UP FIRST 05/12/2021

 

First look:
 
  • Israel hammers Hamas leadership in Gaza with retaliation strikes
  • Senators face off over Dem's push to nationalize U.S. elections
  • Liz Cheney's last ditch effort to save her leadership post
  • The CDC's massive miss on outdoor mask guidance is mocked

Israel strikes back at Hamas leaders

HeadlineIsrael strikes Gaza targets as Netanyahu warns militants will pay ‘very heavy’ price

The First take: The military conflict between Israel and Hamas escalated again overnight with the IDF successfully launching targeted attacks on the leadership of Hamas.

HeadlineSenate panel deadlocks in vote on sweeping elections bill

The First take: Will this be the bill that Democrats use to kill the filibuster?  The closer we get to 2022 and midterms, the more desperate Democrats will be to shove this ironically named "For the People Act" down our throats. Meanwhile, the U.K. is all over mandatory voter I.D. for its elections. (See he "bonus" story below.)

HeadlineCheney in defiant floor speech: Trump on 'crusade to undermine our democracy'

The First take: Liz Cheney has been stripped of her leadership post in the House GOP.  But that didn't stop her yesterday from delivering an impassioned speech to try and change the outcome. While it didn't work, no matter where you fall on the controversy it's a good watch.
