Noncitizen voting isn't an issue in federal elections, regardless of conspiracy theories. Here's why

Quick Glance: Trump's Favorite Theme: Dishonest 'Noncitizen Voting'

House Speaker Mike Johnson's 'election security' event at Mar-a-Lago will focus on legislation targeting noncitizen voting.

Despite existing bans and rare noncitizen votes, the debate aims to boost Trump's presidential candidacy.

Laws from 1996 prohibit noncitizen voting in federal and state elections, yet some municipalities in some states allow it.

Trump and allies falsely claim noncitizens vote in elections, while data shows minimal incidents. The debate serves as a political maneuver and distracts from actual election issues.

ft.com/content/85a4e5b9-c536-4bfb-8dee-32bbed60311e

Quick Glance: US to Reinstate Sanctions on Venezuela’s Oil and Gas Sector

The United States will reimpose sanctions on Venezuela’s oil and gas sector due to the Maduro government's failure to allow 'an inclusive and competitive election' to take place.

The US government decided not to renew the temporary authorization (General License 44) that allowed transactions with Venezuela's national oil and gas sector without fear of sanctions, citing the Maduro government's failure to uphold key areas of the 'Barbados Agreement.'

While the impact of revoking the authorization could not be quantified, another authorization from 2022 allowing the oil company Chevron to resume limited resource extraction operations in Venezuela will remain in place.

Despite reinstating sanctions, a US official emphasized that this should not be seen as a final decision on Venezuela's electoral capabilities, and efforts to support a better future for the country will continue.

Kennedy family to endorse Biden in show of force against RFK Jr.: Biden advisers are worried RFK Jr. could swing the election.

Quick Glance: Biden Receives Kennedy Family Endorsements in Philadelphia

President Joe Biden received endorsements from at least 15 members of the Kennedy political family during a campaign stop in Philadelphia to undermine Donald Trump and marginalize the candidacy of independent Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

Kerry Kennedy, daughter of former Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy, niece of former President John F. Kennedy, and sister of the current presidential candidate, delivered the endorsements in Philadelphia, calling Biden her hero.

The decision to highlight the Kennedy family's support more than six months from Election Day indicates how seriously Biden's team is taking a long shot candidate using his last name's lingering Democratic magic.

Biden used the event to keep up the pressure on Trump, emphasizing the importance of the election not for himself, but to keep Trump out, stating the race was significant due to the potential consequences if they lose this election. The Kennedy family endorsements for Biden were hardly a surprise, as prominent members of the Democratic family did not politically align with Kennedy Jr.

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.

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: Trump Faces Landmark Trial Over Hush Money Case

Donald Trump will go down in history as the first former president to stand trial in Manhattan on criminal charges. The historic case revolves around a potential sex scandal cover-up just days before the 2016 elections.

The prosecution alleges that Trump falsified business records to hide hush money payments aimed at influencing the election outcome. Trump maintains his innocence and refutes any involvement with Stormy Daniels.

The trial will feature key witnesses from Trump's inner circle testifying against him, including Michael Cohen and David Pecker. It will delve into the Oval Office, where Trump allegedly approved the cover-up.

Prosecutors must prove that Trump falsified business records with intent to commit or conceal another crime. Trump's defense is likely to focus on the legality of the hush money payments and attempt to distance him from the accounting handled by his employees.

The survey also indicates that Trump's younger supporters are much more enthusiastic about the former president than their peers who support Biden, and that Biden's approval rating among young adults is only at 31 percent.

Google terminated 28 employees on Thursday who had occupied its offices to protest against contracts with the Israeli government, as confirmed by a Google spokesperson.

The protesters were arrested and after refusing to leave the office of Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian in Sunnyvale or the workspace in New York City for nearly 10 hours, they were transferred to administrative positions to urge Google to terminate the Project Nimbus contract and cease business with the Israeli government.

No Tech For Apartheid, a project by Jewish Voice for Peace and Linda Sarsour’s MPower Change, described the terminations as an "indiscriminate act of mass retaliation."

The office occupations at Google were accompanied by demonstrations on-site and in Seattle, aiming to compel Google to withdraw from the project to establish cloud-based data centers and transition a significant portion of the Israeli government's IT infrastructure to cloud-based servers.

House Speaker Mike Johnson is heavily advocating for support for Israel and Ukraine while trying to push a national security package through the House.

Johnson faces the challenge of juggling the Republican Party's divided support for Kyiv's defense while feeling the pressure to pass a comprehensive aid package for U.S. allies.

In his quest to find ways to promote funding for Ukraine, Johnson is engaging in discussions with the White House and former president Donald Trump. The divisive dynamic within the party and the urgency of the situation in Ukraine present a significant challenge for Johnson.

Johnson must craft a package that includes some policy wins for Republicans while also gaining Democratic approval. Despite concerns from some progressive Democrats regarding support for Israel, most Democratic lawmakers have rallied behind the Senate-passed package.

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.

Quick Glance: OAN and Smartmatic Reach Settlement in Defamation Lawsuit

Voting technology company Smartmatic and the far-right network One America News announced on Tuesday that they have agreed to a confidential settlement of a defamation lawsuit stemming from the outlet's lies about the 2020 presidential elections.

The settlement followed a lawsuit filed by Smartmatic against OAN in 2021, alleging that the right-wing conspiracy network 'victimized' the company and spread lies about its role in the 2020 elections to boost viewership and revenue.

OAN previously settled a defamation suit in September with former Dominion executive Eric Coomer, revealing collaboration with individuals to propagate falsehoods about the elections.

While the Smartmatic case has concluded, OAN still faces another defamation lawsuit from Dominion regarding the dissemination of falsehoods about the 2020 elections.

Justices question obstruction charge against Jan. 6 rioter in case that could affect Trump

Quick Glance: Justices Question Obstruction Charge Against Jan. 6 Rioter

The Supreme Court is considering whether Jan. 6 rioters can be charged with obstructing an official proceeding, potentially impacting Trump's election interference case.

During Tuesday's hearing, justices expressed concerns about the Justice Department's use of the obstruction statute to prosecute those involved in the Jan. 6 Capitol attack.

A potential consequence of a ruling in favor of Fischer could affect Trump, although this outcome is not definitive. Prosecutors in Trump's case have emphasized that even if Fischer succeeds, Trump's actions would still be governed by a more restrictive interpretation of the law.

The provision was enacted in 2002 as part of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, passed after the Enron accounting scandal. Both Fischer and Trump argue that the obstruction law does not apply to their alleged conduct, meaning the charges should be dropped.
