Senators are set to decide Wednesday whether to hold a trial on the two articles of impeachment levied against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas by House Republicans.

Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) said Wednesday afternoon he will move to dismiss the charges. However, conservatives continue to push for a full trial, arguing Mayorkas repeatedly violated immigration and border security laws by allowing “millions of aliens” to enter the United States illegally and “unlawfully” remain in the country.

The House sent the articles of impeachment to the Senate Tuesday — about two months after they narrowly passed in the lower chamber.

Senators will be sworn in as jurors at the start of the event, expected to begin at 1 p.m. EDT.

Google Pay will now display card perks, BNPL options and more
Google Pay is rolling out a number of updates that capitalize on its integrations with other Google products, like Android and the Chrome browser. Starting Wednesday, people who check out with Google Pay will be able to see their card benefits and perks before selecting a card; use "buy now, pay later" through partners like Affirm and Zip; and fill in their card details through biometrics or a PIN, instead of by entering their security code. The changes are designed to enhance the consumer experience of using Google Pay and make it a more competitive option against other payment methods, including the developer or retailer's built-in payment system, often powered by businesses like Stripe, as well as the payment services from other tech giants, like Apple, Amazon and PayPal, for instance.

Boeing, NASA indefinitely delay crewed Starliner launch
If you've been looking forward to seeing Boeing’s Starliner capsule carry two astronauts to the International Space Station for the first time, you'll have to wait a bit longer. The mission, which has already been beset by issues with both the rocket and helium tanks, is now delayed indefinitely, NASA said in a statement late Tuesday. There is little else to go on at the moment other than that statement, so it’s unclear whether the helium leak issue in the spacecraft’s propulsion system — which was identified a few days before the CST-100 Starliner was due to launch on May 17 — is the sole cause for the ongoing delay.
