"We warned this felt like a precursor to justify assassination," said Jodie Ginsberg of the Committee to Protect Journalists.
Today he was killed in a targeted strike on a tent housing reporters.

If you're in England, don't forget that there are local elections in some parts of the country today! Low voter turnout means it's more likely that extremist parties like Reform win - so please take a moment out of your day to vote!

I took a break from work to watch the Zelenskyy/Trump meeting.
1) Sincere apologies to President Zelenskyy. The disrespect you endured was unconscionable.
2) Vance was ridiculous.
3) Trump still thinks he’s making reality TV shows. THIS IS NOT ENTERTAINMENT!
