"Lawmakers Split on Condemning Iran's Attack as Israel Faces Drone and Missile Threat"

Progressive House Democrats are urging their colleagues to vote against a $26 billion aid package for Israel, aiming to send a message to President Biden about their discontent over his support for Israel's actions in Gaza. They want to see limits on offensive weapons to prevent civilian casualties and view the upcoming vote as a defining moment akin to past decisions on military action. While the bill is expected to pass, the significant Democratic opposition would signal a departure from the traditional bipartisan support for Israel and highlight divisions within the party over the conflict in Gaza.

"Republican Impeachment Efforts Against Mayorkas Fizzle, Burnout Culture Linked to Late Shifts"

Republican efforts to impeach President Biden and his Cabinet members, including Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, have hit a roadblock as the Senate swiftly dismissed the articles of impeachment against Mayorkas. Despite some interest in pursuing Biden's impeachment, many congressional Republicans are ready to move on from impeachment efforts. House conservatives have floated names of other Biden officials for possible impeachment, but the Senate's quick dismissal has dampened enthusiasm for impeachment in the House. Some senators believe that impeachment is closed off as an option for the rest of the year, while others are content to let the issues play out at the ballot box.
