Pence's speech was the first look at how the Trump administration plans to recalibrate its strategy to support Guaido. While U.S. officials have previously dangled what they called "off ramps" for those hit with sanctions who abandon Maduro, this is the first time the Trump administration has made good on its pledge.

| ‘The View’ Confronts Crenshaw for Defending Trump on Charlottesville: ‘Why Do You Apologize for Him?!’ Posted: 06 May 2019 10:54 AM PDT  Appearing on The View on Monday, Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) was challenged by hosts Joy Behar and Sunny Hostin when he claimed that President Trump never referred to white nationalists or neo-Nazis as "very fine people" during his response to the deadly 2017 Charlottesville rally.Towards the end of his multi-segment Monday morning interview, the Texas Republican was asked about his vocal criticism of Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN). Crenshaw, in case you forgot, helped spark conservative outrage against Omar last month, resulting in increased death threats against her when he attacked her for out-of-context remarks about 9/11.Meghan McCain asked Crenshaw why he felt Democrats were "reluctant to call [Omar] out," prompting the GOP congressman to reply that it was because "we're playing a team sport today.""We just had a long discussion about how Republicans feel about Trump," Crenshaw added. "I think you're seeing the same issues play out on the Democrat side with somebody on their own team and they're not sure how to handle it even though might, behind closed doors, disagree with what she's saying."Co-host Joy Behar then jumped in, noting that Omar is a new congresswoman before contrasting conservatives' reaction to her with the president's Charlottesville response."On the right, what we have is the President of the United States in Charlottesville saying there are good people on both sides and people are yelling 'Jews will not replace us.' There are not good people on both sides," she exclaimed.Crenshaw interrupted, claiming that "in the same sentence" the president said that he was "definitely not referring to white nationalists." (This, however, is not entirely true, as the president insisted there were "very fine people" on the side of a rally organized entirely by white supremacists and neo-Nazis.) "Why do you apologize for him?!" Behar shot back, causing Crenshaw to double down on his defense, telling her she needed to "read what he actually said."Hostin, meanwhile, claimed that Trump didn't admonish white supremacists in the same sentence but rather in a fumbling later statement. As they continued to argue about whether or not Trump condemned white nationalists, McCain rallied to Crenshaw's defense, saying she didn't "think it matters" because "bigotry and any kind of statements like these should be called out."As for Crenshaw's assertion that Trump said he wasn't referring to white nationalists during his Aug. 15, 2017 remarks, this really comes down to hair-splitting and not looking at the comments in a larger context."Excuse me, they didn't put themselves down as neo-Nazis, and you had some very bad people in that group," Trump said at the time. "But you also had people that were very fine people on both sides."Read more at The Daily Beast.Got a tip? Send it to The Daily Beast here

| Families of Lion Air crash victims criticise Boeing over alert issue Posted: 06 May 2019 02:18 AM PDT  Families of victims in the Indonesia Lion Air crash hit out at Boeing Monday over its admission that engineers had identified a safety system glitch well before the fatal accident, in the latest knock to the plane maker's reputation. Boeing said Sunday engineers had found the safety alert issue on its 737 MAX aircraft in 2017, a year before the deadly crash in Indonesia that killed 189 people. According to Boeing, a supposedly standard piece of equipment that tells pilot about disagreements between angle of attack (AOA) indicators -- which measure the plane's angle vis-a-vis oncoming air to warn of impending stalls -- did not activate unless an additional optional indicator was purchased by airlines.

| Trump obstruction: More than 500 former prosecutors say president should face 'multiple felony charges' Posted: 07 May 2019 02:41 AM PDT  More than 560 former federal prosecutors have signed a letter saying Donald Trump should be charged with obstruction of justice.The statement claims there is "overwhelming" evidence of corrupt intent to block the investigation by Special Counsel Robert Mueller into Russian interference in the 2016 election."Each of us believes that the conduct of President Trump described in Special Counsel Robert Mueller's report would, in the case of any other person not covered by the Office of Legal Counsel policy against indicting a sitting President, result in multiple felony charges for obstruction of justice," the statement reads.US senator Richard Blumenthal said he was "proud" to add his name to the list of signatures, which includes officials who worked for both Democratic and Republican administrations stretching back to Dwight Eisenhower.He was joined by Bill Weld, a former US attorney who is standing against Mr Trump for the Republican presidential nomination, and Donald Ayer, a former deputy attorney general under George HW Bush. Mr Weld said the evidence "goes well beyond what is required to support criminal charges of obstruction of justice."The letter was drawn up in response to Attorney General William Barr's conclusion that the evidence was insufficient for a charge of obstruction of justice.It argues there is evidence that Mr Trump attempted to fire Mr Mueller, limit the scope of the investigation and prevent witnesses from cooperating with investigators."To look at these facts and say that a prosecutor could not probably sustain a conviction for obstruction of justice – the standard set out in Principles of Federal Prosecution – runs counter to logic and our experience," the letter says.The statement had gathered around 370 signatures by Monday afternoon and by Tuesday morning the total stood at 566, according to the list updated by the non-profit Protect Democracy project.It came as members of the House Judiciary Committee announced plans to vote on Wednesday on whether to hold Mr Barr in contempt of Congress for failing to meet a deadline to provide a copy of the full, unredacted report and its underlying evidence.

| Watch a Tesla Model 3 quickly swerve on its own to avoid an accident at the last second Posted: 06 May 2019 04:06 PM PDT  It's a shame that much of the narrative surrounding Tesla these days centers on the company's stock price, Elon Musk's shenanigans on Twitter, or other trivial details that don't truly capture some of the impressive automotive innovations Tesla has rolled out at a slow and steady pace over the years.Even today, a talking head on CNBC proclaimed that the 'Tesla dream' had come to an end and that the reality is that Tesla simply is unable to execute as promised. But if we move past the talking points, there's a lot of good news lurking beneath the surface. As a prime example, the number of Tesla vehicles on the road has exploded in recent years. To this point, Tesla deliveries from Q1 of 2018 to Q1 of 2019 jumped by an astounding 110%. In turn, we've seen a discernible uptick in videos depicting Tesla vehicles on Autopilot avoiding potentially tragic collisions.The latest example was posted to Reddit earlier today and depicts a Model 3 swerving out of harm's way after being rear-ended and almost careening into a car ahead:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QVdTAwU07Jc"This morning I was rear ended coming to a stop by a lady driving about 40-50 mph," the uploader of the video notes. "The swerve in the video is not me. I don't really remember in the moment but I think it was the Tesla that avoided the front collision. Saved me from bigger damage."Now is it possible that the driver instinctively swerved to the left to avoid the car ahead and simply doesn't remember? Of course. That said, there are rumblings on the Reddit thread that Tesla will take a look at the logs and see exactly what happened.Interestingly enough, this is the second Autopilot video we've seen make the rounds in just the last two weeks:https://twitter.com/RaghuKonka/status/1120209206995406848

The father of two children in their twenties, Cohen had hoped until the last moment that his sentence would be reduced, offering information to investigators that could compromise Trump and his family, including over the Russia investigation.

| Video shows Apple’s new iPhone 11 design with one change we’re not so sure we like Posted: 06 May 2019 05:17 AM PDT  Apple isn't always first when it comes to introducing new smartphone features. The company is known for taking its time and getting things right rather than trying to be first to market. Just ask Samsung about the travesty that is the Galaxy Fold and you'll understand why Apple is more than happy to do things well instead of just doing them quickly. When it comes to smartphone design, however, Apple has always been a trendsetter.Most people likely don't even remember what smartphones used to look like before the first iPhone debuted in 2007. Fast-forward a decade, and rival smartphone makers still scramble to copy Apple's every move. 2018 was indeed a rough year for smartphone fans since just about every handset out there was nothing but a boring iPhone X copycat, but 2019 is going in a completely different direction. In fact, something quite interesting is happening this year: For the first time since companies like Samsung and others popularized the phablet form factor, Android companies are actually moving away from copying Apple and starting to come up with their own novel designs.The upcoming iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Max, and iPhone 11R (if that's what Apple ends up calling it) are shaping up to be nearly identical to their predecessors in terms of design. There will some refinements here and there, and we know that it's going to put Android phones to shame when it comes to fit and finish. But overall, the iPhone 11 design we've seen leak time and time again is anything but exciting and new. Now, a new video has taken the information from all the leaks we've seen over the past few weeks and used it to show us what Apple's next-generation flagship iPhone models will look like.We still have more than four months to go before Apple announces its new iPhone 11 series smartphones, but the leaks have really picked up over the past month or so. Long story short, we now likely know just about everything there is to know about Apple's iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Max design.The image above shows what will likely end up being the iPhone 11's only distinguishing feature as far as hardware design goes. The front of the iPhone 11 will look exactly like the front of the iPhone XS and the front of the iPhone X -- an all-screen design interrupted by a large notch at the top of the screen. Around back, however, both the iPhone 11 and the iPhone 11 Max are expected to have a large square camera array consisting of three camera lenses and an LED flash. Only, it won't actually end up looking like it does in the render above, because we recently learned that Apple has a pretty big change planned for the rear camera on its iPhone 11 series phones.In the iPhone 11 Max render above, the phone itself is gold but the area around the cameras is black. Like other smartphone makers out there, this is the design Apple has always used on its iPhones. This year, however, word from the world's most accurate Apple insider suggests that Apple has decided to color-match the iPhone 11's rear camera so that it blends in with the rest of the back of the phone. Honestly, we're not so sure how we feel about the change.It looks pretty good in the render above, but this render uses some shading on the sapphire crystal to darken the glass. As a result, there's still some contrast between the back of the phone and the camera array. The actual iPhone 11 models Apple releases later this year obviously won't have any shading on the sapphire crystal, and now a new video created by graphic designer Gunho Lee shows us what Apple's next-generation iPhones will look like with color-matched cameras.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FxsWPUfmn74We'll obviously have to wait to pass a final judgement until we see the real iPhone 11 series phones Apple unveils this coming September. For the time being, however, we're not so sure we like this change.

| US farmers, industry urge Trump to resolve China trade dispute quickly Posted: 07 May 2019 12:41 PM PDT  US soy farmers and industry on Tuesday urged President Donald Trump to pull back from his tariff threat and quickly bring an end to the trade dispute with China. Trump has vowed to more than double the tariffs on $200 billion in Chinese goods starting Friday, after US negotiators accused Beijing of reneging on commitments made during months of talks that aim to reduce the US trade deficit, clamp down on theft of US technology and reduce China's massive subsidies. American soy farmers have found themselves in the crosshairs of Chinese retaliation, and prolonging the battle will be even more damaging, Davie Stephens president of the American Soybean Association (ASA), said in a statement.

| This U.S. Ally Could Buy Russia's Su-57 Stealth Fighter and S-500 Air Defense System Posted: 06 May 2019 12:40 AM PDT  Turkey's plans to purchase the Russian S-400 missile system marked a major shift in Ankara's defense orientation, eliciting a sharp response from Washington. Nonetheless, the S-400 deal barely scratches the surface of the blooming Turkey-Russia defense relationship and the threat that it poses to NATO's military coherence.The Kremlin and Rosoboronexport-- Russia's state arms exporting agency—are seeking to capitalize on the political goodwill from the S-400 sale with several other high-profile contracts, including Russian jet fighters and next-generation missile defense system. When the US defense department suspended F-35 transfers to Ankara "pending an unequivocal Turkish decision to forego delivery of the S-400" early last month, Russian and western defense commentators speculated that Russia would pounce with a snap Su-35 offer. It now appears, however, that Moscow has its sights set on a bigger deal. In an interview given to Turkish state media, Rostec chief Sergei Chemezov suggested that Moscow is open to inking a Su-57 contract: "These fifth-generation Russian fighter jets [the Su-57] have outstanding qualities, and show promise for export."

U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo made an unannounced visit to Iran's neighbor Iraq on Tuesday and met with the Iraqi prime minister after telling reporters Washington was concerned about Iraqi sovereignty because of increasing Iranian activity.
