The Senate passed a $70 billion immigration enforcement package on a party-line vote Friday — but only after a near-collapse over an internal Republican dispute. Plus: a Supreme Court ruling clears Alabama's new redistricting map, a federal judge faces impeachment articles, and Xavier Becerra advances in California's gubernatorial primary.

The Senate passed seventy billion dollars in immigration enforcement funding Friday morning on a strict party-line vote. No Democrats voted for it.
The Supreme Court handed down a six-to-three ruling clearing Alabama to use a new redistricting map that eliminates a majority-Black congressional district. The map is now authorized weeks before the state's August primary election.
On the House side, Representative Clay Fuller introduced impeachment articles against federal Judge Eleanor Ross on Friday. The charges allege sexual misconduct and false statements made to investigators.
In California, former Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra is projected to advance to the general election in the state's open gubernatorial primary. He pulled in twenty-six-point-seven percent in a crowded field.
The through-line across all of this is Republican coherence, or the lack of it. The immigration bill passed, but it took until early morning and left an unresolved dispute over a nearly two-billion dollar fund.
