What the Hell Is Wrong With Paul Ryan? (The Nation, more at the link):

What the hell is wrong with Paul Ryan? At a point when the whole world is demanding urgent action to end the Saudi-led bombardment and starvation of Yemen, the Speaker of the House has been scheming to prevent congressional debate on a resolution to get the United States out of a humanitarian crisis.

This is not about partisanship or ideology. As Ryan was blocking action in the House Wednesday, 11 Senate Republicans—including some of the chamber’s most conservative members—voted with Democrats to open the Senate debate on ending US military support for the Saudi Arabia’s assault on Yemen.

The Senate bill was sponsored by Bernie Sanders (I-VT), Chris Murphy (D-CT), and Mike Lee (R-UT)
