Quick Glance: House Refers Mayorkas Impeachment to Senate
- House Republicans have sent two articles of impeachment against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas to the Senate, initiating a trial where GOP lawmakers aim to criticize President Joe Biden's immigration policy.
- Mayorkas, who assumed leadership at the start of the Biden administration, is the first Cabinet secretary to be impeached in nearly 150 years.
- The Democratic-controlled Senate is expected to swiftly dismiss the charges without a trial or conduct a brief trial without a conviction.
- House Republicans targeted Mayorkas to attack Biden's handling of the southern border, but lack the votes and concrete evidence to impeach Biden due to their slim majority.

Quick Glance: New York inmates' legal action over solar phenomenon
- Prisoners in a New York correctional facility have taken legal action as the state's Department of Corrections announced restrictions that would hinder their observation of the upcoming total solar eclipse next week.
- The six individuals incarcerated at Woodbourne Correctional Facility are asserting that preventing them from witnessing this rare astronomical occurrence would infringe upon their religious rights as outlined in the constitution.
- The impending solar eclipse is scheduled for Monday afternoon and was last visible in the United States back in 2017. It will not be observable in the country again until 2044.
- A representative from the Department of Corrections informed ABC News that they refrain from commenting on ongoing legal matters but emphasized that the lockdown's purpose is to prioritize the "safety" of both the inmates and prison staff.

Quick Glance: Crystal Mason: Cleared of Voting Irregularity in Texas
- A Texas appeals court has overturned a five-year prison sentence for Crystal Mason, a Texas woman convicted for attempting to cast a provisional ballot in the 2016 presidential election that was rejected.
- Despite being acquitted, the case has taken a significant toll on Mason and her family. After Mason was arrested in 2017, she lost her job at a bank and spent several months in federal prison.
- Mason's case garnered national attention and was viewed as an instance of excessive punishment for a voting error. It was perceived as an attempt to intimidate black voters without transparency.
- Although Mason was not heavily involved in politics before her case, she has since become much more dedicated to raising awareness about voting rights. In 2022, she launched a rally for Beto O'Rourke.
