Politicians need to stop making excuses for #gunviolence. When you look at gun deaths/mental health/video game use in like-countries, we’re off the charts in just 1 category...almost 22 standard deviations ABOVE the norm. A statistician would tell you this shouldn’t happen. pic.twitter.com/iJJHMw9Lv3

“assuming that this time around the Iranian people can compel their government to bend to America’s will seems — at least to anyone who has spent significant time in Iran in recent decades — fantastical.” twitter.com/jrezaian/statu…

I served as a commissioner for 4 yrs & am deeply concerned that the GOP has often appointed extremists whose ideologies end up discrediting the work of @USCIRF. W/ these two, they’ve outdone themselves. It’s not an exaggeration to say they are both anti-LGBTQ & anti-Muslim bigots twitter.com/hrc/status/997…

How did a Mubarak-era businessman convicted of murder end up as a key investor in President Sisi's scheme for a vast new Egyptian capital city in the desert?
Corruption, revolution, and death. My story:

THREAD: Something in Pompeo’s Iran speech today seemed oddly familiar. A country in the Middle East is accused of lying and cheating, harboring nuclear designs, and being active in regional aggression...

There isn't an easy way. But if Dems have the votes, they should pass a Civil Rights Act of 1991-style law as soon as they regain control of Congress which overrules every party-line 5-4 statutory decision of the last 30 years. It should include the Arbitration Fairness Act. twitter.com/DavidAstinWals…

The women who campaigned for the right to drive in Saudi remain under arrest while DepSec Sullivan met the Saudi FM & "noted the strong US-Saudi bilateral rltnshp & reiterated [their] commitment to strengthen ties further"
Except for 50% of those ties.

1/2 This is a wonderfully clarifying and important piece. One of the ways journalism can be most useful is by distilling a murky reality into plainer and more comprehensible patterns. (Or, separating signal from noise.) This piece does so. twitter.com/AdamSerwer/sta…

Imagine the sort of rube who believes the Trump administration is actually interested in promoting human rights in Iran.
