How every senator voted on the rejection of Mayorkas impeachment charges
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.

Arizona Republicans again block attempt to repeal 1864 abortion ban
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.

Donald Trump Loses Third Attempt to Delay Hush Money Trial
Quick Glance: Path to Victory: Trump's NY Hush Money Trial
  • The first criminal trial of any former president began with extortion, Trump should aim for an acquittal.

  • Charges do not concern misconduct in settling hush money with Daniels, but entering payments to conceal another crime.

  • The burden of proof for criminal intent is high, requiring proof for two layers of specific intent to convict Trump.

  • A legal maneuver could allow Trump to dismiss his defense team and recruit a new team to potentially secure his case.

Apple denies violating U.S. court order in Epic Games lawsuit
Quick Glance: Apple Denies Accusations of Violating Court Order by Epic Games
  • Apple is accusing Epic Games of trying to 'micromanage' its business.

  • In a recent court filing, Apple asked a judge to reject Epic’s request to hold the company in contempt for what it says are violations of a 2021 injunction relating to Apple's App Store practices.

  • Apple says Epic’s injunction request is an attempt by the company to 'micromanage Apple’s business operations in a way that would increase Epic’s profitability,' Reuters reports.

  • Apple claims Epic is attempting to make its 'tools and technologies available to developers for free.' It also says 'Apple’s development and implementation of its framework for compliance with the injunction was undertaken in good faith.'
