The group is currently running high-stakes operations in Ukraine to evacuate vulnerable citizens. Elsewhere, Eric Lutz [explains]( how President Joe Biden is expected to turn up the pressure on Vladimir Putin as Russia’s siege on Ukraine reaches the one-month mark.

Finally, Bess Levin [tells us]( how GOP senator Mike Braun is claiming he didn’t mean to say states should be able to ban interracial marriage, despite saying it multiple times. Thanks for reading.
