Quick Glance: Senate's Decision on Impeachment Charges Against Mayorkas
- The Senate rejected the impeachment charges against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, halting the House Republicans' effort to impeach the Cabinet secretary over his management of the US-Mexico border.
- With Democrats contending that the articles were unconstitutional, senators voted to dismiss both impeachment charges and conclude the trial.
- Senate Republicans had called for a full impeachment trial after the House narrowly voted in February to impeach Mayorkas for his border actions.
- Republicans argued that President Joe Biden was ineffective at the border, while Democrats suggested accepting a bipartisan Senate compromise instead of impeaching Mayorkas to reduce illegal immigrants.

SP Council of States Jositsch: Switzerland must defend itself against climate ruling

Quick Glance: SP Councilor Jositsch: Switzerland must resist climate ruling
- SP Councilor Jositsch warns of the consequences of the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) climate ruling. He considers the ruling dangerous and criticizes the court's interference in political decisions.
- Jositsch emphasizes that the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) cannot be changed as it requires unanimity among all member states. He believes that the task of legal development lies with politics and warns against holding a single country responsible for global issues.
- He criticizes the court for overriding the popular vote on CO2 legislation in Switzerland and stresses the importance of the court's acceptance. Jositsch warns of potential impacts of the ruling on the mood in future negotiations with the EU.
- Jositsch sees the ruling as a dangerous precedent and calls for limiting the court's powers to the core content of human rights. He opposes Switzerland's withdrawal from the ECHR and instead advocates for a clear position within the Council of Europe.
