The New Administrative Capital (NAC) in Egypt, located 60 kilometers east of Tahrir Square, is a planned city designed to serve as the central government and financial hub. The NAC mimics Washington, DC, in its layout and features a neo-pharaonic architectural style. However, the city is inaccessible to the majority of the Egyptian population, as it is only reachable by private car or government shuttle. The construction of the NAC has resulted in the displacement of many Egyptians and the destruction of historic sites in Cairo. The city's focus on monumentality and its car-dependent design raise questions about who the NAC is truly built for. [Extracted from the article]

The House of Representatives has voted to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas for his alleged failure to handle the migrant crisis on the southern border. This is the second attempt by Republicans to hold Mayorkas accountable, and it marks the first time in nearly 150 years that a Cabinet official has been impeached. However, the impeachment effort faces significant challenges in the Senate, where a two-thirds vote is required for conviction.

A new bill, called the Guarding the United States Against Reckless Disclosures Act, has been introduced to restrict the security access of federal employees and candidates running for federal office if they are charged with certain crimes. The bill, sponsored by Rep. Mikie Sherrill, aims to address allegations that former President Donald Trump mishandled classified information. The crimes covered by the bill include obstructing an official proceeding, unlawful retention of national defense information, unlawful disclosure or improper handling of classified information, acting as a foreign agent, and compromising national security. The bill would remove classified access from the date of indictment until the charges are dismissed or the person is found not guilty. The bill extends its authority to the president, vice president, members of Congress, candidates for federal office, and all federal employees. The bill has been referred to the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability and the Committee on House Administration. [Extracted from the article]

The articles of impeachment accused Mayorkas of failing to carry out federal statutes related to immigration and violating his oath of office.

House Republicans have initiated an effort to impeach Homeland Security Department Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, citing an increasing number of migrants and illicit materials crossing the U.S.-Mexico border as justification.

The main accusations against Mayorkas include lying under oath about border control and violating his oath of office by halting border wall construction and releasing detained migrants into the country.
