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

Sen. Rand Paul defended why he opted to not self-quarantine while awaiting for the results from a COVID-19 test he took last week. On Sunday, Paul's office announced that the the U.S. senator from Kentucky tested positive for coronavirus. Paul's office said he was asymptomatic and feeling fine. Paul continued to work on Capitol Hill until he learned of his positive test.Although Paul was not around many staffers, he was in close proximity of a number of fellow senators. Republican senators Mitt Romney and Mike Lee opted to self-quarantine following Paul's announcement. Paul's office said that staffers began working remotely 10 days ago and he had virtually no direct contact with his staff. “Given that my wife and I had traveled extensively during the weeks prior to COVID-19 social distancing practices, and that I am at a higher risk for serious complications from the virus due to having part of my lung removed seven months ago, I took a COVID-19 test when I arrived in D.C. last Monday," Paul said in a statement. "I felt that it was highly unlikely that I was positive since I have had no symptoms of the illness, nor have I had contact with anyone who has either tested positive for the virus or been sick."The CDC issued the following guidelines for testing:Hospitalized patients who have signs and symptoms compatible with COVID-19 in order to inform decisions related to infection control.Other symptomatic individuals such as, older adults (age ≥ 65 years) and individuals with chronic medical conditions and/or an immunocompromised state that may put them at higher risk for poor outcomes (e.g., diabetes, heart disease, receiving immunosuppressive medications, chronic lung disease, chronic kidney disease).Any persons including healthcare personnel, who within 14 days of symptom onset had close contact with a suspect or laboratory-confirmed4 COVID-19 patient, or who have a history of travel from affected geographic areas5 (see below) within 14 days of their symptom onset.Paul believed he should have been tested because of a preexisting condition."The nature of COVID-19 put me – and us all – in a Catch-22 situation," Paul said. "I didn’t fit the criteria for testing or quarantine. I had no symptoms and no specific encounter with a COVID-19 positive person. I had, however, traveled extensively in the U.S. and was required to continue doing so to vote in the Senate. That, together with the fact that I have a compromised lung, led me to seek testing. Despite my positive test result, I remain asymptomatic for COVID-19."Although Paul was the first senator with a confirmed positive test, two members of the House confirmed positive coronavirus cases last week. 2706

Space is an incredible subject to study, and it wouldn’t be possible without the collection of Moon rocks and dust, as well as information about the Universe scientists have gathered.In building 31 north at the Johnson Space Center, NASA’s Lunar Lab houses some of the most famous rocks from all the Apollo missions. They have over 100,000 rocks from space.Charis Krysher, a Lunar Curation Processor for NASA, says moon rocks and space dust are the most important thing brought back to Earth.“One of the first things that we learned from the Apollo collection was how old the moon the Earth was,” Krysher says.Rocks on Earth aren’t pristine like they are on the Moon. Moon rocks don’t age, because there is no atmosphere in space to break down the rocks. The rocks found on the moon can potentially be billions of years old. “More recently we've actually learned in the past, less than a decade, that the Moon's rocks actually contain way more water than was originally realized,” the processor explains. Just like famous diamonds and jewels, there are well known space rocks, too. Like the one found by Apollo 15. “They named it the Genesis Rock, because it’s a part of the primordial crust of the moon,” she says.When studying these samples, scientists take all the precautions, from wearing bunny suits, temperature-controlled rooms and even triple bagging each rock for storing."We try really hard to preserve the rocks so that the science that we learn from the rocks can be trusted," Krysher says.It’s not every day we go to the Moon, so these scientists take time to study the rocks and do it sparingly. They are still breaking rocks over 40 years old. However, come five years from now, they’ll get another chance for more rocks when U.S. astronauts head to the moon in 2024. 1796
