As his Republican-led impeachment for his handling of the southern border heads to the Senate today, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas will testify before lawmakers about the agency's budget. Republicans on the Homeland Security Committee are taking issues with what they say are shortcomings in Mayorkas' budget request for the next fiscal year.        The Supreme Court will hear oral arguments today to consider if the Sarbanes-Oxley Act applies to the January Sixth rioters. The justice department has charged over 330 rioters with the 2002 law that makes it a crime to "corruptly" obstruct or impede an official proceeding. This is the first time the law has been used when evidence tampering was not involved with the case.       The House of Representatives is looking to put a financial squeeze on Iran after its massive missile and drone attack against Israel over the weekend. Three bills were brought to the floor Monday aiming to impose penalties on Tehran and its proxies in the Middle East. They include efforts to disrupt the Chinese purchase of Iranian oil and cutting off Iran from using the U.S. financial system.       A former Marine from California will spend the next nine years behind bars for the firebombing of a Planned Parenthood clinic. The Justice Department announced the sentence for Chance Brannon Monday. Brannon, along with Tibet Ergul, also of California and Xavier Batten, of Florida, admitted to planning attacks on abortion clinics, the DOJ says.        Boeing held a presentation on Monday outlining quality and safety testing on its 787 Dreamliner and 777 aircraft. This comes after months of scrutiny and a week after a new engineer claimed the plane company is taking shortcuts to speed up production. The presentation outlined the company's stress and safety tests for the 787. The engineer along with another whistleblower and an independent safety expert will speak to the senate on Wednesday about Boeing.       Social media platforms are "not inherently suitable for youth," say top psychologists, and tech companies and lawmakers need to do more to protect kids' mental health. The American Psychological Association said Tuesday that endless scrolling and push notifications are particularly risky for young people whose brains are still developing.
