Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi broke with fellow Democrats who had criticized President Trump's military action against Syria to endorse the move late Thursday. Making sure Assad knows that when he commits such despicable atrocities he will pay a price is the right thing to do, Schumer said in a statement released late Thursday. I salute the professionalism and skill of our Armed Forces who took action today. Tonight's strike in Syria appears to be a proportional response to the the regime's use of chemical weapons, Pelosi said in a statement. Following the missile launch at 8:40 p.m. Thursday, some Democratic lawmakers criticized Trump for not asking Congress' permission before choosing to launch 59 Tomahawk missiles at an airbase in west Syria where it's believed Tuesday's chemical weapon attack originated.

President Obama's lame duck administration poured on thousands more new regulations in 2016 at a rate of 18 for every new law passed, according to a Friday analysis of his team's expansion of federal authority. While Congress passed just 211 laws, Obama's team issued an accompanying 3,852 new federal regulations, some costing billions of dollars. The 2016 total was the highest annual number of regulations under Obama. Former President Bush issued more in the wake of 9/11. The proof that it was an overwhelming year for rules and regulations is in the Federal Register, which ended the year Friday by printing a record-setting 97,110 pages, according to the analysis from the Competitive Enterprise Institute. The annual Unconstitutional Index from Clyde Wayne Crews, CEI's vice president for policy, said that it was much higher under Obama than under former President George W. Bush.

Child care centers operate on razor-thin margins — thinner, even, than those of the restaurant industry — and many are lucky to wind up in the black at the end of the year. A restaurant can raise prices to meet the new cost of doing business, but child care operations have limited flexibility. Both the state-funded programs and their private counterparts are bound by strict state ratio requirements, which mandate that a certain number of employees be present with the children each day. “That’s one of the unintended consequences” of Oakland’s Measure FF, the November ballot measure that raised the city’s minimum wage from $9 an hour, said Richard Winefield, executive director of the nonprofit child care referral service Bananas. A lot of (centers) are run on very narrow margins, and when they increase the hourly rate on their employees, they need to pass that on in tuition costs, so families need to fork over more money. Winefield says that in most cases, parents waiting for a subsidy make a few dollars a week above the cutoff for state welfare, but are still “very much in need.” Doutherd keeps track of the many painful testimonials from these parents, some of whom can’t keep jobs because they have no one to look after their children. Because they don’t have employment, many are also unable to find housing, she says. Charlotte Guinn, whose home day care center is entering its 20th year in downtown Oakland, says she raised monthly tuition prices by $40 to $60 in January to anticipate the minimum wage hike, to about $950 a month. “I have people who park in front of my home and walk to work so they can save $600 to pay for child care,” she said, adding that one parent recently begged for a payment deadline extension after her car broke down. Guinn has tried to cut corners in every way possible, asking parents to donate crayons or napkins, and even urging them to sell candy door-to-door to raise money. Because of ratio requirements, she can’t lay off any staff to meet her new bottom line. Lift Up Oakland, the group that campaigned to get the minimum wage raised, maintains that businesses will not be hurt by Measure FF. The group, on its website, estimates, “Operating costs will increase by 0.3 percent for retail and 2.8 percent for restaurants.” [...] workers in the city’s child care industry said they supported Measure FF even though they knew it could create hardship for their businesses. Angie Garling, early care and education program administrator for Alameda County, concurred, calling it “a shame” that the caregivers who make it possible for Oakland parents to go to work every day are still at the bottom of the pay scale. At City Hall, Mayor Libby Schaaf has pulled together a group of local foundations to create an assistance plan for struggling nonprofits, including state-funded child care programs, according to a spokeswoman.

In the last days of World War II, the Red Armyâs rampaging assaults on Austria and Germany included the raping of hundreds of thousands of women. When a senior Communist denounced such behavior, Josef Stalin criticized not the rapist soldiers, but the Communist: âCanât he understand if a soldier who has crossed thousands of kilometers through blood and fire and death, has fun with a woman or takes some trifle?â Once, sexual violence inflicted on women was regarded as a normal part of war, whether to be celebrated as the victorâs âtaking some trifle,â or regretted as part of what makes war hell. Soviet sexual violence was extreme during World War II, but, though totals are debated, American, French and British rape victims too were counted in the many thousands.
