Already burdened by the coronavirus pandemic and a tightened deadline, the Census Bureau must now contend with several natural disasters as wildfires and hurricanes disrupt the final weeks of the nation’s once-a-decade headcount.The fires on the West Coast forced tens of thousands of people to flee homes in California and Oregon before they could be counted, and tens of thousands of others were uncounted in Louisiana communities hit hard last month by Hurricane Laura. Nearly a quarter million more households were uncounted in areas affected this week by Hurricane Sally.The disasters add to the already laborious task of counting of every U.S. resident and increase the risk that the effort will miss people in some parts of the country.“I can’t project if Mother Nature is going to let us finish, but we are going to do the best we can,” said Al Fontenot, associate director of the Census Bureau, who has repeatedly said the bureau is on target to complete the count at the end of the month.The disasters make it challenging or impossible for census takers to visit households that have not yet answered questionnaires. And time is running out, with just two weeks left until the census is scheduled to end on Sept. 30.In major cities in California and Oregon, smoke from nearby wildfires poses a health threat for census takers as they knock on doors.“It’s really smoky, and no one wants to open their doors because of the hazardous air. I gave up yesterday and do not plan to go out today unless it improves,” said a San Francisco census taker, who spoke on the condition of anonymity out of fear that she could lose her job.Officials in San Jose, California, are encouraging residents to respond to census questions online or by phone or mail.“Frankly, it’s not safe to be outside for more than a little bit,” San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo said. “So, yes, it will affect us. We are going to hustle every other way we possibly can.”If there is an undercount, states affected by the disasters could be shortchanged when some .5 trillion in federal spending is distributed annually to pay for roads, schools, health care and other programs. Since the census also determines how many congressional seats each state gets, states such as California that are on the verge of losing a seat because of declining population could see their political power diluted.Rep. Jimmy Gomez, a Democrat from Los Angeles, said the recent disasters are another reason the deadline for ending the 2020 census should be extended by a month.Because of the pandemic, the Census Bureau pushed back the deadline for finishing the count from the end of July to the end of October. Then the agency announced last month that the deadline would be changed to the end of September after the Republican-controlled Senate failed to pass a Census Bureau request for more time to turn in numbers used for redrawing congressional districts.Some Democrats and activists believe the expedited schedule is politically motivated. A coalition of cities and civil rights groups are suing in federal court in San Jose, seeking an extra month.“We know the shorter the time frame is, the more risk there is to an accurate count, and the more problems can arise,” Gomez said. “This is not usually the time of the year that the Census Bureau is doing the counting.”The San Jose lawsuit contends that the sped-up timetable will cause Latinos, Asian Americans and immigrants to be overlooked. Government attorneys say the Census Bureau will not have enough time to process the data to meet an end-of-the-year deadline if the count does not finish in September.“If you had a longer period, you would expect some people to return home, and you could concentrate on those geographies,” said Thomas Saenz, president and general counsel of the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund, which is seeking extra time in another lawsuit in Maryland.Census takers headed to evacuation centers to complete the count, and residents will be counted according to where they were on April 1, said Guillermo Gonzalez, a congressional liaison for the Census Bureau.In areas where there is extreme danger, such as parts of Oregon, census field offices had to close offices for several days and home visits were suspended. In some places where census takers cannot go out, they are trying to reach households by phone, according to Census Bureau officials.Fontenot said in court papers in the Maryland case that the natural disasters and other disruptions pose “significant risks” to finishing the count in all states by the deadline.The Census Bureau estimated there were 248,000 uncounted households affected by Hurricane Sally in Alabama and Florida; 34,000 uncounted households affected by Hurricane Laura in Louisiana; close to 80,000 uncounted households in California affected by wildfires; and 17,500 Oregon households also threatened by the flames.The disasters worry the federal judge in the San Jose lawsuit, who is considering whether to extend the count by a month. During a recent hearing, Judge Lucy Koh said some workers at her courthouse had been evacuated and their neighborhoods were destroyed.“Here we’ve been told not to go outside for 28 days because of unsafe air. How are you doing six visits to households when people can’t go outside?” Koh asked government attorneys. “How are we going to count in this reality for us?”___Follow Mike Schneider on Twitter at https://twitter.com/MikeSchneiderAP 5478

Across the country, confederate statues and symbols are going down. Just this week, Mississippi voted to change its flag which featured the old confederate flag. On Wednesday night, a statue of Stonewall Jackson was taken down in Richmond, VA. NO CHANGES INSIDE CAPITOLWhile changes are no doubt underway around the country, the 11 statues representing Confederate soldiers and officials are on display as part of the National Statuary Hall collection in the United States Capitol. "They committed treason against the United States," House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said in a recent press conference. Pelosi wrote a letter asking for the Confederate men to be removed, however she doesn't have the power to do so unilaterally. Senator Mitch McConnell has said he won't pass a new law to change that"What I do think is clearly a bridge too far - this nonsense that we need to airbrush the Capitol, I mean eight former presidents owned slaves," McConnell told reporters recently. STATUES IN CONGRESS ARE CONTROLLED BY STATESCurrently, each state gets to send two statues to display inside the United States Capitol. Often times, the state legislature decides which statue is represented, which can get political The full list is available here, however these are the 11 confederate men represented in the collection: Jefferson Davis, President of Confederate States of America, Mississippi James Zachariah George, Reconstruction leader and white supremacist, Mississippi Wade Hampton, One of the largest slaveholders in the Southeast, South Carolina John E. Kenna, Confederate soldier, West Virginia Robert E. Lee, Commander of the Confederate States Army, Virginia Uriah Milton Rose, Confederacy supporter, Arkansas . Edmund Kirby Smith, Confederate soldier and slave holder, Florida. Alexander Hamilton Stephens, Vice president of the Confederate States, Georgia Zebulon Baird Vance, Confederate military member, North Carolina Joseph Wheeler, Commander in the Confederate Army of Tennessee, Alabama Edward Douglass White, Confederate solider, Louisiana 2060

After several days of public memorials in Alabama and Washington, D.C., a funeral service for Rep. John Lewis took place in the historic Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta. The same church that was formerly led by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.Former President Barack Obama delivered the eulogy for Lewis during Thursday's service, speaking passionately about Lewis' so-called good trouble and both his protests and politics for change. He called Lewis “a man of pure joy and unbreakable perseverance.""George Wallace may be gone, but we can witness our federal government sending agents to use tear gas and batons against peaceful demonstrators," he said, referring to the segregationist Alabama governor who ran for president on a hard-right platform in 1968 and recent images from Portland, adding that there are still battles to be fought for voting rights and equality.Obama talked about ways to continue Lewis' legacy; restoring the Voting Rights Act, allowing former inmates to vote, adding polling locations, making Election Day a federal holiday and allowing Washington, DC, and Puerto Rico to have full representation in Congress.Former Presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton also spoke during the service, both recounting stories from Lewis' life, including a popular story of the representative preaching to chickens as a child."It is so fitting on the day of his service, he leaves us our marching orders: Keep moving," Clinton told the crowd, encouraging the audience the continue the work Lewis started.Speaker of the House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi talked about personal moments of levity with Rep. Lewis. Including his dancing and retelling a story Lewis had shared with her, when his granddaughter asked if he sang with the civil rights movement, Lewis reportedly responded "They asked me to sing solo once. So low they couldn't hear me.""John wasn't on the right side of history, history was on the right side of John," said William Craig Campbell, Former Mayor, City of Atlanta.President Donald Trump did not attend a public viewing for Lewis that was held in the Capitol Rotunda earlier this week and there is so far no mention of him attending the service Thursday in Atlanta.Thursday's service marks the culmination of nearly a week of celebrations of the longtime Georgia congressman and civil rights leader. In Alabama, Lewis' casket was carried by horse-drawn carriage across the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama — the place where he was beaten by police nearly 50 years ago while marching for voting rights. That march inspired the passage of the Voting Rights Act just a few months later.On Monday, Lewis' body was flown to Washington, where his body laid in state at the Capitol Building — an honor only afforded to the most highly respected lawmakers.Following Thursday's service, Lewis will be buried at Atlanta's South View Cemetery — the same cemetery where King is buried. 2926

Amazon's sales outlook for the fourth quarter was the equivalent of a lump of coal in investors' stockings. Don't worry too much: Jeff Bezos could still deliver a holiday surprise.Shares of Amazon tumbled nearly 10% Friday because investors worried the company's holiday sales could be the worst in years.Amazon (AMZN) is the second-largest retailer in the country, trailing only Walmart (WMT) in annual sales. So a weaker holiday quarter for Amazon could be a bad sign for the overall economy.The Jeff Bezos-led company said Thursday it expected fourth quarter sales to be in a range of .5 billion and .5 billion. That's less than what was expected, and the .5 billion midpoint of this guidance is an increase of just 15% from a year ago.A sales jump of 15% may sound great, but it's pretty tepid for Amazon, which posted a revenue bump of 38% in last year's fourth quarter and increases of more than 20% in both the fourth quarters of 2015 and 2016.The last time Amazon reported a fourth quarter sales increase that was less than 20% was back in 2014, when revenue was up 14.6%. 1097

After months of protests, sometimes becoming violent, Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler announced Thursday that the city is banning the use of tear gas by his city’s police.Wheeler said everyone has an obligation to create change, and now is the time to change the city’s policy on using tear gas.“During the last hundred days Portland, Multnomah County and State Police have all relied on CS gas where there is a threat to life safety,” Wheeler said. “We need something different. We need it now.“Arson, vandalism, and violence are not going to drive change in this community. I expect the police to arrest people who engage in criminal acts. I expect the District Attorney to prosecute those who commit criminal acts. And I expect the rest of the criminal justice system to hold those individuals accountable. We must stand together as a community against violence and for progress.”The issue of using tear gas amid protests has become a legal battle, as demonstrators say that the use of tear gas to disperse a crowd violates their constitutional rights. In June, U.S. District Judge March Hernandez ruled that the use of tear gas on protesters in Portland could only be used when lives are at risk.The police responded on Thursday by saying gas is a tool needed by officers to control crowds when protests become violent.“Banning the lawful use of CS will make it very difficult to address this kind of violence without resorting to much higher levels of physical force, with a correspondingly elevated risk of serious injury to members of the public and officers,” the Portland Police said in a statement. “CS, while effective, is a significantly lower level of force than impact weapons, which would very likely be necessary to disperse riotous groups with its prohibition. We do not want to use gas. We do not want to use any force.”As to why tear gas is used instead of police going in to make an arrest?“To make an arrest in the middle of a crowd intent on destruction and injuring people, it takes considerable resources--large numbers of officers that we do not have,” the police said. “Not only do we not have enough PPB officers to respond in this manner, our area partners have stated they will not come to our aid, given the climate in Portland.”The city’s downtown has dealt with protests and unrest since Memorial Day following the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis. Adding to the challenges for law enforcement in recent weeks, counter-protesters have arrived and clashed with Black Lives Matter supporters.The unrest culminated on August 29 when Aaron Danielson was shot and killed. The suspect in the case, Michael Forest Reinoehl, was later killed by US Marshals in Olympia, Washington. The US Department of Justice claimed that Reinoehl was a supporter of ANTIFA. The Associated Press reported that Danielson joined the counter-protest as part of a group known as Patriot Prayer, which aligns itself with President Donald Trump and that allegedly shot paintballs at protesters in Portland. 3015
