apnews.com/article/house-ukraine-speaker-johnson-mtg-68a810a998381dfd9f4c3c4e452b9f51
Quick Glance: Ukraine, Israel Aid Bill Advances in House
- The House has advanced a foreign aid package of $95 billion for Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan, and humanitarian support with rare bipartisan support.
- Speaker Mike Johnson implemented a strategy to secure support for wartime funding, especially for Ukraine in its battle against Russia.
- President Joe Biden and even Republican presumptive presidential nominee Donald Trump have endorsed the speaker's efforts.
- To pass each bill, complex bipartisan coalitions need to be formed by Johnson due to his slim Republican majority in the House, relying on Democratic support.

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: 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: Historic Vote at Volkswagen Plant in Tennessee
- This week, 4,300 hourly workers at a Volkswagen plant in Chattanooga, Tennessee, are voting on whether to join the United Auto Workers union.
- The significance of this vote lies in the potential shift in union dynamics in the South, with the UAW launching a strong campaign to penetrate non-union auto factories in the region.
- The outcome of this vote could either significantly strengthen or hinder the union, with the UAW needing a majority of yes votes to win.
- Southern politicians warn of job losses if unionization occurs in the region, while Volkswagen emphasizes respecting employees' right to choose and its substantial investments in the plant.

Democrats clear path to bring proposed repeal of Arizona’s near-total abortion ban to a vote
apnews.com/article/arizona-abortion-1864-ban-repeal-lawmakers-fa237b1115703a0143a369c6c3683135
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.
