86 senators vote to move forward with Graham Russia sanctions bill

In a massive show of bipartisanship, 86 senators voted to move forward with a Russia and Iran sanctions bill that had been championed by the late Sen. Lindsey Graham.Why it matters: The vote came hours after senators gathered to honor Graham's memory, and immediately following a closed-door meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. The vote was 86-12. Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) was the only Republican to vote against it.It is a procedural vote, but leadership hopes that the strong bipartisan support will allow for an expedited path to final passage.The details: The bill had been led by Graham and Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) and reached more than 60 co-sponsors this month.The legislation would impose 100% secondary tariffs on countries that continue buying Russian oil and gas.The bill also targets Russia's "shadow fleet" — the network of aging tankers used to evade Western sanctions while exporting Russian oil.It was also updated to renew sanctions on Iran set to expire after the end of the year.Between the lines: The sanctions package has long had wide bipartisan support, but concerns from the White House held it up for months.Graham had been the key negotiator with the White House, trying to adjust language to ensure President Trump's signature.After the senator's unexpected death, Trump indicated they would work to get the package done.Zoom in: Some Democrats were hesitant to vote for the package, concerned about Trump's use of tariffs,Zelenskyy and Finnish President s Alexander Stubb gave compelling arguments for the need for the sanctions and tariffs package, arguing that Russia is in a losing position, sources tell Axios.Zelenskyy watched the vote from the Senate chamber.

Legal expert aghast as Trump seeks 'cataclysmic' power grab in Supreme Court appeal

A legal expert is sounding the alarm on a Trump move that seeks the Supreme Court's help with a "nasty" power grab.During an episode of Talking Feds, former U.S. Attorney Harry Litman warned that the Trump administration is seeking to take away states' control of upcoming elections after filing an emergency application with the Supreme Court through the Solicitor General."It's their first effort to get the Supreme Court to weigh in on one of Trump's really pernicious ham-handed efforts to just wrest control of the voting process from states," Litman said. "It's about as nasty as it goes."Trump's Solicitor General filed an emergency Supreme Court application asking the court to vacate a lower-court injunction on an executive order restricting mail-in voting. The executive order would take effect before the November 3 midterms, according to Litman."This would be really cataclysmic for the election," Litman said. "The executive order itself was from a few months ago, and it gives the executive branch an unprecedented — and I think, in the reading of all courts so far — unconstitutional role in the elections."Litman added that Trump is doing it "in a way that would really disenfranchise millions of people, and disproportionately by a large margin, Democrats." He also pointed out that the emergency application is reaching the Supreme Court via the "shadow docket."Until now, the Trump administration "shied away" from appealing its voting losses, "so this is the first one, and surprise, surprise, it's by emergency docket...so now, really unfortunately, this goes boom into the court by the so-called shadow docket."The Supreme Court issued a briefing order after getting the emergency application that gives the states and other challengers until August 3 to file a response, Litman noted.

'Really alarming moment': Trump spy chief's confirmation rattles security expert

'Really alarming moment': Trump spy chief's confirmation rattles security expert

A security expert warned that the confirmation of Trump's new spy chief marks a "really alarming moment."During an appearance on CNN, Paul Rieckhoff said that the confirmation of Jay Clayton as Director of National Intelligence shows that Trump rewards loyalty above all else. Rieckhoff made the warning as CNN panelists spoke about Trump threatening upcoming elections and as Senate votes came in to confirm Clayton as the new head of America's 18 intelligence agencies."Standards don't matter. Competency doesn't matter. Independence doesn't matter. Loyalty matters," Rieckhoff said. "This is a really alarming moment that we shouldn't normalize."Rieckhoff noted that before former DNI Tulsi Gabbard departed, she opposed Trump's actions like the war in Iran and removing its leader, but she was sent to Georgia to "attack elections on behalf of the FBI." Rieckhoff spoke during the segment in which CNN anchor Erin Burnett noted that Trump has made multiple moves to threaten elections, with Rieckhoff noting that Trump seems to be "telegraphing his punches" ahead of the midterms."Now, we've got this guy who's never served in the intelligence community and refuses to accept the elections," Rieckhoff said. "I look at it through the prism of the hundreds of thousands of people in our intelligence community. We are at war with Iran, and Trump wants to attack more places."Clayton's confirmation "really jeopardizes our national security," Rieckhoff added. He worried that "we're under constant threat in the homeland," and Clayton's "lack of basic competence" doesn't help.Rieckhoff added that Clayton's confirmation "has our enemies celebrating."
