Two Democratic congresswomen on Tuesday introduced a bill that would block federal funding for the 2026 men's World Cup until the US Women's National Team earns "fair and equitable wages compared to the US men's team."The legislation, co-sponsored by Reps. Doris Matsui of California and Rosa DeLauro of Connecticut, comes amid the team's longstanding battle for equal pay.Months before the tournament, members of the Women's National team filed a lawsuit against the US Soccer Federation, claiming they deserve to be paid what the American men are paid for their international performances. In one hypothetical case cited in the lawsuit, if the women's and men's teams both won 20 straight games in a season, the women would make 38% what the men do.Matsui and DeLauro say the federal government shouldn't make any financial contribution for the 2026 tournament, which will be spread through venues across the US, Canada and Mexico, until the playing field is level for female athletes."Until the USSF provides real reforms ensuring equitable pay for our male and female athletes, the U.S. government has no business contributing potentially billions of dollars in support for the 2026 World Cup," Matsui said in a statement.DeLauro said federal funding for the men's tournament in 2026 would be "encouraging the pay gap to continue.""Congress needs to ensure women in the same job are getting the same pay," DeLauro said in a statement.Two weeks ago, Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin introduced a Senate version of the bill, which would similarly block federal funding until US Soccer agrees to "provide equitable pay."Still, it's unclear just how much money would actually be withheld if the bills succeed in Congress. 1728

When Beto O'Rourke opened the first Democratic debate by answering a question about tax rates in Spanish, he appeared to get some shade from Sen. Cory Booker.The New Jersey Democrat initially looked taken aback, impressed or jealous at the power move, which highlighted O'Rourke's ability to speak the language fluently and may have distracted from the fact that he could not or would not answer the specific question about whether he would support a 70% top tax rate.But maybe Booker was just frustrated that he didn't get to speak Spanish first. He pulled out his own language skills a short time later when the subject turned to immigration.One of the moderators, José Diaz-Balart, got in on the act as well, asking O'Rourke a question about the border in Spanish before repeating it in English.After the debate, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez called the candidates' answers in Spanish "humorous, sometimes" but said they were "a good gesture to the fact that we are a diverse country.""I loved it, because I represent the Bronx. There was a lot of Spanglish in the building," the progressive congresswoman from New York told Stephen Colbert on "The Late Show." She also joked that because of the "content of the questions," she thought candidates may declare in Spanish, "I will not give you an answer to your question."If the importance of Latino voters to Democrats was in question (it wasn't), the translating Wednesday night was proof that Democrats want to appeal to Latino voters.According to census data collected in the American Community Survey, 21.3% of people in the United States speak a language other than English at home. Most of those, 13.2% of people in the United States, speak Spanish at home.It's larger percentages in some key Democratic states, such as California, which moved its primary to earlier in the process for 2020, and 28.7% of people speak Spanish at home.In Texas, home to both O'Rourke and former San Antonio Mayor Julián Castro, 29.5% of people speak Spanish at home.Castro, by the way, has admitted his Spanish skills are not top rate and he rarely spoke the language at home growing up even though his mother is a native speaker. At the end of the debate, he said one line: his name and that he's running for President. In English, he continued that that's the American dream since his grandmother emigrated from Mexico and now one of her grandsons is running for president and his twin brother is in Congress.O'Rourke learned the language growing up in El Paso, Texas, along the Mexico border. He and Castro tangled at the debate on immigration policy. Castro wants to decriminalize undocumented border crossings.Booker learned Spanish during a language immersion program in Ecuador. Bill de Blasio, the New York City mayor, did not speak Spanish at the debate, but he can.But neither O'Rourke's nor Booker's Spanish was flawless.When asked whether he supported a marginal tax rate of 70% on top earners making more than million a year, O'Rourke began his response in English."This economy has got to work for everyone and right now we know that it isn't, and it's going to take all of us coming together to make sure that it does," he said.He then switched to Spanish, saying, "We need to include each person in the success of this economy. But if we want to do that, we need to include each person in our democracy. Each voter, we need the representation, and each voice, we must listen to."He then reverted back to English for the rest of his remarks.O'Rourke made some notable errors, however. For example, he used masculine adjectives to describe "economy" and "democracy," which are feminine nouns in Spanish and he used the verb "to vote" before correcting himself and using the Spanish word for voter.When asked what he would do on Day One of his presidency if elected, Booker replied in Spanish, "The situation right now is unacceptable. This president has attacked, has demonized immigrants -- it's unacceptable and I will change this one."He then switched to English, saying, "On Day One, I will make sure that No. 1, we end the ICE policies and the customs and border policies that are violating the human rights. When people come to this country, they do not leave their human rights at the border."Booker's Spanish was also imperfect, as he said that he would change "this one" instead of "this."O'Rourke was also asked the Day One question, although in Spanish, by Diaz-Balart."We will treat each person with the respect and dignity that they deserve as humans," he said in Spanish.Marianne Williamson joked on Twitter that she needs to learn Spanish by Thursday night when the other 10 Democrats who have qualified for this first slate of debates square off.The-CNN-Wire? & ? 2019 Cable News Network, Inc., a Time Warner Company.

We all know that leaving our dogs in the car on a hot sunny day for a long period of time is a bad idea. Temperatures can rise faster than we realize, putting our pets’ health and lives at risk.William Loopesko says he’s created a tool to help with just that.“I live in Colorado with my dog, Clovis. And Clovis and I enjoy hiking in the mountains, camping, etc, but that requires taking him in the car,” Loopesko says.Long car rides mean the occasional—and required—pit stop.“So, I wanted to have a way to be able to check on him and know that he’s always OK when I can’t be there with him,” he says.Loopesko created “PuppTech,” a device for your car that measures temperature and humidity levels.“It tells you the heat index, transmits all that data over a cellular connection, so I can at any time pull up how Clovis is doing on my phone.”Clovis is a 7-year-old male Labrador retriever, and Loopesko says his “comfortable” temperature range is anywhere between 41 and 72 degrees. The temperature ranges vary depending on the breed, sex, and age of the dog.“If it was above the 84 degrees for Clovis, I would be getting a text message every 5 minutes saying, ‘Hey it’s too hot. Hey it’s too hot. Hey it’s too hot.’”Decals on car windows let others know that a dog’s health is being monitored while an owner is away.But experts say an app should never replace common sense.“I worry that it could be a little bit of a false sense of security for some people,” says veterinarian Dr. Leslie Longo with Denver’s VCA Firehouse animal hospital.“I think you still have to be mindful if you’re leaving your dog in the car that it could still get hot, something could go wrong.”Loopesko says he wouldn’t disagree, but he says the app gives people one more tool for those times when owners just don’t have a choice.“If dogs were allowed to go everywhere, then our product wouldn’t need to exist,” Loopesko says.Loopesko says PuppTech is already being shipped out to its crowdfunders, and he expects it’ll be available to the general public before the end of the year. 2069

VATICAN CITY — A Vatican spokesman has confirmed the walled city-state's first case of COVID-19. Spokesman Matteo Bruni said Friday that a health clinic used by Vatican employees and their families has been closed for sanitizing. A Vatican official was put into a protective quarantine after a priest from France's Catholic church in Rome tested positive for the virus. The Vatican Apostolic Library says it plans to stay closed next week as a precaution. Pope Francis has been under the weather for over a week, but the Vatican has said it's nothing more than a cold. The 83-year-old lost part of a lung to a respiratory illness when he was a young man. 666
