The Warren-Sanders alliance breaks down | On the 2020 trail
With only three weeks to the Iowa caucus, a feud between long-time progressive allies changed the tone of the race. Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, who have known each other for years and worked closely together in the Senate, have always presented a united front, and have refrained from going after each other during the democratic primary. But their differing accounts of a private meeting in 2018 led to a very public split this week, and could lead to a fracturing of the progressive movement they have both worked to build.

Des Moines 4K60fps - Driving Downtown - Iowa, USA
Donation:
Des Moines is the capital and the most populous city in the U.S. state of Iowa. It is also the county seat of Polk County. A small part of the city extends into Warren County. It was incorporated on September 22, 1851, as Fort Des Moines, which was shortened to Des Moines in 1857. It is on and named after the Des Moines River, which likely was adapted from the early French name, Rivière des Moines, meaning River of the Monks. The city's population was 216,853 as of the 2018 population estimate. The five-county metropolitan area is ranked 89th in terms of population in the United States with 655,409 residents according to the 2018 estimate by the United States Census Bureau, and is the largest metropolitan area fully located within the state. A portion of the larger Omaha, Nebraska metropolitan area extends into three counties of southwest Iowa.
Des Moines is a major center of the U.S. insurance industry, and has a sizable financial services and publishing business base. The city was credited as the number one spot for U.S. insurance companies in a Business Wire article and named the third-largest insurance capital of the world. The city is the headquarters for the Principal Financial Group, the Meredith Corporation, Ruan Transportation, EMC Insurance Companies, and Wellmark Blue Cross Blue Shield. Other major corporations such as Wells Fargo, Voya Financial, Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company, ACE Limited, Marsh, Monsanto, and DuPont Pioneer have large operations in or near the metropolitan area. In recent years, Microsoft, Hewlett Packard, and Facebook have built data-processing and logistical facilities in the Des Moines area. Forbes ranked Des Moines as the Best Place for Business in both 2010 and 2013. In 2014, NBC ranked Des Moines as the Wealthiest City in America according to its criteria.
Des Moines is an important city in U.S. presidential politics; as the state's capital, it is the site of the first caucuses of the presidential primary cycle. Many presidential candidates set up campaign headquarters in Des Moines. A 2007 article in The New York Times said, If you have any desire to witness presidential candidates in the most close-up and intimate of settings, there is arguably no better place to go than Des Moines.

The 50th Anniversary of the Tinker v. Des Moines Schools Decision
Mary Beth Tinker was a 13-year-old junior high school student in December 1965 when she, her brother John, 15, and a group of Iowa students wore black armbands to school to protest the war in Vietnam. That decision led the students and their families to embark on a four-year court battle that culminated in the landmark 1969 U.S. Supreme Court decision for student free speech: Tinker v. Des Moines Independent School District.
In honor of the 50th anniversary of the Supreme Court decision, Iowa Public Television captured a live presentation and Q&A with Mary Beth and John Tinker as they reflected on the case and its impact. The program was recorded at the State Historical Museum of Iowa in Des Moines on Friday, February 22, 2019, and features special guests and questions submitted by students across the U.S.
Student questions and discussion during the event were shared on Twitter using the hashtag #tinkerversary.

What's in phase one U.S.-China trade deal
Stocks have rallied in recent weeks on optimism over trade between the U.S. and China and this week could mark a milestone with the expected signing of the phase one deal. CNBC's Eamon Javers reports.
U.S. and China trade representatives will end years of intense bilateral negotiations with a “phase one” deal on Wednesday that promises billions of dollars’ worth of agricultural purchases and the beginning of reforms to China’s longstanding practice of forced technology transfer.
For all the pomp and circumstance expected at the signing ceremony — and repeated assurances from American negotiators — many are still unsure of exactly what the two nations are agreeing to.
On paper, the deal includes a “dramatic expansion of U.S. food, agriculture and seafood product exports” as well as an agreement by China to end its long-standing practice of forcing or pressuring foreign companies to transfer their technologies to Chinese companies, according to a U.S. Trade Representative document.
The USTR has also said the deal reiterates U.S. opposition to currency manipulation and a commitment by China to buy at least $200 billion in U.S. exports over two years including manufactured goods, food, agricultural, energy products and services.
Estimates of the value of goods by industry the White House believes Beijing will buy include about $80 billion in manufactured goods, $53 billion in energy, $32 billion in agriculture and $35 billion in services.
“We have been going through a translation process that I think we said was really a technical issue,” Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin told Fox News on Sunday. “And people can see. This is a very, very extensive agreement.”
Top negotiators, including Mnuchin, U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer, and others are expected to attend the signing on Wednesday in Washington.
P.J. Quaid, a corn options broker at the CME Group in Chicago, said he’s eager to learn how the White House plans to enforce the tenets of the phase one deal if Beijing skirts its obligations.
“This thing’s been a crazy roller coaster since it started. A lot of people have become pessimistic because a lot of the purchases they said they’re going to make seem hard to attain,” Quaid said.
“If this thing comes in under expectations, you could see sell-off,” he added. “It’s been a rough time for people trading Ags.” The Office of the United States Trade Representative did not return CNBC’s request for comment.
Others were cautious after a Chinese media report suggested that Beijing isn’t as upbeat on the prospect for future trade talks. Taoran Notes, a blog run by a state-owned newspaper called Economic Daily, published its first blog post in two months on Sunday.
“We need to bear in mind that the trade war is not over yet. The U.S. hasn’t removed all the tariffs on Chinese imports and China is still imposing its retaliatory duties,” the blog wrote according to a CNBC translation. “There are still so many uncertainties ahead.”
For Don Roose, president of Des Moines, Iowa-based brokerage U.S. Commodities, China’s commitments to farm purchases are key.
“We’re anticipating $35 billion [of farm purchases] the first year and $40 billion in the second,” he said. “It doesn’t look like we’re creating any new world demand.” But unresolved, Roose said, is whether the Chinese will — after years of haggling — actually end up buying more U.S. farm goods than before President Donald Trump opened the trade spat nearly two years ago.
Still, Roose said he was slightly more optimistic with a phase one deal nearly signed.
“There’s always a question mark, but if they want to get to ‘phase two,’ they’re going to have to show some solid follow-through,” he said.

TRUMP IS BACK: President Trump and Melania Trump Back In U.S.A.
Why Did ICE Arrest & Imprison a 23-Year-Old DREAMer and DACA Recipient Living Legally in the U.S.?
- President Trump said he would show great heart when considering whether to deport recipients of DACA, or Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals. So why is Daniel Ramirez Medina sitting in jail? We look at the case of a 23-year-old father who was detained by ICE one week ago in Des Moines, Washington, even though he has permission to live and work in the United States under DACA. His supporters have maintained a vigil at the Northwest Detention Center in Tacoma, Washington, where he is being held. It’s a private detention center owned by the for-profit prison company GEO Group. We go to Seattle, Washington, to speak with Councilmember Lorena González, a civil rights attorney who is the city’s first Latino councilmember.

13. Various screenshots of Trump tweets responding to New York Attorney General's lawsuit
STORYLINE:
New York's attorney general filed a lawsuit Thursday accusing President Donald Trump of illegally using his charitable foundation's money to pay off legal settlements for his businesses, buy a $10,000 portrait of himself and foster his presidential hopes with strategic donations to veterans at a pivotal point in the 2016 campaign. The president blasted the suit as politically motivated.
The two-year investigation detailed a closely coordinated effort between Trump's campaign and foundation to promote Trump's political persona by giving out big grants _ of other people's money _ in the run-up to the Iowa caucuses, the first presidential nominating contest of 2016, the suit says.
The foundation's grants made Mr. Trump and the campaign look charitable and increased the candidate's profile to Republican primary voters and among important constituent groups Democratic Attorney General Barbara Underwood's lawsuit said.
It accused the foundation of improper and extensive political activity, repeated and willful self-dealing transactions, and failure to follow basic fiduciary obligations.
In a couple of tweets, Trump called the case ridiculous.
I won't settle this case! he wrote.
Schneiderman started probing the charity and ordered it to stop fundraising in New York in 2016, after The Washington Post reported that the foundation's spending personally benefited the presidential candidate.
Some of those expenditures, uncovered by The Post, were cited in the lawsuit, including a $100,000 payment to settle legal claims against Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Fla., $158,000 to resolve a suit over a prize for a hole-in-one contest at Trump National Golf Club in Briarcliff Manor, N.Y., and $10,000 for a 6-foot-tall (1.8-meter) portrait of Trump, purchased at a charity auction.

Kent also said he had expressed concern over Hunter Biden's position on the board of a Ukrainian energy company in 2015. Nick Schifrin talks to Judy Woodruff.

Impeachment trial of President Trump | Jan. 31, 2020 (FULL LIVE STREAM)
A crucial vote is anticipated Jan. 31 on whether to call witnesses in the Trump impeachment trial, including former national security adviser John Bolton. In a manuscript of his new book, Bolton reportedly says that Trump directly tied the holdup of nearly $400 million in military assistance to Ukraine to investigations of the Bidens.
Trump was impeached by the House of Representatives in December for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. Impeachment does not mean that the president has been removed from office. In the next phase, the Senate must hold a trial to make that determination. A Senate impeachment trial has happened only two other times in American history and once in the modern era. At the center of the Democrats’ case is that Trump sought to withhold military assistance and an Oval Office meeting until Ukraine announced investigations into former vice president Joe Biden and his son.

The First Amendment and students: Speak up or shut up?
Author and law professor Catherine Ross discusses her new book “Lessons in Censorship: How Schools and Courts Subvert Students’ First Amendment Rights,” which explores the state of free speech for students in America’s public schools. The book documents an increasing clamp-down on speech even off-campus, and explores how even well-intentioned efforts against bullying and hate speech violate students’ rights.
Ross, a professor at George Washington University Law School, is spending the 2015-2016 academic year as a visiting scholar at the Harvard School of Education. She has been a Member of the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, and has taught at the University of Pennsylvania, Yale and other universities. She is a co-author of “Contemporary Family Law,” a leading law school text.
This program was recorded before a live studio audience in the Newseum’s Knight TV Studio on Nov. 9, 2015.
