Seven years ago today, the Saudi Crown Prince directed the murder of VA resident and journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
As we honor Jamal's memory, we are reminded that we must protect reporters around the world as they uncover the truth, inform the public, and promote accountability.

I probably don’t agree with Charlie Kirk on a damn thing, but that doesn’t matter - he’s a husband and a father.
