House Speaker Mike Johnson is unveiling a plan for foreign aid, calling for four separate bills with funding for Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan and other priorities. Johnson explained his plan after a closed-door GOP conference meeting Monday after months of delay. Each bill would be voted on separately before the end of the week, Johnson said.        The House is expected to send articles of impeachment against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas to the Senate today. The move will force the Democratic-led Senate to take up the matter of impeachment against Mayorkas. Republicans in the House impeached Mayorkas in February over his handling of the U.S.-Mexico border.       Jury selection will continue today in Donald Trump's historic hush money trial. More than 50 potential jurors were dismissed Monday after saying they could not be fair and impartial. Trump is accused of falsifying business records to cover payments made to adult film actress Stormy Daniels before the 2016 election.       Severe thunderstorms will continue to make their way across the midwest today. An area from Rochester, Minnesota to Little Rock, Arkansas is expected to be affected by the powerful storms. Hail, damaging wind gusts and even a few tornadoes are possible in some areas.        According to ESPN, USA Basketball is finalizing its 2024 Paris Olympics roster. The roster includes Warriors guard Stephen Curry, Lakers forwards LeBron James and Anthony Davis, Suns forward Kevin Durant, Celtics forward Jayson Tatum, and Sixers center Joel Embiid.        NASA is confirming that an object that crashed through the roof of a Florida home last month came from the International Space Station. Part of a cargo pallet loaded with 58-hundred pound of old batteries hit the Naples home March 8th. The pallet was expected to burn up in Earth's atmosphere and now scientists are looking to find out why their calculations were wrong.
