Massachusetts College of Art and Design is a public, independent institution that prepares artists, designers, and educators from diverse backgrounds to shape communities, economies, and cultures for the common good. In addition, artworks in all media are informally displayed throughout the campus, in hallways, stairwells, ramps, outdoor spaces, and classrooms. MassArt is headquartered at 621 Huntington Avenue in Boston, Massachusetts, and occupies a trapezoidal block of old and new buildings it has acquired over the last two decades. Most of its academic buildings were the former campus of Boston State College, acquired after BSC was merged with the University of Massachusetts-Boston.

Arts

The project called for transforming underutilized space within the Gym building into flexible and collaborative program spaces where a new interdisciplinary Design and Media curriculum can evolve.. Spotlight illuminates the dynamic visions of select graduating Film/Video BFA students, each presenting their unique exploration of contemporary storytelling through the lens of moving image and multimedia work. From compelling narratives to behind-the-scenes work, this exhibition celebrates the creative ingenuity of emerging talents at MassArt.

MassArt Virtual Information Session

Massachusetts College of Art and Design provides state-of-the art facilities and studios housed in nine buildings along Huntington Avenue in the Fenway neighborhood of Boston, close by the Museum of Fine Arts and the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. The college also offers certificate programs in Communication Design, Fashion Design, Furniture Design, and Industrial Design. The Fall 2019 undergraduate enrollment was 1780, graduate enrollment was 128 and continuing education enrollment was 187. MassArt is a Massachusetts state university and receives support from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Massachusetts College of Art and Design holds accreditation from the New England Association of Schools and Colleges and from the National Association of Schools of Art and Design. The college offers twenty-two areas of concentration in fine arts, design and art education, and awards one undergraduate degree, the Bachelor of Fine Arts, and graduate degrees including the Master of Fine Arts, the Master of Art in Teaching, Master of Design Innovation, and the Master of Architecture.

Welcome to MassArt’s Online Academic Catalog

It is a member of the Colleges of the Fenway (a resources- and facilities-sharing collegiate consortium located in the Longwood Medical and Academic Area of Boston), and the ProArts Consortium (an association of seven Boston-area colleges dedicated to the visual and performing arts). MassArt supports its longstanding mission through public programs and educational offerings for local schools to make art and design accessible for all. This effort focused upon translating the college's priorities into a building program that enhances the academic and collaborative environment of the Design and Media programs, while creating a sustainable new signature building on campus.

Massachusetts College of Art and Design - Center for Design+Media

The CD+M project reinforces campus-wide internal connections as well as external connections with outside professional collaborators, adjacent institutions such as the colleges of the Fenway, the Isabella Gardner Museum and the Museum of Fine Arts. To those of you who followed us on our digital journey—thank you for inviting us into your homes. Despite challenges and hardships we enjoyed live virtual drawing sessions with community members across the globe; seeing what your children created at your kitchen tables during our Saturday morning Art & Stories program; and bringing art to virtual classrooms when teachers and students needed inspiration the most. As we ease back into in-person gatherings, we will build on our recent experiences and apply lessons we’ve learned, keeping some of our online programs and refining new ones.MAAM is always evolving, always welcoming, always free. Massachusetts College of Art and Design, branded as MassArt, is a public college of visual and applied art in Boston, Massachusetts. Founded in 1873, it is one of the nation's oldest art schools, the only publicly funded independent art school in the United States, and was the first art college in the United States to grant an artistic degree.

Our academic and co-curricular programs prepare artists, designers, and educators from diverse backgrounds to shape communities, economies, and cultures for the common good. If you apply for Financial Aid, your cost of attendance will be determined for you and may vary based on your residency status and your living arrangements (on-campus, off-campus, or living at home/with relatives). Your cost of attendance is the maximum amount of financial aid you may receive for one academic year. Design is led by our team of product and interior designers, and done in collaboration with our network of artisans to prioritize local materials, showcase local craft techniques, and minimize the carbon footprint. This entrepreneurial model encourages and supports local artisans and material suppliers, contributes to the regional economy, and assists in the creation of new supply chains. We believe that every project has a mission and we collaborate with our partners throughout the design process — from early visioning through project completion — to develop and implement a shared vision to achieve that mission.

Programs

The college also offers certificate programs in Graphic Design, Fashion Design, Furniture Design, and Industrial Design. The Fall 2016 undergraduate enrollment was 1648, graduate enrollment was 132 and continuing education enrollment was 260. The MassArt Art Museum (MAAM) is Boston’s only free contemporary art museum, a space to experience works by visionary artists at the forefront of contemporary art.

We do this through architecture, landscape design, furniture design, engineering, planning, research, construction, film, and community engagement. The campus of Massachusetts College of Art and Design is located on the lands of indigenous tribes, such as the Wampanoag and Massachusett. We make this land acknowledgment to pay respect to these communities – past, present, and future – and recognize the painful history of erasure and ongoing violence toward indigenous people in North America and across the world. We acknowledge this part of our history to affirm our values to pursue a more just, compassionate, and equitable learning environment. We make groundbreaking contemporary art accessible to our community and the world—free of charge. We invite everyone to experience contemporary art, exchange ideas, and be part of the MAAM community.

As crafted by its two founders, English art educator Walter Smith and Boston Brahmin arts impresario Charles Callahan Perkins, the new institution would produce drawing teachers required in schools throughout the Commonwealth, while at the same time educating professional artists, designers, architects, and scientists. The goal would be to educate men and women in the creative process, not merely train them to draw. The Colleges of the Fenway consortium gives MassArt students additional shared access to facilities of five other nearby schools, including their library, athletics, and theatrical resources. MassArt students (with ID) also have free admission to the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum; Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston; and the Danforth Museum of Art; the ISGM is across the street, and the MFA is a short walking distance from campus.

Further along "The Avenue of the Arts" are Northeastern University, the Boston University Theatre, Boston Symphony Hall, Horticultural Hall, and the New England Conservatory of Music. During its first decade, the state rented space for the school in several locations including Boston's Pemberton Square, School Street, and the Deacon House mansion on Washington Street. In 1886, the state built the school's first building at the corner of Exeter and Newbury Streets, and then in 1929 moved the school to its second built campus at Longwood and Brookline Avenues. In 1983, MassArt was relocated to the former campus of Boston State College at the corner of Longwood and Huntington Avenues, after the latter school's merger with the University of Massachusetts Boston. Boston has designated Huntington Avenue as the "Avenue of the Arts", in recognition of the location of MassArt, the Museum of Fine Arts, School of the Museum of Fine Arts at Tufts, Boston Symphony Hall, and other educational and cultural institutions along this thoroughfare.

The new Design and Media Center building serves as the formal main portal into the academic campus, featuring a large, spacious entry lobby that can accommodate very large temporary art installations and exhibits. Contemporary media laboratories, classrooms, meeting spaces, project and installation spaces, and galleries are also located here. There is a permanent graphic timeline history of MassArt and its predecessor schools alongside a long ramp at the side of the entry lobby, highlighting and illustrating the accomplishments of faculty, staff, and students over the years. The graphic design faculty inspires and advocates that students not only value structure, surface, and form, but also engagements and interactions of design with clients, audiences, and the culture at large.

The Studio for Interrelated Media (SIM) undergraduate major is designed for student artists interested in a curriculum that supports idea-centered, interdisciplinary, and non-media specific artistic practice, alongside autonomous and collaborative working strategies and self-governance. In 2009, the Campus Center (located in the Kennedy building, at the corner of Huntington and Longwood avenues) was renovated, with additions of a new, two-story glass facade on Longwood Avenue, food services, and the college bookstore. The lower level includes ReStore, a student-run freecycling space to accept and redistribute surplus art supplies, materials, tools, equipment, and publications free of charge. MassArt is located on Huntington Avenue, which has been designated and signed as "The Avenue of the Arts" in Boston. The campus is also adjacent to the Longwood Medical Area, and its immediate neighbors on Longwood Avenue include Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences. Nearby neighbors along Huntington Avenue include the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum (ISGM), the Museum of Fine Arts, the School of the Museum of Fine Arts (SMFA), and the Wentworth Institute of Technology.

The essential operation of the Graphic Design Department is to provide students with an educational environment in which to explore theoretical, practical and technical applications relative to a variety of design problems. Through a sequenced combination of required courses in the major, studio electives, technical workshops and computer lab-based courses, students are exposed to intensive critique as well as discussions and lectures. They learn to speak intelligently about their own work and the work of their classmates, in preparation for the increasingly team-based professional environment in which they will find themselves upon graduation. As the teaching museum of MassArt, we help students, educators, and the community to experience the power of art.

As MassArt's teaching museum, we are committed to educating and empowering the next generation of artists—both on our campus and throughout the world. Massachusetts College of Art and Design is a public, independent college of art and design. The college’s professional baccalaureate and graduate programs prepare students to participate in the creative economy as fine artists, designers, and art educators, and to engage in the well being of their society. As a national leader in visual art and design education, the college influences contemporary culture through the accomplishments of its alumni and the creative activities of its faculty and staff.

MAAM builds meaningful relationships with individuals and institutions in order to spark positive change in our community. The renovation of and transformation to MAAM was the result of the largest private fundraising effort in the college’s history and we are grateful to the generous individuals and organizations who shared our belief that contemporary art should be experienced without boundaries or barriers. Our public grand opening on February 22, 2020 drew lines around the block, but thirteen days later, MAAM closed due to COVID-19.

As a kunsthalle, or non-collecting museum, MAAM’s exhibitions are current, resonant, and relevant. MAAM proudly serves as the teaching museum for MassArt and has a passionate mission to educate, inspire, and empower future generations of artists, designers, and educators—both on campus and beyond. For prospective first-year students.You will learn about MassArt’s undergraduate academic and co-curricular programs that prepare students from diverse backgrounds to participate in the creative economy as artists, designers, and educators. The informational session will cover topics such as MassArt's student experience and admissions requirements.

How to Read Your Human Design Chart: Cheat Sheet

Individual action is intended only to mutate the collective. And you can see it in the expression of the 12/22, because this is the channel of a social or an anti-social being. It is so easy for this to be turned off, because the whole point is mutation. And the whole point is to be able to mutate the other with this voice.

STRATEGY + AUTHORITY = YOUR SIGNATURE  (Peace, Satisfaction, Success, or Surprise)

However, it’s essential to remember that the Channel is just one part of the intricate Human Design puzzle. Each individual’s chart is a complex combination of multiple channels, centers, gates, and other factors. A comprehensive understanding of one’s Human Design can illuminate a unique roadmap to self-understanding, growth, and fulfillment.

Human Design 7-31 Channel of The ‘Alpha - A Design of Leadership for Good or Bad

But when you come to individuality it has one and only one social dimension. Individuals are deeply handicapped when it comes to establishing social bonds. Now of course, when we come to the nature of seeing the holistic BodyGraph we know very well that people have all kinds of mixes of aspects within their design. So, I’m speaking just theoretically here from an absolute point of view; in other words, looking at the pure individual.

Channel 28/38: Struggle (Channel of Meaning)

By the end of a project, however, I was interested in and pulled towards something new, so there was an attraction to move on, sometimes a bit before the project was totally finished. The channel of initiation, as a projected channel, means being invited by a topic or another person that gets us initiated into something new without necessarily having much detail. Sometimes that frequency is the new infusion of blood (gate 25) that becomes the ‘need’ that moves the team or project or idea forward.

Your talent is raw, but if you work hard and practice you can achieve mastery. This channel contains the intuition for knowing the correct timing or not. You’ve intuition and a natural instinct to know if the pattern is correct.

Centers, on the other hand, are the primary energy hubs within the Human Design BodyGraph. They represent different aspects of a person’s life, such as communication, emotions, and intuition. Centers can be defined, undefined, or open, with each state influencing how the energy flows through the channels.

Gate 27 – Caring / Nurture

An intrinsic understanding or knowing of when it’s time for a change, or even a revolution. Born with a natural curiosity which results in analysis of everything you touch on a deeper level. Challenged by always needing to explore things in great detail, and therefore feeling you never quite satisfy your own inquisitiveness. The energy of this gate is driven by a desire to realise creative dreams and fantasies. Thirst for adventure, and an impulse or pressure to try new ways of doing things, or a novel experience. The energy for adventure and sensing a need for change; intuitively understanding the correct path to take.

A Channel becomes active when the two Gates at its ends are active, and the Centres connected by this Channel become Defined. This means that energy begins to circulate between them, just like it happens in a closed electrical circuit. The combination of Channels and how they interlink Centers defines your Type in Human Design. They also influence your strengths, challenges, and life purpose. The lines connecting two Centers, highlighted in color, represent your Channels. The numbers at each end correspond to the Gates involved in forming the Channel.

So much energy in this channel is about selling good ideas. It is also the energy for truth and integrity, understanding the lessons from the past and transmitting these lessons. Many filmmakers, historians, and journalists carry this energy. The energy for big business dreams and ambitions is far away from the Throat Center, so this is an energy that has to wait for others to see and recognize it. If you have this energy in your chart, you have really big ideas, but you have to wait for those ideas to be seen and understood by others. The fulfilment of your dreams can and will happen if you let the Universe handle the details.

Gates are the specific points within a Center that connect to a corresponding Gate in another Center. Each Gate carries a specific energy and purpose, which is activated when connected to another Gate via a channel. This channel gives us the energy for listening and then guiding if asked. This is the energy of the witness and the direction-giver. It’s a nice energy to have if you are a coach or a therapist. Channel 13/33 is the true storyteller, the one who shares the tale of the journey and uses the lessons gained to give direction.

And there’s the 31-7 verbal gunslinger saying, “We’re going to go over to the swings now.” And everybody goes in another direction. In order for the individual to be truly creative, they have to empower the other. Their natural contribution is the empowerment of the other.

If the Center may be called an energy node, then the Gate will then be the “entry” point – a place through which the energy flowing through the Channels enters and leaves a particular Center. Each of the Gates has its own number and its own unique quality, depending on the Center in which they are located. The name of the Channel and what its nature will be expressed in depends on the Gate with which it is formed.

Through responding, people with this energy are able to behave with their power correctly or are behaving in a way that is powerfully correct. This is a deeply individual channel, and when you are in its presence, you will be drawn into behaving correctly as long as you are responding. Understanding the Channel requires considering the broader context of a person’s Human Design chart, including their Type. Each Type interacts with the energy of this channel in different ways. For example, a Manifestor with the Channel defined might express their feelings assertively and initiate actions based on their emotional processes. In contrast, a Projector might use their emotional wisdom to guide others, while a Generator could use their emotional energy to respond to life’s challenges and opportunities.

The format energies operate in pulses and adrenalize the energy of the Sacral. When these energies are pulsing on, they are powerful and vibrant, ready to get things done. When these energies are off, it’s hard to get things done, almost as if the adrenaline energy of the Root and the life force energy of the Sacral are unavailable. Unfortunately for people with this energy, they usually have to keep working, even when the energy is off.

While the original North was fairly roomy inside, its GPU support was limited to 14 inches and its CPU cooler height to 6.6 inches (without the side fan bracket). The North XL bumps this up to support for air coolers as large as 7.2 inches(185mm) and GPUs up to 16.2 inches (413mm). Another gripe I had with the original North was its lack of E-ATX support. Staying on the topic of fan support, the North XL can fit as many fans as expected from a chassis of this size. The front of the North can fit up to 3x 120 or 140mm fans and the corresponding radiator sizes.

Plenty of room for massive builds

If you don’t have the gargantuan Torrent fans as mentioned above, the top of the case can fit three 140mm fans. One of the few gripes I had with the original North was the thumb screws needed to remove the side panels, and that carries over to this larger model. I suppose it’s more secure than the pop-off pegs that have become increasingly common. But it’s also worth mentioning that the thumbscrews here are very stiff and require a screwdriver to remove. The wood front slats are a darker walnut on the black model than the oak used on the chalk white variant, and I think it looks great.

What is Fractal Art?

When I took the North XL out of the box, I was taken aback by the attention to detail in this chassis. Instead of boring black or silver accents, the charcoal black version features brass-colored IO ports and feet. I don’t think I have ever been impressed by the feet on a case before, but there’s a first time for everything, I suppose. Speaking of the IO, the top panel features separate audio in and out jacks, two USB 3.0 Type-A ports and one USB Type-C 3.1 Gen 2 port. An uncluttered, small form factor case designed to integrate seamlessly into your living space and daily rituals.

North

Inside, it includes a PCIe 4.0 riser cable and features a stepless slidable central wall for build flexibility, providing space for a powerful GPU up to 322 mm in length. The word "fractal" often has different connotations for the lay public as opposed to mathematicians, where the public is more likely to be familiar with fractal art than the mathematical concept. The mathematical concept is difficult to define formally, even for mathematicians, but key features can be understood with a little mathematical background.

But it takes what was great about the original and sizes it up for E-ATX motherboards and the longest, largest graphics cards, while keeping the price resonable. /r/buildapc is a community-driven subreddit dedicated to custom PC assembly. Anyone is welcome to seek the input of our helpful community as they piece together their desktop. If you have trouble choosing your components, please check with forums or friends with computer interest (or skills). Our testing hardware uses Intel’s 12 Gen “Alder Lake” platform, specifically a Core i KF, cooled by a Noctua U12s air cooler. For storage beyond M.2, there are a pair of 2.5-inch brackets behind the motherboard plate.

Thermal Results for the Fractal Design North

The outputs of the modelling process may be highly artistic renderings, outputs for investigation, or benchmarks for fractal analysis. Some specific applications of fractals to technology are listed elsewhere. Also, these may include calculation or display artifacts which are not characteristics of true fractals. In practice, experimenters typically rely on statistical reference books to supply the "standard" fractional factorial designs, consisting of the principal fraction.

These conclusions are consistent with the results of the full-factorial 16-run experiment. We have asked our support agents not to recommend any specific PC component brand or brands. Most brands will fit in our cases, and most builders have their own personal favorites among brands. We will however gladly do our best to try to let you know whether a component will fit or not, although this may be difficult at times. Currently, the PC case market is saturated with chassis constructed of more glass than mesh, so anything else is a breath of fresh air. While the wood front panel is gorgeous and hasn’t shown signs of decay over the last year, I would like to see Fractal Design release additional front panels.

Specifications of the Fractal Design North XL

Art elements rooted in math and algorithms might seem like a futuristic idea, but it’s a growing and popular concept.

Overall, the North XL looks just as stunning as the original, but I would still personally still opt for the mesh side panel, as I feel like it fits the case’s aesthetic better than the tempered glass does. But if you do want to show off your internals, the vertical GPU kit certainly makes more sense with the glass panel. The Node Series stylishly integrates the full-featured PC into the modern home. With the flexibility to serve as media hubs, gaming stations, or file servers, the Node brings the full PC experience into the common space with style. Decalcomania, a technique used by artists such as Max Ernst, can produce fractal-like patterns.[79] It involves pressing paint between two surfaces and pulling them apart.

A complaint we had about the original Fractal Design North when we tested it was its high noise levels. We hypothesized that the tempered glass side panel would likely be quieter than the mesh variant. Fast-forward to today, the tempered glass variant of the XL model is, in-fact, quieter. No, but if fan noise particularly bothers you, you may want to consider the glass panel even if you don’t care much about looking at the internals of your case. And since we're very particular about our cases, it should come as no surprise that we are equally particular when it comes to fans. More often than not, we create and customize our own designs to meet high expectations for quality and cooling performance.

An evolution of the slimline format, Ridge was developed in collaboration with gaming and entertainment enthusiasts to subtly improve their homes and enhance the small form factor PC experience. This can be a fun design element to think about and incorporate into projects. Fractal art has been around since the 1980s but it seems to be having a moment with more designers looking to this style for backgrounds and main art elements.

Meshify strikes an aggressive pose in the Fractal Design lineup with unparalleled cooling performance and a defiant look. Like black diamond facets, the angular asymmetry of the Meshify C carves a space uniquely its own in high-airflow design. Because of the butterfly effect, a small change in a single variable can have an unpredictable outcome. Because of the increase in volume, the top fan mounts can house a pair of large 180mm Fractal Torrent fans, although you won’t find these in the box.

Like its smaller, older Fractal North brother, the North XL is available in charcoal black and chalk white, with a choice of a mesh or tempered glass side panel. Because we reviewed the white mesh version the first time, it only made sense to check out the tempered glass black variant this time around. The analysis of variance estimates of the effects are shown in the table below. From inspection of the table, there appear to be large effects due to A, C, and D. Unless the AB and CD interactions have approximately equal but opposite effects, these two interactions appear to be negligible. If A, C, and D have large effects, but B has little effect, then the AC and AD interactions are most likely significant.

Ohio House votes to override HB 68 veto

• Ohio House Bill 6 (Prior Session Legislation)
• Ohio House votes in favor of overriding DeWine's veto of gender-affirming care ban

He took a moment to speak directly to transgender people during the Senate session. Gender-affirming surgery for minors is not common, with less than 3,700 performed in the United States on patients ages 12 to 18 from 2016 through 2019, according to a study published in August in JAMA Network Open. It’s unclear how many of those patients were 18 when they underwent those surgeries.

Current Version

“The sad truth is that the plaintiffs will also suffer immediate, very palpable harms,” she said in court Friday. “Sadly, HB 68 and other bills targeting trans and non-conforming youth take this peace, comfort and joy up the chimney like the Grinch stealing the Christmas tree,” Bates said. Evangelical Lutheran deacon Nick Bates and father of a 13-year-old nonbinary child said bills like HB 68 force trans children and adults back into hiding.

WBNS would like to send you push notifications about the latest news and weather.

Additionally, the departments must also collect data submitted by providers on gender dysphoria and subsequent treatment, and his plan calls for the agencies to inform lawmakers, policy makers and the public. The proposal would mandate a team for transgender individuals seeking gender-affirming care that would consist of, at a minimum, an endocrinologist, a bioethicist and a psychiatrist. "The decisions that parents are making are not easy decisions," DeWine said in the Dec. 29 press conference. One of the biggest provisions requires voters to present a photo ID when they cast ballots in-person. That could be an Ohio driver's license, state ID, U.S. passport, passport card, military ID or interim identification issued by the Bureau of Motor Vehicles. We will fight vigorously to defend this properly enacted statute, which protects our children from irrevocable adult decisions,” he wrote.

Ohio House Bill 6 (Prior Session Legislation)

Boards of elections have until eight days after the election to determine what provisional ballots can be counted. Right now, voters can use alternative forms of identification at the polls, such as utility bills or bank statements. “One judge from one county does not have more power than the governor’s veto pen,” Yost said in a statement. DeWine also proposed reporting and data collection on those who receive care to better monitor quality of care, as well as implementing restrictions on "pop-up clinics" that serve the transgender community. "None of [the families] that I talked to talked about surgery," said DeWine in a Dec. 29 statement. "That's not where they were going in the discussion. And I think that's, frankly, a fallacy that's out there that, you know, this goes right to surgery. It just doesn't. All the children's hospitals say that we don't do surgeries."

If a trans girl wants to play on a team with cisgender girls in Ohio, she must go through hormone treatments for at least one year or show no physical or  physiological advantages, according to the Ohio High School Athletic Association. There were only six transgender high school female student athletes in Ohio, the Capital Journal previously reported in the spring. The Ohio Senate passed House Bill 68 in a 24-8 vote Wednesday afternoon and the Ohio House concurred with the Senate amendments in a vote Wednesday night. DeWine said previously that even if the Legislature would choose to override the veto, his administration will continue to pursue the rules and that he is working with his legal team to ensure that his administration can implement them. When asked if he had thoughts on the sports restrictions in the bill, DeWine said he "focused on the part of the bill that I thought affected the most people and the most children by far," referring to the gender-affirming care portion of the bill.

Judge puts short-term pause on HB 68 in Ohio prior to effective date

She knows many transgender kids who are happier when they receive gender affirmation or care. “HB 68 will cause people to leave Ohio and no one should be forced from their home for any reason, but especially not because of extreme laws undermining their freedom and safety,” Adkison said. LGBTQ+ advocates who oppose HB 68 had a press conference Wednesday morning to speak out against HB 68 — arguing families shouldn’t have to decide whether it’s safe to stay in Ohio.

For a transgender male to participate in sports, he currently must demonstrate that his muscle mass developed as a result of testosterone treatment and does not exceed muscle mass typical of adolescent genetic males. House Bill 6 — which prevents trans athletes from participating in Ohio women’s sports — was rolled into HB 68 back in June. The would prevent men and boys from playing on women’s sports teams, but everyone would still be able to play on co-ed teams.

Voting Records

“The important part is protecting children and making sure parents know what’s going on,” he said. Gender-affirming care is supported by every major medical organization in the United States. Children’s hospitals across Ohio, the Ohio Children’s Hospital Association and the Ohio Academy of Family Physicians all oppose HB 68. “We await a final bill to review before offering formal comment,” DeWine’s press secretary Dan Tierney said in an email Wednesday afternoon. Transgender youth are more likely to experience anxiety, depressed mood and suicidal ideation and suicide attempts due to discrimination and gender dysphoria, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Result: Passed

In those cases, voters could cast ballots in their car or at the door of their polling location. The bill, first unveiled by Senate Republicans last week, cleared the House and Senate amid the Legislature's busy lame-duck session. Proponents say the bill would restore trust in elections, but critics contend it's a solution in search of a problem that would ultimately disenfranchise voters. Yost argues in his 36-page motion that Holbrook’s injunction is illegal since it applies to the whole state, not just the two plaintiffs. But Clark argued the bill, in its entirety, addresses trans youth issues. Clark said the court proceedings should play out normally so the state can make its full case for why the new law is necessary.

At least 21 states have implemented restrictions on access to gender-affirming care, many of which have faced legal challenges. A law banning gender-affirming care for minors in Arkansas was ruled unconstitutional by a federal judge and similar laws have been blocked in Georgia, Indiana, Idaho, Texas and Montana while the cases are tried. A judge in Franklin County put a short-term pause Tuesday on House Bill 68, a statewide ban on gender-affirming care for trans minors that would have taken effect in less than two weeks, according to court documents. The bill also would ban transgender girls from participating in sports. Research shows hormone therapy can improve the mental health of transgender adolescents and teenagers, a recent study in the New England Journal of Medicine found. DeWine vetoed the bill in December 2023, saying he believed the bill as written would harm transgender youth and impede on families' ability to make decisions after speaking with those who would be impacted by the legislation.

Ohio lawmakers rushed a major overhaul of state voting laws through the waning days of their legislative session that would change how voters navigate elections. The lawsuit was filed on behalf of two families whose 12-year-old transgender daughters would lose access to gender-affirming health care. Filed by the ACLU in March, the original lawsuit seeks to block HB 68 from going into effect on schedule and at all. It is on behalf of two 12-year-old transgender Ohio girls and their families, one from Hamilton County and one from Franklin County, and argues they would lose “critical, medically necessary health care” under HB 68. “This bill strips rights away from parents and bans children’s access to evidence-based healthcare,” Antonio said in a statement after the bill passed the Senate. “Physicians need to be able to have comprehensive care discussions with patients and their families, but this bill puts them in an impossible position.

The changes would give those voters four days after the election to provide that information to election officials, instead of seven days. A law banning gender-affirming care for minors in Arkansas was ruled unconstitutional by a federal judge and similar laws have been blocked in Georgia, Indiana, Idaho, Texas and Montana while lawsuits are considered. A grandfather clause allows transgender people already receiving care to continue doing so.

Acquaintance is a weaker relationship than aggregation and suggests much looser coupling between objects, which can often be desirable for maximum maintainability in designs. They warn that the implementation of a subclass can become so bound up with the implementation of its parent class that any change in the parent's implementation will force the subclass to change. Furthermore, they claim that a way to avoid this is to inherit only from abstract classes—but then, they point out that there is minimal code reuse. Leaks and stains can happen on grocery runs, so you may want to check the cleaning instructions before buying a reusable bag. Most materials are machine-washable, sometimes in cold water only. If you anticipate lugging a heavy bag around a lot, you want comfortable handles that can withstand the weight.

“Plus, they are more durable and less likely to break when carrying groceries.” When choosing a bag, small details greatly affect the ease of running errands. More pockets help you stay organized, and zippers keep contents secure. Your choice of material—whether it’s nylon, polyester or canvas like the Steele Canvas Utility Tote—determines a bag’s longevity. Many brands also have bright colors and fun patterns to choose from. Below, we’ve rounded up the best options to handle every grocery store run, daily commute and more.

Best Mesh Reusable Grocery Bag

The bridge pattern is a design pattern that separates the abstract elements of a class from its technical implementation. This provides a cleaner implementation of real-world objects and allows the implementation details to be changed easily. An abstract factory offers the interface for creating a set of related or dependant objects without explicitly specifying their classes. Some people do better with a heavy-duty insulated bag; others prefer a lightweight bag that can scrunch up or fold. We think the Steele Canvas Utility Tote is a good option for most people because it’s durable, versatile and has plenty of pockets to organize groceries and other essentials. Mesh totes offer the space-saving convenience of nylon bags but with an airier, more timeless look.

Design Languages Are Holistic

Another standout detail is that it has nine pockets to maximize bag space, protect contents and help shoppers stay organized. Available in one size, Steele offers the Utility Tote in five rustic colors. If they haven’t already, designers from numerous industries will soon incorporate a design language and templates into their workflow. For digital product designers, this topic is evolving, and many are learning to design from pattern libraries within complex systems for the first time (or even help define them). Design Patterns was the first book that gathered together and defined solutions in the form of patterns to most common problems in technical design of software.

The product manager or product owner working with a designer will provide requirements for new features which align with business goals. When deciding to break or create a new design pattern, remember the theory of complex systems, and ensure the solution is a shared decision. They use inheritance to compose interfaces and define ways to compose objects to obtain new functionality. Delegation is a way of making composition as powerful for reuse as inheritance. Delegation is analogous to subclasses deferring requests to parent classes.

The facade pattern is used to define a simplified interface to a more complex subsystem. A decorator allows to add behavior to an individual object, either statically or dynamically, without affecting the behavior of other objects from the same class. The Interpreter Pattern represents a grammar as a class hierarchy and implements an interpreter as an operation on instances of classes.

Analysis Patterns: Reusable Object Models

Kellogg cites a study by the Environment Agency that says a cotton bag must be used 131 times to have less of a global impact than a single-use plastic bag. The tote’s design is straightforward—one large pocket with two long handles—but you can take it anywhere, even in inclement weather, and it lasts for years. The Nook Theory Better Days bag is insulated with thermal foam to keep food and beverages cool.

A Structured Canvas Pick That's Comfortable To Carry

The proxy pattern is used to provide a surrogate or placeholder object, which references an underlying object. The adapter pattern is a design pattern that is used to allow two incompatible types to communicate. Where one class relies upon a specific interface that is not implemented by another class, the adapter acts as a translator between the two types. Sometimes acquaintance is called 'association' or the 'using' relationship. Acquaintance objects may request operations of each other, but they are not responsible for each other.

Design Patterns for Object-Oriented Software

If you’re ready to say goodbye to single-use plastic, the best reusable grocery bags are sturdy, lightweight and can handle large hauls to and from the farmers’ market. For its heavy-duty construction and handy pockets, the Steele Canvas Utility Tote—which is impressively roomy—is our top pick for most people. When designing within a system, it’s crucial that product designers adopt the big-picture mindset that is required for decision making. The principles of a complex system and systems thinking will help designers as they grow in their careers. The same is true for the process of building from a pattern library.

When looking at competitor magazines, it is easy to see how the design language of one compares to the other. Darcie is a design leader with a passion for user-centered methods, business strategy, and intuitive user experiences. The prototype pattern is used to instantiate a new object by copying all of the properties of an existing object, creating an independent clone. This practise is particularly useful when the construction of a new object is inefficient. The memento pattern is used to capture the current state of an object and store it in such a manner that it can be restored at a later time without breaking the rules of encapsulation. The flyweight pattern is used to reduce the memory and resource usage for complex models containing many hundreds, thousands or hundreds of thousands of similar objects.

Sure, there will be some new tools for connecting and managing complexities, but ultimately, it is a shift to a holistic mindset that will truly help improve workflows. The idea of a pattern language originated from architecture and urban design over 40 years ago and can be applied to just about any design discipline. The interpreter pattern is used to define the grammar for instructions that form part of a language or notation, whilst allowing the grammar to be easily extended.

The authors also discuss so-called parameterized types, which are also known as generics (Ada, Eiffel, Java, C#, VB.NET, and Delphi) or templates (C++). These allow any type to be defined without specifying all the other types it uses—the unspecified types are supplied as 'parameters' at the point of use. The book started at a birds-of-a-feather session at the 1990 OOPSLA meeting, "Towards an Architecture Handbook", where Erich Gamma and Richard Helm met and discovered their common interest. They were later joined by Ralph Johnson and John Vlissides.[6] The book was originally published on 21 October 1994, with a 1995 copyright, and was made available to the public at the 1994 OOPSLA meeting.

Creational patterns are ones that create objects, rather than having to instantiate objects directly. This gives the program more flexibility in deciding which objects need to be created for a given case. The Flyweight Pattern defines a structure for sharing objects. However, applications that use lots of objects must pay careful attention to the cost of each object. Overall, the Flyweight pattern’s effectiveness depends heavily on how and where it’s used. If the color is preset to be #1f9efc and a designer makes it #1b3e9b without first consulting other designers using the same pattern library, this could cause a system error.

Physicians have told ABC News that doctors, families and patients often have many long conversations together to consider age-appropriate individualized approaches to care. DeWine vetoed the bill, saying that he agreed with several concerns highlighted by the legislature. However, he said he believed the bill as written would harm transgender youth and impede on families' ability to make decisions after speaking with those who would be impacted by the legislation.

OH HB6 2021-2022 134th General Assembly

DeWine also proposed reporting and data collection on those who receive care, as well as restrictions on "pop-up clinics" that serve the transgender community. "None of [the families] that I talked to talked about surgery," said DeWine on Friday. Legislators need 60% of the vote in both houses to override the governor’s veto. At least 21 states have implemented restrictions on trans medical care. Curbside voting is prohibited, unless someone has a disability and is unable to enter their polling place.

OH Legislation 2021-2022 134th General Assembly

The bill also mandates that K-12 and collegiate teams in Ohio be “single-sex” and enables athletes to bring forth civil lawsuits against any institution that violates that mandate. The bill restricts the use of puberty blockers, hormone therapy or surgeries for transgender youth. The bill does not restrict the use of this care on non-transgender youth, and specifically includes an exception for intersex youth with ambiguous or abnormal sex characteristics. HB 68, introduced by Republican Rep. Gary Click would block doctors from providing gender-affirming care to trans youth, including puberty blockers and hormone therapy. Gender-affirming care has been called safe and effective by more than 20 major national medical associations, including the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Medical Association. The AMA has said this care can be medically necessary to improve the physical and mental health of transgender people.

Ohio’s HB 68 is a tale of political maneuvering, veto battles, and transgender rights: Leslie Kouba

The Ohio Senate has voted to override Gov. Mike DeWine’s veto against Ohio House Bill 68 in a 23-9 vote. This bill would ban transgender minors from receiving gender-affirming medical care and prevent transgender girls from taking part in girls' and women's sports. The Ohio House has voted to override Gov. Mike DeWine’s veto against Ohio House Bill 68 in a vote. The legislation in question blocks trans minors from access to gender-affirming care and from participating in girls’ athletics. HB 68 also bars physicians from prescribing hormones and puberty blockers to minors and creates penalties for those who do.

Votes: OH HB68 2023-2024 135th General Assembly

Twenty-two other states have passed a law that blocks gender-affirming care, according to the Human Rights Campaign. Following his veto of House Bill 68, DeWine directed several agencies to develop administrative rules. He said some of the rules and protections he is putting in place go well beyond what is in HB 68. "I truly believe that we can address a number of goals in House Bill 68 by administrative rules that will have likely a better chance of surviving judicial review and being adopted," DeWine said.

What's the deal with mail-in voting?

The drop box would be available at all hours from the first day of absentee voting to the close of polls on Election Day. These rules, unlike the executive order, are not in effect immediately. However, both the proposed rules and executive order are subject to change even though the executive order is effective — due to an emergency order.

But ACLU of Ohio Legal Director Freda Levenson argued Friday that without immediate enjoinment of the soon-to-be law, transition treatments will pause statewide—including for the two girls in the suit, whose identities have been concealed.

DeWine did not signal Thursday whether he plans to sign the bill, but said the final product improved some "substantive problems" in previous versions. The post Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost files emergency motion with Ohio Supreme Court on House Bill 68 appeared first on Ohio Capital Journal. Gender-affirming care is supported by every major medical organization in the United States.

Roll Call: OH HB68 2023-2024 135th General Assembly

“In one medical situation, maybe you'll get steroids, in a different situation it may not be okay. More broadly, the ACLU of Ohio is arguing that HB 68 goes against the Ohio Constitution by breaking a single-subject rule for legislation and discriminating against trans minors, among other claims. Last June, two individual proposals become one when the Ohio House folded House Bill 6, the single-sex athletics requirement, into HB 68.

Gov. Mike DeWine vetoed HB 68, but lawmakers voted to override his veto. HB 68 prevents transgender youth from starting hormone therapy and puberty blockers. The bill has a grandfather clause that allows doctors to continue treatment on patients that have already started. The bill passed by both chambers along party lines last year bans gender-affirming surgeries, as well as hormone therapies, and restricted mental health care for transgender individuals under 18. It also blocks transgender student athletes from playing girls' and women's sports.

The departments filed proposed administrative rules Friday that would ensure both transgender children and adults are not receiving treatment from what he called “fly-by-night” clinics or providers outside of proper healthcare systems. Physicians who provide this gender-affirming care for trans youth would be "subject to discipline by the applicable professional licensing board" under this legislation. The bill includes exceptions for this kind of care for non-transgender youth. Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost filed an emergency motion with the Ohio Supreme Court Monday in an attempt to stop a temporary restraining order against Ohio’s gender-affirming care ban for trans youth. One to ban gender-affirming healthcare for minors and another one to ban transgender women from playing on women’s sport teams. As part of their care plan, transgender individuals also must provide “sufficient informed consent” for gender-affirming care after comprehensive and lengthy mental health counseling, under the rules.

What room colors go with white?

Accent your white living room with bold colors and patterns to keep it totally modern. The bright, abstract art print adds brilliant color to the space, while the black-and-white diamond area rug adds contrast and visual interest. It can be tricky to make all white living rooms feel cozy, but rugs instantly add warmth and make a space feel softer. Layering rugs is the only way we are doing rugs right now and we love the effect you get when you mix different materials, patterns and colors.

This living room features white classy couches and a nice center table. It has a ceiling with a skylight, along with a fireplace with a TV on top of it. "Yellow undertones give white paint a warmer and creamier appearance, while blue undertones give a crisper look." Taylor says. Keren’s rule of thumb for designing with remnants is allocating them to slivers of countertop or small pieces of furniture. Here are a few examples of where White Arrow has used scraps on past projects. The cost of scrap stone varies depending on how desirable the material is, the size of the remnant, and where in the country it’s located.

On a Custom Piece of Furniture

If you just can't resist throwing a splash of color in there, then go for it. Playing with all white in a room can be tricky to get the balance right, so don't be afraid to experiment with other tones. "Personally, I'm not drawn to color, and maybe that’s a phase (though it’s been a while), but I wear black and white, cream, and naturals in my everyday wardrobe, and I decorate in the same color story," Ford said. If you want your white space to veer into comfort, not cold territory, then Ford recommends introducing natural décor items and furniture to welcome in the warmth. "Anything natural and from the earth—wood, stones, marble, plants—will bring warmth into any space, no matter what color it is," she said. "I use them throughout all of my projects. It’s the camp counselor in me. No matter how glam the space, you will always find an element of the outside that I've brought in."

Create a warm focal point with a stove

Update a fireplace to give it a more modern look by surrounding it with a simple white frame. This relatively easy white living room idea helps the fireplace match the surrounding shelves and light colors throughout the room without significant renovations. This white living room's rich emerald green sofa instantly elevates the space and adds effortless elegance. Other luxurious details, like vintage armchairs and a plush white area rug, complete the sophisticated design.

Not only does white create contrasts that showcases dark hues well, but white helps open up the remainder of the space. When decorating with white, consider using it as a backdrop—especially in rooms where you have a lot going on. White will work well with any theme or color, so using it only on the walls or floor can help create a backdrop that will allow any color or statement pieces to shine. Plus, it makes it easier to change things up once in a while if you want to try a new dećor theme. Your goal is to have the feeling of an open, relaxed atmosphere, and white is the perfect color to do just that. One of the keys to making white dećor work for you is by experimenting with different textures.

White Living Room Ceiling

Beautiful craftsmanship and simple lines are the hallmarks of a traditional white kitchen. It makes cabinetry look very crisp and sophisticated and the space feels instantly brighter yet also very calming,’ says Stephanie Dedes, design and marketing manager at Charles Yorke’s Pirbright showroom. This versatile neutral is one of the most popular paint ideas for interiors, and it is easy to see why. One way to keep your white living room idea from being too sterile is to fill it with statement pieces, like a large leather sofa and wooden shelves. This allows you to bring more color into the room with decorative items like vases, throw pillows, blankets, and large plants.

After all, so many more products are available in white than your favorite hue. Besides, extremes have always been interesting – it’s why black and white interior design ideas are always in demand. There’s a reason it’s called “gallery white”—stark white walls are naturally suited to showing off an art collection. We love the way Mary Douglas Drysdale used bright, modern art along with an assortment of antique furniture. The exterior of House 23 in New York is clad in blackened wood, in sharp contrast to its white interior. In the sitting room, a pale-pink daybed stands out against the white walls, and a Kalon Stump Wood stool matches the wooden floor.

'I love pairing something more refined, such as marble or other natural, organic stone, alongside handcrafted tiles from artisans like Zellige, Clé, or Fireclay. The result is a blend of old-world and new that strikes a beautiful balance in my designs,' says interior designer Becky Shea. Matthew Carter's Bahamian cottage is full of vibrant, whimsical details, while white walls keep this living room grounded. A neutral, classic George Smith sofa is paired with a 1970s coconut shell coffee table. The adjacent armchairs are upholstered in Alan Campbell fabric with fringe by Samuel & Sons. Colette van den Thillart designed this immaculate outdoor dining space for the Kips Bay Decorator Show House in Palm Beach.

She has worked in digital media for over five years and is an expert on a range of topics, including tattoos, piercings, and culture.

They always have been, and always will be a great choice. Skulls are seen as macabre and deathly, but you can also make a statement that’s humorous with a skull. This can be done in the form of a laughing skull, for example, as a way of mocking death, or you could think of a humorous slogan that adorns the skull. It could even be in an unusual or strange shape that makes people want to look again. Skull tattoos have been popular among both men and women for ages.

It gets the image across without overwhelming with additional design elements, but still pops with its shading and negative space. To play on the creepy aspect of skull tattoos, try stacking a bunch together in your design. This gives a catacomb-esque feeling and puts the focus on the overall piece rather than the skulls themselves. If you want to opt for a skull tattoo that’s a bit simpler, choose your details wisely to avoid it looking like a cartoon. Here, the design uses blackwork and a medium outline paired with text to add just enough whimsy.

Russian efforts to create anti-satellite weapons are cause for US concern

“We need to look at this issue from all angles — inclusive of the role the president played as well as the security of the Capitol on that day,” Murphy told the Washington Post. A steadily conservative vote in Congress, and someone who backed most of Trump’s positions until the Jan. 6 attack, Cheney has reportedly pushed her colleagues on the committee not to let Trump or his allies off the hook. He worked for months with Rep. John Katko (R-N.Y.) on legislation to create an independent, bipartisan commission to investigate what led to the Jan. 6 attack, but that legislation received little Republican support in the House and died in the Senate with no support from Republicans. Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines, CIA Director Bill Burns, and FBI Director Christopher Wray join other leaders from the intelligence community to testify on worldwide threats, before the House Select Intelligence Committee. Several key lawmakers, including Johnson, said Wednesday that there was no reason to be alarmed by Turner's statement. Biden and the Senate are urging the Republican-controlled House to pass aid for Ukraine in its war against the country, as well as aid for Israel and Taiwan.

He was also a member of President Donald Trump's transition team.[2] Nunes's former district, numbered as the 21st from 2003 to 2013 and as the 22nd after redistricting, was in the San Joaquin Valley and included most of western Tulare County and much of eastern Fresno County. A congressional aide said he understood that the threat relates to a space-deployed Russian anti-satellite weapon. Such a weapon could pose a major danger to U.S. satellites that transmit billions of bytes of data each hour. During his tenure, he was a strong proponent of neighborhood revitalization, crime reduction, increased funding for safety forces, economic development and job creation. He created Rehabarama, a private-public partnership to rehabilitate neglected housing in Dayton’s historic neighborhoods, which had significant economic impact on the region and received national awards.

It is highly unusual, in fact, for the national security adviser to do that," Sullivan said. He said he had reached out earlier this week. WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. has gathered highly sensitive intelligence about Russian anti-satellite weapons that has been shared in recent weeks with the upper echelons of government, according to four people who have been briefed on the intelligence.

A member of the Republican Party, Nunes was the chair of the House Intelligence Committee from 2015 to 2019.

He also successfully reduced police response time by 40%, added 54 police officers to the force, and established a development fund that awarded over $19 million in grants for housing and job producing projects. McCarthy has also promised to keep Omar off of that committee, due to some of the controversial statements she has made, which could set up a House vote this week to remove her assignment. "It is my understanding that you intend to break with the longstanding House tradition of deference to the minority party Intelligence Committee recommendations and deny seats to Ranking Member Schiff and Representative Swalwell," Jeffries wrote to the speaker then. The committee has special rules that allow the speaker to assign its members in consultation with the minority leader. Deeply reported insights into legislation, politics and policy from Sacramento, Washington and beyond. At one of the committee’s few public meetings, Luria alleged that the Justice Department slow-walked charges against former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows for being held in contempt of Congress after disobeying a committee subpoena.

These are the names you need to know when watching the congressional Jan. 6 hearings, which begin June 9. Thompson has focused on domestic terrorism and cybersecurity — particularly election security — in his 17 years as the highest-ranking Democrat on the Homeland Security Committee. In May, Thompson said that it was unclear whether the former president would provide any new insight on the evidence already collected. Each member is expected to lead a portion of a hearing, some of which will be held in prime time. The House committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the nation’s Capitol will begin a series of six televised hearings on Thursday. And while the House made the intelligence available to all of its members late Tuesday night, the Senate didn’t do the same for all senators until Wednesday afternoon.

First elected to Congress in 1994, Lofgren is a stalwart liberal vote in Congress and is both an ally of Pelosi and well respected among rank-and-file Democrats. She was one of seven House managers in Trump’s first impeachment trial, and is the only House Democrat who was present for the impeachment hearings of former Presidents Bill Clinton and Richard M. Nixon. Cheney told “CBS Sunday Morning” that she’s concerned about how multipronged the effort to keep Trump in office was.

In the coming weeks, the House intelligence panel will submit a report to the Judiciary panel, and then Democrats will consider drafting articles of impeachment on President Donald Trump’s dealings with Ukraine and the administration’s attempts to block the investigation. The articles could cover matters beyond Trump’s efforts to push Ukraine to investigate Democrats, including special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation. "What I am doing with the Intel Committee [is] bringing it back to the jurisdiction it's supposed to do. Forward-looking to keep this country safe, keep the politics out of it," McCarthy told reporters at a press conference earlier this month. She is chairwoman of the House Administration Committee, which oversees the Capitol Police. That committee has held several hearings on how department leaders handled the riot and the security failures that allowed more than 1,000 people to storm the building without going through normal security procedures. Thompson, the chairman of the committee, is known on Capitol Hill for his bipartisan relationships and patient but dogged demeanor.

While the minority party's recommendations have typically been seated, McCarthy has the power to decline to seat members without relying on a full floor vote of the chamber. Murphy was a Defense Department analyst in the administration of former President George W. Bush before serving in Congress. Though she is seen as a rising star in the Democratic Party, and a potential challenger to Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), Murphy will not run for reelection in 2022. Murphy, a leader of the centrist Blue Dog Coalition, has urged her colleagues on the committee to look deeper into the events on Jan. 6 — beyond the role Trump played in contesting the election results. A series of congressional hearings about the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Kinzinger and Cheney were both censured by the Republican National Committee for participating in the committee.

Patterson and Briggs split the vote in Fresno County, allowing Nunes to win by a four-point margin over Patterson, his nearest competitor. Nunes won 46.5% of the vote in Tulare County and 28.1% of the vote in Fresno County. Nunes was also helped by a strong showing in the rural part of the district.[17] He was endorsed by the California Farm Bureau and The Fresno Bee.[16] The district was solidly Republican, and Nunes coasted to victory in November 2002. In its 2020 Defense Space Strategy, the Pentagon said China and Russia presented the greatest strategic threat in space due to their aggressive development of counterspace abilities, and their military doctrine calling for extending conflict to space. The threat Turner raised concerns about is not an active capability, according to U.S. officials familiar with the intelligence. One added that intelligence officials consider the threat to be significant, but it should not cause panic.

"But despite these efforts, McCarthy won't be successful. We will continue to speak out against extremism and doggedly defend our democracy." Schiff, Swalwell and Omar released a statement Tuesday evening that said McCarthy's decision was "disappointing" but not "surprising." Republican leaders have pointed to how the House's Democratic majority in the last Congress removed Greene and Rep. Paul Gosar, R-Ariz., from their committees over their past incendiary behavior, including Greene spreading conspiracies.

He encouraged them to come to a SCIF, a secure area, to review the intelligence. "I believe there's 200 other Democrats that can serve on that committee," McCarthy told reporters on Tuesday. "I cannot put partisan loyalty ahead of national security, and I cannot simply recognize years of service as the sole criteria for membership on this essential committee. Integrity matters more," McCarthy wrote.

The former naval commander spent the majority of her two decades in service as a surface warfare officer and nuclear engineer. “The committee has found evidence of concerted planning and premeditated activity. The idea that all of this was just a rowdy demonstration that spontaneously got a little bit out of control is absurd. You don’t almost knock over the U.S. government by accident,” Raskin told the Washington Post on Monday.

Senate leaders aren’t expected to attend the briefing Thursday because the Senate is on a two-week recess. "If they're not going to pay, we're not going to protect, OK? ... One of the heads of the countries stood up and said, 'Does that mean that if we don't pay the bills that you're not going to protect us?' I said, 'That's exactly what it means, exactly. I'm not going to protect you,'" Trump told the crowd. The final report of the Pike Committee was never officially published due to Congressional opposition. However, unauthorized versions of the draft final report were leaked to the press. CBS News reporter Daniel Schorr was called to testify before Congress, but refused to divulge his source.[2] Major portions of the report were published by The Village Voice, and a full copy of the draft was published in England.

Aguilar, the vice chairman of the House Democratic Caucus, is known on Capitol Hill for keeping a relatively low profile for a member of leadership. Still, as the only committee member with a scheduled weekly news conference — held Tuesday mornings after the Democratic Caucus meets — he’s found himself giving periodic updates of the committee’s work. Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Mark Warner, D-Va., and the committee’s ranking member, Marco Rubio, R-Fla., were briefed weeks ago about the national security threat identified by Turner, said two sources with direct knowledge of the matter. The intelligence has been made available to all members of the Senate Intelligence Committee. Turner said his committee had "made available to all Members of Congress information concerning a serious national security threat" on Wednesday.

She was one of only two House Republicans to vote in favor of creating the select committee. In response, Trump and his allies have endorsed and campaigned for her opponent in Wyoming. "I personally reached out to the Gang of Eight. It is highly unusual, in fact, for the national security adviser to do that, and I did that," he said.

He has managed to keep the committee publicly united on the investigation and largely avoided any behind-the-scenes disagreements from becoming public, including discussions over whether to call Donald Trump to testify. "That's been on the books, so I am a bit surprised that Congressman Turner came out publicly today, in advance of a meeting on the books, for me to go sit with him alongside our intelligence and defense professionals tomorrow," Sullivan told reporters. We’re working on it and there’s no need for alarm,” he told reporters at the Capitol. Turner has been a voice for stronger U.S. national security, putting him at odds with some Republican colleagues who favor a more isolationist approach. He has called for the renewal of a key U.S. government surveillance tool while some fellow Republicans and liberal Democrats have raised privacy objections. He also sent an email to members of Congress saying his committee had “identified an urgent matter with regard to a destabilizing foreign military capability” that should be known to all congressional policy makers.

White House officials conceded the matter is “serious,” but there are ways to “contain” the threat without triggering mass panic, these officials said. The United States House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI), also known as the House Intelligence Committee, is a committee of the United States House of Representatives, currently chaired by Mike Turner. House of Representatives charged with the oversight of the United States Intelligence Community, though it does share some jurisdiction with other committees in the House, including the Armed Services Committee for some matters dealing with the Department of Defense and the various branches of the U.S. military.

National security adviser Jake Sullivan told reporters at the White House that he already had been due to brief Turner and other senior congressional leaders on Thursday. Sullivan did not disclose the topic or provide any other details related to Turner’s statement. President Joe Biden has been tracking the national security threat and directed White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan to engage with congressional leaders, according to two U.S. officials. The intelligence sparked an urgent but vague warning Wednesday from the Republican head of the House Intelligence Committee, who urged the Biden administration to declassify information about what he called a serious national security threat.

They’re moving “expeditiously” ahead as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has instructed. LAist is part of Southern California Public Radio, a member-supported public media network. However, two members of McCarthy's conference -- Reps. Nancy Mace of South Carolina and Victoria Spartz of Indiana -- have said they won't back him removing Omar.

A national security supplemental funding package, which includes aid for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan, is stalled in Congress. Trump was instrumental in killing a larger foreign aid and border security deal in the Senate this month. Turner’s statement also got out in front of what the White House said was a planned briefing for congressional leaders. Prior to establishing the permanent select committee in 1977, the House of Representatives established the "Select Committee on Intelligence", commonly referred to as the "Pike Committee", so named after its last chairman, Otis G. Pike of New York. The select committee had originally been established in February 1975 under the chairmanship of Congressman Lucien Nedzi of Michigan.

The rapidly evolving threat in space was one of the primary reasons that the U.S. A lot of that threat has to do with new capabilities that China and Russia have already developed that can interfere with critical satellite-based U.S. communications, such as GPS and the ability to quickly detect missile launches. Turner issued a statement urging the administration to declassify the information so the U.S. and its allies can openly discuss how to respond. In Moscow, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov described the claims about a new Russian military capability as a ruse intended to make the U.S. Washington, DC — Today, the Ranking Member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, Jim Himes (CT-04), announced subcommittee assignments for th...

Kinzinger, the other Republican to vote to create the committee, was also asked by Pelosi to serve on the panel. Devin Gerald Nunes GOIH (/ˈnuːnɛs/;[1] born October 1, 1973) is an American businessman and politician who is chief executive officer of the Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG). Before resigning from the House of Representatives and joining TMTG, Nunes was first the U.S. representative for California's 21st congressional district and then California's 22nd congressional district from 2003 to 2022.
