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: Investigation into Gifts to Supreme Court Justices: Leo Refuses Senate Subpoena
- As part of a months-long inquiry into undisclosed gifts to Supreme Court justices, the Senate Judiciary Committee sent a subpoena to conservative judicial activist Leonard Leo on Thursday, which he promptly rejected as “politically motivated.”
- Following reports that Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel A. Alito Jr. accepted free luxury travel and gifts from Crow, Leo, and conservative donor Robin Arkley II without disclosure, the committee voted to authorize subpoenas for Leo and Texas billionaire Harlan Crow along party lines.
- Democrats on the committee initiated an investigation into the justices' relationships with private benefactors after ProPublica's April report last year revealed Thomas' failure to disclose free luxury vacations and private jet travel from Crow over many years, and Leo's arrangement of a luxury fishing trip for Alito in 2008.
- With Leo's rejection, Democrats would need to hold a Senate vote to seek court enforcement of the subpoena - a nearly impossible task in a narrowly divided chamber requiring 60 votes to break a filibuster.

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.
