NEW: A controversial pro-Iran militia is poised to take over 2 of the 5 seats reserved for Christians in Iraq's parliament. After years of hearing Trump and Pence talk about helping Middle East Christians, activists want them to prove they mean it.

ICYMI, the US's top counter-terror partner in Yemen has been repeatedly accused of torturing detainees -- including while Mike Pompeo was overseeing its collaboration with the CIA: huffingtonpost.com/entry/mike-pom…
We might soon see the US government actually talking about those claims. twitter.com/RepRoKhanna/st…

When @RepCicilline asked @SecPompeo whether he’s raised arrests of #Saudi women/allies with the #KSA govt, he said he hasn’t had a chance to talk to them about human rights “lately.” Mr. Secretary, you have a phone. You also have a megaphone. Use them.

In #GAGov, both parties had ho-hum primaries in 2014, competitive primaries tonight. Dem turnout is up 50% from 2014; GOP turnout is about flat.

It was great to meet today some of the 700+ Yazidi students from University of Mosul who are staying in Bashiqa. It's great to see #Yazidi students back in Mosul - something we would never comprehend a year ago!! pic.twitter.com/9iwKLwqfLL
