GOP Splinters Over Clean FISA Extension as Floor Vote Looms

Republicans are racing to push a clean 18-month extension of Section 702 FISA before the April 20 deadline, with Speaker Mike Johnson promising no amendments and the House Rules Committee set to tee up a floor vote despite hard-liner pressure for changes like warrants and data-broker restrictions; backup options include a shorter extension as the White House presses for unity on spy powers. Alongside this, lawmakers moved the ALERT Act for aviation safety, while immigration funding, farm-bill timing, and investigations into ActBlue and notable resignations add to Republican-and-Democrat jockeying in Washington.

"Proposed Changes in College Football: Helmet Communications and Technology Rules"

The NCAA Football Rules Committee has proposed modernizing college football rules for 2024, aligning the sport more closely with the NFL. The recommended changes include allowing helmet communications, in-game tablet use, and a two-minute timeout, pending approval by the NCAA Playing Rules Oversight Panel. Other proposed measures involve warnings and penalties for uniform violations, expanded tablet usage, and the implementation of 15-yard horse-collar tackle penalties within the tackle box. These changes aim to simplify timing rules, reduce the need for intricate play signaling, and align college football with professional standards.

"Texas Senate to Consider Rules for Ken Paxton's Impeachment Trial Amid Controversy"

The Texas Senate is set to hear from a seven-senator committee that was directed to create the rules to govern the impeachment trial of suspended Attorney General Ken Paxton. Paxton's legal team has urged the committee to recommend rules that would allow the Senate to toss out the House-approved articles of impeachment, calling the procedure a "kangaroo court" because Paxton was not given the opportunity to defend himself. The House managers have sent the Senate committee 17 examples of rules that were used in past impeachment trials in Texas, including a recusal rule. Paxton's permanent removal from office would require a two-thirds vote in the Senate.

The Impeachment of Ken Paxton: Conflicts, Suspensions, and Political Intrigue.

The impeachment of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has moved to the state Senate, where a two-thirds majority is required to remove him from office. The Senate plans to consider impeachment rules on June 20 and start the trial by Aug. 28. Potential conflicts of interest abound, including the fact that Paxton's wife is a senator and a colleague is implicated in the allegations against him. The Senate is also tasked with setting rules for the trial, which could be key to the outcome.
