Quick Glance: GOP Congresswoman Propagates Russian Narratives Against Ukraine Aid
  • Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene introduced amendments to the latest bill on aid to Ukraine, echoing Russian propaganda narratives about "biolabs in Ukraine" and "persecution of Christians in Ukraine."

  • Greene proposed halting funding for Ukraine's aid until free and fair elections are held, persecution of Christians stops, and all biolabs in Ukraine are closed.

  • The allegation of secret "biolabs" in Ukraine is a long-standing Russian propaganda conspiracy theory, also picked up by Chinese disinformation networks according to the EU East Stratcom Task Force.

  • House Speaker Mike Johnson announced determination to advance the foreign aid bill on April 20, despite opposition from GOP hardliners who have blocked progress for over six months.

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.

Quick Glance: Arizona Republicans foil another effort to repeal 1864 abortion ban
  • Arizona House Republicans once again thwarted an attempt on Wednesday to repeal the state's nearly complete abortion ban from 1864, leaving Democrats without a vote on their repeal bill for the second consecutive week.

  • Despite facing pressure from influential conservatives, such as former President Trump and Senate hopeful Kari Lake, urging GOP leaders to lift the ban, the Republicans blocked the repeal.

  • State House Democrats made a procedural maneuver to attempt to suspend House rules and bring the repeal bill to the floor for discussion. However, this action was rejected by the GOP majority, with only one Republican, Representative Matt Gress, crossing party lines to support bringing up the repeal bill.

  • A similar endeavor to repeal the ban was obstructed by Republicans last week. Following persistent criticism of the law by Democrats both within and outside the state throughout the week, prominent figures like Trump and Lake recognized the political risks and advocated for a change in direction within the Legislature.

  • US President Joe Biden is pushing for an increase in tariffs on Chinese steel and aluminium to strengthen union support in the swing state of Pennsylvania.

  • During a meeting with United Steelworkers union members in Pittsburgh, Biden calls on trade representative Katherine Tai to raise the tariffs from the current average of 7.5 percent.

Quick Glance: Twelve Jurors Seated in Trump's Hush Money Trial
  • A jury of 12 individuals was empaneled on Thursday in the landmark hush money trial of former President Donald Trump, bringing the proceedings closer to opening arguments and the commencement of weeks filled with compelling testimonies.

  • The upcoming trial is anticipated to present unfavorable testimonies regarding Trump's personal life pre-presidency, including accusations of manipulating business records to suppress narratives in the final days of the 2016 election surrounding his intimate relationships.

  • Central to the trial is a payment of $130,000 made by Cohen just before the 2016 election to adult film actress Stormy Daniels, aimed at preventing her allegations of a sexual encounter with Trump from being publicized in the campaign's final stretch.

  • The selection of the jury holds paramount significance in any criminal proceeding, particularly so when the accused is a former president and the presumed Republican candidate. Potential jurors have undergone extensive scrutiny concerning their online presence, personal backgrounds, and political stances as legal representatives and the judge meticulously scrutinize for partialities that could compromise their impartiality.
