  • The Senate has rejected Debo Adegbile as President Barack Obama's pick to run the Department of Justice's civil rights division. He drew opposition for his work defending Mumia Abu-Jabal. Seven Democrats voted against the pick.
  • Under pressure from gun control groups, Facebook will block minors from seeing posts about gun sales and will take down posts about gun sales that don't require a background check.
  • A United Nations special envoy was forced to abandon a mission in the Crimean region of Ukraine by apparent armed supporters of Russia.
  • Washington State has issued its first business license to legally sell recreational marijuana.
