The International Criminal Court has just announced arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant. HuffPost diplomatic correspondent @AkbarSAhmed says it will also be a major test for the U.S., Israel's closest ally.
After a historic vote in the U.S. Senate, in which nearly a fifth of the chamber voted against arms shipments to Israel, the Biden administration is wrong to believe "people will get over this," says @AkbarSAhmed.

“When you cannot take your family to a parade, you can’t go to the grocery store — I’m thinking about Buffalo — your babies are not safe in schools — Uvalde … we have a problem," said Nina Turner, co-chair of the 2020 Bernie Sanders presidential campaign.

"American exceptionalism is ingrained in our culture. We have the most number of weapons, with an estimated 400 million guns in circulation," write Amy Goodman & Denis Moynihan.

"We are without question number one when it comes to mass shootings."

“This is not about mental health — that happens all around the planet. This is about guns, and easy access to guns,” said Manny Oliver, whose son Joaquin was killed in the Parkland, Florida, school massacre in 2018.

“The American gun lobby, supported by American gun manufacturers, is alive and well,” says Robin Lloyd of Giffords.

“The National Shooting Sports Foundation spends more on lobbying against gun violence prevention measures here in Washington than the NRA.”

Today marks Juneteenth, the oldest known celebration of the liberation of Black enslaved people in the U.S.
On June 19, 1865, federal troops arrived in Galveston, Texas, to announce that Black people in the state — the last area to abolish slavery — were freed under the 1863 Emancipation Proclamation. Across the state, liberated Black people abandoned their sites of enslavement.
In the years after liberation, many Black Americans held picnics, parades and gave speeches annually to recognize their freedom. More elaborate celebrations were held in later decades, such as rodeos, street fairs, formal balls and ball games.

Rep. @IlhanMN on the SOTU: "I expected there to be an acknowledgment of the workers that he just used as political football—I expected there to be some imagination, a plan. It really felt like a pedestrian address, and I was taken aback by the lack of planning, vision & interest"
In his speech last night, President Trump again called Iran the world's leading state sponsor of terror, denouncing its "radical regime." Rep. Ilhan Omar responds: "This is a president who has cozied up to Saudi Arabia… This president is a liar-in-chief"
#SOTU #DNlive
It was "really difficult" to be in the room during the State of the Union when Trump disparaged immigrants, says Rep. @IlhanMN. "For the president to continue to demonize immigrants and speak of aliens and not realize that seeking asylum isn't illegal is really devastating" #SOTU

Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley, Senate Judiciary Committee chair, is delivering opening remarks. He says he "laments" how this hearing comes about, apologizes to Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, accuses attorneys for Deborah Ramirez and Julie Swetnick for "stonewalling"
Sen. Chuck Grassley pointedly quotes Joe Biden's comments during Clarence Thomas's 1991 confirmation hearing to justify why he believes no FBI investigation is warranted for sexual assault accusations against Brett Kavanaugh #KavanaughHearings
