jointly the day he makes an announcement.” Five tribes -- the Hopi, Navajo Nation, Ute Mountain Ute Tribe, Pueblo of Zuni and the Ute Indian Tribe -- make up the Bears Ears Inter-Tribal Coalition that advocated for the monument.

Another Bad Contract Hurts Puerto Rico Residents
After Hurricane Maria damaged tens of thousands of homes in Puerto Rico, the AP reports that a newly created Florida company with an unproven record won more than $30 million in contracts from the Federal Emergency Management Agency to provide emergency tarps and plastic sheeting for repairs. Bronze Star LLC never delivered those urgently needed supplies, which even months later remain in demand by hurricane victims on the island. FEMA eventually terminated the contracts, without paying any money, and re-started the process this month to supply more tarps for the island. Thousands of Puerto Ricans remain homeless, and the federal government can’t seem to manage to get tarps to the island. More here.
