Sen. Elizabeth Warren kicked the 2020 White House race into high gear on New Year's Eve when she announced the formation of a presidential exploratory committee.The announcement made clear that Warren is in the race for the Democratic nomination, but by forming an exploratory committee, she is technically still one step short of officially becoming a presidential candidate.An exploratory committee is a vehicle by which candidates for federal office can "test the waters" of a bid before officially entering a race.It's a mostly technical distinction that allows candidates to form a committee and begin raising and spending money on limited campaign activities like polling and outreach. And exploratory committees aren't initially required to file reports with the Federal Election Commission, at least until a candidate's bid becomes official by FEC standards.That happens, 892

Several Democratic US presidential hopefuls on Sunday lined up to call for the impeachment of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh in the face of a new, uninvestigated, allegation of sexual impropriety when he was in college.Kavanaugh was confirmed last October after emotional hearings in the Senate over a sexual assault allegation from his high school years.The New York Times now reports that Kavanaugh faced a separate allegation from his time at Yale University and that the FBI did not investigate the claim. The latest claim mirrors one offered during his confirmation process by Deborah Ramirez, a Yale classmate who claimed Kavanaugh exposed himself to her during a drunken party.When he testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee last year, Kavanaugh denied all allegations of impropriety.Senator Kamala Harris, said after the new report that "Brett Kavanaugh lied to the U.S. Senate and most importantly to the American people."She tweeted: "He must be impeached."A 2020 rival, Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren, tweeted that "Confirmation is not exoneration, and these newest revelations are disturbing. Like the man who appointed him, Kavanaugh should be impeached."Former Texas Rep. Beto O'Rourke asserted in a tweeted, "We know he lied under oath. He should be impeached." He accused the GOP-run Senate of forcing the FBI "to rush its investigation to save his nomination."Their comments followed similar ones from Julian Castro, a former U.S. housing secretary, on Saturday night."It's more clear than ever that Brett Kavanaugh lied under oath," he tweeted."He should be impeached and Congress should review the failure of the Department of Justice to properly investigate the matter," he added.Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont didn't refer to impeachment by name in a tweet Sunday, but said he would "support any appropriate constitutional mechanism" to hold Kavanaugh "accountable."Democrats control the House, which holds the power of impeachment.If the House took that route, a trial would take place in the Senate, where Republicans now have a majority, making it unlikely that Kavanaugh would be removed from office.Trump, who fiercely defended Kavanaugh during his contentious confirmation process, dismissed the latest allegation as "lies."In a tweet Sunday, Trump said Kavanaugh "should start suing people for libel, or the Justice Department should come to his rescue."It wasn't immediately clear how the Justice Department could come to the justice's defence.Trump added that they were "False Accusations without recrimination," and claimed his accusers were seeking to influence Kavanaugh's opinions on the bench. 2666

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell will sit down Tuesday with 9/11 first responders on Capitol Hill, following comedian Jon Stewart's high-profile criticism of Congress and his plea for the extension of the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund, which is struggling to pay its current claims."I think we have momentum and I think we're going to challenge Mitch McConnell's humanity tomorrow," 9/11 first responder John Feal told CNN on Monday, confirming the meeting scheduled for Tuesday afternoon.Feal said the meeting had been in the works since before Stewart's emotional testimony on Capitol Hill two weeks ago, but plans had not formally come together until that week that the comedian and activist's impassioned plea went viral.Feal said on CNN's "New Day" on Tuesday that past meetings with McConnell did not go well because of their different views, but said he has an "open mind" about the upcoming meeting."I'm going to pray for the best, be prepared for the worst," Feal said.At issue is funding for the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund, which provides health care and services for 9/11 first responders. The current law, which was last renewed in 2015, expires next year and the fund's administrator says it doesn't have enough money to pay out all the current claims now. The new bill, that passed out of the House committee last week, does not call for a specific amount of funds but whatever sums necessary through 2090.At the time of its last renewal in 2015, Congress appropriated .6 billion to the fund, bringing the total appropriated amount of the fund over the years to .4 billion. The special master who administers the fund anticipates that total payouts for claims filed before the measure expires in 2020 could be far higher: .6 billion, if a current uptick in claims -- largely caused by an increase in serious illnesses and deaths -- continues.While there have been public commitments from both parties to ensure more money the fund is extended, the legislation seems at least weeks if not months away from final passage -- a timeline that is too slow for some of the funds' recipients and their advocates.One example: a retired NYPD bomb squad detective who testified about his 9/11-related medical issues alongside Stewart said last week he is now entering end-of-life hospice care."I'm now in hospice, because (there) is nothing else the doctors can do to fight the cancer," Luis Alvarez wrote in a Facebook post last week.Feal told CNN's "New Day" on Tuesday that "the longer we wait, the longer people suffer.""There are people sick and dying that are going to die in the very near future, that are going to leave their families in financial ruins," Feal said. "Mitch McConnell and the rest of the Senate ... need to sense our urgency, because these men and women in uniform and nonuniform, the people in lower Manhattan, they need this now, today, right now, yesterday, and it's going to be stressed today."Stewart, who has been fighting for 9/11 first responders' health benefits for years, testified on Capitol Hill earlier this month at a House subcommittee hearing over the legislation to fight for the funding to be extended immediately and he called out lawmakers for not attending the hearing."'Shameful," Stewart said, "It's an embarrassment to the country and it is a stain on this institution. And you should be ashamed of yourselves for those that aren't here. But you won't be, because accountability doesn't appear to be something that occurs in this chamber."Following Stewart's comments, lawmakers from both parties have vowed to extend the funding for the program."Every sick responder and survivor should be treated with the same dignity and compassion," said House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler, a Democrat from New York whose committee unanimously advanced the legislation. "All responders and survivors, whether they got sick in 2015 or will get sick in 2025 or 2035, should be properly compensated. Congress must act to make that happen."In the days since his initial comments, Stewart has kept up the public pressure, focusing much of his criticism on McConnell as well as challenging him to meet with first responders as soon as possible, something McConnell has done before."Don't make them beg for it. You could pass this thing as a standalone bill tomorrow," Stewart said appearing on CBS' "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert." "If you're busy, I get it. Just understand, the next time we have war; or you're being robbed; or your house is on fire, and you make that desperate call for help, don't get bent out of shape if they show up at the last minute, with fewer people than you thought were going to pay attention, and don't actually put it out."McConnell pushed back in a Fox News interview, vowing to the fund would be fully funded and saying he could not understand why Stewart is the one "all bent out of shape" on the issue."Well, many things in Congress happen at the last minute. We never failed to address this issue and we will address it again," McConnell told Fox News. "I don't know why he is all bent out of shape. We will take care of the 9/11 compensation fund."McConnell dodged the question last week when asked by CNN if he would meet with 9/11 responders in response to Stewart's challenge, saying only, "I don't know how many times I can say we've never let 9/11 victims behind and we won't again."This will not be McConnell's first meeting with a group of first responders. Feal tells CNN they last met with McConnell in 2015 and 2010. McConnell's office did not comment, when asked by CNN about Tuesday's meeting.The bill now waits to be passed by the full House. House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer said it is their intention to take it up sometime before the August recess.After passing the House, which it is expected to do easily, the bill will be sent to the Senate for a vote.Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, a New York Democrat, said last week he believes that Stewart's public pressure has "had some effect" on pressuring McConnell."By the end of Senator Mitch McConnell's meeting with these first responders tomorrow, he should commit to put the bill on the floor for a stand-alone vote immediately following House passage," Schumer said in a statement Monday. "We cannot tolerate any more delay." 6329
