| How Bloomberg laid the groundwork for 2020 Posted: 17 Feb 2020 11:10 AM PST Democratic presidential candidates are turning their attention to Michael Bloomberg just days before the Nevada caucus, critcizing both his spending and his past policies. CBS News chief Washington correspondent Major Garrett has more on why Democrats are angry, and New York Times reporter Nicholas Kulish joined "CBSN AM" to break down how Bloomberg's philanthropic past paved the way to his 2020 campaign.  |
| Where the 2020 Democrats stand on taxes Posted: 17 Feb 2020 10:46 AM PST 2020 Democratic candidates have offered various tax proposals they hope will appeal to voters. The candidates have important differences over items like the corporate tax rate and whether there should be a wealth tax, but they are in agreement that they want taxes on wealthy people and corporations to be higher. Whoever wins the Democratic nomination will have significantly different ideas on taxes from President Trump Here are some of the key elements of 2020 Democratic presidential candidates' tax proposals. Joe Biden The former vice president is one of the more moderate candidates in the race, and his tax plan would not raise taxes on the rich as much as some other candidates would. Still, Biden's plan includes a number of tax increases for higher earners and businesses. Biden has called for raising the top individual tax rate from 37 percent to its pre-GOP tax law level of 39.6 percent and taxing the capital gains of those with more than $1 million in income at the same rates as ordinary income. He's also proposing to cap the value of itemized deductions at 28 percent — an idea that had also been floated by former President Obama. And Biden wants to end a tax break known as "stepped up basis" that benefits heirs. On the corporate side, Biden has called for raising the corporate tax rate from 21 percent to 28 percent, which is lower than the pre-GOP tax law level of 35 percent but is the same rate that Obama proposed. He's also proposing a minimum tax of 15 percent for corporations reporting more than $100 million in income on their financial statements and raising the rate for a minimum tax on foreign earnings created by Trump's tax law from at least 10.5 percent to at least 21 percent. Michael Bloomberg The billionaire former New York City mayor released a tax plan earlier this month. The plan would raise the top individual tax rate back to 39.6 percent and create a 5 percent surtax on incomes above $5 million. It would also tax capital gains at the same rates as ordinary income for those making more than $1 million and make changes to the estate tax so that more estates are subject to it. Bloomberg's proposed tax changes for businesses include raising the corporate tax rate to 28 percent, applying a minimum tax on a country-by-country basis and repealing the GOP tax law's 20 percent deduction for income from noncorporate businesses known as pass-throughs. He'd also provide more resources to the IRS. Pete Buttigieg The former South Bend, Ind., mayor's tax plan, as the campaign outlined to the Wall Street Journal in December, would also raise the top individual tax rate to 39.6 percent, increase capital gains taxes for high earners, repeal the pass-through deduction, create a financial transaction tax and boost IRS enforcement. Buttigieg is also proposing to increase the corporate tax rate back to its pre-GOP tax law level of 35 percent. While Buttigieg is one of the more moderate candidates in the race, he's more in line with the progressives on the corporate tax rate than he is with the other moderates. Buttigieg's campaign website says that he supports expanding the earned income tax credit, which benefits low- and middle-income taxpayers. Tulsi Gabbard Gabbard, a congresswoman from Hawaii, has not gone into much detail about taxes on the campaign trail. In Congress, she voted against the GOP tax law and has co-sponsored bills to create a financial transaction tax and to expand the child tax credit. Amy Klobuchar Klobuchar would raise capital gains taxes for high earners and ensure that taxpayers with incomes of more than $1 million pay at least 30 percent of their income in taxes. The Minnesota senator backs raising the corporate tax rate to 28 percent and rolling back other portions of the GOP tax law benefiting corporations, and Klobuchar has expressed interest in closing "loopholes" that she says incentivize corporations to move jobs overseas. She also supports boosting tax enforcement. Klobuchar's tax proposals don't just focus on raising taxes on rich people and corporations. She has also called for expanding tax credits benefiting low- and middle-income people, such as the earned income tax credit and child tax credit, and has proposed creating new tax incentives aimed at encouraging certain manufacturing and hiring activities. Nearly every Democratic senator has co-sponsored legislation to expand the earned income and child tax credits, including fellow presidential candidates Bernie Sanders Bernie Sanders Sanders, who received the most votes in both the Iowa caucuses and the New Hampshire primary, is the leading progressive candidate and is calling for aggressive tax increases on the wealthy and corporations. Vermont's Independent senator called for a wealth tax with eight brackets, the top one being 8 percent on the wealth of married couples over $10 billion. He'd also significantly expand the estate tax, reducing the amount of money that's exempt from the tax and creating a progressive rate structure for it that tops out at 77 percent for the value of estates over $1 billion. Sanders also has several tax proposals aimed at businesses and Wall Street. He wants to raise the corporate tax rate back to 35 percent and tax both companies' domestic and foreign earnings at that rate. He wants to repeal the GOP tax law's pass-through deduction and require large pass-throughs to pay corporate taxes. He's proposing tax penalties for large corporations' income if they have large gaps between their CEO's pay and their median worker's pay. And he's called for a financial transaction tax. Tom Steyer Like some of the other progressive candidates, Steyer, a billionaire, has called for a wealth tax. His proposal includes three brackets, with the highest being 2 percent on net worth of at least $1 billion. Other proposals from Steyer to raise taxes on the rich include calls for raising the top individual tax rate to 39.6 percent and taxing capital gains and ordinary income at the same rates. He wants to raise the corporate tax rate to 35 percent. Steyer also has some proposals aimed at providing tax relief for those who aren't wealthy. He wants to expand the earned income tax credit and child tax credit, and he also wants to provide a tax-rate cut for individuals making under $200,000 and families making under $250,000. Elizabeth Warren Warren, a Massachusetts senator, laid down a marker for the debate on taxes in the Democratic primary when she proposed a wealth tax in January of last year. Other candidates then followed suit in offering their own proposals to raise taxes on the rich, and wealth taxes became a topic of discussion in debates. The current version of Warren's annual wealth tax would tax net worth between $50 million and $1 billion at 2 percent and net worth above $1 billion at 6 percent. The wealth tax is just one of many tax proposals that Warren has offered to finance her ambitious spending proposals. Other notable tax proposals include a 7 percent tax on corporate profits over $100 million, boosting IRS enforcement, a financial transactions tax and taxing wealthy people's investment gains annually. Warren has also called for restoring the corporate tax rate to 35 percent and a country-by-country minimum tax at that rate.  |

| 8 Retail Stores Closing Their Doors In 2020 Posted: 17 Feb 2020 10:21 AM PST As the retail apocalypse continues to plague retailers in 2020, a number of companies have already announced that they are closing stores this year. Here's a look at all the retailers closing locations in 2020. Express Express announced that it was closing about 100 stores by 2022. As many as nine stores closed in 2019, and another 31 locations closed at the end of January. The apparel and accessories retailer said that it has plans in place to close an additional 35 stores by January 2021 and the remaining locations throughout 2022. JC Penney As JC Penny undergoes a turnaround plan, the company said it was closing six stores in 2020 that will shut their doors on April 24. With the news that JC Penney was closing locations, the company also shut down a call center in Lenexa, Kansas, laying off 243 workers. Macy's Macy's is also closing down some of its stores, saying that 30 locations will shutdown over the next couple of months. Liquidation sales are going on now as the retailer looks to downsize its portfolio of physical stores. Sears And Kmart Sears and Kmart continue to close locations announcing in November 2019 that 96 stores would close in February. Another round of store closures will occur in March and April, with dozens of locations set to close their doors for good at that time. Bed Bath & Beyond Bed Bath & Beyond said it would close 40 stores in 2020. The news of the closures comes as the home goods retailer looks to gain traction in the retail market, hiring a new CEO, and shuffling its executive team. Pier 1 Early in January, Pier 1 Imports announced that it was closing 450 stores throughout 2020. The company then began removing stores from its website, signaling that they were being shut down. Along with the store closures came an announcement that 300 employees would be laid off from the retailer. Barneys New York Effective Feb. 23, Barneys New York will close all of its stores and its corporate headquarters in New York City. The upscale retailer was bought by Authentic Brands Group after it filed for bankruptcy in August 2019. The company has stores located in New York City, San Francisco and Beverly Hills, California, as well as an outlet mall also located in New York. Gap Gap closed 40 stores in one weekend at the end of January. The company also closed 130 locations in 2019 and continues to grapple with a new identity as it looks to bring in shoppers. Gap said it would close 230 specialty stores from 2019 to 2021.  |

| When do we move clocks forward in spring 2020 for Daylight Saving Time? Posted: 17 Feb 2020 09:57 AM PST CLEVELAND, Ohio - Clocks spring forward at 2 a.m. on Sunday, March 8, marking the start of Daylight Saving Time. This means it will get dark an hour later - at 7:27 p.m. on that day in Cleveland, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. It will keep getting dark later each day for the next few months, with sunset occurring at 9:05 p.m. from June 21 through July 2, before beginning to creep earlier again. Daylight Saving Time will be used through Nov. 1, when clocks will "fall" back an hour to begin standard time. The earliest sunsets of the year, at 4:48 p.m., will occur Dec. 2-13. In an oddity, Standard Time is not the norm. About two-thirds of the days during the year operate on Daylight Saving Time. The rules last changed in 2007, the result of the Energy Policy Act of 2005. The change was an effort to reduce energy consumption, according to the National Institute of Standards and Technology. Daylight Saving Time now begins on the second Sunday of March each year and ends on the first Sunday of November. DST has roots tracing to 1918 in the United States, though not all places always observed it. Currently, it is not used in Hawaii and most of Arizona. It's also not observed in American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. Rich Exner, data analysis editor for cleveland.com, writes about numbers on a variety of topics.

Grocery stores and retailers normally stay open, though modify their hours. If you want to take advantage of Presidents Day sales, check out this round-up from U.S. News & World Report of where to shop. The United States Postal Service does not deliver on Presidents Day, so expect any packages to be delayed. UPS and most FedEx services deliver on the holiday, according to Newsweek.

The Scottish singer and London-born rapper both have four nominations, while Stormzy and Mabel are hot on their heels, with three apiece. This year's ceremony has been streamlined, with categories like best international group and the lifetime achievement award ditched to make more room for performances. But the awards have been criticised for a lack of diversity, with only four women nominated across the four categories open to both male and female artists - best group, best new artist, best song and album of the year. Two of those nominations go to the same person, pop singer Mabel, while the remaining two, for Miley Cyrus and Normani, are guest vocalists on songs by Mark Ronson and Sam Smith. Here is the full list of nominees. Best album Best British female Best British male 10 memorable Brit Awards moments Why weren't more women nominated for a Brit Award?

| Barcelona Away Kit 2020/21: Leaked Images Emerge as Blaugrana Set to Go Black & Gold Posted: 17 Feb 2020 08:54 AM PST  © Image by Robbie Copeland Barcelona away kit Images have emerged online of what is said to be Barcelona's away kit for the 2020/21 season, as the club revisit the black and gold style worn in 2011/12 and 2013/14. The club have made headlines with their experimental kit designs in recent seasons, but they appear to have taken it back to basics in a wild departure from their current bright away colours. While the away strip at present opts for an eye-catching yellow with a stripe of red and blue draping diagonally, the more simplistic design in the leaked images appears to have delighted fans. Brought to the fore as ever by Footy Headlines, the images show a solid black shirt with a pale gold trim around the collar and sleeves. There are no eccentric designs; the only other features on the shirt appear to be the Nike 'swoosh', the club's crest, and the name sponsor, all in gold on an entirely two-tone design. It carries shades of the third kits worn by the club earlier in the decade, differing only in its simplicity. Though not pictured, it's reported the club will also opt for black shorts and socks - presumably with a similarly minimal hint of gold. It is not expected to be formally announced by Barcelona until July, but if the leaks hold weight then it will be the first time the club have opted for a black away kit, having only experimented with the colour for third kits in recent seasons. They came close with a dark purple away kit in 2016/17, but most typically they have opted for bright, avant garde designs ranging from turquoise or lime green to yellow or orange.  © Power Sport Images/GettyImages Lionel Andres Messi Given how out there and off-the-wall their away kits have tended to be, the launch is often a source of nervousness from some supporters - so the return to a more stripped back look might come as a relief to the traditionalists among the Catalan fanbase.

| What's Next For Ed Sheeran In 2020? A Look At 'Perfect' Singer's Year Posted: 17 Feb 2020 08:11 AM PST On Feb. 17, singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran will celebrate his birthday. This year, the "Beautiful People" musician will turn 29 years old. Following his 2019 album "No.6 Collaborations Project," which featured collaborations with Cardi B, Justin Bieber, Camila Cabello, and others, fans may be wondering what's next for the talented artist. Unfortunately, the rest of Sheeran's 2020 will seemingly remain a mystery until further notice. On Dec. 24. 2019, he announced on his Instagram that he planned on taking a break from social media. After saying that the "Divide era and tour" changed his life in a variety of ways, he said that he felt it was time for him to go out and experience life in a more private way. He then elaborated that that could include traveling, writing, and reading. His post can be seen below. A post shared by Ed Sheeran (@teddysphotos) on Dec 24, 2019 at 4:00am PST According to Forbes, Sheeran's latest tour, called the "Divide Tour," earned "an overall gross of $775.6 million from 8.9 million tickets sold on six continents." At the time, it was reported that the impressive numbers made it the highest-grossing tour of all time, beating out Madonna, U2, and the Rolling Stones, who recently announced that they themselves are returning to the road. Throughout the aforementioned dates, the "Perfect" singer also earned several other achievements, including the biggest shows in Iceland's history, with one in seven of the population attending, and the highest ticket sales for a single concert tour in both Australia and New Zealand. READ: Ed Sheeran's Hottest New Collaborator Is Heinz Ketchup At this time, it remains unclear when the songwriter will come back to the public eye, but fans can stream his songs on Spotify until his return.  |

| 2020 NFL mock draft: Cowboys, Patriots add to defense in pre-combine first-round projection Posted: 17 Feb 2020 06:28 AM PST Autoplay Show Thumbnails Show Captions Last SlideNext SlideSpeculation season has already started for the NFL draft, but the annual scouting combine will only heighten the intrigue. Regardless of how much the revelations from next week's event in Indianapolis actually reshape teams' opinions on various prospects, the various media interviews and televised on-field testing are bound to cause a stir. Before the overreactions start flying, here's USA TODAY Sports' pre-combine mock draft of the first round: 1. Bengals — Joe Burrow, QB, LSU: The record-setting passer has kept a low profile since capping his Heisman Trophy-winning season with a national championship campaign. Burrow will face plenty of questions when he takes the podium in Indianapolis, with a bulk of them likely to center on his expected selection by the Bengals. Given his standing, there's little reason for him to participate in any of the on-field workouts at the combine. 2. Redskins — Chase Young, DE, Ohio State: It's only February and it's already difficult to find new ways to talk about the seemingly inevitable pairing of Washington and Young. Any other outcome would rank as perhaps the most stunning development of the draft. 3. Lions — Jeff Okudah, CB, Ohio State: With Matthew Stafford trade speculation summarily dismissed by GM Bob Quinn, the most pressing question of Detroit's offseason still hinges on whether a quarterback-hungry team will offer a bounty for this selection — and whether the Lions would accept such a package. Part of that equation should entail weighing the risk of losing out on Okudah, who has a good case to trail only his ex-Buckeye teammate Young among this draft's premiere defensive talents.

Giants — Jedrick Wills Jr., OT, Alabama: For all of the talk about this draft beginning with the Lions' pick, the Giants are the more difficult team to pin down given their swath of issues on both sides of the ball. It shouldn't surprise anyone, however, if GM Dave Gettleman can't pull himself away from Wills, who is the kind of smooth-moving yet powerful blocker both Daniel Jones and Saquon Barkley need. 5. Dolphins — Tua Tagovailoa, QB, Alabama: It likely will be at least a month before Tagovailoa is back in action, as his agent, Leigh Steinberg, said the quarterback would throw for teams in March or April after taking more time to recover from hip surgery. Thing seem to be trending in his favor, though, as NFL Network reported that the results of a CT scan were "as positive as possible." Miami stands out as a natural landing spot, especially given the significant draft capital in hand should the Dolphins feel compelled to move up for him. 6. Chargers — Justin Herbert, QB, Oregon: Philip Rivers' reign in Southern California is officially over, with the franchise ready to identify a successor at quarterback after 16 years. Tyrod Taylor shouldn't be ruled out as a potential Week 1 starter, but Herbert could be hard to pass up — unless Tom Brady or another marquee free agent passer signs. 7. Panthers — Derrick Brown, DT, Auburn: Even if Carolina parts with Cam Newton, rushing a quarterback investment in coach Matt Rhule's first year wouldn't be in keeping with the long-term mentality owner David Tepper looks to be embracing. That dynamic points toward someone like Brown, whose overpowering nature in the middle could have a ripple effect on the rest of the defense. 8. Cardinals — Isaiah Simmons, LB/S, Clemson: With GM Steve Keim saying last week he hopes to re-sign left tackle D.J. Humphries, Arizona might look beyond its offensive front with this selection. Expect Simmons to post some of the most impressive testing numbers at the combine and further build his case for the top 10. FROM NFL TO HIGH SCHOOL: Former Chiefs coach hired as HS coordinator '1000% false': Mason Rudolph responds to Myles Garrett's claim he used racial slur in brawl 9. Jaguars — Javon Kinlaw, DT, South Carolina: After hitting it big with Josh Allen in the first round last year, Jacksonville should once again use its top pick to scoop up a disruptive force along the front four. Kinlaw wowed in a mere two days of Senior Bowl practices and routinely overwhelms blockers with his sheer power and quickness. 10. Browns — Andrew Thomas, OT, Georgia: New coach Kevin Stefanski and GM Andrew Berry look to be in lockstep in their early priorities, with reversing Baker Mayfield's trajectory and instituting a run-first attack among the top items on their to-do list. Nabbing Thomas should help address both matters. 11. Jets — Mekhi Becton, OT, Louisville: When Becton is described as a big mover, it's not just due to a 6-7, 369-pound build that would make him one of the NFL's heaviest players. He now has a chance to be taken among the class' top pass protectors and sizes up as an attractive option for the Jets, whose primary concern this offseason should be safeguarding Sam Darnold. 12. Raiders — Jerry Jeudy, WR, Alabama: It would be fitting for the Las Vegas-hosted draft to provide a little bit of hometown luck in this fashion, as the Raiders are starved for a true No. 1 receiver. Even in what could be a historic group at the position, Jeudy stands out as the most complete package of any pass catcher. 13. Colts — CeeDee Lamb, WR, Oklahoma: GM Chris Ballard's draft plans should become somewhat clearer once he's indicated how Indianapolis will utilize more than $86 million in available cap space. Given the Colts' lackluster receiving corps beyond T.Y. Hilton and the underwhelming free agent options, Lamb is a fitting option to bring the "explosive elements" Ballard said he's hunting for. SportsPulse: USA TODAY Sports' Lorenzo Reyes provides his opinion on the five most impactful players on the NFL free agency market and why they all deserve big pay days. USA TODAY 14. Buccaneers — Tristan Wirfs, OT, Iowa: Another situation worth revisiting after free agency's first wave, as Tampa Bay's outlook could shift significantly with a change at quarterback or the loss of pass rusher Shaquil Barrett. For now, though, Wirfs has a beguiling set of physical tools that could allow him to become a high-end starter with more polish. 15. Broncos — Henry Ruggs III, WR, Alabama: No other player will be more closely monitored during the 40-yard dash at the combine than Ruggs, who could challenge John Ross' record of 4.22 seconds after teammates said he was timed at 4.25 last year. Regardless of his mark, the speedster would unlock the big-play potential offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur seeks from his passing attack. 16. Falcons — K'Lavon Chaisson, OLB/DE, LSU: After its investment in Vic Beasley went bust, Atlanta might be reticent to use another top pick on a pass rusher so reliant on his speed. But next to Young, Chaisson might have the highest upside of any player at his position. 17. Cowboys — Trevon Diggs, CB, Alabama: Byron Jones is poised to command a sum the Cowboys might find too immense to match should he reach free agency, an increasingly likely outcome as Dallas remains in a stalemate with Dak Prescott and Amari Cooper. A fitting replacement might await in Diggs, another big corner with head-turning athleticism. 18. Dolphins (from Steelers) — Josh Jones, OT, Houston: Though he might lack the name recognition of the four offensive tackles projected to go earlier in the first round, Jones is an ascendant talent who could be a building block for a ramshackle Dolphins line. 19. Raiders (from Bears) — Kenneth Murray, LB, Oklahoma: There's a black hole in the middle of the Raiders' defense for coach Jon Gruden and GM Mike Mayock to address before settling in Las Vegas. Murray offers enticing speed and playmaking ability, though his recognition skills are lagging. 20. Jaguars (from Rams) — C.J. Henderson, CB, Florida: The next phase in Jacksonville's defensive rebirth should entail investing in a top corner, particularly if A.J. Bouye is cut loose. 21. Eagles — Tee Higgins, WR, Clemson: Philadelphia's stagnant deep passing game should be reinvigorated by the addition of a 6-4, 215-pound target who averaged 19.8 yards per catch last year. 22. Bills — Laviska Shenault Jr., WR, Colorado: Dynamic and powerful after the catch, Shenault checks off a lot of boxes for Josh Allen and Buffalo's offense. 23. Patriots — A.J. Epenesa, DE, Iowa: Another value-based win for Bill Belichick, who would bolster his front seven with a massive edge defender from a Hawkeye program for which the coach has expressed his admiration. 24. Saints — Brandon Aiyuk, WR, Arizona State: The former Sun Devil is a speed demon, and his big-play prowess would be tantalizing for New Orleans' offense. 25. Vikings — Kristian Fulton, CB, LSU: Minnesota's salary cap crunch could force some sacrifices in the secondary, necessitating some cheaper reinforcements, such as the physical Fulton. 26. Dolphins (from Texans) — Zack Baun, LB, Wisconsin: Despite lacking the build and length many teams seek from premier pass rushers, Baun nevertheless is explosive off the edge and displays a relentless edge that would win over coach Brian Flores. 27. Seahawks — Grant Delpit, S, LSU: He's not the next Earl Thomas — who is? — but Delpit would be a tantalizing option for coach Pete Caroll and GM John Schneider if he's still on the board here. 28. Ravens — Terrell Lewis, OLB/DE, Alabama: This selection seems bound for a front seven that lacks any first-round players, and Lewis is brimming with potential as a lengthy pass rusher. 29. Titans — Cameron Dantzler, CB, Mississippi State: The AFC title game should serve as a reminder that it's never a bad idea to load up on talented corners, especially with Logan Ryan set to hit the market. 30. Packers — Patrick Queen, LB, LSU: Blake Martinez proved to be an insufficient presence in the middle, and a linebacker with Queen's range would address one of Green Bay's most significant shortcomings. 31. 49ers — Xavier McKinney, S, Alabama: If San Francisco is unable to retain Jimmie Ward with its limited cap space, McKinney could slide in as a replacement capable of handling a wide range of coverage assignments. 32. Chiefs — Bryce Hall, CB, Virginia: Adding an imposing corner such as Hall would help Kansas City continue its defensive development. Follow Michael Middlehurst-Schwartz on Twitter @MikeMSchwartz.
