MAGA-wing Republicans and House Democrats agree on one thing: It's the far-right wing of the GOP conference that would deserve the credit for Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas's impeachment. Resolutions to impeach Mayorkas — eventually reaching five in total— were introduced in the first days after the GOP took the House, following calls that began even before the 2022 midterms. |

President Biden was projected to cruise to victory in the South Carolina Democratic primary on Saturday, handing him a decisive victory in a state on which he had bet big, according to Decision Desk HQ. His win comes after Biden backed the unprecedented move to make South Carolina the first voting state over New Hampshire, part of his effort to promote diverse voices in early Democratic primaries. |

President Biden, who sailed to an easy victory Saturday in South Carolina's Democratic primary, lauded the win as a way to make former President Trump "a loser" in November. In his celebration, Biden looked back to the 2020 election, when the Palmetto State primary became a turning point in his bid for the White House. |

A growing chorus of Democrats are warning that Israel's fierce response to Hamas's terrorist attacks is getting tougher to justify — and eroding support for Tel Aviv on Capitol Hill. The lawmakers are quick to endorse Israel's right to defend itself, particularly after the Oct. 7 Hamas attacks killed more than 1,000 people and saw hundreds more taken hostage. |

The House will vote on a "clean, standalone" Israel aid bill next week, Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) announced Saturday, a reversal for the GOP conference after it approved a package for Tel Aviv last year that also included cuts to IRS funding. The $17.6 billion Israel bill is poised to set up a showdown between the House and Senate: lawmakers in the upper chamber are preparing to vote on a national security supplemental next week that includes Israel aid and border security policy, which House GOP lawmakers have railed against. |

The White House criticized House Republicans on Saturday for unveiling a $17.6 billion bill that would provide additional aid to Israel amid its ongoing war in the Middle East, calling it a "cynical political maneuver." The administration specifically criticized the bill, which Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) said the House would vote on next week, disparaging GOP lawmakers for singling out aid for only one U.S. ally — as the Senate negotiates on the bipartisan border and aid package. |

In the past 24 hours, the U.S. military has hit more than 100 targets across Iraq, Syria and Yemen, striking Iranian-backed proxies that have ramped up their own attacks on U.S. troops in the region since October. Washington began late Friday with major airstrikes on more than 85 targets across seven locations in Iraq and Syria, a response to a drone strike in Jordan that killed three American soldiers on Sunday. |

Prosecutors this week refuted former President Trump's claims that the case related to his retention of classified documents after leaving the White House was political motivated, calling the argument "inaccurate and distorted." In a 68-page court filing, special counsel Jack Smith's team pushed back Friday against Trump's accusation that there was collusion between the Biden administration, National Archives and special counsel's office. |

OPINION | 34. That may very well become the symbolic magic number in the November presidential election. In what is shaping up to be a three-person contest between President Joe Biden, former President Donald Trump, and independent candidate Robert F.

OPINION | The upcoming impeachment vote on Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has caused a deep rift even among his critics, including some Republican members of Congress. Many view Mayorkas as an unmitigated disaster as Homeland secretary. The massive numbers of migrants crossing the border has become a growing economic and security threat to the entire nation. |
