Senate Dismisses Impeachment Charges Against Mayorkas Without a Trial: Democrats quickly swept aside the articles of impeachment accusing the homeland security ...

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.

Bob Graham, former U.S. Senator and two-term Florida Governor, has passed away at the age of 87.

Graham, a prominent critic of the Iraq war and Chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee post-9/11, was remembered by his family as a visionary leader and dedicated public servant.

Known for his political quirks like 'workdays' and meticulous diary-keeping, Graham was an early opponent of the Iraq war and maintained good relationships with colleagues from both parties.

Highly popular with Florida voters, Graham's political career spanned five decades, marked by electoral victories and significant contributions to education and environmental protection in the state.

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.

reuters.com/world/biden-unlikely-cut-irans-oil-lifeline-after-israel-attack-2024-04-16/

Quick Glance: Iran's Oil Exports Thrive Amid Rising Tensions

Iran is exporting more oil than in the past six years, providing the economy with a $35 billion annual boost, as western countries consider tightening sanctions in response to the attack on Israel.

The US and the EU are preparing new sanctions on the Islamic republic to deter conflict escalation with Israel, facing challenges due to Iran's successful circumvention of sanctions, especially with China being its primary customer.

Iran has found ways to bypass sanctions, shielded from western pressure as its main oil exports go to China. Tensions have escalated since the Hamas attack on Israel, driving oil prices up by over 15%, while US efforts to sanction individual tankers carrying Iranian oil have had minimal impact so far.

Mounting Republican pressure urges the Biden administration to take tougher action on Iran's oil sales, with criticism over perceived leniency on existing measures. Despite US strategic oil reserves being released to stabilize prices, concerns remain over the administration's stance on enforcing sanctions similar to the previous Trump administration.

Quick Glance: Xi emphasizes historical trend of reunion with Taiwan

Chinese President Xi Jinping met with former Taiwanese President Ma Ying-jeou and stated that outside influence cannot prevent the "family" reunion between Beijing and Taipei.

Xi highlighted dialogue between the two sides, emphasizing that all issues can be discussed.

Beijing sees the self-ruled island as a province that must be reunited with mainland China, not ruling out the use of force to assert its claims on Taiwan.

Tensions across the Taiwan Strait are escalating, with Xi stressing that both sides are Chinese and that all issues can be discussed without separation.

cnn.com/2024/04/18/politics/arizona-senate-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.

Taiwanese authorities have not yet estimated the cost of recovering from the massive, deadly earthquake that hit the island on Wednesday.

China offered aid, but Taiwan swiftly turned it down due to their conflict-ridden relationship.

Taiwan's quick rejection likely stems from lingering bitterness over how the 1999 earthquake was handled.

China's aid always comes with conditions, leading to Taiwan's resistance based on distrust and military threats.

US says China helping Russia in biggest defense expansion since Soviet era: China is helping Russia undertake its biggest military expansion since Soviet times ...

Quick Glance: China Supports Russia in Weapons Manufacturing with Impact on Ukraine

China is aiding Russia in significantly expanding its defense industrial base, leading to the most ambitious military manufacturing since the Soviet era. The support includes a variety of machine tools, drone and turbojet engines, as well as technologies for cruise missiles, microelectronics, and nitrocellulose used in weapons propellant. Chinese and Russian entities are also collaborating on drone production in Russia.

The assistance from China is significantly influencing Russia's ability to continue its assault on Ukraine, while Ukraine's military struggles with equipment shortages, exacerbated by Republicans blocking a vote on new American military aid. US officials attribute Russia's rapid military build-up largely to Chinese support, with China accounting for 90% of Russia's microelectronics imports in 2023.

President Biden and Secretary of State Blinken have raised concerns about China's support for Russia's defense industrial base and are trying to persuade China to cease this practice. Pressure on China continues to ensure that companies do not provide support to the Russian defense sector, which could have significant consequences.

China is assisting Russia in enhancing its satellite and space capabilities for use in Ukraine. The US is actively engaging with banks worldwide to establish compliance systems to avoid inadvertent involvement in supporting the Russian defense industrial base, which would result in sanctions. Efforts to convince China to halt this support are ongoing to prevent further bolstering of Russia's military capabilities.
