🎥🇸🇩 WATCH | Breaking Points details the latest on the brutal war in Sudan where the UAE-backed Rapid Support Forces are advancing in the central Kordofan region toward the city of El-Obeid. Up to 1 million people could face an El Fasher–type massacre in the coming weeks and months, unless the world mobilizes to stop the slaughter. Ryan Grim explains why global attention is absolutely critical: “These are people who are alive who could be saved if the international community can somehow just put a stop to this.” Ryan Grim | Emily Jashinsky

Sen. Chris Van Hollen told Breaking Points he does not accept AIPAC money and says Democrats should be held accountable for failing to challenge U.S. support for Israel’s assault on Gaza. Looking ahead to the 2028 U.S. presidential race, he says it should matter where candidates for the highest office “stood on this question of conscience.” Senator Chris Van Hollen | Ryan Grim | Krystal Ball

Sen. Chris Van Hollen traces his worldview to growing up overseas in a U.S. diplomatic family, and to witnessing firsthand the consequences of American power. He recalls traveling as a young Senate staffer into Kurdish areas near Iraq’s border after Saddam Hussein used chemical weapons, at a time when the U.S. had backed Baghdad. “I believe in the power of America’s example, not just the power of our military,” Van Hollen told Breaking Points, warning that U.S. hypocrisy—then and now—has lasting consequences.

🇺🇸🇸🇩 Pressed on RSF Atrocities in Sudan, State Department Won’t Utter “UAE” At a House Foreign Affairs hearing on crimes against humanity in Sudan, Congresswoman Sara Jacobs questioned the State Department Bureau of African Affairs about extensive evidence that the United Arab Emirates (UAE) is backing the Rapid Support Forces. She cited reporting from: ▪️Reuters ▪️The Wall Street Journal ▪️Amnesty International ▪️A UN Panel of Experts ▪️State Department–funded Sudan Conflict Observatory, ▪️and U.S. intelligence But, when Jacobs asked Deputy Assistant Secretary of African Affairs Vincent D. Spera directly whether the UAE was continuing to provide material support to the RSF, he was unwilling to name the RSF’s chief external backer or acknowledge its role, instead deflecting to vague references to “external actors.” Jacobs pressed further on U.S. leverage, pointing to ongoing arms sales to UAE, including a $1.4 billion sale of helicopter and F-16 parts, and asked why Washington is not using that leverage to stop another large-scale atrocity after some 60,000 people were estimated killed as El-Fasher fell to the UAE-backed RSF following a prolonged 18-month siege. The exchange comes as Rep. Jacobs and Sen. Senator Chris Van Hollen have introduced the Stand Up for Sudan Act, which would block U.S. arms sales to the UAE until it ceases material support for the RSF, which has carried out mass killings and ethnic massacres in Sudan and has been documented using rape, gang rape, and sexual slavery as tools of terror and displacement.

Ryan Grim and Krystal Ball provide a sobering update on Israel’s murder spree in Gaza, where the scale of killing has spiraled beyond control. Over 120 Palestinians were murdered in indiscriminate attacks this weekend. Ryan highlights that this latest bloodshed comes as Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu inserts himself into the U.S.-Iran nuclear talks. Krystal notes that the atrocities have become so blatant that even liberal Zionist voices, like Shaiel Ben-Ephraim, are now calling it what it is: genocide. Ryan Grim | Krystal Ball

The best way to end the horrific war and genocide in Sudan is to get the UAE to stop arming the RSF. As one of the biggest arms suppliers to the UAE, the U.S. has the leverage here – and we need to use it. That’s why I will again try to block the next U.S. arms sale to the UAE.

🎥 “If we’ve learned anything, it should be that you cannot transform a society by force,” Sen. Chris Van Hollen told Breaking Points, warning of the long record of U.S. regime-change failures. The Trump administration, he said, has dropped even the pretense of values-based foreign policy. “If you look at what’s happening across the Middle East and the Gulf states, the corruption is just so gross. Everything they touch, they try to transform into dollars for Trump, his family, and his billionaire buddies.” “In the case of Venezuela, it really is about the oil,” he added.

One of the fastest ways to end the war in Sudan – where 25 million people need aid, 10 million have been displaced, and 5 million are near famine – is for the UAE to stop arming the RSF. That’s why I introduced a bill to cut off U.S. arms sales to the UAE until they do so.

🎥 Ryan Grim asks Senator Chris Van Hollen whether he plans to run for president in 2028. Van Hollen said his focus is on defining what Democrats should stand for, calling “the inequality of wealth and power” the central crisis in the U.S., and citing major tax reform proposals he plans to reintroduce as a key part of addressing it. He also confirmed he recently spoke at Iowa’s Polk County Steak Fry—a long-standing stop for presidential hopefuls—where he argued Democrats must go beyond opposing Trump and show they are “not the party of the status quo,” but willing to break with special interests and fight for working people.

🇺🇸 🇸🇩 Sen. Chris Van Hollen says Congress missed an opportunity to use U.S. leverage to help end Sudan’s war after the Senate Foreign Relations Committee rejected two of his amendments on a bill: 1. Block U.S. arms sales and military transfers to the UAE until it is no longer supporting the RSF. 2. Prohibit U.S. military assistance to any country providing weapons to either side of Sudan’s war. Van Hollen says the U.S. “shouldn’t just be talking” about ending the war, but “actually using our leverage,” adding that the Trump administration “claims they want to do something” while refusing to take “some of the basic actions we could take as a country.” Senator Chris Van Hollen | Julian Andreone

Senator Chris Van Hollen: We are witnessing a humanitarian disaster in Sudan. RSF has been a particularly murderous group. In fact, it's the only party to this conflict that the United States government has determined is committing genocide in Sudan. The primary supporter of the murderous RSF has been the United Arab Emirates, the UAE. And we need to make it clear to the UAE that we will not tolerate them fueling these massacres, this genocide. I, along with 20 of my colleagues, have been urging Secretary Rubio and the Trump administration to say that we're going to pause U.S. arms sales to the UAE, so long as they are arming this murderous, genocidal group, the RSF.

🇸🇩 Human Rights Watch senior UAE and Saudi Arabia researcher Joey Shea said “it is totally unacceptable that the British government, the US government, and the EU are still failing to call the UAE out by name” for its role in supporting the RSF and enabling atrocities in Sudan. She said: “We are three years into this war in Sudan, and the evidence of UAE military support to the RSF is mounting day by day. Allied governments of the UAE continue to rely on the weakest language possible. They are still saying ‘external actors’ are fueling the war and are too cowardly to call the UAE out by name. That is appalling and needs to stop. One of our main recommendations is that the UAE’s allies, particularly the UK, the US, and EU member states, need to call a spade a spade and call the UAE out by name.” Credit: Middle East Eye

⭕️ Ryan Grim on Democrats’ cynical political calculations Grim argues that many Democrats quietly support US strikes on Iran and even regime change, but understand a broader war is deeply unpopular. He says that helps explain why party leaders did not advance a War Powers vote before the attack, allowing it to stall until after the strike. Publicly, Democrats demand explanations and warn Trump is acting “recklessly.” Privately, Grim suggests, they see a political win-win: if the war goes badly or leads to U.S. casualties, Trump pays the price. jeremy scahill | Ryan Grim

Sen. Chris Van Hollen pointed to Pakistan as a stark example of U.S. hypocrisy in foreign policy, citing Washington’s backing of military rule after Imran Khan’s removal. “It’s hard to call Pakistan a democracy,” he said, acknowledging it as one of several examples where U.S. is “saying one thing and doing another.” Under Trump, he added, even the pretense is gone: “You have an administration that just very explicitly has thrown the whole idea that America stands for these principles overboard,” a double standard that “undermines our strength around the world, especially in the Global South.” Senator Chris Van Hollen | Ryan Grim | Krystal Ball

As he puts it, “the long view of history is clashing up against the short-term attention span of Donald Trump and his concoction of neocon plus MAGA foreign policy.” Watch the full discussion from our livestream this morning below, where Scahill and Ryan Grim break down how U.S. policy, regional escalation, and internal Iraqi power struggles are converging. jeremy scahill | Ryan Grim

Canada’s Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand was asked about Canadian arms ending up in Sudan via the UAE. Although she says that she takes this issue “extremely seriously,” she has not stopped the flow of weapons. We know that UAE is arming the RSF paramilitaries, and that Canadian armoured vehicles are being used by the RSF in El Fasher. How long is Canada going to pretend that there isn’t a problem? We continue to call on Anand to suspend military exports to the UAE and investigate how Canadian weapons are fueling genocide in Sudan.

🇸🇩 🏀 “Lobby Kareem. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar has been silent. Magic Johnson has been silent. MJ has been silent. You get one Hall of Famer to come out and say the word Sudan, and it changes this war. I’m not kidding. You get LeBron or Jaylen to come out and say the word Sudan — say it — and you’ll change this war.” Yale Humanitarian Research Lab Director Nathaniel Raymond explains the UAE’s role in Sudan remains politically vulnerable because its global influence depends on Western sports, tourism, and corporate partnerships. Speaking with Drop Site News, Raymond says pressure campaigns targeting the NBA, Manchester City, and Emirati sovereign wealth investments could do more to disrupt the Rapid Support Forces’ (RSF) war effort than stalled diplomatic initiatives. “The NBA can do more here than the United States government,” Raymond said, explaining how the RSF remains heavily dependent on fragile UAE military supply lines and sustained outside funding. “If the UAE feels that they have to choose between Sudan and the parquet floor in the NBA finals, it’s a very easy choice for Mohammed bin Zayed (President of the UAE).” Nathaniel Raymond | Misan Harriman | Ryan Grim | Maysa Mustafa 🔗 Full livestream below.
