House pushes off impeachment of Homeland Secretary Mayorkas for handling of southern border

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 20:15:31 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) — The House voted Monday to push off a Republican effort to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, a process usually reserved for grave misconduct in office that is instead being wielded in an extraordinary effort to remove the Cabinet secretary for his handling of the southern border.Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, a hard-right Republican from Georgia, forced a vote on impeaching Mayorkas to the floor through a rule that allows any single member to force a snap vote on resolutions, including constitutional matters such as impeachment. A handful of Republicans joined with Democrats to vote 209-201 to send her resolution to committees for possible consideration, like any other bill. They are under no obligation to do anything.But the vote and its GOP support showed a growing appetite to reach to Congress’ most grave weapons and redefine what the Constitution means by impeachable “high crimes and misdemeanors.” Impeaching a Cabinet official for their poli...

Seahawks find their way to 6-3 despite flaws and inconsistency

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 20:15:31 GMT

RENTON, Wash. (AP) — The season is far enough along to just accept this is the way it’s going to be for the Seattle Seahawks. They are the sort of team that will elicit boos walking off the field at halftime and leave those same fans cheering as they leave the field two quarters later.Sometimes the offense is going to be unsightly and looking lost. Sometimes the defense is going to be unable to make stops.But for all their faults, the Seahawks are 6-3 and tied for the NFC West lead. And they’re about to embark on a five-week stretch that’ll test just how well they can mask their shortcomings.“We just got to be better. We won at the end of the day, but we got to be better still,” defensive end Dre’Mont Jones said after Sunday’s 29-26 win over Washington. “It’s a lot to clean up and improve on from top to bottom, inside and out, we got to fix that.”Seattle rebounded from the second-worst loss of Pete Carroll’s tenure, but it wasn’t a straightforward victory over the Commanders.
