This is a huge victory for human rights. Ending refueling for the Saudis & UAE is long overdue. We need to see the details, but it's clear congressional & public opposition is working. The Administration knew they would lose a vote in the new Congress. https://t.co/wbOesrnk9J— Ro Khanna (@RoKhanna) November 9, 2018
