WASHINGTON -- The ousted US ambassador to Ukraine testified Friday that she was "shocked and devastated" after learning that President Donald Trump had disparaged her in his July phone call with the Ukrainian President, while a tweet from the President attacking her during the impeachment inquiry hearing sparked a real-time response and new Democratic accusations of witness intimidation.Trump tweeted as former Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch's testimony was underway that "everywhere Marie Yovanovitch went turned bad," which prompted a response minutes later from House Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff, a California Democrat, who allowed Yovanovitch to react to Trump's latest attacks. Schiff charged that the tweet was "designed to intimidate" her and other witnesses."Now the President in real time is attacking you," Schiff said. "What effect do you think that has on other witnesses' willingness to come forward and expose wrongdoing?""It's very intimidating," Yovanovitch said.The real-time back-and-forth playing out both over Twitter and in the House hearing room added fresh accusations to the second open House impeachment hearing, with several Democrats suggesting Trump's intimidation could wind up in potential articles of impeachment. 1263

While it never threatened the superiority of the NFL, the Arena Football League once provided an affordable alternative for families to attend professional football games. At its peak, it attracted more than 2 million fans per year, with franchises in major metropolitan areas such as New York, Los Angeles and Chicago. Unlike traditional football, Arena Football brought fans closer to the action on smaller fields. Games typically were much higher scoring than traditional football.But in the last decade, the once popular indoor adaption of America's most popular sport crumbled. Years of crumbling culminated on Wednesday when the league announced it is officially disbanding. “We’re all disappointed that we couldn’t find a way forward and we wanted to thank our fans, our players, coaches, everyone who loved the Arena Football League," AFL Commissioner Randall Boe said. "We all love the game and tried very hard to make it successful, but we simply weren’t able to raise the capital necessary to grow the League, resolve the substantial legacy liabilities and make it financially viable.” In October, the league announced that it was suspending local operations at its six markets as it contemplated its future. The league has been on shaky ground since the league canceled the 2009 season amid a labor dispute between players and the league. When the league returned in 2010, average attendance in the league dwindled from nearly 13,000 fans per game to just over 8,000. League participation had dwindled too as only four teams were fielded in 2018, although two new clubs participated in 2019. Justin Boggs is a writer for the E.W. Scripps National Desk. 1678

While negotiations continue in Congress to reach a deal to avert a partial government shutdown, there is virtually no chance a vote will happen Friday night -- all but assuring there will be a government shutdown at midnight.The House has adjourned, and Senate Majority Whip John Cornyn says there will be no vote Friday night in the Senate.Barring any very unexpected change, the third government shutdown of the year will happen.Vice President Mike Pence, budget director Mick Mulvaney and Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, were on Capitol Hill on Friday afternoon meeting with senators, including Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, a New York Democrat, about finding a solution.The President has repeatedly said he is unwilling to accept anything less than billion for his long-promised border wall. But the fact that the billion border wall is viewed as a measure that would be impossible to pass in the Senate indicates that votes aren't there on the Hill to meet the President's demand.Funding for roughly a quarter of the federal government expires at midnight, including appropriations for the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Justice, the Department of Housing and Urban Development and other parts of the government. 1266

Where the Mississippi River nears its end, sits a city that nearly faced its own end.“It’s a different kind of place,” said Louisiana native Hosea LaFleur.Nearly 15 years after Hurricane Katrina, New Orleans remains a city where the past never strays too far from the present. The storm is still felt by every homeowner here on their homeowners’ insurance bills.After the storm, insurance companies no longer wanted to offer homeowners insurance in parts of Louisiana that were vulnerable to hurricanes. They thought it was a money-loser.So, the state created Citizens Insurance. Initially controversial, it was funded by all the property owners in the state, including people who didn’t live anywhere near the damaged areas.“That certainly was a hard sell for those folks,” said Louisiana Insurance Commissioner Jim Donelon.Louisiana’s Citizens Insurance eventually helped stabilize the insurance market after Katrina and attracted more than 30 new insurance companies to the state. The number of homeowners on Citizens has also since plummeted, from 174,000 in 2008 to about 38,000 today, representing about 0.4 percent of the market there.“The policyholders are contributing fees, as well as the companies writing business contribute fees,” said Joey O’Connor, owner of the O’Connor Insurance Group and president of the Independent Insurance Agents and Brokers of Louisiana.Hosea LaFleur’s coastal home is on Citizens Insurance.“Just fell in love with it,” he said of the home. “Fell in love with the people, the things, the atmosphere.”It’s been hit by hurricanes twice: first Katrina in 2005 and then Gustav, three years later.“Knocked our walls down, everything down,” LaFleur said.Despite the repeated rebuilding, he wouldn’t dream of giving it up.“It's home to us,” LaFleur said. “We love it. We love everything about it.”Robert Allen is an adjunct professor at the School of Professional Advancement at Tulane University. His courses specialize in risk management and threat assessments. “That's going to start adding up,” he said, of rebuilding in vulnerable natural disaster areas. “Who foots the bill at the end of the day? You do. I do. Everybody else does.”Last year, the U.S. experienced 14 separate billion-dollar natural disasters: two hurricanes, two winter storms, eight severe storms, wildfires and a drought.From California wildfires to Midwest floods to coastal hurricanes, Allen said that as some insurance companies pull back from covering some areas, taxpayers will need to figure out if they want to keep footing the rebuilding bill.“At the end of the day is going to come down to money,” he said. “I mean, how much money is being put into that and at what point again do you decide this is enough?”Allen said one idea that’s been floated is to create a federal natural disaster insurance program, similar to the national flood insurance program. Taxpayers everywhere would be responsible for keeping it solvent.“There was talk or there is some kind of undertones about doing that with all hazards threats -- like doing that with the fires and just underwriting some of this stuff,” Allen said.It’s a challenge that taxpayers will have to confront, if they chose to rebuild areas hit over and over again by nature’s fury. 3259
