Senate Confirms Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to SCOTUS

The Senate on Thursday confirmed Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court. She'll become the first Black woman to serve on the nation’s highest court once she’s sworn in as Justice Stephen Breyer’s replacement. (For at least the next few months, Jackson is expected to continue serving as a federal judge on the District of Columbia Circuit Court of Appeals.)

Senators voted 53-47 in favor of her confirmation. All Democrats were joined by three Republicans ― Sens. Susan Collins (R-ME), Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), and Mitt Romney (R-UT) ― in voting for Jackson’s confirmation.

How do you feel about KBJ's SCOTUS confirmation?

How You Can Help Ukrainian Refugees

A humanitarian crisis is unfolding in Ukraine following Russia’s invasion, which has featured fierce fighting between Russian and Ukrainian forces with civilians frequently caught in the crossfire.

The scale of the war and the ensuing refugee crisis are at a level unseen on the continent of Europe since World War II.

Russia’s military has been accused of war crimes including summary executions of civilians; indiscriminate shelling that hits hospitals, residential areas, retirement communities, schools, and religious facilities; rape; forced relocations; and firing on humanitarian corridors for civilian evacuations. 

Here, we offer various vetted ways you can help, including:

  • The UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF) is providing emergency health, hygiene, and education supplies to communities in eastern Ukraine, in addition to delivering safe water, and supporting psychosocial care teams for children. UNICEF is accepting donations.
  • The Kyiv Independent is a media outlet launched to uphold the principles of independent journalism and a free press that has provided extensive English-language coverage of the war in Ukraine. It has a GoFundMe page that’s accepting donations.
