Hi, it's Andira. I'm your host for this edition of the News Roundup. Just a quick heads up before we start the show. The news is

rapidly changing and things may be different by the time you hear this

episode. So stay up to date with all the latest by listening to your local

NPR member station and visiting NPR.org for all the latest.

Thanks for listening and enjoy the show. You're listening to the 1A podcast. I'm Indira Lakshmanon of the Associated Press and it's time

for the news roundup. Let's get into it. Here in Washington it's been a

week to pick your battle. Republican House lawmakers are trying to impeach the

man in charge of homeland security. We have not approached this day or this process lightly.

Secretary America's actions have forced our hand. The Constitution gives Congress the

power to impeach federal officials for treason, bribery and high crimes and misdemeanor.

That is a high bar, and we do not have that.

Meanwhile in the Senate, both parties are trying to keep a border security deal alive under pressure from all sides.

We know this is hard, but Democrats and Republicans in this chamber have an obligation

to tune out the outside noise and finish the work for protecting our national security.

Let's introduce our panel who can help us unpack the deals, the no deals, and everything in between.

Wendy Benjaminson is Washington senior editor for Bloomberg News.

Welcome.

Thanks for joining us.

Thanks for having me on.

Edrice Kalun is Washington Bureau Chief for the Economist Adres happy Friday.
