apnews.com/article/mayorkas-senate-impeachment-trial-democrats-29aa775c0e866f4160f320583f261a72

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.

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

axios.com/2024/04/18/kennedy-family-biden-endorsement-rfk-jr

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.

Stephen A. Smith slams Trump hush money trial: ‘I want him to lose the right way’

thehill.com/regulation/court-battles/4604091-stephen-a-smith-slams-trump-hush-money-trial-i-want-him-to-lose-the-right-way/

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.

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: China’s ‘Red Circle’ Law Firms Expanding Internationally

China’s top 'red circle' law firms are aggressively expanding their international presence and working at lower fees than western competitors.

Several Chinese firms have opened offices in Asia and the US since early 2023, while international rivals retreat from the Chinese market.

This expansion signals Chinese firms' aspiration to capture international clients and move into China-friendly nations.

Although Chinese firms still lag behind western rivals, China's growing global presence is opening doors to international markets and fostering potential for future growth.

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.
