Despite widespread bipartisan support, Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., is putting the brakes on the Emmett Till Antilynching Act, which previously passed by a 410-4 margin by the House. The bill would be the first to make lynching a federal crime by broadening the coverage of the current laws against lynching and would specify the act of lynching as a hate crime. People who violate the bill’s provisions could be subject to criminal fines, so the federal government might collect additional fines under the legislation. Criminal fines are recorded as revenues, deposited in the Crime Victims Fund, and later spent without further appropriation action.Paul said that as proposed, he opposes the bill. He offered an amendment to the bill, claiming the current legislation is too broad.“Lynching is a tool of terror that claimed the lives of nearly 5,000 Americans between 1881 and 1968,” Paul said. “But this bill would cheapen the meaning of lynching by defining it so broadly as to include a minor bruise or abrasion. Our nation's history of racial terrorism demands more seriousness from us than that.”The bill is named after Emmett Till, a 14-year-old African American who was brutally murdered in 1955. An all-white jury found Roy Bryant and JW Milam not guilty following Till's death. Not facing the possibility of prosecution, the duo admitted to killing Till in a lynching following acquittal. Paul invoked Till’s name as he air his criticism of the legislation. “It would be a disgrace for the congress of the united states to declare that a bruise is lynching, that an abrasion is lynching, that any injury to the body, no matter how temporary, is on par with the atrocities done to people like Emmett Till, Raymond Gunn and Sam Hose, who were killed for no reason but because they were black,” Paul said. “To do that, would demean their history and cheapen limping in our country.”Paul’s move, which slowed swift passage of the legislation, angered Senate Democrats. The legislation passed through the House on Feb. 26.Without unanumous passage, it is unclear how long it will take for the bill to make its way to President Donald Trump's desk.“Senator Paul is now trying to weaken a bill that was already passed,” Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., said. “There is no reason for this. There's no reason for this. Senator Paul's amendment would place a greater burden on victims of lynching than is currently required under federal hate crimes laws. There is no reason for this. There is no reason other than cruel and deliberate obstruction on a day of mourning.”“I am so raw today,” Sen. Cory Booker, D-NY, said. Of all days that we're doing this. Of all days that we're doing this right now, having this discussion when, God, if this bill passed today, what that would mean for America that this body.” “I do not need my colleague, the senator from Kentucky, to tell me about one lynching in this country,” Booker added. “I've stood in the museum in Montgomery, Alabama, and watched African-American families weeping at the stories of pregnant women lynched in this country and their babies ripped out of them while this body did nothing. I can hear the screams as this body and membership can of the unanswered cries for justice of our ancestors.” 3261

DENVER — Social distancing orders have taken effect across the country because of COVID-19. But there are still those who choose to ignore the orders, and experts warn it could be a formula for disaster.The world has separated into two groups — the rule-followers who are social distancing in the hopes of "flattening the curve" — and the risk-takers storming the world's beaches and parks in spite of COVID-19. It's an attitude upon which America was built — the freedom of choice. However, experts report that it could be the very reason why the United States could be in a worse position than other countries when it comes to recovering from COVID-19.Which begs the question — why are some people ignoring the social distancing orders?"Our happiness is definitely related to social connection," said Tali Sharot, a professor of cognitive neuroscience at the University of College London. "It's restricted in this situation. It's also related to our sense of control. It's also an example of optimism bias, where we believe our likelihood of encountering these events is much lower than other people.""Humans have a contact need," Dr. Wayne Pernell said. "So, when it comes to people ignoring the social distancing order for that contact need, there's this sense of 'well I'm clean.' No one wants to feel like they're a carrier, and no one wants to feel like they're dirty."Some medical experts said that ignoring guidance from health experts can be disastrous. "I think the reason why people ignore the social distancing is because there are mixed messages about the severity from the White House," said Amy Fairchild, a public health ethicist and the dean of Ohio State University's College of Public Health. "I would say we are on a worse trajectory than China was on because China had better access to test early on. The capacity to enforce social distancing is better in China. There are an authoritarian nation and they are willing to use the police, law enforcement and the military in ways that we are not willing to use in this country. We have to rely far more on persuasion."In order to stay safe, medical experts suggest finding ways to connect with people while being physically apart."A lot of people say we shouldn't call it social distancing – we should call it physical distancing," Sharot said."Even just a month ago, we were saying put the tech down, reach out to somebody and connect with them in person," Pernell said. "Now we're saying keep away from people and pick up the tech – that's a huge shift in our thinking, and that's an option." 2577

Do you know what to do during an earthquake? Unlike tornadoes or hurricanes, earthquakes don't come with warnings. Surviving a major earthquake involves making split-second decisions. That is why experts suggest having a plan for earthquakes before the shaking begins. While it was once suggested that standing in a door jamb was a safe place to go, it is no longer suggested to stand in a door jamb. Not only could a door swing back and forth causing injury, but exterior features could fall along the exterior wall, the University of Washington says. If you are inside, you should not go outside, the USGS suggests. So what do you do if you're outside? Stay there.Should: If inside, take cover under something sturdyShouldn't: Take cover inside a door jambShould: If outside, stay outsideShouldn't: Run outside during an earthquakeShould: If driving, carefully come to a stopShouldn't: Expect any warning before an earthquake strikesThe best place to be is inside a well-made structure, taking cover under something sturdy, Susan Garcia of the USGS said. A person outdoors unable to get inside should get away from things that could fall, including power lines and trees.Garcia also suggests securing belongings stored on shelves as a way to take precautions during an earthquake. “Secure your space,” Garcia said. “Move heavier items like potted plants, to lower the floor or lower shelves, move things that can fall on your or away from you."These rules don't just apply to those on the West Coast, but in the Midwest and East Coast as well. While powerful earthquakes are more common in places like Alaska and California, parts of the Eastern US are just as vulnerable. Although the Eastern United States has not had any major earthquakes in the last century, two of America’s most powerful quakes have happened east of the Rockies. The magnitude 5.8 earthquake that caused damage to the Washington Monument in 2011 is only a minor example of the kind of earthquakes the Eastern United States could see.In 1811 and 1812, a series of earthquakes struck the Mississippi River valley along the New Madrid fault. The strongest of the quakes was a possible magnitude 7.8. The quake was felt across much of the Eastern United States.In 1866, a magnitude 7.0 rattled Charleston, S.C.Adding to the risk, building codes in the Eastern United States aren't written with earthquakes in mind. U.S. Army estimates suggest a repeat of the magnitude 7.8 could kill thousands. For more information what you should do and shouldn't do during an earthquake, click 2563

Chris Nuss spends nearly every free minute of his time at work rebuilding his home.His sons watch and learn while getting an unexpected hands-on lesson on how to overcome adversity.In March, a flood destroyed their home in Pacific Junction, a tiny town in western Iowa.The water nearly reached their second-floor windows.“There was 12 to 14 feet of water at our house,” Chris Nuss’ wife Catie said.She says it took a month before the family could get to their home.“We paddled in a canoe and a jon boat,” Catie says. “I was not prepared to go inside. I was in shock.”While the family fixes their home, they’ve been living inside this camper parked in the driveway — six people and three pets crammed inside for the past five months.“It’s like living in a box, literally,” she says.To get them back in their home, Catie says they’ve received about ,000 in disaster aid from the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the maximum amount FEMA gives out for repairs.That’s far short of the 0,000 Catie estimates it will take to finish the job.Now the family’s finances are also underwater after racking up credit card debt and wiping out a retirement account.“I had about ,000 in there, not a whole lot, but that’s gone,” Catie says. “We had maybe ,000-7,000 in our savings before FEMA, that’s gone.”But the family is desperate to get back into their home they worked so hard to get and are fighting so hard to keep.“When we bought this house, it was a forever home and we’ve learned again, it’s our forever home,” she says. “We’re taking advantage of the situation trying to look at the positive.”Each small milestone gives them just enough energy to keep going.“When I got power turned on, I think maybe for 10 minutes, I flipped one light switched off and on just like a little kid, being amazed that it worked,” Chris says.If things stay on track, the family hopes to be back in their home for the holidays.“We’ve had a few family members ask if we’re hosting Thanksgiving,” Catie says. “I keep saying ‘yes,’ so we will be in by Thanksgiving.” 2064
