What A Day - An Anticlimactic End to Mayorkas Impeachment

On Wednesday, the Senate moved to dismiss two articles of impeachment against Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas over his handling of the border. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said Democrats needed “to set a precedent that impeachment should never be used to settle policy disagreements.” Congressional reporter Matt Laslo breaks down the vibes on Capitol Hill.

And in headlines: Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi warned Israel that even the “tiniest invasion” on their part would provoke a “massive” response, President Joe Biden may not appear on Ohio’s ballot this November, and Arizona Republicans defeated another effort to repeal the state’s near-total abortion ban.Show Notes:

The Daily Signal - What’s Riding on a Jan. 6 Capitol Riot Case Before Supreme Court? Legal Expert Explains

The Supreme Court will determine the fate of a major Jan. 6 Capitol riot-related case. The ruling could affect hundreds of people who were in the Capitol that day in 2021, and at the center of the case is the applicability of a federal statute. 


The Justice Department has been using a statute enacted in the early 2000s to prosecute those in the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. The statute makes it a crime to “obstruct or impede or influence an official proceeding or attempt to do so,” according to Seth Lucas, a senior research associate with the Edwin Meese III Center for Legal and Judicial Studies at The Heritage Foundation. (The Daily Signal is the news outlet of The Heritage Foundation.)


During oral arguments Tuesday, the justices appeared skeptical that the statute could be applied and used in the Jan. 6 cases the way it has been.


“It was clear that enough justices were skeptical of the government's expansive reading of Section 1512(c) [of the statute in question] to make a reasonable guess that they're probably going to read the statute a little more narrowly,” Lucas said. 


Lucas joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to explain the details of the case and what the ruling will mean for those men and women who are facing charges for their actions on Jan. 6.

✅ Vote for TBOY to win “Best Business Podcast” at the Webby Awards: https://vote.webbyawards.com/PublicVoting#/2024/podcasts/shows/business


June 13th will be Elon Musk’s most awkward day ever — Tesla Shareholders are voting “yes” or “no” on whether Elon should get a $56 Billion paycheck.

The wildest new product in the grocery store is “Designer Fruit” — Turns out, sticking a logo on an Apple makes it worth more, because adjectives are more valuable than nouns.

And President Biden just announced he’s tripling tariffs on Chinese steel — That means America and China just entered what we call Trade War II.

Plus, the hot new vacation trend is… living forever — Hotels are trading saunas for Vitamin-B-oxygen-enriched IV infusions, because “life extension” is all the rage.

What Next | Daily News and Analysis - Is It Too Late to Escape “Forever Chemicals”?

Man-made per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, known as PFAS, are found in all sorts of industrial and consumer products, including carpets, rain jackets, and makeup. They’re also in our drinking water—and in our blood.


The EPA has recently announced plans to regulate the amount of certain PFAS in our water supply. But will these rules do enough to control chemicals for which there is no safe level of exposure?


Guest: Esmé E. Deprez, independent investigative journalist.

NPR's Book of the Day - ‘The Anxious Generation’ analyzes the harmful effects of growing up online

While screens have become a totally normalized part of kids' development today, social psychologist Jonathan Haidt argues that the negative effects might outweigh the benefits. His new book, The Anxious Generation, details the correlation between an increasingly online social life and rising mental health concerns amongst young people. In today's episode, NPR's Steve Inskeep asks Haidt about how boys and girls experience socialization on the Internet, and how some of these behaviors might be curbed to get kids playing offline.
