The ranking Republican on the House Budget Committee is pressing the Biden administration to account for how much money it is costing taxpayers in litigation and settlement costs after President Biden halted construction on the wall at the U.S.-Mexico border, canceling government contracts in the process.

Rep. Jason Smith, R-Mo., accused the Biden administration of "effectively undermin[ing] efforts to protect our southern border" by ceasing border wall construction and demanded to know what the financial impact of that decision will ultimately be. In a letter to Undersecretary of Defense Michael McCord sent Tuesday evening, Smith said that "historic levels of illegal migration to our southern border as well as a national security, humanitarian, and public health crisis" are the result of this and other administration decisions.

"It is important that the American people are aware of any costs DOD is incurring or will incur due to the resulting litigation and contract disputes that will come from the Administrations misguided actions,"the letter said.

At a June 24 House Budget Committee hearing, McCord had agreed to provide this information, and Smiths letter followed up on that agreement. Additionally, Smith is now asking how many contracts the Biden administration has canceled, how much more money it plans on spending to settle contracts, and for any remaining contracts if the Department of Defense is now "paying contractors to not construct a border wall along the southern border[.]"

GAO SAYS BIDEN HALT OF BORDER WALL CONSTRUCTION DOES NOT VIOLATE LAW

Fox News reached out to the Department of Defense for comment but it did not immediately respond.

"President Biden's decision to ignore the will of Congress by halting border wall construction is part of a broader failure by his administration to respond to the devastating circumstances at our southern border that are enriching violent cartels and undermining the safety and security of the America people," Smith said in a statement. "The American people are picking up the tab for President Bidens failed policies, and we intend to find out exactly how much this disastrous decision is costing hard working families."

Meanwhile, Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich announced Monday he is seeking an injunction against Biden's efforts to stop border wall construction. Brnovich's office first sued the Department of Homeland Security in April, allegingthe administration has not complied with its obligations under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) when it ended border wall construction and the "Remain in Mexico" policy which kept migrants in Mexico until their hearings were processed.

House Republican demands Biden admin reveal cost of canceling border wall construction - Fox News

President Joe Biden delivered a major voting rights speech in Philadelphia Tuesday, excoriating the Republican Party for election subversion and urging Congress to pass the For the People Act.

President Joe Biden: This year alone, 17 states have enacted not just proposed, but enacted 28 new laws to make it harder for Americans to vote, not to mention and catch this nearly 400 additional bills Republican members of the state legislatures are trying to pass.

But Biden stopped short of calling for an end to the filibuster, which many now see as the only way to circumvent Republican obstructionism and to pass voting rights legislation at the federal level. Well have more on voting rights later in the broadcast with two of the Texas Democratic state representatives who helped lead this weeks walkout to block the passage of Texas Republicans voter suppression bills.

Biden Condemns Republican Election Subversion But Does Not Call for End to Filibuster - Democracy Now!

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) North Carolina Republicans advanced legislation on Wednesday that defines how teachers can discuss certain concepts about race and racism inside the classroom.

GOP Senate leader Phil Berger said his chamber is taking action as Republicans across the country seek to counter their understanding of critical race theory, a framework legal scholars developed in the 1970s and 1980s that centers on the idea that racism is systemic in the nations institutions, maintaining the dominance of white people in society.

The latest version of the North Carolina bill would prevent teachers from compelling students to personally adopt any ideas from a list of 13 beliefs, even though though they cannot identify a single case of this happening inside the states classrooms, which serve about 1.5 million K-12 public school students.

We dont want to indoctrinate folks in what I think is the core of critical race theory, which is that race is determinative of whether or not someone is going to be successful, that race is determinative of all matter of things that happen in society and that past discrimination justifies current discrimination, Berger told The Associated Press in an interview before unveiling the updated education measure.

Architects of the theory accuse Republicans of hijacking a national conversation on race and inaccurately representing their ideas. The theory does not argue that people are inherently racist and its early adopters do not say they are advocating for a new form of discrimination to remedy past injustices. Instead, they view race as something that is culturally invented. They say the GOP is simply appealing to its largely white base of supporters ahead of next years elections.

This is a 2022 strategy to weaponize white insecurity, to mobilize ideas that have been mobilized again and again throughout history, using a concept or set of ideas that they can convince people is the new boogeyman, Kimberl Crenshaw, an early proponent of the theory, said earlier this year.

Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper is likely to veto any final bill that reaches his desk. Republicans would almost assuredly lack the Democratic votes theyd need in both the House and Senate to override a veto.

Berger also announced that his party will seek a constitutional amendment that would go before voters in March 2022 aimed at affirming our commitment to the principles of the Civil Rights Act.

Critical race theory emerged in response to a lack of progress toward racial equality that legal scholars observed years after the landmark 1964 legislation.

Republicans backing the bill being discussed in an education committee Wednesday afternoon have thus far identified three counties Durham, Mecklenburg and Wake where groups of teachers have either attended or could soon attend events where they are presented with ideas GOP members link to the theory. Republicans worry views espoused in those trainings could trickle down to students.

The theory caught the attention of former President Donald Trump last year after a conservative activist appeared on Fox News and discussed racial bias trainings within the federal government that he found objectionable. Trump subsequently issued an executive order barring federal contractors from conducting racial sensitivity trainings and teaching any of nine divisive concepts he outlined.

Though a federal judge blocked Trumps directive and President Joe Biden rescinded the diversity training ban, Republican-controlled legislatures have adopted language from Trumps executive order in bills largely targeting schools.

As of Monday, 26 states have considered legislation or other steps to limit how race and racism can be taught, according to an analysis from Education Week.

Berger, who previously expressed concern with the bill the House passed along party lines in May, said it now clarifies that its OK for teachers to discuss these ideas involving race, as long as they dont promote them by compelling students, teachers or other school workers to personally adopt the beliefs.

His revisions to House Bill 324 added five prohibited concepts, including any claim that the U.S. government should be violently overthrown or that all Americans are not created equal.

School districts would have to provide instruction materials promoting any of the 13 concepts to members of the public upon request. People also could get detailed information about speakers, consultants or diversity trainers hired by a district who discussed or previously advocated for such concepts.

The new language is unlikely to assuage fears among Democrats, education groups and racial justice advocates that the bill would reduce education about the lingering of effects of slavery and discrimination, stifle teachers ability to lead open conversations and make aspiring educators question whether they want to enter the workforce.

It is a bill that is intended to put a chilling effect on anti-racist teaching and to make it hard to talk about those uncomfortable and difficult but much-needed conversations around racism and sexism in our classrooms, said Tamika Walker Kelly, president of the North Carolina Association of Educators.

Berger believes the concerns are overblown.

If theyre not indoctrinating students, then there should be no concern about the bill as drafted because all the bill prohibits is that indoctrination. So if its not happening, they shouldnt be up in arms about the existence of the bill, Berger said.

N. Carolina GOP would ban K-12 promotion of views about race - Associated Press

Defund the police a rallying cry during the 2020 protests following the unwarranted deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and others at the hands of police is now a congressional football that Democrats and Republicans keep throwing up as Hail Mary passes without anyone scoring a touchdown.

First, Republicans accused Democrats of embracing defund the police to take police off the street, which they said would fuel lawlessness and make communities less safe. U.S. Sen. Bill Cassidy and other Republicans pushed for a COVID-19 relief package for local governments that would help save the jobs of first responders and teachers.

This is about robust growth. We have to do as much as we can for as many as we can, Cassidy said at the time This is about taking care of first responders. I dont want to be the guy defunding the police.

According to Democrats, Cassidy is that guy. Last month, Democrats accused Republicans of defunding the police. Not one Republican voted for President Joe Bidens American Rescue Plan. Biden urged cities with increasing crime to use $350 billion of coronavirus relief funds to hire more police officers and to pay more overtime. He added that the funds could be used to increase the number of programs that help people dealing with substance abuse and help fund mental health services that we know will make a difference in the prevention of crime.

Fortunately for Louisiana, state officials stopped playing games long enough to approve several police reform bills that Gov. John Bel Edwards signed into law. These new state laws:

Even though Republican state senators defeated an important bill that would have limited police use of qualified immunity, our state still has done more than Congress has. The state formed the Police Training, Screening and De-escalation Task Force, which included lawmakers from both parties, representatives from law enforcement, professionals, academics, activists and other community stakeholders. The taskforce submitted 18 recommendations for police reform.

Congress has been trying to pass a police reform bill since Derek Chauvin, a former Minneapolis police officer, murdered George Floyd. The George Floyd Justice in Policing Act passed the House by a 236-181 vote on June 25, 2020. The Senate, however, cant get the job done.

If approved, the federal bill would create a national police misconduct registry and require all federal, state and local law enforcement to submit reports about complaints and discipline. The bill also would ban the use of chokeholds and no-knock warrants in drug cases. Those bans would only apply to federal officers, a small portion of the nations police forces.

While the national parties are playing political games in the Senate, police are still killing Black people unjustly, gun violence continues to soar, and carjackings are on the rise. In New Orleans, for example, residents are afraid to pump gas at local stations because carjackings have increased by 91.3% so far this year. According to the New Orleans City Council Crime Dashboard, other violent crimes also are rising: fatal shootings have increased by19%, murders without a gun are up 71%, aggravated assaults have increased by 47% and non-fatal shootings have increased by 75.8%.

Nationally, there was an 18% increase in murders for the first three months of 2021 compared with the same time period in 2020, according to a New York Times study.

The protestors who shouted defund the police last year were demanding that money be reallocated from policing to fund other agencies, such as those that provide mental health services. According to Arjun Singh Sethi, adjunct professor of law at Georgetown Law School, there are two camps: reduce funds and reform aspects of policing, or completely abolish police forces as we know them.

Both camps have merit.

We cant defund the police while violent crimes are rising. At the same time, we must eliminate the systemic racism responsible for the injustice and unnecessary deaths of Black people by police. We must strive to stop the long history of police violence against Black people; to prevent the unequal treatment in the criminal justice system; and to keep everyone regardless of race, nationality or income safe.

In other words, the U.S. Senate needs to stop passing the ball and help fix whats broken.

Republicans and Democrats accuse each other of 'defunding the police' | Tammy C. Barney - Louisiana Illuminator

Jocelyn Kiley, associate director for political research at Pew, argues, however, that her data shows something quite different. The Pew analysis is based on responses to 10 questions, each of which asks subjects to pick between two alternatives for example, government is almost always wasteful versus government often does a better job than people give it credit for, or homosexuality should be discouraged by society versus homosexuality should be accepted by society.

In recent years, Kiley wrote in an email,

on a few basic values most notably, views around gay and lesbian people and same-sex relationships society as a whole (including both Republicans and Democrats) has moved in a more liberal direction.

In addition, Kiley noted,

members of both parties hold more positive views of immigrants than in the past, even as the partisan divide on these views has become more pronounced.

The Democratic shift to the left reflects in large part a parallel shift in the general public. The median voter has become more liberal, and as a result, in 2017 Democratic voters were modestly closer to the median voter than Republican voters (by one point on a 20-point scale).

I asked Brian Schaffner, a principal investigator at the Cooperative Election Study and a political scientist at Tufts, about the Drum and Linker columns. Schaffner made an argument similar to Kileys:

The overall median among the population of Americans has moved leftward from 1994 to 2017. Even if Republicans have shifted less than Democrats, compared to their views in 1994, this hardly makes them less extreme in the current moment. To put a finer point on it, imagine an individual who supported school segregation in 1965 and who still held that same view 50 years later. Clearly it is the lack of a shift in views over five decades that would have made that individual extreme in the year 2015.

Schaffner observes that the data

shows a very clear shift among Democrats, while Republicans hardly move at all. But independents are also moving in the same direction as Democrats on these issues. Sure, Republicans arent shifting their views, but their unwillingness to update their assessments of racism in America is essentially leaving them behind as the rest of Americas attitudes are evolving.

Ryan Enos, a political scientist at Harvard, took the Schaffner argument a step further:

Most importantly, I think we should question whether the culture war metaphor is appropriate war gives the idea that there are aggressors trying to change society to match their preferences, but much of the change in opinion we see from both parties is necessarily a reaction to society changing around them.

Democrats, Enos continued,

moved to the left on gay marriage because more of them were beginning to know gay people who had come out of the closet despite the legal and social pressures not to. And Democrats moved to the left on immigration because the Western world, not just the United States, is diversifying as economic and social trends have moved people from one part of the world to another. On these and other issues, Democrats attitudes change then not because they are trying to shape society, but because they are merely reacting to it.

It would be wrong, Enos concluded, to think cultural change is all about politics.

The Pew data is based on questions first developed in 1994 and include none of the contentious contemporary issues that have provoked pushback against the left wing of the Democratic Party.

In a March 12 column published before his Myth of asymmetric polarization essay, Linker himself assigned responsibility to Trump and to Republicans for a climate in which it sometimes seems as if the culture war has swallowed up everything in American politics. Linker traces this phenomenon to

Donald Trumps presidential campaign and victory against Hillary Clinton in November 2016. Trump won, in part, by blending strong support from religious conservatives with firm backing by more secular conservatives and moderates who responded to Trumps strong, culturally inflected defense of immigration restrictionism, gun rights, and Americas distinctive national identity. Through his four years in office, Trump used Twitter, public rallies, and other presidential statements to frame many of his policy commitments in culture war terms, casting his opponents on these issues as morally alien from American culture and history. By the last year of his presidency, Trump had gone far beyond abortion, immigration, and guns to culturalize crime, race relations, economic policy, voting rights and even mask-wearing in response to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Andra Gillespie, a political scientist at Emory, expanded on this point in an email:

The questions that comprise the Pew index are not necessarily what is driving concern about extremism today. Today, we are concerned about who is more likely to believe in QAnon or which group is more likely to believe that armed resistance to government might be necessary to save America.

Recent data, Gillespie wrote, shows that Republicans are far more likely to believe in QAnon or that significant proportions of Republicans believe that the 2020 election was stolen, despite a wealth of evidence to the contrary. This, Gillespie contends, is the reason that the public discourse is focusing on right-wing extremism right now.

As the 2022 election comes into view, the key issue is less the question of which party is the aggressor in the culture wars than whether Republicans can gin up enough controversy over the so-called woke agenda to make it salient to voters on Election Day, regardless of whether or not responsibility for these issues can reasonably be attributed to the Democratic Party.

Opinion | Lean Into It. Lean Into the Culture War. - The New York Times

Republicans are questioning Amazons relationship with the Pentagon after newly released emails show that defense officials praised tech executives vying for a $10 billion contract during the Trump administration.

On Tuesday, The New York Times reported on previously unreleased emails that show Pentagon officials applauding Amazon executives while the company sought out a lucrative defense contract between 2017 and 2018. The Joint Enterprise Defense Infrastructure project, or JEDI, set out to find a tech company that would move the Defense Departments computer networks over to the cloud.

In one instance, the Times reports that former Trump Defense Secretary Jim Mattis traveled to Silicon Valley to meet with executives from companies like Apple, Amazon, and Google in 2017. During this trip, Mattis was made uncomfortable while Amazon representatives aggressively pitched their cloud-computing products to him. A former Mattis adviser, Sally Donnelly, also referred to Bezos as the genius of our age. Donnelly, who later sent Mattis a list of reasons he should meet with Bezos, had previously worked at a consulting firm where her clients included Amazon.

This is exactly what we were concerned about, and it contradicts Amazons insistence that there is nothing to see here, Rep. Ken Buck (R-CO) and Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) said in a joint statement Tuesday. Its become more and more clear that Amazon used its market power and paid-for connections to circumvent ethical boundaries and avoid competition in an attempt to win this contract.

Microsoft won the multibillion-dollar contract in 2019 after a closely watched bidding fight between Amazon. In the months leading up to the contracts winner announcement, former President Donald Trump dialed up his criticism of Amazon founder and former CEO Jeff Bezos, accusing the Bezos-owned Washington Post of unfair media coverage.

But earlier this month, the Defense Department announced that it would cancel its contract amid an ongoing legal battle alleging that Trump wrongfully interfered in the bidding process. In canceling the prior contract, Amazon is given a second chance to win the $10 billion deal. But Republicans in Washington are calling for the company to testify regarding its Pentagon relationships in light of the newly released emails.

Now, more than ever, we need to ask Amazon, under oath, whether it tried to improperly influence the largest federal contract in history, the lawmakers wrote.

A clean hydrogen economy could be the answer to transitioning out of fossil fuel use. Being the most abundant element on the Earth and making up more than 90% of all known matter, it can be seen as the most feasible renewable resource available.

With its non-toxic characteristics, it has become an alternative fuel globally; NASA has used hydrogen to power space programs since 1958 and car manufacturers such as Toyota and Honda have also taken an interest in this resource to fuel vehicles.

However, the transition into the use of hydrogen has also brought a few challenges to light, with the use of electrolysis to break down water into hydrogen and oxygen having limitations for mass use.

This article will explore the method of hydrogen production and its limitations as well as the role nanotechnology can play in resolving this.

As a clean and more sustainable resource, water electrolysis could be an alternative to fossil fuels. Electrolysis is the process of using an electrical current to split water into hydrogen and oxygen. It involves two half-cell reactions, which include a hydrogen evolution reaction and an oxygen evolution reaction.

Similar to any other chemical reaction, energy is required to overcome the barrier in electrochemical processes to produce hydrogen from water, known as the overpotential.

Both these half-cell reactions require suitable catalysts to minimize this overpotential for effective hydrogen and oxygen production and platinum-group metal-based catalysts, as well as their derivatives, are known to be the most efficient catalyst for hydrogen evolution reactions. However, this metal group is rare and expensive which restricts the mass use of these metals to produce hydrogen to meet global demand.

The process of using electricity to break water into hydrogen and oxygen was first discovered in 1800, by two British researchers who had the realization that Alessandro Voltas novel invention of the voltaic pile battery could be used for this reaction.

This reaction being produced on a larger scale can provide a very real possibility of powering a more green economy as an alternative clean fuel for long-term energy storage and heavy-duty transportation.

However, at this current state, more than 95% of hydrogen production is derived from natural gases through reactions that also produce carbon dioxide as a waste product. This would further the negative impact that carbon dioxide has as a greenhouse gas on the planet.

The mass production of electrolysis would utilize precious metals that are rare and expensive, which creates a challenge for scientists to find a less expensive and more sustainable source of metals to produce hydrogen and oxygen.

Tyler Mefford, a scientist working with Stanford and the Stanford Institute for Materials and Energy Sciences (SIMES) at SLAC who led related research, has commented that there arent enough precious metals in the world to power this reaction at the scale we need, and their cost is so high that the hydrogen they generate could never compete with hydrogen derived from fossil fuels.

The lack of efficiency and sustainability of this process illustrates the requirement in better understanding the workings of water-splitting catalysts in order for the process to be effectively improved. However, the techniques to observe this process have fallen short due to the liquid environment of using an electrocatalytic reactor.

With the advancement of the field of nanotechnology, this problem can now be addressed effectively. Around 10 years ago, a research group led by Patrick Unwin in the University of Warwick invented a new technique that puts a miniature electrochemical cell inside a nanoscale droplet that works at the tip of a pipette tube.

The function of the droplet consists of imaging the topography of a surface it is in contact with, as well as the ionic and electronic currents, with very high resolution.

This invention is approximately a decade old and would not work for the purposes of catalyst investigation, and so Unwins research team has been able to adapt this miniature device for use in a chemical environment. The adaption of this device enabled the researchers to move the device across the surface of a single catalyst particle during the reaction; this assisted them to zoom in to study extremely small regions of reactivity, allowing the study of oxygen generation at a scale more than one hundred million times smaller than typical techniques," said postdoctoral researcher, Minkyung Kang.

Another discovery that was made during this research was that the reaction was being affected by the edges of the catalyst at a higher rate, denoting the significance of having sharp, thin features on catalysts.

The significance of the characterization that was enabled by the novel device is the advancement of how catalysts would work to accelerate the split of water electrolysis. Water electrolysis by renewable resource-derived electricity would be a sustainable path to a greener economy.

The search for new electrocatalysts for electrochemical hydrogen evolution reaction materials is being carried out using advanced nanomaterials. This approach would utilize more available and cheaper nanoparticles, with a focus on non-platinum electrocatalysts based on transition metals, metal alloys, transition metal oxides, carbides, metal-free composite catalysts and more.

The field of nanotechnology is integral for the advancement of a more green economy with the characterization of novel catalysts which will ensure the quality of the catalyst is quantifiable as well as the use of nanomaterials as catalysts. Both these developments could help shape the way hydrogen can be sourced in a more renewable fashion for mass use to meet the global demand.

Using Nanotechnology to Address the Limitations of Hydrogen Production - AZoNano

DUBLIN, May 21, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The "Nanobiotechnologies - Applications, Markets & Companies" report from Jain PharmaBiotech has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

Nanobiotechnology, an integration of physical sciences, molecular engineering, biology, chemistry and biotechnology holds considerable promise of advances in pharmaceuticals and healthcare.

The report starts with an introduction to various techniques and materials that are relevant to nanobiotechnology. It includes some of the physical forms of energy such as nanolasers. Some of the technologies are scaling down such as microfluidics to nanofluidic biochips and others are constructions from bottom up. Application in life sciences research, particularly at the cell level sets the stage for the role of nanobiotechnology in healthcare in subsequent chapters.

Some of the earliest applications are in molecular diagnostics. Nanoparticles, particularly quantum dots, are playing important roles. In-vitro diagnostics, does not have any of the safety concerns associated with the fate of nanoparticles introduced into the human body. Numerous nanodevices and nanosystems for sequencing single molecules of DNA are feasible. Various nanodiagnostics that have been reviewed will improve the sensitivity and extend the present limits of molecular diagnostics.

An increasing use of nanobiotechnology by the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries is anticipated. Nanotechnology will be applied at all stages of drug development - from formulations for optimal delivery to diagnostic applications in clinical trials. Many of the assays based on nanobiotechnology will enable high-throughput screening. Some of nanostructures such as fullerenes are themselves, drug candidates, as they allow precise grafting of active chemical groups in three-dimensional orientations.

The most important pharmaceutical applications are in drug delivery. Apart from offering a solution to solubility problems, nanobiotechnology provides and intracellular delivery possibilities. Skin penetration is improved in transdermal drug delivery. A particularly effective application is as nonviral gene therapy vectors. Nanotechnology has the potential to provide controlled release devices with autonomous operation guided by the needs.

Nanomedicine is now within the realm of reality starting with nanodiagnostics and drug delivery facilitated by nanobiotechnology. Miniature devices such as nanorobots could carry out integrated diagnosis and therapy by refined and minimally invasive procedures, nanosurgery, as an alternative to crude surgery. Applications of nanobiotechnology are described according to various therapeutic systems. Nanotechnology will markedly improve the implants and tissue engineering approaches as well.

Of the over 1,000 clinical trials of nanomedicines, approximately 100 are selected and tabulated in major therapeutic areas. Other applications such as for management of biological warfare injuries and poisoning are included. Contribution of nanobiotechnology to nutrition and public health such as the supply of purified water are also included.

There is some concern about the safety of nanoparticles introduced in the human body and released into the environment. Research is underway to address these issues. As yet there are no FDA directives to regulate nanobiotechnology but as products are ready to enter the market, these are expected to be in place.

Future nanobiotechnology markets are calculated on the basis of the background markets in the areas of application and the share of this market by new technologies and state of development at any given year in the future. This is based on a comprehensive and thorough review of the current status of nanobiotechnology, research work in progress and anticipated progress.

There is a definite indication of large growth of the market but it will be uneven and cannot be plotted as a steady growth curve. Marketing estimates are given according to areas of application, technologies and geographical distribution starting with 2020. The largest expansion is expected between the years 2024 and 2030.

Profiles of 252 companies, out of over 500 involved in this area, are included in the last chapter along with their 185 collaborations. The report is supplemented with 51 Tables, 32 figures and 800 references to the literature.

ABSTRACT

The outbreak of SARS-CoV-2 infection has presented the world with an urgent demand for advanced diagnostics and therapeutics to prevent, treat and control the spread of infection. Nanotechnology seems to be highly relevant in this emergency due to the unique physicochemical properties of nanomaterials which offer versatile chemical functionalization to create advanced biomedical tools. Here, nano-intervention is discussed for designing effective strategies in developing advanced personal protective equipment kits, disinfectants, rapid and cost-effective diagnostics and therapeutics against the infection. We have also highlighted the nanoparticle-based vaccination approaches and how nanoparticles can regulate the host immune system against infection. Overall, this review discusses various nanoformulations that have shown clinical relevance or can be explored in the fight against COVID-19.
