Author J.K. Rowling exposed the radical transgender activist playbook in a recent post to X‚ highlighting the response shed gotten from a critic and explaining that shed never seen the position articulated so honestly.The conversation began with a question posed to Rowling‚ asking her how she defined woman and whether it just came down to having female equipment or if she believed one must make use of said equipment in order to truly be a woman.The Harry Potter author responded with a lengthy post‚ saying in part that she believed that women in addition to their biological realities were defined by a set of lived experiences that no trans-identifying male could ever have.Youve asked me several questions on this thread and accused me of avoiding answering‚ so here goes.I believe a woman is a human being who belongs to the sex class that produces large gametes. Its irrelevant whether or not her gametes have ever been fertilised‚ whether or not pic.twitter.com/X6mbdJ0YVm J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) April 6‚ 2024I believe a woman is a human being who belongs to the sex class that produces large gametes. Its irrelevant whether or not her gametes have ever been fertilised‚ whether or not shes carried a baby to term‚ irrelevant if she was born with a rare difference of sexual development that makes neither of the above possible‚ or if shes aged beyond being able to produce viable eggs‚ Rowling said. She is a woman and just as much a woman as the others.She went on to say that women could not be put in boxes‚ adding‚ Women are provably subject to certain experiences because of our female bodies‚ including different forms of oppression‚ depending on the cultures in which we live. When trans activists say I thought you didnt want to be defined by your biology‚ its a feeble and transparent attempt at linguistic sleight of hand. Women dont want to be limited‚ exploited‚ punished‚ or subject to other unjust treatment because of their biology‚ but our being female is indeed defined by our biology.Rowling followed addressed several other topics including her opinions on gender dysphoria and medical treatments aimed at aiding those suffering from gender dysphoria to transition to the opposite sex and her continued passion for protecting womens spaces‚ particularly for those who had been victims of sexual abuse and domestic violence.CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APPAnd while some responded positively to the authors lengthy explanation‚ the one Rowling highlighted rejected her words out of hand.Thats a whole lotta words and quite frankly Im not f***ing reading all that. I just wanted to say that its weirder to do all the instead of just believing that trans women are women. Seriously‚ at this point which sounds more insane to the average person?Rowling blacked out the name of the person who had sent that reply and shared a screenshot with the following response: This is the bottom line of every single activist Ive ever engaged with on this issue‚ but rarely have I seen it stated so honestly. Why cant you just believe‚ its so weird you care‚ why make this complicated‚ just accept the slogan.';This is the bottom line of every single activist Ive ever engaged with on this issue‚ but rarely have I seen it stated so honestly.

Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes‚ who is widely viewed as controversial because he seems to use the judicial system to impose his will on others‚ is targeting X owner Elon Musk and employees at the company for refusing to restrict accounts on the platform that engage in what he alleges is the dissemination of fake news.De Moraes is so controversial that even The New York Times notes that he uses a broad interpretation of the courts powers to investigate and prosecute‚ as well as to silence on social media‚ anyone he deems a menace to Brazils institutions.The Times noted that he has jailed people for social media posts‚ suspended an elected governor from his job‚ ordered raids on businessmen with little evidence of wrongdoing‚ and has unilaterally blocked dozens of accounts and thousands of posts on social media‚ with virtually no transparency or room for appeal.In addition to investigating Musk and X for content allowed on the platform‚ de Moraes has now opened a separate probe into Musk for what he claims is a disinformation campaign against Brazils court system.The flagrant conduct of obstruction of Brazilian justice‚ incitement of crime‚ the public threat of disobedience of court orders and future lack of cooperation from the platform are facts that disrespect the sovereignty of Brazil‚ de Moraes claimed.Musk said that de Moraes demanded that X suspend accounts of people who raised corruption concerns while insisting that X pretend the suspension was for violating our terms of service!We obey the laws of countries even if we disagree with them‚ but this required violating the laws of Brazil‚ he added.CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APPMusk said that de Moraes was one of the justices who pulled [Current Brazilian President Luiz Incio] Lula [da Silva] out of prison and put his thumb on the scale to get Lula elected‚ and added that Lula will obviously not take action against him. The next election will be key.Brazilian politician Nikolas Ferreira asked Musk to give the people more information about his allegations that de Moraes put his thumb on the scale to get Lula elected.We need to get our employees in Brazil to a safe place or otherwise not in a position of responsibility‚ then we will do a full data dump‚ Musk responded.

Israel has reportedly indicated that if Iran launches a strike in retaliation for Israel killing a top Iranian general last week‚ Israel will respond by destroying Irans nuclear sites.The Times of Israel highlighted a report from a London-based Arab news organization this week that cited a Western security official who said that Israel has been conducting air force drills in recent days that include preparing to target Iranian nuclear facilities and other key infrastructure.Israeleliminated Mohammed Reza Zahedi‚ the top commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corpss Quds Force in Lebanon and Syria‚ from the battlefield last week as he met with other Iranian commanders and leaders from the Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorist group.The Coalition Council of Islamic Revolution Forces‚ a staunchly pro-IRGC political group‚ responded to the strike by praising Zahedis strategic role in forming and strengthening the resistance front as well as in planning and executing Hamas October 7 terrorist attack against Israel.U.S. officials believe that Iran is unlikely to launch a direct attack themselves‚ as sources familiar with U.S. intelligence told CNN that Iran has urged several of its proxy militia groups to simultaneously launch a large-scale attack against Israel‚ using drones and missiles‚ and that they could attack as soon as this week.CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APPU.S. intelligence said that there was debate over whether the terrorist groups would wait until after Ramadan ends this week before launching the attack.Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned last week that the country will not hesitate to take preemptive military action against any threat it faces.Iran has been acting against us for years directly and via proxies. And‚ therefore‚ Israel acts against Iran and its proxies defensively and offensively‚ he said. We will know how to defend ourselves‚ and we will act according to the simple principle: that those who harm us or plan to harm us‚ we will harm.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) said on Monday that Democrats should be moving to acknowledge the upside of the uncommitted movement‚ attempting to put a positive spin on the large numbers of Democrats who have voted against President Joe Biden in some swing state primaries.The New York Congresswoman told comedian Stephen Colbert that if those voters who have expressed anger over the Biden administrations continued support for Israels war against the terrorist group Hamas were truly disillusioned and disengaged‚ they would have stayed home instead of continuing to engage in the voting process and she said that Democrats should see that as a plus.WATCH:We need to acknowledge the upside of the Uncommitted movement. @AOC pic.twitter.com/uAPbgNlav2 Waleed Shahid (@_waleedshahid) April 9‚ 2024We need to acknowledge‚ actually‚ the upside of the uncommitted movement‚ which is that these are folks that easily could have given way to cynicism and walked away from this process entirely‚ Ocasio-Cortez said.She went on to explain that the thousands who had voted uncommitted in states like Michigan were using the primary to send a message and make it clear to Biden that the issue was one that was important enough for them to take a stand.CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APPI do believe that many in the uncommitted campaigns also know and understand the threat of a Donald Trump presidency‚ Ocasio-Cortez continued. The Democratic Party has always been a coalition party‚ and we have to bring everybody together. Once people feel like their concerns have been seen‚ then we can start the process of coming together. I think theyre using this process to be seen‚ and its best that we do that now‚ than for folks to stay home in November.Ocasio-Cortez‚ who has said that she plans to vote for Biden despite her own criticisms of his support for Israel‚ did not say what could happen if those who had voted uncommitted in several state primaries did not appreciate Bidens response to their message.

A 25-year NPR veteran wrote a scathing op-ed saying that his network had lost its way‚ pointing to various examples‚ including coverage of transgender issues and the refusal to use terms like biological sex.In The Free Press article titled‚ Ive Been at NPR for 25 Years. Heres How We Lost Americas Trust‚ NPR Senior Business Editor Uri Berliner wrote that an open-minded‚ curious culture prevailed‚ previously but said that had all changed and now we dont have an audience that reflects America. The biggest problem he has seen at NPR is the lack of viewpoint diversity. Its frictionless one story after another about instances of supposed racism‚ transphobia‚ signs of the climate apocalypse‚ Israel doing something bad‚ and the dire threat of Republican policies‚ Berliner said‚ adding that all appeared to be covered and framed in the same fashion. After George Floyds death‚ he said the message came down from the top of the network‚ Americas infestation with systemic racism was declared loud and clear: it was a given.In a document called NPR Transgender Coverage Guidancedisseminated by news managementwere asked to avoid the term biological sex. (The editorial guidance was prepared with the help of a former staffer of the National Center for Transgender Equality.)‚ Berliner wrote.We could face up to where weve gone wrong. News organizations dont go in for that kind of reckoning. But theres a good reason for NPR to be the first: were the ones with the word public in our name. @uriberliners hope for a U.S. media institution. https://t.co/EclQJO838a pic.twitter.com/CvFfSoL3xx The Free Press (@TheFP) April 9‚ 2024The mindset animates bizarre storieson how The Beatles and bird names are racially problematic‚ and others that are alarmingly divisive; justifying looting‚ with claims that fears about crime are racist; and suggesting that Asian Americans who oppose affirmative action have been manipulated by white conservatives‚ he added.More recently‚ we have approached the Israel-Hamas war and its spillover onto streets and campuses through the intersectional lens that has jumped from the faculty lounge to newsrooms‚ the NPR veteran continued. Thats meant highlighting the suffering of Palestinians at almost every turn while downplaying the atrocities of October 7‚ overlooking how Hamas intentionally puts Palestinian civilians in peril‚ and giving little weight to the explosion of antisemitic hate around the world.He pointed to NPRs wall-to-wall coverage coverage during former President Donald Trumps presidency of the now-debunked Russiagate. The editor said that the networks response when the story fell apart was to pretend it never happened and to offer no mea culpas‚ no self-reflection even though they perpetuate the culture that shatters trust and engenders cynicism about the media.Berliner wrote that NPR also turned a blind eye during the 2020 election to President Joe Bidens son‚ Hunter Bidens laptop‚ which he argued was newsworthy. Its contents revealed his connection to the corrupt world of multimillion-dollar influence peddling and its possible implications for his father.He also looked critically at the networks coverage of COVID-19 and said that its utter failure to consider anything other than the prevailing narrative that the virus had to have come from nature and its choice to completely ignore the lab leak theory was just another example of how the network had lost its way.

Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) told teenagers at an eclipse-viewing event on Monday that the moon was made up of gases and despite that‚ she wanted to be among the first who had a chance to live there.Jackson Lee‚ 74‚ addressed a crowd of teenaged students outside of Houstons Booker T. Washington High School and she delivered a series of scientifically dubious comments ahead of the celestial phenomenon.WATCH:Congresswoman Sheila Jackson-Lee (D):The moon is ";made up mostly of gases"; so we can soon live inside it‚ unlike the sun which is ";almost"; too hot to go near. pic.twitter.com/bSd9zXcEPo End Wokeness (@EndWokeness) April 9‚ 2024Youve heard the word full moon. Sometimes you need to take the opportunity just to come out and see a full moon is that complete rounded circle‚ which is made up mostly of gases‚ Jackson Lee began. And thats why the question is why or how could we as humans live on the moon? Are the gases such that we could do that?The sun is a mighty powerful heat‚ but its almost impossible to go near the sun. The moon is more manageable‚ the Texas legislator continued. And you will see in a moment not a moment‚ you will see in a couple of years‚ that NASA is going back to the moon.Jackson Lee also claimed that the moon gave off unique light and energy and‚ according to a report from the New York Post‚ gave an even stranger description for the reason the solar eclipse was happening.I dont think weve been on the moon the last 50 years. So we will be landing on the moon. What youll see today will be the closest distance that the moon has ever been in the last 20 years. Which means thats why they will shut the light down because they will be close to the Earth‚ she said‚ making no mention of the alignment of the sun and moon that caused the eclipse.I dont know about you‚ I want to be first in line to know how to live and to be able to survive on the moon. Thats another planet which were going to see shortly‚ she added.Jackson Lee‚ who previously served as the top Democrat on the House Science Committees space subcommittee‚ also once famously asked whether the Mars Pathfinder had been successful in capturing photos of the American flag she said was planted there in 1969 by NASA astronaut Neil Armstrong.

There arent a lot of guarantees in the criminal justice system. But for a long time now‚ theres been at least one thing you can be pretty sure of if you kill someone else in self-defense‚ theres a good chance youre going to be charged with murder.Trayvon Martin called George Zimmerman a cracker right before pounding his head into the pavement‚ and famously‚ the entire country including the president of the United States determined immediately that George Zimmerman was the bad guy. And of course‚ Kyle Rittenhouse very nearly had to spend the rest of his life in prison for the crime of defending himself against several people who tried to kill him‚ including a pedophile who just got out of a mental hospital and an Antifa footsoldier who drew a handgun on him.Everyones heard of these cases because in both instances‚ there was a clear racial angle to push. Even though he didnt kill any black people‚ the Kyle Rittenhouse incident happened in the context of BLM mobs torching cities. Thats why he became an instant target. George Zimmerman‚ for his part‚ gave Barack Obama a chance to talk about how systemically racist America is. So his case was useful for a moment as well.But there are many self-defense cases that dont make the mainstream news‚ at least not nearly to the same extent. And all of them‚ to one degree or another‚ contradict the prevailing media narrative‚ so the corporate press ignores them. But theyre important to talk about‚ in part because they show how prosecutors and witnesses are willing to lie to imprison people who exercise one of their most fundamental rights‚ which is the right of self-defense. And how casually they will destroy peoples lives for the crime of trying to preserve their own lives.So Im going to go in-depth into one of these cases‚ which is still ongoing and hasnt gotten nearly as much attention as it deserves. Plus‚ its the premiere day for JUDGED‚ so a deep-dive on a court case seemed fitting.WATCH: JUDGED By Matt Walsh on DailyWire+Heres the background.In the summer of 2022‚ a man in his early 50s named Nicolae Miu was out tubing with a group of people‚ including his wife‚ in the Apple River in Wisconsin. Apparently a member of his party dropped their phone somewhere in the river‚ and Nicolae Miu left his group and went looking for it. Thats when‚ around 3:40 p.m.‚ Miu encountered a couple of additional tubing groups one consisting of a bunch of teenagers‚ and the other including some adults.Most of the involved parties are under the influence of alcohol and other drugs to varying degrees. They began exchanging some words. Heres what happened next:Its clear from this footage that‚ throughout the entire incident right up until their friend gets stabbed‚ the crowd of teenagers doesnt seem to be afraid of anything‚ or fearful for their lives in any way. And that makes sense. Miu is much older than they are‚ and‚ though they wouldnt have known this‚ he just had quadruple bypass surgery.Meanwhile‚ these teenagers are mostly football players in prime physical condition. So they appear to be very much the aggressors as they jeer and taunt the older man and accuse him of looking for a little girl.Then something happens off-camera. An adult woman‚ who came over from another tubing group‚ gets in the mans face. He apparently makes some sort of contact with her‚ and the mob pounces. They push the man and begin hitting him repeatedly after he goes down in the water. Meanwhile the woman is fine shes not hurt in any way. Only after the man fatally stabs one of his attackers a teenager named Isaac Schuman does the mood change. Schuman bled out on the scene. The man also stabbed several others who were attacking him.WATCH: The Matt Walsh ShowBased on these facts‚ within 48 hours‚ the D.A. charged Nicolae Miu with first-degree murder. Whats followed‚ nearly two years later‚ is nothing short of a train wreck.There are air-tight cases‚ close cases‚ and then theres this. Pretty much every prosecution witness has demonstrated very clearly that theyre either lying or completely unsure of what happened two years ago. This is such a debacle that very real questions need to be asked about why this case was brought‚ and why these prosecutors still have jobs.Ill start with the incredible testimony of a witness named Larrion Davis‚ who recorded some of the footage of the incident. Under cross-examination (from one of Kyle Rittenhouses old lawyers‚ incidentally)‚ Davis admits he lied to the police about why the group was upset with Miu. Watch:Its hard to believe this is a real interaction between two humans. Lawyer: You said you saw him taking pictures of the girls. Witness: Yes‚ I said that. Lawyer: Did you see it? Witness: No‚ I said it.To be clear‚ were talking about falsely accusing a man of pedophilia‚ two years after the fact. And the only excuse he can come up with for lying is‚ There was a lot going on.Keep in mind‚ this is a prosecution witness. This should be the end of the case right here. This is the clearest possible evidence that the people Miu confronted decided‚ long after the fact‚ to come up with a story to justify their aggression towards him. They have no credibility whatsoever.Youll remember in the video‚ someone shouted that Miu was looking for a girl. But on cross-examination‚ another witness‚ Jawahn Cockfield‚ admitted that the claim wasnt based on any evidence whatsoever. Watch:So they just called this man a raper whos interested in little girls‚ as a way of scoping out the situation. Thats their way of gathering intel‚ apparently. And then‚ elsewhere in the testimony‚ Cockfield claims to be shocked that the man‚ in response‚ turned around and became upset.None of this makes any sense. And as the trial went on‚ it continued to make no sense. For example‚ on cross-examination‚ it was revealed that the dead teenagers best friend‚ Owen Peloquin‚ told police on the day of the incident that Miu was looking for a lost phone‚ not underage girls. Listen to the defense attorney read Peloquins prior statement‚ and then watch as Peloquin tries to weasel out of the admission:Now‚ two years later‚ Peloquins memory is suddenly better. And by that‚ he means his memory is worse. Now he doesnt recall the guy ever saying anything about missing a phone. And he had no way of figuring out how to tell the police any of this‚ because hes just 19-years-old. And 19-year-olds are apparently completely unable to use Google or cellphones or dial 911‚ evidently.These are strange lapses in the prosecutions case‚ to say the least. And it keeps going. Peloquin also testifies that he simply cant remember the fact that one of his friends was shouting For the culture to egg on a fight. Watch:Admittedly‚ I had to look this one up‚ because Im not a teenager. If you go on Urban Dictionary‚ youll find that for the culture means‚When you do something you know you usually wouldnt have done and are doing it purely for the hype factor of going against your usual judgment to instead try something new and different.This is what one of the witnesses was shouting as the mob descended on this 52-year-old man.This is the kind of fact that‚ if youre trying to make Nicolae Miu out to be the aggressor‚ is kind of inconvenient. So Owen just pretends he doesnt remember it happening. Problem solved‚ according to the prosecutors.These kinds of inconsistencies are continuing to pile up as the trial goes along. But a few facts were definitively established. One is that‚ contrary to what some of these teenagers said‚ Miu never knocked a woman down at any point during this altercation. She was captured on the recording‚ standing upright and holding her phone.Additionally‚ Miu never stabbed anyone until he was in the water‚ surrounded by a mob that was punching him in the face. So Nicolae Miu waited until his life was in danger before he used deadly force.And once he began stabbing people‚ he didnt indiscriminately start swinging. Instead‚ he only targeted the people who were targeting him including Isaac Schuman‚ who put his hands on Mius neck. Watch:Its not an exaggeration to say that the prosecution has not presented a single witness to bolster its claim that this was first-degree murder. Instead‚ every single witness rebutted their argument. Here for example is another witness‚ A.J. Martin‚ who concedes that ganging up on a man in his 50s and beating him may‚ in fact‚ not deescalate an already-tense situation:So far‚ we have the prosecution establishing the following facts: Most of its witnesses are liars. It was completely reasonable for this 50-year-old man to fear for his life. One of the teenagers had his hand on this mans neck while the others pummeled him from behind. And that they all lied about him being a pedophile‚ two years after the fact.This is not exactly the kind of case it takes Perry Mason to win. But somehow‚ once again‚ things got worse for the prosecution. Yet another witness claimed that the group was afraid of Nicolae Miu‚ but began to feel a little more secure as other adults began surrounding him as well. So hes presenting this image of a deranged 50-year-old man whos freaking him out. Then the defense attorney shows a photo of the witness looking extremely enthusiastic and not remotely afraid. Watch:Thats not the face of someone whos afraid for his life‚ and whos grateful that other adults have appeared to deal with a threat. Everyone looking at this footage knows that. This is yet another prosecution witness who is lying‚ overtly‚ on the stand.I could go on for another hour dissecting every other aspect of this case‚ and how totally disastrous its been for the prosecution‚ but you get the point. In no sane country is this a first-degree murder case. And by the way‚ there is no duty to retreat in Wisconsin‚ but even if there were‚ there was no real chance for this man to get away once the mob descended on him. This is a completely unjustifiable prosecution no matter how you look at it.It was brought for the same reason that most other self-defense claims are brought to terrorize the rest of the population into submission. Remember how the Rittenhouse prosecutor said everyone takes a beating now and then? Were pretty close to the prosecutors in this case saying the same thing. Thats more or less their argument at this point that 52-year-old men should just accept their mob beatings‚ rather than defend themselves. But that is obviously outrageous. In a sane society‚ if you harass and assault someone‚ whatever happens next whatever violence erupts as a result of your choices is your fault. If you dont want to get shot or stabbed‚ dont go around trying to bully random strangers just for fun.The reason this case isnt on every mainstream channel is that the mob happened to be white‚ for the most part. But this is every bit as serious and coordinated an attack on the right to self-defense as the Rittenhouse and Zimmerman trials were. The judge should dismiss the charges. The prosecutors should be disbarred‚ and new prosecutors should consider looking into perjury charges for some of these witnesses. If none of that happens and if somehow the jury convicts then we can say with certainty that‚ just a couple years after the Kyle Rittenhouse trial‚ the right of self-defense has been suspended in the state of Wisconsin. Everyone living there should either move‚ or prepare accordingly. And the rest of us should do everything we can to preserve our fundamental rights while we still have them.

A Canadian man had two healthy fingers amputated to treat his body integrity dysphoria‚ a case report about his procedure reveals.The 20-year-old ambidextrous man experienced profound distress over his left hands fourth and fifth fingers and decided to have them amputated‚ according to the case report‚ which was published March 27 in Clinical Case Reports‚ an open access medical journal.Body integrity dysphoria is the rare phenomenon of individuals wanting to amputate parts of their body‚ usually limbs‚ often because they feel the body part does not belong to them.The young man opted for amputation after non-invasive treatments proved unsuccessful‚ the report says.Despite ethical concerns and limited literature on [body integrity dysphoria]‚ the decision to proceed with elective surgery was based on the patients sustained desire‚ potential risks of self-harm‚ and the distinct presentation involving two fingers rather than a complete limb‚ Dr. Nadia Nadeau of the department of psychiatry at Universit Laval in Quebec wrote in the case report.The man described having intrusive thoughts about his left hands fourth and fifth fingers since childhood and felt they should not belong to his body. He described often hiding his fingers‚ causing pain‚ and said he had not told his family about his distress due to embarrassment.The man also said he suffered from nightmares in which his fingers were burning or rotting. He considered removing the two fingers himself.CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APPHe had contemplated asking a friend to watch over him and be prepared to call emergency services in case his attempt led to a need for resuscitation‚ Dr. Nadeau wrote in the case report. Working in a sawmill‚ he considered building a small guillotine to cut his fingers. He couldnt imagine himself living for the years to come with those fingers.After his fingers were amputated‚ the man experienced immediate relief‚ according to the report.The case report claims the mans experience highlights the potential efficacy and patient satisfaction of elective amputation for people with body integrity dysphoria‚ as well as the importance of inclusive healthcare practices.Functionality was not meaningfully affected‚ the doctor wrote. In fact‚ he reported that without the two fingers he was able to use his hand as he had it mapped in his mind without having the fingers bothering him.He won arm-wrestling games‚ was able to drive his four wheels‚ kept working with his hands without any problem‚ the report reads. He had constructive life plans‚ reduced anger‚ and improved well-being with family and at work.The man feared judgment in romantic relationships after the amputation‚ but reported he was now able to enjoy a normal life.Body integrity dysphoria has been compared to gender dysphoria amputation treatment for body integrity dysphoria is compared to the surgeries trans-identifying people get to try to align their bodies with their gender identities. Those surgeries can be phalloplasty‚ vaginoplasty‚ double mastectomy‚ and sometimes facial feminization surgery.Critics of gender ideology have slammed doctors amputating the healthy breasts of minor girls who want to masculinize their appearance.

The GOP-led House has opted to delay sending impeachment articles against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas over his handling of the border crisis to the Democrat-controlled Senate next week.Instead of conducting the handoff on Wednesday which was part of a plan announced two weeks ago the lower chamber will now wait until at least Monday‚ according to the office of Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA).To ensure the Senate has adequate time to perform its constitutional duty‚ the House will transmit the articles of impeachment to the Senate next week‚ Johnson spokesperson Taylor Haulsee said in a statement. There is no reason whatsoever for the Senate to abdicate its responsibility to hold an impeachment trial.House lawmakers passed two impeachment articles in February that accuse Mayorkas of willfully and systemically refusing to comply with federal immigration laws‚ and the other alleged he breached the public trust with false statements and obstructing lawful oversight of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).Although roughly two months have passed‚ Senate Republicans asked Johnson to delay sending over the articles until at least Monday to give them more time‚ Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) said. There had been reporting that said Democrats expected to dismiss the impeachment charges before a full trial could take place.Were going to try to resolve this issue as quickly as impossible. Impeachment should never be used to settle policy disagreements‚ Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) told reporters on Wednesday. His office previously said senators would be sworn in as jurors a day after the House impeachment managers present their articles to the Senate andSenate President Pro Tempore Patty Murray (D-WA) would preside.A two-thirds vote is required for a conviction in the Democrat-led Senate‚ which would lead to removal from office. But the articles may not make it far with a motion to table‚ which‚ according to the Senate glossary‚ is a proposal to set aside any pending question.Used to dispose of a question the Chamber does not want to consider further. Agreement to the motion is equivalent to defeating the question tabled.CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APPDemocrats have criticized the impeachment proceedings as a political stunt‚ while Mayorkas pushed back against what he called false accusations levied against him. A DHS spokesperson reacted to the successful House impeachment vote by saying‚ House Republicans will be remembered by history for trampling on the Constitution for political gain rather than working to solve the serious challenges at our border.There has been talk among Senate Republicans‚ too‚ that suggested not every GOP member would oppose a motion to dismiss. Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) would not rule it out‚ according to The Hill‚ as he said the Biden administrations border policy was damaging‚ but did not rise to the level of a high crime or misdemeanor.
