A new bill, HR-35, has been introduced to establish a federal offense for intentionally fleeing a pursuing U.S. Border Patrol agent or an officer assisting them while driving within 100 miles of the border.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that a conviction or admission of such conduct can render a noncitizen inadmissible, deportable, and ineligible for immigration relief, including asylum.

Trump Administration Seeks to Weaken Historic Preservation Rules, Raising Concerns Nationwide

Trump Administration Seeks to Weaken Historic Preservation Rules, Raising Concerns Nationwide

The Trump administration is proposing changes to the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, specifically targeting Section 106, which mandates federal agencies to assess the impact of construction projects on historic sites. The proposed changes aim to reduce federal oversight, potentially clearing the way for President Trump's projects in Washington, D.C., and affecting historic sites across the U.S. Critics argue that this move could endanger numerous culturally significant locations. The Advisory Council on Historic Preservation, largely composed of Trump appointees, is pushing for these revisions, which include redefining what qualifies as historic, making public comments optional, and removing the requirement to consult with Native American tribes. The changes are seen as a way to expedite federal projects but have sparked significant opposition from preservation groups and legal experts.

Senator Warnock Calls for Investigation into Gerrymandering Impact on Black Voters

Senator Warnock Calls for Investigation into Gerrymandering Impact on Black Voters

Senator Raphael Warnock, a Democrat from Georgia, is urging his party to investigate officials accused of manipulating electoral maps to suppress Black voters' voices. Warnock's call to action comes in the wake of the Supreme Court's decision in Louisiana v. Callais, which weakened the Voting Rights Act's Section 2. Warnock argues that partisan gerrymandering has been used to silence minority voices and is pushing for a ban on such practices. He has been a vocal advocate for voting rights since his election, emphasizing the need for legislative action to protect these rights. Warnock's plan includes breaking up the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act into smaller pieces to force votes on them if Democrats regain control of either the House or Senate.

The IURC is responsible for overseeing utility rates and ensuring a balance between affordability, reliability, and the interests of ratepayers and utility companies.

Jim Jordan Accuses Jack Smith of Perjury in DOJ Testimony

House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan has sent a criminal referral to the Department of Justice, accusing former Special Counsel Jack Smith of perjury. The accusation stems from Smith's testimony before the committee, where he allegedly made false statements regarding the acquisition of text message content from Members of Congress. Smith testified that he only sought toll records, not the content of messages. However, it was later revealed that Smith obtained some message content from the National Archives. Jordan's referral suggests that Smith's statements were intentionally misleading, potentially violating 18 U.S.C. § 1001, which pertains to making false statements to the government.

Hancock Prospecting Demands Apology from ABC Over Violent Depiction of Gina Rinehart

Hancock Prospecting has called for a public apology from the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) following the airing of a controversial segment in the 'Race Around the World' series. The segment, which depicted graphic violence against Gina Rinehart, the head of Hancock Prospecting, has been criticized for allegedly encouraging and normalizing violence.

The segment, created by contestant Kate McGuinness, included a character who made a violent reference to Rinehart, which was broadcasted in full during a July 12 episode. Hancock Prospecting argues that the content, having passed through ABC's production and editorial processes, cannot be dismissed as an unscripted comment. The company insists that the ABC's actions are inconsistent with its editorial responsibilities and demands a public apology.

Trump's Presidential Pardons Fuel Lucrative Lobbying Industry, Raising Ethical Concerns

Trump's Presidential Pardons Fuel Lucrative Lobbying Industry, Raising Ethical Concerns

The use of presidential pardons under President Trump has become a lucrative business for law firms and lobbyists, with some clients reportedly paying millions to secure clemency. Former California congressional candidate Omar Navarro claimed he was advised to pay up to $3 million to a law firm to obtain a pardon. The practice, known as 'executive relief,' has seen significant growth, with firms charging high fees to advocate for clemency on behalf of clients. While there is no evidence of illegal activity by President Trump or the White House, the high costs associated with these services have raised ethical questions about the influence of money in the clemency process.

Trump Administration Implements New Tariffs Amid Supreme Court Ruling

Trump Administration Implements New Tariffs Amid Supreme Court Ruling

The Trump administration has introduced a new set of tariffs to replace those previously invalidated by the Supreme Court. These tariffs, which took effect as a prior round expired, are aimed at addressing forced labor issues and will apply to 59 countries and the European Union. The tariffs, set at 10% for countries with bans on forced labor and 12.5% for those without, are part of a broader strategy under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974. This move follows investigations into manufacturing practices and is distinct from the global levies previously struck down.
