Evening summary

Thanks for sticking with us, everyone. Have a happy Monday!

  • Vice President Dick Cheney pressed Vice President Pence on Trump’s foreign policy: “I worry that the bottom line of that kind of an approach is we have an administration that looks a lot more like Barack Obama than Ronald Reagan,” he said.
  • The Federal Aviation Administration issued a Continued Airworthiness Notification regarding the Boeing 737 MAX 8. This comes after an Ethiopian Airlines MAX 8 crash that killed all 157 aboard raised questions about the safety of the aircraft.

Representative Ilhan Omar thanked Fox News for condemning host Jeanine Pirro’s remarks about her hijab.

The Federal Aviation Administration issued a Continued Airworthiness Notification to international carriers later Monday regarding the Boeing 737 MAX 8 in light of two fatal crashes since October, Reuters is reporting.

Sunday’s crash of an Ethiopian Airlines MAX 8 that killed all 157 aboard has raised questions about the safety of the new aircraft, but US transportation secretary Elaine Chao said on Monday the FAA believes the MAX 8 is airworthy.

From Reuters:

“If the FAA identifies an issue that affects safety, the department will take immediate and appropriate action,” Chao told reporters. “I want people to be assured that we take these incidents, these accidents very seriously.”

Canada’s transport minister said he will not hesitate to act once the cause of the crash is known.

FAA chief Dan Elwell on Monday said the notification basically “informs the international community where we are and (gives) sort of ... one answer to the whole community.” He dubbed it a “broadcast to the world about where we are.”

Paul Hudson, the president of FlyersRights.org and a member of the FAA Aviation Rulemaking Advisory Committee, on Monday said the plane should be grounded.

“The FAA*s ‘wait and see’ attitude risks lives as well as the safety reputation of the U.S. aviation industry,” Hudson said in a statement Monday.

The National Transportation Safety Board and the FAA are both at the crash site in Ethiopia, Chao said.

Former Vice President Dick Cheney grilled Vice President Pence this weekend on President Trump’s foreign policy decisions, going so far as to compare the president’s “isolationist instincts to those of his Democratic predecessor Barack Obama,” the Washington Post is reporting.

At the closed-door retreat hosted by the American Enterprise Institute on March 9 in Sea Island, Ga., Cheney respectfully but repeatedly and firmly pressed Pence on a number of the president’s foreign policy decisions — over which Cheney expressed concerns — from taking a harder line toward U.S. allies in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization to deciding to withdraw troops from Syria during what Cheney fretted was “the middle of a phone call.”

Cheney also worried aloud to Pence that “we’re getting into a situation when our friends and allies around the world that we depend upon are going to lack confidence in us,” and then offered a blunt criticism of the current administration’s response to foreign policy.

“I worry that the bottom line of that kind of an approach is we have an administration that looks a lot more like Barack Obama than Ronald Reagan,” he said.

Cheney’s questions for Pence — which prompted Pence to joke about the lack of “softball” topics — provide a revealing glimpse into the churning and often strained debates inside the Republican Party, where longtime GOP hawks such as Cheney have increasingly balked at Trump’s engagement with autocrats and his noninterventionist approach to U.S. military efforts in the Middle East.

The discussion also underscored Pence’s comfort in acting as Trump’s unwavering ally and spokesman before a crowd of powerful Republican skeptics and donors, with the vice president shrugging off most of Cheney’s anxieties and praising Trump as a candid and transformational leader.

Nancy Pelosi dismisses calls for Trump's impeachment

In an interview with the Washington Post, Speaker Nancy Pelosi was bearish on the prospects of impeaching Donald Trump.

“I’m not for impeachment. … Impeachment is so divisive to the country that unless there’s something so compelling and overwhelming and bipartisan, I don’t think we should go down that path, because it divides the country. He’s just not worth it.”

2020 Democrats are flocking to help a candidate in a special election for the Iowa State Senate. Eric Giddens is the Democratic nominee in a swing district in Waterloo and Cedar Falls, Iowa and is getting help from a host of presidential contenders, including New Jersey Democrat Cory Booker.

A poll of Iowa Republicans conducted by the Des Moines Register found that 40% hope Trump faces a primary challenger while only 41% don’t.

However, despite that data, Republicans in the Hawkeye State have an overwhelmingly positive view of Trump.

The president has gained in popularity since registered Iowa Republicans were last polled in December. Eighty-two percent now view him favorably, up 5 percentage points, and 15 percent view him unfavorably, down 3 percentage points.

Sixty-seven percent of registered Iowa Republicans definitely plan to vote for Trump in 2020, the poll finds. Eighteen percent say they would consider voting for someone else, 9 percent say they definitely will vote for someone else, 3 percent are unsure and 2 percent don’t plan to vote.

Jeb Bush’s Super Pac, Right to Rise, just got hit with a major fine after Bush’s brother Neil solicited a donation from Chinese businessmen.

Neil has long been the black sheep of the Bush family. He was on the board of a failed savings and loan in the 1980s and drew unwanted attention through business dealings and personal life when his brother George was President in the 2000s.

Former top White House aide Steve Bannon will appear in a rally in Cincinnati tomorrow to promote the construction of a wall on the US-Mexico-border. He will appear alongside other conservative celebrities like former Milwaukee County sheriff David Clarke and former Kansas secretary of state Kris Kobach.

In attacking Democrats for not forthrightly condemning Ilhan Omar’s most recent comments on Israel, which have been criticised by some as antisemitic, White House press secretary Sarah Sanders drew parallels to Trump’s willingness to condemn neo-Nazis in Charlottesville who marched carrying torches and proclaimed “Jews will not replace us”.

At a rare White House press briefing on Monday, Sanders said: “The president has condemned neo-Nazis and called them by name, which is what we are asking Democrats to do when they see this same type of hatred.”

Trump famously said after Charlottesville that there were very fine people on both sides.

  • This post was corrected on 11 March, to reflect that Ilhan Omar’s comments have been criticised as antisemitic. It also added further detail to explain that Sarah Sanders was speaking at the White House press briefing.

The head of the Wisconsin Republican party is panning Milwaukee, his state’s biggest city, which was selected today to host the Democratic National Convention.

“No city in America has stronger ties to socialism than Milwaukee,” the executive director told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. “And with the rise of Bernie Sanders and the embrace of socialism by its newest leaders, the American left has come full circle. It’s only fitting the Democrats would come to Milwaukee.”

Donald Trump’s budget proposal would cut spending at the National Science Foundation by $1 billion, the Hill reports.

Trump proposes cutting the research organization’s budget from $8.1 billion to $7.1 billion.

Media Matters has more audio of Fox News host Tucker Carlson to be released in the next day or so, which will “give some additional insight into Tucker’s worldview vis-a-vis race and ethnicity,” a spokesperson tells CNN.

Carlson has refused to apologize after the liberal media monitoring organization published audio of him making sexist comments in a series of appearances on a radio show.

Stacey Abrams rules out 2020 presidential run

Stacey Abrams has ruled out running for president in 2020.

The Georgia Democrat said Monday at the South by Southwest festival that she would consider running in the future but not this time around, the Hill reports.

“2028 would be the earliest I would be ready to stand for president,” said Abrams, a former state representative who ran unsuccessfully for Georgia governor last year.

Senator Patrick Leahy, the top Democrat on the Senate Appropriations Committee, called Donald Trump’s budget proposal “dead on arrival and divorced from reality.”

He said the budget “is not worth the paper it is printed on,” according to the Hill.

“Yet again, the President has proposed shortsighted cuts that would slash investments in infrastructure, medical research, and American families, cuts that have been rejected by Congress two fiscal years in a row,” Leahy said.

Donald Trump is claiming the championship in a golf tournament at one of his golf courses that he never won or competed in.

A new report by Golf.com explores the origin of a plaque on his locker at Trump International Golf Club, which proclaimed him the 2018 Men’s Club Championship.

Trump actually won the title in a bet with Ted Virtue, an investment firm CEO who actually won the championship, the site reports. Trump ran into Virtue and challenged him to play nine holes, with the winner taking the title. The president won, though Golf.com notes no rules official was on hand. Trump then apparently told the CEO that the terms of the original bet weren’t fair, and they could be co-champions. That’s how the two men are now listed on a large club-championship plaque on a clubhouse wall, according to the report.

Donald Trump Jr defends Tucker Carlson over sexist remarks

Donald Trump Jr. is a fan of Fox News host Tucker Carlson’s response to a report unearthing sexist remarks he made on the radio years ago, which was emphatically not an apology.

“This is how to handle the outrage mob. Remember, even the most sincere apology means nothing to them,” the president’s son said in a tweet Monday. “They want to break and ruin you. That’s their end goal.”

When the Democratic National Convention comes to Milwaukee next summer, the city on the shores of Lake Michigan will have its long-awaited opportunity to show the world it’s shedding its Rust Belt image, the Associated Press reports:

State and local officials who successfully lobbied to lure the convention see a city on the rise, with a flurry of construction reshaping a downtown that was dead in the 1970s.

But Milwaukee has encountered difficulty rebranding itself. It went from an industrial powerhouse at the turn of the 20th century to a city in decline as manufacturing jobs began to disappear in the late 1970s.

“We’re much more diverse, much more kind of sprawled-out geographically, and certainly much more economically (diverse),” said John Gurda, a locally renowned Milwaukee historian who has written several books about the city.

Health care systems are now the biggest employers in the city, but Wisconsin and Milwaukee — home of iconic motorcycle-maker Harley-Davidson — haven’t entirely abandoned manufacturing. It remains a key sector of the state’s economy, though not at the level it was before. About 16 percent of Wisconsin’s workforce is in manufacturing — second only to Indiana but far below the 57 percent of 1951.

The convention venue, the $500 million home of the NBA’s Bucks, is the latest addition to a rejuvenated downtown. An arena district with restaurants and a 90-unit apartment building is also in the works — development the city hopes will draw visitors day and night to what was once an undeveloped area of downtown.

But that’s just a portion of the construction underway. About $5 billion is being spent on projects in and around downtown, including luxury apartment buildings, hotels, and the 25-story BMO Tower office building. A new streetcar began running a 2.5-mile route in November, going south from the city’s lakeshore to downtown. The line starts a short walk from Milwaukee’s art museum, noted for Santiago Calatrava’s distinctive addition with its towering white wings.

Donald Trump’s budget would hike defense spending by 4%, to $750 billion, according to Reuters.

It calls for a 23% cut to the State Department and 31% cut to EPA. It would cut foreign aid by $13 billion.

Sanders: Trump's budget 'breathtaking in its cruelty'

Senator and presidential candidate Bernie Sanders released a statement slamming Donald Trump’s budget proposal:

“The Trump budget is breathtaking in its degree of cruelty and filled with broken promises. Donald Trump promised the American people that he would be a different type of Republican, that he would be a champion of the working American and that he would not cut Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. But his budget does the exact opposite of what he promised the American people.

“At a time of massive wealth and income inequality, Trump’s budget pays for his huge tax break to the top one percent by cutting $1.5 trillion from Medicaid, $845 billion from Medicare and $25 billion from Social Security. Make no mistake about it: Trump’s budget is a massive transfer of wealth from working class families to the wealthiest people and most profitable corporations in America.

“At a time when the U.S. already spends more on the military than the next 10 countries combined, Trump is proposing an $861bn increase in base defense spending over a 10 year period. And he proposes to pay for it by cutting over $1tn from education, affordable housing, nutrition assistance and the needs of working families over a 10-year period. Trump’s proposed increase in base Pentagon spending could make public colleges and universities tuition-free over the next decade.

“This is a budget for the military industrial complex, for corporate CEOs, for Wall Street and for the billionaire class. It is dead on arrival.”

Donald Trump’s budget proposal totals $4.75 trillion, the largest in US history, the New York Times reports.

It proposes work requirements for working-age adults who get food stamps, federal housing subsidies, and Medicaid. Those rules would cut spending on those programs by a projected $327 million.

Trump’s request for a 5% cut in discretionary domestic spending would amount to $100 billion less than the federal government spent in 2019, according to the Times. (Trump’s 5% cut would apply to domestic spending caps already in place, but Congress blew past those caps in the 2019 budget).

The budget would reduce spending on the EPA and foreign aid, among other programs.

The budget does propose spending increases in some domestic programs: It would create a new school choice program, increase spending on veterans’ healthcare by 10%, spend $200 billion on infrastructure, and increase spending on efforts to combat the opioid epidemic, according to the Times.

Donald Trump releases budget proposal that would fund wall, cut domestic spending

Donald Trump has released his 2020 budget proposal.

The budget projects trillion-dollar deficits for the next four years, a New York Times reporter notes.

The budget includes domestic spending cuts of 5% across the board, according to the Hill.

It proposes $8.6 billion for a wall on the US-Mexico border.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer slammed the proposal in a joint statement, according to the Hill. “President Trump hurt millions of Americans and caused widespread chaos when he recklessly shut down the government to try to get his expensive and ineffective wall, which he promised would be paid for by Mexico,” they said. “Congress refused to fund his wall and he was forced to admit defeat and reopen the government. The same thing will repeat itself if he tries this again. We hope he learned his lesson.”

Donald Trump is telling Republicans to “get tough” and vote against a resolution, up for a vote in the Senate this week, that would terminate the national emergency he declared to get money for a border wall.

A handful of Republicans have said they’ll vote in favor of the resolution, enough that it is likely to pass. Trump would then likely veto it.

In a tweet Monday, Trump called it a “very easy vote” that is “about Border Security and the Wall” and not about “Constitutionality and Precedent.”

It is about constitutionality and precedent for some of the Republicans who plan to vote for it, who question Trump’s authority to issue the declaration and fear it could open the way for any president to declare an emergency to get his way on any issue where he couldn’t get Congressional approval.

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo plans to travel the country to build support for repealing a portion of the GOP tax bill that limited taxpayers’ ability to deduct state and local taxes from their federal taxes, per the Wall Street Journal. The law capped the state and local tax deduction at $10,000.

White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders is slated to hold her first on-camera press briefing in more than a month this afternoon, per AP.

Democrats choose Milwaukee for 2020 convention

Donald Trump was ridiculed for calling Apple CEO Tim Cook “Tim Apple” last week.

He falsely told Republican donors that he had actually quietly said “Tim Cook Apple,” according to Axios, which reported that donors in attendance called it one of Trump’s weirdest lies ever.

The news cycle had moved on, but Trump has apparently not let the incident go, claiming in a new tweet this morning that he “quickly referred to Tim + Apple as Tim/Apple as an easy way to save time & words.”

“The Fake News was disparagingly all over this, & it became yet another bad Trump story!” he wrote.

Donald Trump has endorsed a push to make daylight savings time permanent.

American’s clocks moved forward one hour in the wee hours of Sunday morning, an annual ritual that consistently provokes grumbling. Leaving daylight savings time in place permanently would end the twice-annual clock shifts and allow for later sunsets in the winter.

Senator Bernie Sanders’ presidential campaign will have dual headquarters in Vermont and Washington, DC, Politico reports.

The Vermont headquarters will be in Sanders’ hometown of Burlington. The DC headquarters is already open, while the Vermont office has not opened yet.

Alabama Senator Doug Jones called it “comical” to watch Republicans react to a potential comeback attempt by his erstwhile opponent Roy Moore.

Moore’s Senate campaign imploded among accusations he had inappropriate relationships with underaged girls, allowing Democrat Jones to win the Senate seat. But Moore said last week he’s seriously considering running again in 2020.

“What’s really kinda comical is what’s the reaction of the Republicans who all supported him a couple years ago, and now they’re talking about he’s a flawed candidate and yada yada yada,” Jones said Monday on CNN’s New Day. “So i think it’s kinda comical to watch these days. But we’ll be ready for whoever the nominee is next spring.”

With his victory in a 2017 special election, Jones became the first Democrat to represent Alabama in the Senate. Several Republicans are expected to run for the seat.

“I’m not worried about who’s running in my race in 2020. We’re focused on the same things we focused on last time, the kitchen table issues, the issues that means so much to people,” Jones said. “There will be a lot of people that run for that.”

Democratic Rep. Jim Himes said Monday his party was wrong to bar Fox News from hosting 2020 presidential primary debates.

“With all due respect to the DNC, no, I don’t think it was the right decision,” Himes, of Connecticut, said on CNN’s New Day. “It’s no surprise to anybody, including to Fox News watchers, that Fox News is largely an instrument of the right wing, of the Republican party. It’s a propaganda arm of the White House. However, and the reason I go on Fox, is that it’s watched by millions and millions of Americans.”

Democratic National Committee chairman Tom Perez said a New Yorker exposé on the depth of the Trump administration’s ties to Fox News cast doubt on the network’s capacity to hold a “fair and neutral” debate on the Democratic primaries.

“I’m a big believer if you put our ideas, Democratic ideas, which are about universal healthcare, making it easier for kids to go to college, making retirement more secure, against whatever nonsense is on the other side - cutting taxes for corporations and very wealthy people - hey, I don’t care what channel you’re on, we will have the appealing ideas,” Himes said.

He said that while appearances on Fox News shows can be “uncomfortable,” a debate would offer a more structured format.

“That’s a huge audience. As they say, you don’t need to persuade your friends, you need to persuade people who disagree with you. So I would have made a different decision,” he said.

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio’s advisers are skeptical to say the least about his potential presidential bid.

De Blasio, who traveled to South Carolina this weekend, has said he won’t rule out jumping into the already crowded 2020 Democratic primary field.

But Politico spoke to nearly three dozen former and current aides, consultants and allies who panned the idea or doubted de Blasio would go through with it.

One former aide called the idea “fucking insane.” Another said it was “idiotic.” “The empirical measurements of the city are good, but he can’t get off the ground because nobody likes the guy,” one former aide told Politico. “He is stubborn about doing things that he feels entitled to do, but don’t do him any favors politically and don’t make a lot of sense.”

Donald Trump will be unveiling his proposal for the federal budget today.

The president’s budget doesn’t carry the weight that it once did, Reuters reports. Congress is expected to largely ignore it. The proposed budget for 2020 comes a month after its deadline, which the White House has blamed on the government shutdown.

Some of what we know so far: The budget will do little to cut a ballooning federal deficit, the Associated Press reports:

Trump’s plan for the 2020 budget year will propose cuts to many domestic programs favored by lawmakers in both parties but leave alone politically popular retirement programs such as Medicare and Social Security.

Washington probably will devote months to wrestling over erasing the last remnants of a failed 2011 budget deal that would otherwise cut core Pentagon operations by $71 billion and domestic agencies and foreign aid by $55 billion. Top lawmakers are pushing for a reprise of three prior deals to use spending cuts or new revenues and prop up additional spending rather than defray deficits that are again approaching $1 trillion.

It’s put deficit hawks in a gloomy mood.

“The president doesn’t care. The leadership of the Democratic Party doesn’t care,” said former Sen. Judd Gregg, R-N.H. “And social media is in stampede mode.”

Trump’s budget arrives as the latest Treasury Department figures show a 77 percent spike in the deficit over the first four months of the budget year, driven by falling revenues and steady growth in spending.

Trump’s 2017 tax cut bears much of the blame, along with sharp increases in spending for both the Pentagon and domestic agencies and the growing federal retirement costs of the baby boom generation. Promises that the tax cut would stir so much economic growth that it would mostly pay for itself have been proved woefully wrong.

Trump’s upcoming budget, however, won’t address any of the main factors behind the growing, intractable deficits that have driven the U.S. debt above $22 trillion.

White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow said Sunday on Fox News that there’s “no reason to obsess” about the deficit as long as it’s smaller than 5% of the total economy.

The White House is proposing $2.7 trillion in spending cuts to domestic programs, according to new details released Sunday evening, CNN reports. Trump has requested a 5% cut across federal agencies, excluding defense spending.

Trump’s budget will also request $8.6 billion to pay for the wall he wants to build on the US-Mexico border.

A female staffer to Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand resigned in protest over the way Gillibrand’s office handled her complaint of sexual harassment by another staffer, Politico reports this morning.

Gillibrand, a New York Democrat who is running for president, has been a public champion of the #MeToo movement and efforts to combat sexual harassment in the military and the workplace.

But Politico reports that Gillibrand’s office kept staffer Abbas Malik on the job after a female colleague complained that he had harassed her, and told Gillibrand she was resigning because she was unhappy with how the complaint was handled. After Politico presented its own findings about allegations against Malik to Gillibrand’s office, he was fired.

The female staffer charged that Malik, who is married, made unwanted advances on her and often made crude, misogynistic remarks about his female colleagues.

Less than three weeks later, she quit her job, according to Politico. “I have offered my resignation because of how poorly the investigation and post-investigation was handled,” she wrote in an email to Gillibrand. “Your office chose to go against your public belief that women shouldn’t accept sexual harassment in any form and portrayed my experience as a misinterpretation instead of what it actually was: harassment and ultimately, intimidation.”

Gillibrand defended her handling of the case, saying her office did a full investigation and concluded the conduct described did not meet the standard of sexual harassment. She said the letter from the staffer contained inaccuracies.

“As I have long said, when allegations are made in the workplace, we must believe women so that serious investigations can actually take place, we can learn the facts, and there can be appropriate accountability,” she told Politico. “That’s exactly what happened at every step of this case last year.”

Fox News condemns Jeanine Pirro's remarks on Ilhan Omar's hijab

Fox News has condemned its host Jeanine Pirro for suggesting that Ilhan Omar’s wearing of a hijab places her in conflict with the US constitution.

“We strongly condemn Jeanine Pirro’s comments about Ilhan Omar,” Fox News said in a statement, according to CNN. “They do not reflect those of the network and we have addressed the matter with her directly.”

On her show Saturday night, Pirro went after Omar, the Minnesota Democrat who is Somali American and Muslim.

Pirro said: “Think about it. Omar wears a hijab, which, according to the Qur’an 33:59, tells women to cover so they won’t get molested. Is her adherence to this Islamic doctrine indicative of her adherence to sharia law, which in itself is antithetical to the United States constitution?”
