The Senate is set to vote Monday on two competing disaster relief bills, neither of which is expected to pass, according to aides in both parties.The first vote, scheduled for 5:30 p.m. ET, is on whether to advance GOP legislation authored by Senate Appropriations Chairman Richard Shelby. It would allocate roughly .5 billion for rebuilding and recovery from natural disasters such as tornadoes, earthquakes, hurricanes and wildfires. The legislation includes 0 million to pay for nutrition assistance for Puerto Rico. If it fails to advance, senators will vote on a disaster relief package passed by the Democratic-controlled House months ago.Democrats oppose the Republican Senate proposal in part, because they argue it does not include enough aid for hurricane-ravaged Puerto Rico. Republicans, meanwhile, have criticized Democrats for their opposition by pointing to the fact that the House-passed legislation does not include relief for recent flooding that has devastated the Midwest.The votes will put both Democrats and Republicans in a position of political peril as opposition to either measure opens up lawmakers to attacks from the opposing party accusing them of putting American citizens at risk by failing to green-light needed disaster relief.Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell called the House bill a "non-starter" in remarks on the Senate floor on Monday because, he said, it provides "nothing for Midwest flooding."Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer attacked the GOP position in advance of the vote Monday."Republican senators are attempting to strip away recovery funds from Puerto Rico and other territories from the disaster package that passed the House," Schumer said on the Senate floor on Monday. The top Senate Democrat described the administration's response to the devastating impact hurricanes have had on Puerto Rico as "cruel" and "nasty," and said, "President Trump tweets while Puerto Rico suffers."President Donald Trump worked to put pressure on Democrats, saying on Twitter that "Democrats should stop fighting" the Republican legislation and claiming that they are "blocking funding and relief for our great farmers and rural America.Democrats, however, have argued that the GOP relief effort provides insufficient funding for Puerto Rico because it fails to include a variety of measures that were part of the roughly .2 billion relief package passed by Democrats who control the House in January. Those measures include state revolving funds that could be used by Puerto Rico to rebuild water systems that have sustained damage as well as a 100% cost share for the Federal Emergency Management Agency that Democrats say would unlock federal aid for Puerto Rico.Senate Democrats must now decide to whether to block the billion-dollar package over their concerns.Partisan tensions over the issue of funding for Puerto Rico became further inflamed last week after the President again 2954

The sister of Los Angeles Clippers star Kawhi Leonard is one of two women charged in connection with an assault that left an 84-year-old woman dead, according to a report.On August 31, authorities found Afaf Anis Assad unconscious in a California casino bathroom, the Riverside County Sheriff's Department said in a news release. Investigators determined she "may have been the victim of an assault."Assad was transferred to a hospital near the Pechanga Resort Casino where she died from her injuries days later, the sheriff's department said."We are absolutely saddened over this incident and are praying for the victim and her family," President of the Pechanga Development Corporation Jared Munoa said.Kimesha Williams, 35, and Candace Townsel, 39, were both arrested and charged with robbery and murder "due to their involvement in Assad's death," the department said."The suspects were quickly identified through surveillance footage and the information was immediately provided to local law enforcement," Munoa said. "We pride ourselves on putting the safety of our guests and Team Members first and are fully cooperating with law enforcement to bring these perpetrators to justice."Williams' aunt, Denise Woodard, confirmed Williams' connection to the NBA star to 1283

The U.S. Air Force has released preliminary information on an inspection across the Air Force Academy grounds to determine if there elevated levels of chemicals found in firefighting foam and other industrial products in the ground and groundwater. As a result, the Air Force will begin inspecting drinking wells south of the Academy, including the Woodmen Valley area, for potential contamination. According to a release, the results show groundwater samples contain levels higher than the Environmental Protection Agency Lifetime Health Advisory, which allows for 70 parts per trillion. These compounds have not been detected in water supplied by Colorado Springs Utilities to the Air Force Academy, according to the release. The statement references voluntary sampling conducted in January showed results at or below the EPA limit of 10 parts per trillion for water supplies. As a result of the higher than acceptable levels found on-base, Air Force officials will now coordinate to test drinking water wells south of the government-owned property.The chemicals involved are Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) and Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), part of the family of 1185

Travel to Cuba has become more difficult -- and more confusing -- for US citizens and travelers subject to American jurisdiction.Cruise ships will no longer be allowed to sail to the Caribbean island, according to a Trump administration announcement Tuesday, and the industry is scrambling to understand the full implications of the policy change.Norwegian Cruise Line said in a statement that the company is "closely monitoring these recent developments and any resulting impact to cruise travel to Cuba. We will communicate to our guests and travel partners as additional information becomes available."Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines announced that it is changing itineraries for June 5 and June 6 sailings that were scheduled to go to Cuba. The cruise line also said it is still evaluating the impact of the announcement.Several other cruise companies did not immediately reply to CNN's request for comment.Confusion surrounding the ban is palpable among cruise companies, travel websites and passengers with tickets to Cuba.Erica Silverstein, a senior editor at cruise review site Cruise Critic says the company is "in a holding pattern, waiting on next steps as cruise lines work to decipher what today's announcement means for their specific products."As far as ticketed passengers go, Silverstein says they are fielding questions on what the ban means for people who've paid in full or who are waiting to make final payments on planned trips to Cuba."It's worth noting that cruise lines are able to swap itineraries relatively quickly. We see it often during inclement weather, or in the wake of disruption in particular regions," Silverstein explains. "While nothing is definitive right now, if the lines are mandated to cancel sailings to Cuba, we'll likely see changes in the form of itinerary adjustments."The Trump administration policy change also eliminates group people-to-people travel (educational and cultural exchanges of a non-academic nature) as an approved sub-category of travel for Americans.The Treasury Department in a statement clarified that "certain group people-to-people educational travel that previously was authorized will continue to be authorized where the traveler had already completed at least one travel-related transaction (such as purchasing a flight or reserving accommodation) prior to June 5, 2019."JetBlue, United Airlines and Southwest Airlines have released statements saying they are reviewing the changes and intend to comply with the new rules.Under former President Barack Obama, rules around travel to Cuba were loosened, making it easier for individual Americans to comply with certain approved categories of travel without a formal application and approval process.President Trump tightened those rules in November 2017, only allowing people-to-people travel in groups traveling under the supervision of a US entity."That sub-category of travel has been eliminated, but there is a grandfathering provision that basically allows US travelers that have, for example, booked a flight or booked rooms and were contemplating doing a people-to-people trip, they are allowed to complete it," said Pedro Freyre, a partner and chair of the international practice at national law firm Akerman, which has cruise lines and airlines among its clients."But that doesn't align with shutting down the ability of the cruises to go in," Freyre said.It's that misalignment that has cruise lines scrambling to figure out how the new policies will impact their operations.And it leaves passengers booked on upcoming sailings in limbo. 3578
