By one constitutional yardstick, they\u2019ve been challenged to produce evidence of high crimes or misdemeanors. In an election year, however, evidence may not be the point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Behind closed doors Wednesday, James Biden told members of two House committees that his older brother, now the president, had no role in any of his business dealings that are now under congressional scrutiny.\u202f<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The president\u2019s son, Hunter Biden, will be interviewed by lawmakers next week. GOP members of the Oversight and Judiciary panels have thus far produced a series of largely exculpatory statements from the president\u2019s relatives and some of their business associates and leaned into accusations raised by a former FBI informant, who is now charged with lying by the Justice Department.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">House Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) and fellow conservative overseers sidestepped questions this week about evidence, arguing the case for impeaching the president does not turn on former informant Alexander Smirnov, who now says Russian intelligence supplied a narrative damaging to Biden.\u202f<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWell, I mean, it is what it is,\u201d Jordan told reporters Wednesday. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t change the fundamental facts.\u201d\u202f\u202f\u202f<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Hill: Arrest of an FBI informant loomed over Wednesday\u2019s questioning of the president\u2019s brother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Republicans argue that Biden improperly sought to leverage his name and influence to enrich his family, even when he returned to private life. Democrats denounce the impeachment inquiry as a political stunt intended to curry favor with supporters of former President Trump, now the GOP presidential front-runner who was twice impeached by the House and acquitted by the Senate. With their current slim House majority and if all members voted, it would only take three Republicans to torpedo impeachment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trump while in office sought to obtain evidence of wrongdoing against Hunter Biden and political rival Joe Biden based on the younger Biden\u2019s past lucrative business dealings on behalf of international clients. Trump\u2019s public assertions about the Biden family in 2019 helped stoke unproven assertions of illegal influence peddling and eventually fed into a federal investigation of Hunter Biden, who has pleaded not guilty to tax and gun charges.

The House Freedom Caucus on Wednesday sent a letter to Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) that added to the pending drama, Axios reports. The firebrands told him their fallback position in the absence of significant spending cuts would be a proposed year of across-the-board spending reductions, which they know House Democrats will reject.\u202f\u202f<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">3 THINGS TO KNOW TODAY:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u25aa \u2696\ufe0f Trump\u2019s attorneys on Wednesday requested a 30-day extension to pay a $355 million business fraud penalty announced by a New York judge last week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u25aa \ud83c\udf16 Lunar landings have a history of being tough to execute.

His stance in support of Israel, which opposes Hamas\u2019s demands for a permanent cease-fire, could cost the president key votes in the state\u2019s Feb. 27 Democratic primary as well as in November, The Hill\u2019s Alex Gangitano reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A Michigan group backed by Dearborn Mayor Abdullah Hammoud, Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.), former Rep. Andy Levin (D-Mich.) and others is seeking to get 10,000 Democrats to vote \u201cuncommitted\u201d in the state\u2019s primary Tuesday (Michigan Advance and The Washington Post).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIf you want us to be louder, then come here and vote uncommitted,\u201d Tlaib said in a video outside an early voting site on Saturday. \u202f\u201c\u2026 This is the way you can raise our voices. Don\u2019t make us even more invisible. Right now, we feel completely neglected and just unseen by our government.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With the primary in Michigan less than a week away, the voices calling for Biden to back a permanent end to the fighting in Gaza are growing louder, indicating the president so far has a no-win political path on the situation. Even so, Biden\u2019s reelection campaign is keeping its sights set on a general election rematch with Trump in November.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">THE GREAT LAKES STATE IS CRUCIAL for Biden to secure in November; he won narrowly over Trump in 2020 after Trump flipped Michigan red in 2016. Alongside Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, Michigan helped establish the winner of both the 2016 and 2020 presidential elections \u2014 and is likely to loom large again in 2024. Biden has set his sights on the state since the start of his campaign, appealing to union workers \u2014 and becoming the first president to join a picket line during the United Auto Workers strike in September. He\u2019s talked up the economy, and is stressing the contrast between his candidacy and Trump\u2019s (Politico and CNN).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Still, Trump maintains a 3-point lead over Biden in Michigan, according to The Hill and Decision Desk HQ\u2019s average of polls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u25aa CBS News: Rep.

Trump will address the conference on Saturday, taking the stage hours before he is likely to thump former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley in her home state of South Carolina as he races toward clinching the Republican presidential nomination.\u202f<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The conference comes amid other signs that Trump is tightening his grip on the party. He has moved to reshuffle the top brass at the Republican National Committee, and his influence on Capitol Hill helped scuttle a bipartisan border security deal (The Hill).\u202f<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe heart and soul of the conservative movement, the heart and soul of the Republican Party, the people that make things happen, they\u2019re all for Trump,\u201d said Matt Schlapp, chairman of the American Conservative Union, which hosts CPAC. \u201cThey\u2019re not really having a conversation about this presidential race because they think it\u2019s over.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before attending CPAC, Trump will speak at the Christian Media Convention in Nashville today (News Channel 5).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">2024 ROUNDUP:\u202f\u202f<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u25aa In Nevada, Senate candidate and veteran Sam Brown, a frontrunner among Republican primary contenders, is challenging Democratic Sen. Jacky Rosen. For that reason, it\u2019s notable that Brown and his wife, Amy Brown, decided to share Amy\u2019s story about an abortion she had when she was single and 24, before they were a couple. Sam Brown told NBC News in an interview that he supports Nevada\u2019s state law allowing abortion up to 24 weeks and backs exceptions for rape, incest and the life and health of a mother. He also said he would \u201cclose the door\u201d on supporting a federal abortion ban, saying it should be a state issue.\u202f<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u25aa Biden is chipping away at student loan debt and has canceled $138 billion using piecemeal executive initiatives but has received scant credit for tackling a campaign promise that has been tangled in court challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u25aa Former Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, once a progressive who has denounced the Democratic Party, will headline a Mar-a-Lago fundraiser March 7 to benefit the 917 Society, known for distributing pocket copies of the Constitution.

However, Gantz repeated his pledge that unless Hamas agrees to release the remaining Israeli hostages in Gaza, Israel will launch a ground offensive into the crowded southern city of Rafah during the upcoming Muslim holy month of Ramadan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Israel\u2019s war in Gaza has driven some 80 percent of the population of 2.3 million from their homes. Most heeded Israeli orders to flee south and around 1.5 million people are packed into Rafah near the border with Egypt. Israel stepped up its bombardment of Rafah, residents said on Wednesday, as the death toll in the war rose to 29,313, according to the Gaza Health Ministry (ABC News and Reuters).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">CIA director Bill Burns is expected to travel to Paris on Friday to hold talks with Qatari, Egyptian and Israeli officials about the efforts to reach a hostage deal, Axios reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">NPR: How much humanitarian aid is getting into Gaza?

Vladimir Putin, who denies he wants to put nuclear weapons into Earth\u2019s orbit, marked Cosmonautics Day in 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">IF RUSSIA SEEKS TO PUT A NUCLEAR WEAPON in orbit, it will likely do so this year \u2014 but it might instead launch a harmless \u201cdummy\u201d warhead to leave the West guessing about its capabilities. American intelligence agencies recently provided this assessment to their closest European allies, though they remain sharply divided in their opinion about what President Vladimir Putin is planning. The nuclear space weapon would not attack Earth, but would instead destroy satellites by creating a massive energy wave when detonated, potentially crippling a vast swath of the commercial and government satellites that the world below depends on to talk on cell phones, pay bills, and use the internet (CNN).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On Tuesday, Putin rejected the accusation that he intended to place a nuclear weapon in orbit, and his defense minister said the intelligence warning was manufactured in an effort to get Congress to authorize more aid for Ukraine (The New York Times).\u202f<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u25aa The Hill: Biden on Wednesday called Putin a \u201ccrazy SOB.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u25aa CNN analysis: Putin looms over a third successive U.S. election.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u25aa Politico: The White House struggles to increase pressure on Russia as options dwindle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u25aa The Wall Street Journal: This Ukrainian teenager was forcibly taken from his hometown and immersed in pro-Moscow messaging.

The ruling is limited to Alabama, reports The Hill\u2019s Nathaniel Weixel, but reproductive rights advocates and legal experts worry it\u2019s a new opening in the \u201cpersonhood\u201d movement, which aims to grant legal protections to embryos at the point of conception. More immediately, the decision poses questions for the fertility industry and in vitro fertilization clinics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The University of Alabama at Birmingham health system has since announced it is pausing in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment following the ruling, the first health system in the state to do so (CNN).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">STATES &amp; CLIMATE: Many of the largest U.S. banks and asset managers are withdrawing from their climate commitments amid a fossil fuel-funded assault aimed at state legislatures. As bills bills against environmental, social and governance initiatives are proposed in statehouses across the country \u2014 initiatives to blacklist and in some cases criminalize banks that refuse to invest in fossil fuels \u2014 many banks are retreating from the bullish \u201cnet zero\u201d pronouncements they made since the 2015 Paris Climate Accords (The Hill).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">MAJOR TECHNOLOGY COMPANIES nationwide have cut thousands of jobs since the start of 2024, marking the latest wave of layoffs in the industry in recent years. While earlier cuts were attributed to pandemic-era dynamics as well as lingering high interest rates, some experts point to the rapid development of artificial intelligence (Bloomberg News).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A PROPOSED GEORGIA LAW dictating that private schools cannot teach students about gender identity or LGBTQ theory without parental approval divides some conservatives and school choice advocates, writes The Hill\u2019s Lexi Lonas. While Republicans often tout private schools as a way to help keep the government out of education, private schools can restrict how gender can be taught in public schools.\u202f<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI think that this is a major overreach. One of the most basic benefits of choice in education, and especially of just being able to choose a private school, is people with different values can choose schools based on the policies they have \u2014 and those policies can be different,\u201d said Neal McCluskey, director of the Cato Institute\u2019s Center for Educational Freedom.\u202f<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Hill: In Texas, a Black teenager suspended for his dreadlocks heads to court in a CROWN Act case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">OPINION<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u25a0 It\u2019s time to seize Russia\u2019s reserves.
