In this one-hour webinar, Tami Luhby, who covers health care for CNNMoney, helps journalists identify local story ideas and gives them a road map to possible sources to develop them. YOU WILL LEARN How to identify local story ideas as to how the Affordable Care Act is affecting the delivery of health care for consumers, providers and insurers.

Tracking Tribal Cash and Influence to Washington by Russ Choma

Reynolds Center for Business Journalism

This training was originally held during the Native American Journalists Association’s (NAJA) annual conference in Santa Clara, Calif., July 10, 2014. In Washington, money helps make just about every decision — every law that is passed, every regulation revised and every new or discarded agency policy. From issues unique to Native Americans, such as tribal sovereignty and Bureau of Indian Affairs programs, to broader issues – natural resources management, environmental stewardship and immigration reform – that may have unique implications for Native communities, money is often the deciding factor. In the last two decades, tribes and Native communities have begun asserting themselves in Washington like never before. Dozens of tribes have made use of new economic prosperity to hire powerful lobbyists and write campaign checks that make lawmakers pay attention. While many groups have been marginalized or shut out of the influence game by the rising cost, the Center for Responsive Politics data show that the pace of tribes’ and Native communities’ spending in Washington has only quickened. While much of the impetus for this new power in Washington is related to casino gaming, the conversation being driven by tribal money now goes far beyond that one issue. This free training provided journalists with tips on how to tap into the world of money and influence in Washington, and how decisions affecting tribes and Native communities are being influenced — and who is trying to influence them. YOUR INSTRUCTOR Russ Choma is the money-in-politics reporter at the Center for Responsive Politics’ OpenSecrets.org. His series, “Blown Away: Tracking stimulus grants for renewable energy,” found that more than 80 percent of the first $1 billion in grants to wind-energy companies went to foreign firms, and many renewable-energy projects that received stimulus cash were built well before President Obama was even inaugurated.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...

Levi Shapiro

Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg, The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation. This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability. Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots. The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee. • The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act. • The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X. • The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
