US House Allows Proxy Vote for First Time Amid Pandemic
The U.S. House of Representatives on Friday approved an unprecedented change to its rules, allowing lawmakers to vote by proxy for the first time in history because of the coronavirus pandemic.The 217-189 vote fell mostly along party lines, with the chamber’s majority Democrats backing the measure.The new rule allowed Speaker Nancy Pelosi to call for a proxy vote on a Democrat-backed $3 trillion emergency aid package, which followed an already-enacted $3 trillion aid package to stem the economic effects of the coronavirus.The proposed new legislation is opposed by Republicans and is expected to be blocked by the Republican-controlled Senate.Friday’s rule change in the House followed fierce debate between Democrats and Republicans. Democrats argued that it is not safe for House members to return to Washington during the pandemic and said members can use technology to work remotely. Republicans said the Democrats were trying to grab power during a crisis and said the new rules would change the chamber for the worse.“We should all get to Washington, do our jobs,” said Congressman Bradley Byrne, a Republican from the state of Alabama.Congressman Jim McGovern, a Democrat from Massachusetts, who is the chairman of the House Rules Committee, said, “This House must continue legislating. And we have to do so in a way that is safe for all those around us.”Under the new rules, lawmakers do not have to travel to Washington and can stay in their home districts. They are allowed to assign their vote to another lawmaker, who will vote for their choice by proxy. The rules allow for House members to cast their votes in the future by direct remote viewing, once the technology is approved.House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, a Republican from California, had previously proposed a hybrid plan that would allow House committees to work remotely but would still require members to vote in person on the House floor. McCarthy argued that if other Americans had to report to work, Congress members should as well.Democrats said the rule changes are only temporary and should only be used in times of crisis.

Trump Fires State Department Inspector General
U.S. President Donald Trump fired the State Department’s inspector general late Friday.The late-night firing of Steve Linick is the president’s latest dismissal of a government watchdog. Trump has now dismissed three since his February acquittal on impeachment charges by the U.S. Senate and has criticized others.The president said in a Friday night letter to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi that he “no longer” had the “fullest confidence” in Linick.“The President’s late-night, weekend firing of the State Department Inspector General has accelerated his dangerous pattern of retaliation against the patriotic public servants charged with conducting oversight on behalf of the American people,” Pelosi said in a statement Friday. “Inspector General Linick was punished for honorably performing his duty to protect the Constitution and our national security, as required by the law and by his oath.”Rep. Eliot Engel, a New York Democrat who’s chairman of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, said in a statement that his office had learned the State Department’s Office of the Inspector General had opened an investigation into Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. “Mr. Linick’s firing amid such a probe strongly suggests that this is an unlawful act of retaliation,” Engel said in a statement.Linick was appointed to the inspector general post by President Barack Obama.Linick’s participation in the impeachment process was limited to briefing several congressional committees and providing the lawmakers with documents from Rudy Giuliani, the president’s lawyer.

Fate of DACA Still Uncertain
The fate of about 800,000 young undocumented immigrants brought to the United States as children is in the hands of the nine U.S. Supreme Court justices. The court is expected to decide in the coming weeks if the Trump administration has the right to end a program that allows these immigrants to work in the U.S. free from the threat of deportation. Amid the 2020 presidential campaign, the Supreme Court is hearing a lawsuit that began after the September 2017 decision by President Donald Trump to terminate the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. Three injunctionsImmigrant groups filed several lawsuits against the administration’s decision and argued that ending DACA was unlawful, resulting in U.S. district courts in the District of Columbia, California and New York issuing three nationwide injunctions, allowing DACA recipients to renew their deferred action. Shelly Peskin, a legal assistant at CASA de Maryland and member of Avodah Jewish Service Corps, told VOA that while the Supreme Court’s decision has not been issued, they are pleading with clients to renew their DACA benefits. “I am taking clients whose expiration dates are through early 2021. … We are doing appointments over the phone because CASA has gone remote for the foreseeable future,” she said. Mercedes Kent, of New York City, left, marches in support of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) and Temporary Protected Status (TPS) programs for immigrants, Jan. 17, 2018, in Miami.USCIS offices reopen on June 4The injunctions by the three district courts obligates U.S. Citizenship Immigration Services (USCIS), the agency responsible for administering the nation’s legal immigration system, to continue accepting and adjudicating DACA renewal applications. “The typical protocol for when USCIS is open and functioning normally is between four and eight months. … But before all this [pandemic] happened, we were seeing really fast [turnover] times from USCIS. … I was sending out DACA [applications] one day and they were coming back about a month later with the approvals,” Peskin said. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, USCIS offices will remain closed until June 4, but the staff has continued to perform duties that do not involve face-to-face contact with the public. Though the fate of DACA remains uncertain, eligible DACA recipients are encouraged to submit renewal applications. If the justices agree with the government, the Trump administration could end the program. There is also a lawsuit in Texas claiming that DACA is illegal, and it could likely go forward in the U.S. court system. Texas and six other Republican-governed states sued the U.S. government hoping to end the program initiated by former President Barack Obama. Texas, joined by Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana, Nebraska, South Carolina and West Virginia, argued in the lawsuit that the Obama administration exceeded its authority by creating the program without congressional action.

США отказались от российских ИВЛ и масок с накруткой 1800%
Помните мы отправляли в Америку ИВЛ, точнее даже их продали, назвав это гуманитарной помощью? Так вот, Америка ими так и не воспользовалась, а теперь и вовсе изымает, потому что они загораются. Вот тебе и помощь, российское импортозамещение. А у нас ими пользуются, они у нас и загорелись. Да и тут BBC выяснила, что в метро на маски идет накрутка в 1800%. Почему бы не заработать на новую плитку в такое трудное время?

House to Vote Friday on More Virus Aid, Despite GOP Skeptics
The Democratic-controlled House is pressing ahead Friday with votes on another massive rescue bill that would pump almost $1 trillion to state and local governments, renew $1,200 cash payments for individuals, and extend a $600 weekly supplemental federal unemployment benefit.
The first four coronavirus response bills were bipartisan measures that passed by sweeping votes, but Friday’s measure — with a $3 trillion-plus price tag that exceeds the prior bills combined — promises to pass largely along party lines.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has loaded the 1,815-page measure with a slew of Democratic priorities, including funding to cover rent payments and utility bills, “hazard pay” for essential workers, and grants to thousands of municipal governments grappling with sagging revenues.
But it’s earned a White House veto threat and a scathing assessment from top Republicans like Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., who called it “a totally unserious effort.” Few Republicans are expected to vote for the bill tomorrow despite popular provisions like help for the Postal Service and local schools, $1,200 payments to most Americans, and $175 billion to help homeowners and renters stay in their homes.
The legislation comes as the country continues to struggle with the health and economic crisis caused by the highly contagious virus, which has claimed more than 85,000 lives in the U.S. and caused at least 36 million people to lose their jobs. Just Thursday, the government reported that almost 3 million people filed jobless claims last week.
The response has been an unprecedented wave of deficit-financed federal aid aimed at propping up businesses, supporting household balance sheets, and pay for a massive health system response. On Wednesday, Federal Reserve Board Chairman Jerome Powell urged lawmakers to act further, warning that the economic shock is “significantly worse” than any downturn since the Great Depression.
The government’s budget was supposed to be $4.6 trillion even before the pandemic hit. The response so far has added almost $3 trillion to that, but hasn’t arrested the economy’s drop. That’s made GOP defense hawks uneasy about the prospect of more aid. And polls show Republican voters think the government is generally doing enough.
Republicans are now calling for a “pause” before considering more aid, reflecting disunity between conservatives who feel enough has been done and more pragmatic lawmakers who favor steps like rescuing the Postal Service from looming insolvency, while delivering cash to revenue-starved state and local governments.
Underscoring the stakes, it’s also becoming clear that the next coronavirus response bill will probably be the last.
“I think the bill we pass in June will likely be the last major bill,” said Sen. Roy Blunt, R-Mo. “There may be some effort to pass a bill in September or October but it will get increasingly difficult.”
The House Democrat’s bill ignores Trump’s demand for a cut in the Social Security payroll tax, It also does not replenish the Payroll Protection Program that’s been a favorite of Republicans and their business allies.
The measure is likely to pass Friday along party lines, though Rep. Kendra Horn, D-Okla., announced her opposition on Thursday, while New York Republican Peter King says he will support it.
The earlier bills, debated as the magnitude of the crisis was becoming clear, featured sweeping votes and debates notable for their bipartisanship and sense of common purpose. Now, disagreements about re-opening the economy, which appear to cleave along party lines, have crept into the debate.
At a Capitol news conference, Pelosi, D-Calif., lambasted Republicans who’ve said they want to hold off for now on more relief spending. “It’s amazing to me how much patience and how much tolerance someone can have for the pain of others,” she said.
Pelosi told reporters she believed both parties “and even down Pennsylvania Avenue” — a reference to the White House — understand “the hardships Americans are feeling.” She called the Democratic proposal “our offer” and said while she’s had no recent negotiations with Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, the administration’s chief bargainer, “I’m sure that they’ll come with something.”
White House officials quickly released a statement of their own. It said the legislation Pelosi unveiled Tuesday is “more concerned with delivering on longstanding partisan and ideological wishlists than with enhancing the ability of our Nation to deal with the public health and economic challenges we face.”
McConnell said later Thursday on Fox News that there was a “high likelihood” Congress would do another bill and said it would include GOP-sought language limiting legal liability for companies reopening for business. But he added, “it’s not going to be a $3 trillion left-wing wish.”

What is Obamagate?
U.S. President Donald Trump’s long-standing accusation of criminality against his Democratic predecessor, Barack Obama, has taken on a new name: Obamagate.In this new iteration being hotly promoted by Trump and his right-wing allies, Obama officials in the waning days of his administration conspired to entrap Trump’s national security adviser, Michael Flynn, as part of a larger plot to bring down the incoming president.The conspiracy theory took on new life after the Justice Department, in a dramatic about-face last week, moved to drop its criminal case against Flynn, saying the FBI was not justified in investigating him over his 2016 conversations with Russia’s former ambassador to Washington.FILE – Former Trump national security adviser Michael Flynn leaves the federal courthouse in Washington, following a status hearing, July 10, 2018.As part of its reassessment of the Flynn case, the Justice Department released a deluge of records that shed light on previously unknown Obama administration deliberations over Flynn. That led Trump to claim that Flynn had been illegally targeted and that the decision to investigate him went all the way up to the previous president.”The biggest political crime in American history, by far!” Trump said in one of a blizzard of tweets and retweets referencing Obamagate on Sunday.In short order, the hashtag “Obamagate” went viral, giving an old conspiracy theory a new twist.Asked on Monday to describe Obama’s alleged crime, Trump would only offer that “some terrible things happened, and it should never be allowed to happen in our country.” He predicted further disclosures in the coming weeks.Obama is a favorite and frequent target of Trump’s attacks. Trump turned up the heat on his predecessor after Obama, in leaked comments to former officials in his administration, blasted the Justice Department’s decision to let Flynn off the hook, saying the “rule of law is at risk.”By advancing new allegations against the former president, Trump is also apparently seeking to implicate his likely opponent this fall, Obama’s vice president, Joe Biden.Here is a primer on the controversy.Obamagate originsAt its core, Obamagate is an old allegation given a new name.As early as March 2017, Trump alleged that Obama had illegally wiretapped the billionaire businessman at Trump Tower during the 2016 presidential election campaign, comparing the alleged surveillance to the Nixon-era Watergate scandal. The following year, Trump claimed that the FBI had planted an informant inside his campaign, dubbing the alleged conspiracy “Spygate.”FILE – Russia’s ambassador to the U.S. Sergey Kislyak, speaks with reporters in Washington, Jan. 13, 2017.The main allegation in Obamagate is that the former president directed the Flynn investigation, even though the FBI had no legitimate reason to probe the retired three-star general. Flynn, a one-time Democrat, served as the Obama administration’s top military intelligence official before being forced out of the job and later aligning with Trump.Flynn was investigated twice in 2016 and 2017, first as part of the FBI’s probe into ties between the Trump campaign and Russia, and later over a series of conversations he had with Russia’s then-ambassador to Washington, Sergey Kislyak, in which he counseled the Russians to refrain from retaliation against Obama administration sanctions — hinting that Trump would soften them once in office.WATCH: On Path to Reelection, Trump Takes Aim at ObamaSorry, but your browser cannot support embedded video of this type, you can
FILE – Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates speaks during a news conference at the Justice Department in Washington, June 28, 2016.As Yates recounted during a 2017 interview with special counsel Robert Mueller’s team, Obama began by saying “he had learned of the information about Flynn” and his conversations with Kislyak regarding the sanctions on Russia.This was news to Yates, who as the Justice Department’s No. 2 official oversaw the FBI but had not been told about it.As Comey later told the House Intelligence Committee, he alerted CIA Director John Brennan as soon as he learned about the Flynn calls. Brennan in turn briefed Obama.Yates and Rice later recounted what Obama said at the meeting. According to Yates, while Obama said he did not want details of the investigation, he asked “whether the White House should be treating Flynn differently” during the remaining days of the administration.FILE – FBI Director James Comey testifies on Capitol Hill in Washington, Sept. 27, 2016.Yates did not recall Comey’s response to the question. In an email to herself on Obama’s last day in office, Rice memorialized that Obama reiterated at the meeting that “our law enforcement team needs to proceed as it normally would by the book.”Yates and other former officials have defended the Flynn investigation. Yet, the fact that the White House meeting came the day after the FBI was preparing to close the Flynn investigation, and Obama was aware of Flynn’s wiretapped calls to Kislyak, has led Trump, right-wing commentators and Flynn’s lawyers to claim that the subsequent Flynn investigation over his calls to Kislyak constituted an anti-Trump conspiracy that reached the highest levels of the Obama administration.”So, the whole thing was orchestrated and set up within the FBI, (former national intelligence director James) Clapper, Brennan and in the Oval Office meeting that day with President Obama,” Sydney Powell, Flynn’s attorney, told Fox News on Sunday.Recently declassified FBI records of the Flynn case that were turned over to Flynn’s lawyers provided further fodder for conspiracy theory promoters.In one widely cited handwritten note, a top FBI official mused whether the goal of interviewing Flynn over his calls to the Russian ambassador was to “get him fired” or get him to lie.Unmasking of FlynnThe Obamagate conspiracy theory feeds off another allegation: the politically motivated unmasking of Flynn’s identity during the Trump transition period.U.S. intelligence analysts routinely “mask” the identity of U.S. persons whose communications are incidentally collected during intelligence-gathering on foreign officials. Flynn’s conversations with Kislyak were apparently overheard during a routine interception of Kislyak’s calls.Authorized national security officials seeking to understand the underlying intelligence can ask the National Security Agency to “unmask” an individual’s identity.This is a common practice. But Trump and his allies have long accused former Obama administration officials of illegally unmasking Flynn’s identity for political purposes.This week, Richard Grennell, a close Trump ally who serves as acting director of national intelligence, disclosed the names of more than a dozen Obama officials who requested the unmasking of Flynn’s identity during the final weeks of the administration.The list includes a string of Obama administration officials Trump has long viewed as his enemies — Brennan, James Clapper, director of national intelligence, and Comey.Prospects for an investigationSince starting Obamagate, Trump has been pressing congressional Republicans to investigate Obama. That prospect is highly unlikely.”If I were a Senator or Congressman, the first person I would call to testify about the biggest political crime and scandal in the history of the USA, by FAR, is former President Obama,” Trump tweeted on Thursday. “He knew EVERYTHING. Do it @LindseyGrahamSC, just do it. No more Mr. Nice Guy. No more talk!” Trump tweeted on Thursday.FILE – Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., speaks to reporters on Capitol Hill, Feb. 25, 2020.But Senate Judiciary Chairman Lindsey Graham, a Trump confidant, says he is not interested in dragging Obama before Congress.”I don’t think now’s the time for me to do that,” Graham told Politico. “I don’t know if that’s even possible.”But Graham vowed to call in Trump administration officials as his committee investigates the origins of the Trump-Russia investigation.For their part, Biden and other Democrats dismiss Obamagate as a blatant attempt by Trump to divert attention from growing criticism of his handling of the coronavirus crisis.

У Києві в будинку-інтернаті для дівчат на COVID-19 захворіли понад 80 людей – Кличко
Міський голова Києва Віталій Кличко повідомив, що у столиці в Дарницькому будинку-інтернаті для дівчат підтвердили захворювання на COVID-19 у 81 особи.
«У столиці виявлене нове вогнище захворювання на коронавірус. У Дарницькому будинку-інтернаті для дівчат сьогодні підтвердили захворювання у 81 особи. Там спочатку виявили хвору жінку-працівницю. І після цього зробили ПЛР-тести всім вихованцям та персоналу закладу. Загалом протестували 182 особи», – сказав Віталій Кличко.
Він вказав, що, за результатами тестів, серед хворих 53 вихованки будинку-інтернату – віком від 7 до 35 років, а також інфіковані 28 осіб з персоналу інтернату – 26 жінок і 2 чоловіків.
Повідомляється, що у лікарні столиці госпіталізували трьох пацієнтів із числа персоналу. Інша частина персоналу – на самоізоляції вдома, під контролем лікарів. Інфіковані вихованки закладу перебувають у задовільному стані і отримують медичну допомогу в інтернаті.
«Як з’ясували, вірус занесла одна жінка – молодша медсестра однієї з груп інтернату. Зазначу, що такі інтернати працюють у закритому режимі. Крім персоналу, їх ніхто не відвідує», – наголосив Кличко.
За його словами, наразі Дарницький будинок-інтернат для дівчат повністю закритий на карантин. Там здійснюють заходи з посиленої дезінфекції та медичне обстеження. На в’їзді на територію чергують рятувальники та поліція.
«Ми перевіримо і протестуємо також вихованців та персонал Святошинського будинку-інтернату для хлопчиків. Два міських заклади для людей похилого віку. Та 4 спеціалізованих заклади для жінок та чоловіків. Я ще раз закликаю всіх бути обережними та дотримуватися правил», – сказав Кличко.
За даними МОЗ станом на 15 травня, від початку епідемії коронавірусною інфекцією в Україні заразилися 17330 осіб, 4473 – одужали, 476 людей померли.

Senator Burr Quits as Committee Chair Amid Stock Sale Probe
North Carolina Republican Sen. Richard Burr has stepped down as chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee while the FBI investigates allegations that he sold stocks using inside information about the coronavirus update. “The work the Intelligence Committee and its members do is too important to risk hindering in any way. I believe this step is necessary to allow the Committee to continue its essential work free of external distractions,” Burr said in a brief statement. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said he agreed with Burr that stepping down is in the committee’s best interest. President Donald Trump told reporters he knows nothing about the case against Burr and said it is “too bad” the senator is stepping aside. Burr’s resignation from the committee takes effect on Friday. He decided to give up his important chairmanship after FBI agents seized his cellphone Wednesday from his Washington home. Burr is suspected of using inside information that the coronavirus pandemic was about to send stock prices plummeting. The day after the Dow Jones Industrial Average hit a record high of 29,551 on Feb. 13, Burr sold off several of his holdings worth as much as $1.7 million. The Washington Post reported Burr had access to classified intelligence reports that warned of calamitous consequences from the pandemic. The investigative journalism website ProPublica reported last week that Burr’s brother-in-law Gerald Fauth — a member of the National Mediation Board — also sold his shares valued between $97,000 and $280,000. Burr denies using information he received as a senator to sell his stocks. His attorney, Alice Fisher, says her client “participated in the stock market based on public information, and he did not coordinate his decision to trade on Feb. 13 with Mr. Fauth.” Federal law prohibits anyone using inside information unavailable to the public and ordinary stockholders to profit in the stock market.A separate act signed by former President Barack Obama in 2012 specifically applies the ban on insider trading to politicians and public officials.Burr was one of three senators to vote against the act.

The Senate has passed legislation that would extend a series of expired federal surveillance tools designed to help law enforcement officials track suspected terrorists, moving one step closer to reviving them. The legislation passed the Senate 80-16 Thursday. The bill is a bipartisan compromise that has the support of Attorney General William Barr, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. Yet it’s unclear how quickly the legislation can become law. The House passed the bill in March but will have to pass it again because of a change in the Senate. The House has been holding votes on a limited basis during the coronavirus pandemic. President Donald Trump has said he will support the compromise, but GOP senators who are longtime skeptics of federal surveillance have tried to change his mind. They want him to veto it. The bill would renew the expired surveillance authorities and impose new restrictions to try to appease civil liberties advocates in both parties. The provisions at issue allow the FBI to get a court order for business records in national security investigations, to conduct surveillance without establishing that the subject is acting on behalf of an international terrorism organization, and to more easily continue eavesdropping on a subject who has switched cellphone providers to thwart detection. FILE – In this April 21, 2020, file photo Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Ky., speaks with reporters after the Senate approved a nearly $500 billion coronavirus aid bill on Capitol Hill in Washington.”The attorney general and members of Congress have worked together to craft a compromise solution that will implement needed reforms while preserving the core national security tools,” McConnell said on the Senate floor Wednesday. “These intense discussions have produced a strong bill that balances the need for accountability with our solemn obligation to protect our citizens and defend our homeland.” McConnell urged senators to vote against amendments altering the bill. He said the legislation was already a “delicate balance” and warned changing it could mean the underlying provisions won’t be renewed. “We cannot let the perfect become the enemy of the good when key authorities are currently sitting expired and unusable,” McConnell said on the Senate floor before the vote. But senators adopted one amendment anyway, with more than three-fourths of the chamber supporting it. Another amendment came just one vote short of the 60 votes needed. The successful amendment, from Republican Sen. Mike Lee of Utah and Democratic Sen. Patrick Leahy of Vermont, would boost third-party oversight to protect individuals in some surveillance cases. It was adopted 77-19. The proposal that fell just short of 60 votes would have prevented federal law enforcement from obtaining internet browsing information or search history without seeking a warrant. Senate Intelligence Committee member Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore. questions CIA Director John Brennan on Capitol Hill in Washington, Feb. 9, 2016.”Should law-abiding Americans have to worry about their government looking over their shoulders from the moment they wake up in the morning and turn on their computers to when they go to bed at night?” said Democratic Sen. Ron Wyden of Oregon. “I believe the answer is no. But that’s exactly what the government has the power to do without our amendment.” Wyden co-sponsored the proposal with Republican Sen. Steve Daines of Montana. Julian Sanchez, a senior fellow at the Cato Institute, a think tank, said the near-adoption of the amendment “suggests a sea change in attitudes” about surveillance. A third amendment, by Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., a longtime skeptic of surveillance programs, was soundly defeated 11-85. It would have required the government to go to a traditional federal court, instead of the secretive Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, to get a warrant to eavesdrop on an American. The congressional debate coincides with internal efforts by the FBI and Justice Department to overhaul their surveillance procedures after a harshly critical inspector general report documented a series of problems in the FBI’s investigation into ties between Russia and the 2016 Trump campaign. The report identified significant errors and omissions in applications that were submitted in 2016 and 2017 to monitor the communications of former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page. Though the problems revealed by the Russia investigation relate more to the accuracy of surveillance applications than to the effectiveness of the expired tools at issue Thursday, they nonetheless drew additional scrutiny to the government’s spy powers as well as concerns from some in Congress that those authorities should be reined in. The FBI has announced steps designed to ensure that the application process is more accurate and thorough, and that information that cuts against the premise of the requested surveillance is disclosed to the court.

Whistleblower Testifies on ‘Scientific Integrity’ in US Coronavirus Response
The United States lacks a comprehensive plan to respond to the coronavirus, a U.S. health official warned lawmakers Thursday.Dr. Rick Bright, an immunologist for the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), issued the warning in testimony before a congressional committee. He alleged in a whistleblower complaint that he was removed from his position for prioritizing science in the government’s coronavirus response.Bright told a House panel that time was running out for the United States to mount a response to the pandemic, and he warned that a resurgence of the virus in the fall could result in 2020 becoming “the darkest winter in modern history.”As of Thursday afternoon EDT, the pandemic had killed more than 85,000 people in the United States, according to figures from Johns Hopkins University.President Donald Trump criticized Bright ahead of his testimony, tweeting Thursday morning, “He is a disgruntled employee, not liked or respected by people I spoke to and who, with his attitude, should no longer be working for our government!”Until last month, Bright was the director of the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA), a U.S. agency responsible for vaccine development.’Politicizing the response’In a statement, HHS said Bright was continuing to draw a salary “while using his taxpayer-funded medical leave to work with partisan attorneys who are politicizing the response to COVID-19.”But House Democrats said Bright’s concerns provided a critical picture of the U.S. government’s response to the pandemic.Chairman Anna Eshoo, D-Calif., gives her opening statement during a House Energy and Commerce subcommittee hearing to discuss protecting scientific integrity in response to the coronavirus outbreak, May 14, 2020, on Capitol Hill in Washington.“Dr. Bright has filed one of the most specific and troubling whistleblower complaints I’ve ever seen. He was the right person, the right judgment at the right time. He was not only ignored, he was fired for being right,” said Representative Anna Eshoo, chair of the House Energy and Commerce health subcommittee, which heard his testimony Thursday.Bright said he began warning leaders at HHS in January about a “critical shortage” of protective equipment that health care workers in the United States would need in order to safely and effectively treat patients with COVID-19.“I pushed HHS to ramp up U.S. production of masks, respirators and other critical supplies, such as medicine, syringes and swabs. Again, my urgency was dismissed, and I was cut out of key high-level meetings to combat COVID-19,” Bright said in his statement.He said he was met with hostility by HHS leaders, and that officials repeatedly ignored outreach from at least one mask manufacturer that said it had idle mask production lines that could be reactivated with government help.Warnings of shortagesMichael Bowen, executive vice president of Prestige Ameritech, confirmed that he reached out to Bright about his company’s readiness to produce masks, and said in his own statement to the committee that he’d warned about mask shortages in the United States for 13 years.Michael Bowen of Prestige Ameritech testifies before a House Energy and Commerce subcommittee to discuss protecting scientific integrity in response to the coronavirus outbreak, May 14, 2020, on Capitol Hill in Washington.Bowen said HHS, the Defense Department, Department of Veterans Affairs and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention “could have worked together to secure America’s mask supply.”Bright suggested that the government take several steps now, including educating the public on basics, such as hand-washing, social distancing and proper use of masks. He also advocated boosting production of essential equipment and supplies, having a system to fairly share them across the country, and putting in place a national testing strategy.House Republicans questioned Bright’s cautious attitude toward hydroxychloroquine, a malaria drug that Trump claimed as a possible treatment for the coronavirus.Federal ‘leeway’“Doctors across the country will use drugs off label in a circumstance where they don’t have or see a viable alternative,” said Republican Representative Larry Bucshon, a former surgeon. “In this situation, I think a little bit of understanding and leeway from the federal government is in order.”Bright told lawmakers there were concerns that the drug could cause patients to develop an irregular heartbeat or even cause death, suggesting more studies in controlled conditions were needed before using the drug to treat COVID-19.

Денісова: Україна розробила механізм, щоб допомогти батькам вивезти дітей, народжених сурогатними матерями
Україна розробила механізм, щоб допомогти батькам вивезти за кордон дітей, народжених сурогатними матерями, повідомила уповноважена Верховної Ради з прав людини Людмила Денісова у Facebook. Наразі це зробити складно через закриті кордони.
За її словами, напередодні її представники виїхали до готелю «Венеція» в Києві, де перебувало 51 немовля.
«З них – 15 дітей були з батьками в цьому ж готелі. 36 дітей, якраз на відео можна було їх побачити, вони перебували у двох кімнатах. На всіх дітей були виписані свідоцтва про народження. Батьки всіх цих діточок є громадянами іноземних країн», – сказала Денісова.
Вона розповіла, що 15 дітей з батьками наразі не можуть виїхати з України через спричинені коронавірусом обмеження. Батьки ще 36 дітей не можуть заїхати на територію України.
За її словами, Міністерство закордонних справ України запропонувало цим батькам звернутися до своїх посольств за допомогою. Деякі посольства відмовилися це робити.
Вона отримала звернення від клініки, яка повідомила, що загалом в Україні понад 100 дітей зараз чекають на своїх батьків у різних центрах репродуктивної медицини. За прогнозом установи, у випадку продовження карантинних обмежень кількість цих дітей може досягти майже тисячі.
«Тому, безумовно, потрібно напрацювати такий механізм, щоб батьки могли приїхати за своїми дітьми й повезти їх туди, де вони будуть виховуватися в родині. Тому сьогодні зранку я провела робочу нараду за участі представників МЗС, ДМС. Ми напрацювали дієвий механізм вирішення цієї проблеми», – стверджує Денісова.
Вона запевнила, що батьки можуть звернутися до неї для вирішення проблеми в’їзду та виїзду з України. Після цього омбудсмен планує звертатися до Міністерства закордонних справ за дозволами.
«Якщо цим батькам необхідна буде допомога для оформлення проїзних документів на дитину, то я безпосередньо буду звертатися до ДМС, щоб таке питання вирішити», – наголосила Денісова.
Наприкінці квітня центр репродуктивної медицини BioTexCom оприлюднив відеоролик із десятками немовлят, які чекають на батьків на території готелю «Венеція» в Києві. Адміністратор готелю запевняла, що няні кожного дня доглядають за дітьми належним чином.
BioTexCom закликала батьків, які не можуть перетнути кордон, не впадати у відчай, оскільки окремі країни вже почали співпрацювати з Україною.
13 травня Денісова заявила, що цей відеоролик – «свідчить, що держава не вживає всіх належних заходів щодо захисту прав дітей та гідне ставлення до них, а Україна стає країною-донором народження для іноземців дітей, долю яких вона не може проконтролювати».
Вона переконувала, що надання цих послуг іноземним громадянам може призвести у першу чергу до порушення прав дітей та до ситуації, у якій Україна не здатна захистити своїх громадян. У зв’язку з цим Денісова хоча на законодавчому рівні дозволити сурогатне материнство винятково для громадян України.
