[Q]: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Dana Baiocco ? Dana Baiocco  President Donald Trumpâs pick to sit on the Consumer Product Safety Commission  made her name helping companies avoid responsibility for harmful products. A partner at law firm Jones Day   Baiocco  has represented big tobacco and fought in court against asbestos workers who developed mesothelioma.
But the cases  she âs litigated that may conflict most directly with the CPSCâs mission of protecting the public from dangerous products involve all-terrain vehicles. While the CPSC was leading a campaign over ATV safety   Baiocco  was representing Yamaha in several suits over  its  two-person Rhino ATV.
 Baiocco âs appointment would put Republican appointments in the majority of the five-person commission  which could halt or reverse progress on a number of issues  including restrictions on off-highway vehicles  a category that includes ATVs. âIndustry very much wants the agency to abandon that rule-making â said Rachel Weintraub  legislative director and general counsel for the Consumer Federation of America. âAnd once there is a Republican majority  that may happen.â
In a letter  Baiocco  sent to the CPSC special counsel last month  she said she would recuse herself from âany particular matter in which I know that I have a financial interest directlyâ and issues that are of direct interest to her husbandâs firm  White and Williams. The letter didnât specifically address ATVs or Ikea dressers.
Remington A. Gregg  counsel for civil justice and consumer rights at Public Citizen  said  Baiocco  should âabsolutely recuse herselfâ from those and âany products sheâs worked on.â
Itâs unclear how many of those products she might encounter as a CPSC commissioner. In addition to Yamaha   Baiocco  who has worked at Jones Day since 1998   has defended R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company in a class-action suit filed on behalf of smokers in Florida. According to a financial disclosure form she submitted to the Senate   Baiocco  received at least $5 000 âin a yearâ from 13 clients  including R.J. Reynolds  Volkswagen AG  and the chemical manufacturer Daikin Industries  in addition to  her  more than $1.2 million salary from Jones Day.  She  also represented Honeywell Safety Products in a suit filed by the survivors of a worker who developed mesothelioma after being exposed to asbestos at the World Trade Center site.  Her  client list also includes airplane parts manufacturer Parker Hannifin  which  she âs represented in wrongful death cases involving 13 people  including the late Missouri Gov. Mel Carnahan.
 Baiocco  and the White House did not respond to requests for comment.
Consumer advocates will be closely watching Baioccoâs confirmation hearing in the Senate Commerce Committee  which is scheduled for Wednesday. âWe want to hear that  she âs actually concerned about health and safety and that  she  would work to protect our families â said Gregg. â Her  career shows the opposite.â

[Q]: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Steve Bannon ? American Prospect editor Robert Kuttner is livid that because of the Democratsâ decades-long betrayal of working-class voters on issues like trade and illegal immigration   former White House Chief Strategist Steve Bannon  sees a huge opening to permanently win over these voters who were a monumental part of President Donald Trumpâs historic movement in 2016.
Kuttner visited  Bannon  at the Breitbart Embassy for an on-background conversation last Thursday.  He  writes in the Prospect that âDemocrats  the party of Roosevelt and Truman  of grand public works and strong labor protections  should be making it preposterous for  Bannon â to be the champion of economic populism and is astounded that the two parties are âeven in contention over who is the better friend of working people.â
But  Bannon  realizes that for  him  to successfully âcrushâ Democrats   he  must defeat the corporatist and milquetoast GOP establishment that has often been the Democratsâ best friend by easily allowing the left to portray right-of-center politicians as out-of-touch elitists who have no understanding about the concerns of working-class Americans.
Kuttner points out that  Bannon  is currently âorganizing an electoral machine to Trumpâs right  and certainly to the right of the Republican Senate leadershipâand  he  hopes to bring that leadership down.â
âFor  Bannon   the victory in the Alabama Senate primary of former Judge Roy Moore over Mitch McConnellâs favorite  incumbent Luther Strange  was just the beginning â he writes of the race that  Bannon  described as a battle between Mooreâs âgrassroots muscleâ versus âStrangeâs corporate money.â
Kuttner notes that after Mooreâs victory   Bannon  declared: âThis is a populist nationalist conservative revolt. Itâs a revolt against the elites in this country. Itâs a revolt against the globalists among those elites.â
Unlike the bipartisanship for the 3.8 percent that elites like Chuck Todd insufferably are activists for  Kuttner writes that  Bannon  âcontinues to look for left-right common groundâ on issues that will benefit American workers of all backgrounds.
 Bannon  told Charlie Rose during  his  60 Minutes interview that economic nationalism will be the great unifying force because âas long as youâre an American citizen  youâre part of this populous economic nationalist movement.â
âEconomic nationalism is what this country was built on. The American systemâwe look after our own. We look after our citizen  we look after our manufacturing base â  Bannon  said on 60 Minutes. âAnd guess what? This countryâs going to be greater  more united  more powerful than itâs ever been. This is not astrophysics. And by the way  thatâs every nationality  every race  every religion  every sexual preference.â
 Bannon  also told Rose that the Republican establishment has never believed in the economic nationalist agenda that got Trump and elected and is âtrying to nullify the 2016 election.â
After his conversation with  Bannon   Kuttner writes that  âBannon  believes that if Republicans will just embrace populist economic nationalism  they can become a workersâ party and the majority party for decades to come. Heâs been on the road  recruiting primary challengers to knock off Republican incumbentsâand carry that populist message.â
Kuttner points out that âBannonâs current obsession is to blow up Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Republican Senate incumbents whom he regards as hostile to his brand of nationalism.â And he acknowledges that  Bannon  can find common ground with left-of-center voters on issues like Wall Street accountability and trade agreements âthat allow cheap labor to compete with domestic labor.â
And Kuttner even concedes that if  Bannon  can find good economic nationalist candidates  âcentrist Democrats could be vulnerable.â
 He  also thinks that Republicans have no business âelecting senators in states like Wisconsin and Pennsylvania â but âas long as Democrats offer messages that blend Wall Street  globalism  and identity politics and fail to deliver a politics of class uplift  even extremist Republicans could keep winning.â
âIf  Bannon âs criticism of establishment Republicans is withering   his  contempt for the failure of Democrats to take on their own Wall Street wing is boundless â Kuttner concludes.
In a previous interview heard around the world with Kuttner   Bannon  told  him  that so long as Democrats obsess about identity politics  right-of-center economic nationalists will âcrushâ them.
