question:
Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt  will have a soundproof communication booth. (Susan Walsh/AP)
The Environmental Protection Agency is spending nearly $25 000 to construct a secure  soundproof communications booth in the office of  Administrator Scott Pruitt   according to government contracting records.
 Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt  addressed the Conservative Political Action Conference on Feb. 25 in Oxon Hill  Md. (The Washington Post)
In recent months   Pruitt  and  his  top deputies have taken other steps aimed at heightening security. Some EPA employees have been asked to surrender their cellphones and other digital devices before meetings in the administrator’s office  in much the same way visitors do when visiting the president in the Oval Office.

 Pruitt  also has shied away from using email at EPA  often preferring to deliver instructions verbally and hold face-to-face meetings. The shift stems in part from public disclosure by the New York Times in 2014 — following an open-records request of emails — of how  Pruitt  and other attorneys general had worked closely with the oil and gas industry to oppose Obama administration environmental safeguards.
Thousands more pages of emails from  his  time as Oklahoma’s attorney general  released earlier this year after the Center for Media and Democracy sued for them to be made public  detailed an often-chummy relationship between  Pruitt ’s office and Devon Energy  a major oil and gas exploration and production company based in Oklahoma City.
In addition   Pruitt  has largely avoided the agency’s decades-long practice of publicly posting the administrator’s appointment calendars. Only last week were details on months worth of meetings released after media outlets filed repeated Freedom of Information Act requests for that information; they showed  he  has met regularly with corporate executives from the automobile  mining and fossil fuel industries — in several instances shortly before making decisions favorable to those interest groups.
Pruitt  who has become a polarizing and high-profile figure as  he  seeks to roll back Obama-era policies and shrink the EPA’s footprint  has essentially tripled the personal security detail that served past administrators. The detail now includes about 18 people to cover round-the-clock needs and  his  frequent travel schedule. Such 24/7 coverage has prompted officials to rotate in special agents from around the country who otherwise would be investigating environmental crimes.

EPA spending almost $25 000 to install a secure phone booth for Scott Pruitt


question:
During the war  no one was more emblematic of the changing power dynamics than  Farah Baker   a 16-year old Palestinian girl who came to international attention for  her  social media updates about life in Gaza.  Baker  was not tied to any political group and  her  perspective on the war was a personal one. Yet  her  social media presence catapulted  her  to global attention and told the Palestinian story to the world in a way that resonated emotionally. It also empowered  Baker  as a political actor  something that  she  had never expected and that could never have occurred in any previous conflict.
During the war  no one was more emblematic of the changing power dynamics than  Farah Baker   a 16-year old Palestinian girl who came to international attention for  her  social media updates about life in Gaza.
Normally  a young teenage girl living under aerial bombardment would have been considered a bystander  at best  or a victim  at worst. But thanks to  her  Twitter feed  where  she  shared both  her  fears as well as  her  attempts to maintain normal life amid the war   Farah  became an important part of the Palestinian effort to sway global opinion on the conflict.
“At only sixteen   Farah  understood  even if only instinctively  the importance of social media in wartime  especially to a perpetual underdog like the Palestinians ” Patrikarikos wrote. “She understood the power that it gave to a single individual and to networks of individuals  power that previously would have been impossible.”
In her own small way  with her tweets and updates during the war   Farah Baker  had played a role in shifting the narrative and forcing the world to grapple with the Palestinian narrative of the conflict.
“I don’t have the ability to carry a weapon and I would never kill anyone  so my only weapon was to broadcast the truth and to let people know what was happening here ”  Baker  told Patrikarakos in an interview at  her  Gaza home. “I was more effective than I ever imagined  because of the amount of followers I got and because so many people told me I had changed their minds [about the war] and opened their eyes.”

question:
Mike Lawlor  undersecretary for Criminal Justice Policy and Planning in Connecticut   says the delay is unusual and unexplained. Last year Connecticut received about $2.6 million in JAG grants.
"Every single state gets one of these grants and this year not a single state has gotten it and we have repeatedly asked the Department of Justice what's going on "  Lawlor  said. "They consistently can't or won't answer the question so we don't know. We assume it's because they have concerns about sanctuary cities around the country."
At this point though  the DOJ hasn't just missed the disbursement date. States have not even been notified of the grant award  which usually happens around April or May  according to  Lawlor .
"There's going to be more steps that have to take place before the money's actually received  and typically it's about six months from the date of the award until the date you get the check  " Lawlor  said. "And it's important to keep in mind  this is going on in every state in the country. The reddest of red states  you know  Mississippi  Alabama  they're having the same problem."
