Sen Chris Van Hollen & Rep Sara Jacobs have sponsored legislation to limit sales of weaponry to the Emirates as long as it arms the RSF. As Nick Kristof says, "It may be that all we need to do to avert atrocities in Sudan is to speak up."

The Supreme Court asked the wrong questions in today’s gun case. They asked “why shouldn’t drug users have guns?” Instead of “why should drug users go to jail?” My latest in @thenation.com

The POTUS enjoys negative attention, thrives on it, loves every minute of the anger & outrage & terror he instills in our hearts. He won't stop until he's impeached. And neither would his successors. What a damned mess. People are protesting in DC this evening. 🙏🏽
