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

Rape between people who are not married has always been illegal. However, until 1975, every state in the country had a marital exception. A husband could legally rape his wife. It has only been since 1993 that all 50 states have had laws making marital rape a crime, but in many states, there are loopholes.Now, one lawmaker in Michigan is working to close the state's marital rape loophole.It started with a message on Twitter. A constituent wrote State Rep. Laurie Pohutsky asking if she knew there is a loophole for marital rape in certain circumstances.If you look at the law, the first thing you see is that you can be charged with criminal sexual conduct in Michigan – even if the victim is your legal spouse.However, there is a glaring exception.You can not be charged with criminal sexual conduct if you had sex with your spouse while they were mentally incapacitated. 888

Special counsel Robert Mueller's team has expressed reluctance to him testifying publicly in front of the House Judiciary Committee, according to sources familiar with the matter.The special counsel's team has expressed the notion that Mueller does not want to appear political after staying behind the scenes for two years and not speaking as he conducted his investigation into President Donald Trump. One option is to have him testify behind closed doors, but sources caution numerous options are being considered in the negotiations between the committee and the special counsel's team.Justice officials are generally supportive of how the special counsel's team is proceeding with negotiations. As Attorney General Bill Barr told The Wall Street Journal last week: "It's Bob's call whether he wants to testify."Special counsel spokesman Peter Carr and the Justice Department declined to comment on the current status of negotiations.House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler, a New York Democrat, has repeatedly said that Mueller must appear publicly, and he will subpoena Mueller if necessary."Eventually we will hear from Mueller because ... we will subpoena him if we have to," Nadler told CNN earlier this month. "I certainly hope it doesn't come to the, to our necessity to subpoena him," he added.Rep. Doug Collins, the top Republican on the Judiciary Committee, suggested at Tuesday's hearing, a meeting where former White House counsel Don McGahn did not appear after being subpoenaed, that Democrats appeared to have a lack of urgency scheduling Mueller's testimony."We've subpoenaed the documents, we've subpoenaed the underlying documents, we've subpoenaed stuff that we can't get, but the one thing that we seem to avoid is Mr. Mueller himself, the one who wrote it," Collins said. "We've asked since April about Mr. Mueller coming. But every time we seem to get close to Mueller, Mueller just gets pushed on a little bit. Haven't seen a subpoena here, and this is what's really amazing -- we'll get back to subpoenas in a moment -- but just think about that. You wanted the work of the author, but you don't want to talk to the author."After the hearing, Collins would not say whether he'd support a subpoena for Mueller's testimony.Separately, Nadler told CNN's Chris Cuomo on Monday he doesn't know what's keeping Mueller as an employee of the Justice Department, suggesting he was "more subject to their discipline" than he would be as a private citizen. "The report is finished. I don't know why he is still there," Nadler said.Mueller has been seen arriving for work almost every morning since the report was released in April.The Justice Department has not commented on what work still remains. 2726

SHOREWOOD, Wis. — A Wisconsin physical education teacher has been placed on leave after allegedly telling African-American students to reenact slavery and "slavery games."April 1 was a typical day in gym class at Shorewood Intermediate School until seventh-grader Alexis Averette says she was assigned an odd game by PE instructor Jan Zehren. “Ms. Zehren forced me and my partner to reenact slavery in front of the entire class," she said. "When we told her we were uncomfortable she told us we still had to do it."While some students presented dodge ball, others say they were paired up by race and told to reenact "slavery games." When Alexis and her partner proposed another game, the students say they were told it was too common.When Alexis told her parents, her mother and father were shocked. “She came home and she told me she had to reconstruct games ever played during slavery," said Alexis's father, Yuri Averette. "Yeah, I was completely shocked. I knew it was a problem immediately when she said she was uncomfortable."Averette and other parents voiced their concerns to the school. In response, Zehren was escorted out of building and placed on leave.Zehren has taught physical education in the Shorewood School District for 36 years. The school district sent a letter to students and parents saying they were investigating. Parents like Averette are seeking justice and want Zehern fired.“We don’t want (that) here and that’s not just for my child but for any other child. No one should have to go through this,” Averette said.In a statement, Shorewood Superintendent Bryans David said, “We are committed to providing an environment of inclusion in our schools.” WTMJ reached out to Zehren at her home, but did not get an answer. 1757
