This was not a trick question. [Facebook]([Twitter]([Email](mailto:?body=This “Bachelor” star saw a little bit of RBG in GRB #theSkimm%0A3Ftype%3Demailurl%26r%3DSKIMM%26utm_source%3Demail%26utm_medium%3Ddsshare%23custom) Top Story [U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas testifies during a House Homeland Security Committee ] Impeachment Vote The Story The House [didn’t impeach]( Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. Is this about the border? Yup. Yesterday, three Republicans sided with House Democrats to upend the House GOP’s efforts to impeach Mayorkas. The vote made him the second sitting Cabinet member in US history to face such an effort. The [two articles of impeachment]( accused Mayorkas of refusing to comply with immigration laws and making false statements to Congress about [the border](. The Department of Homeland Security said “this baseless impeachment should never have moved forward.” Still, Republicans vowed to keep trying to impeach. It's not the only battle on the Hill over immigration. Tell me more. While the House brought Mayorkas’ impeachment vote to the floor, Senate Republicans said they [aren’t backing]( a bipartisan border deal unveiled earlier this week. It comes after former President Trump [campaigned]( against the deal, calling the legislation a “highly sophisticated trap.” Meanwhile, President Biden said it’s time for the GOP “to show a little spine” and pass the legislation, which includes aid for Ukraine and Israel. Even if the Senate manages to push the bill through, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) said it would be “dead on arrival” in the House. theSkimm While the House GOP failed to impeach Mayorkas, the Senate's bipartisan immigration bill [appears poised to fail](. Coupled with the Biden admin and Texas [standoff]( over the southern border, it's got many wondering if and when the government will take action on an issue that’s a [top concern]( for voters.

Yesterday, a jury convicted the mother of the Oxford High School shooter on four counts of involuntary manslaughter. Jennifer Crumbley is the first parent in the US to be held legally responsible for their child carrying out a mass school shooting. In 2021, Crumbley’s then 15-year-old son killed four students and injured seven others. He was sentenced to [life in prison]( without parole. Prosecutors argued that Crumbley knew her son was struggling with his mental health. They also said she and her husband (who also faces [criminal charges]() gave their son the gun used in the shooting as a gift, but didn’t keep it safe. Crumbley said it was her husband’s responsibility to safely store the gun. Some experts say the decision could shape the future of criminal liability for parents of mass shooters. --------------------------------------------------------------- Whose case is still in the court system… [Former President Trump’s](. Yesterday, a federal appeals court ruled that Trump can’t claim presidential immunity in his 2020 election interference case. [Presidential immunity]( is a key part of Trump’s legal defense, as the former president says he can’t be prosecuted for what he did while in office unless he's first impeached and convicted by Congress. Now, the unanimous decision — by a panel of two Democratic-appointed judges and one Republican-appointed judge — means trial prep for the DC case could begin later this month. It’s one of [four criminal cases]( against the former president as he runs for office. Trump’s legal team says they will appeal the decision. The case may reach the Supreme Court, which could impact when and if the trial will happen. …Oh and speaking of running for office, former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley lost the Nevada GOP presidential primary to the “[none of these candidates](” option on the ballot. Trump didn't participate in the primary. He’s competing in [Nevada’s GOP caucuses]( tomorrow instead, which will award all of the state’s 26 delegates. [President Biden won]( yesterday’s Democratic primary in the state. --------------------------------------------------------------- What researchers looked into... [Heartbreak](. Yesterday, researchers published a study that found women are more likely than men to use antidepressants after a break-up later in life. The study looked at more than 228,000 Finnish residents between the ages of 50 and 70 who went through different kinds of heartbreak like divorce or a partner's death. In the six months leading up to a divorce, antidepressant use among women increased by 7% compared to 5% in men. The researchers reportedly said this could be due to factors like economic status and gender differences in family roles. They also reportedly found that more men entered new relationships after a break-up or death than women, but it's about the same after a divorce. --------------------------------------------------------------- Who’s saying WeBelong together… [Adam Neumann](. Yesterday, media outlets reported that Neumann is trying to buy WeWork — the company he co-founded in 2010 and got booted from as CEO five years ago. WeWork was valued at [$47 billion]( in 2019, only to file for [bankruptcy]( last year, as about 20% of offices nationwide [remain vacant](. Still, the company doesn’t seem to be opening the door to Neumann's bid. --------------------------------------------------------------- What’s almost as good as [naming a cockroach]( after your ex… [Goodbye pizzas](. --------------------------------------------------------------- Who's not feeling the Disney magic...
