[Q]: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Rand Paul ? The Senate passed a sweeping bipartisan spending bill Friday morning  but not before the federal government shut down when Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) delayed the vote past midnight to complain about the budget deficit. It was the second government shutdown in less than three weeks.
Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) on Feb. 8 spoke on the Senate floor against a bipartisan budget deal and delayed a vote on the measure. (U.S. Senate)
Then  as an expected vote approached in the Senate   Paul  began to throw up roadblocks  demanding a vote on  his  amendment that would demonstrate how the two-year budget deal breaks past pledges to rein in federal spending.
GOP leaders refused to allow  him  to offer the amendment  arguing that if  Paul  got an amendment vote  many other senators might want one  too.  Paul   in turn  refused to allow the vote to go forward  making use of Senate rules that allow individual senators to slow down proceedings that require the consent of all.
“I can’t in all good honesty  in all good faith  just look the other way because my party is now complicit in the deficits ”  Paul  said on the Senate floor as evening pushed into night.
 Paul  objected after a visibly irritated McConnell tried to move to a vote. Then  Paul  launched into a lengthy floor speech deriding bipartisan complicity on deficit spending while the country goes “on and on and on  finding new wars to fight that make no sense.” The senator direly predicted a “day of reckoning ” possibly in the form of the collapse of the stock market.
As the hours ticked on   Paul  repeatedly refused to consent to allowing the vote to happen  as lawmakers and aides of both parties grew increasingly annoyed at  him . Sen. John Cornyn (R-Tex.)  leaving the floor after an unsuccessful attempt to curtail  Paul ’s standoff  called the gambit “grossly irresponsible” and said that leaders would not entertain  his  demand for a vote.
Senators of both parties were left fuming  with most of their ire directed toward  Paul .
“ He  has mastered the art of ticking off  his  colleagues ” said Sen. Christopher A. Coons (D-Del.).
“It’s a colossal waste of everybody’s time ” said Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.). Of  Paul   Thune said  “He never gets a result.”
 Paul himself  made no apologies as  he  delivered one floor speech after another  casting  himself  as a lone defender of fiscal austerity  despite having voted in December for a tax bill that added at least $1 trillion to the debt.

[Q]: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Ryan Lizza ? The New Yorker cut ties with  Ryan Lizza  over sexual misconduct.
 Lizza  was one of the magazine's most prominent journalists.
 He  said  he  was "dismayed" at The New Yorker's decision.
The New Yorker on Monday announced that it had cut ties with  the high-profile political reporter Ryan Lizza  because of what  it  characterized as "improper sexual conduct."
"The New Yorker recently learned that  Ryan Lizza  engaged in what we believe was improper sexual conduct " the magazine said in a statement. "We have reviewed the matter and  as a result  have severed ties with  Lizza . Due to a request for privacy  we are not commenting further."
CNN  where  Lizza  is a political analyst  also said on Monday that he would not appear on the network while it investigates.
"We have just learned of the New Yorker's decision " a CNN representative said. " Ryan Lizza  will not appear on CNN while we look into this matter."
In a statement   Lizza  said  he  was "dismayed that The New Yorker has decided to characterize a respectful relationship with a woman I dated as somehow inappropriate."
But the lawyer representing an alleged victim of  Lizza 's misconduct pushed back on his statement.
"Although she desires to remain confidential and requests that her privacy be respected  in no way did  Mr. Lizza âs misconduct constitute a 'respectful relationship' as  he  has now tried to characterize it " Douglas Wingdor said in a statement. "Our client reported Mr. Lizzaâs actions to ensure that he would be held accountable and in the hope that by coming forward she would help other potential victims."
 Lizza  has for years been one of the most high-profile political journalists in America  writing lengthy profiles about former President Barack Obama and others.
Earlier this year   Lizza  reported on an expletive-filled conversation he had with Anthony Scaramucci  President Donald Trump's communications director. Days after the report  Scaramucci departed the White House; he had been in the position for one week.
