The most breathtaking report you will read about the Capitol siege, by @Karoun⁩ ⁦@CarolLeonnig⁩ ⁦@pkcapitol⁩ & ⁦@byaaroncdavis⁩: How barricaded lawmakers and aides sounded urgent pleas for help as police lost control https://t.co/6j5XYmf730

"I slid behind a row of chairs and looked up as a female representative started to pray. Another member was talking loudly into his cellphone, providing a play-by-play. Several lawmakers were crying.”

Happy Veteran's Day.

In TGJ No. 13, we sent a photographer with the USAF 11th Wing to capture Joint Base Andrews' 54 holes from highly restricted airspace. Because while they may lack in acclaim, military golf courses serve a higher purpose.

There might be no photographer out there more professional, talented and sensitive to the impact of his work than the one who faced *an attempted home invasion* after Tucker Carlson went after him this week. Reprehensible. https://t.co/KclfrGskKc

[Lexey Swall @LexeySwall]

Anyone who has spent 5 min w/ Tristan Spinski knows he is kind & forthright. He’s one of the best humans I know. Never mind an incredible photographer. No one is less deserving of Tucker Carlson’s lies or the threats from Carlson’s dangerous fans.

[Melissa Lyttle @melissalyttle]

Doxxing, threatening phone calls, an attempted home invasion... Journalists jobs are getting more difficult and more dangerous. @tristanspinski, I’m so sorry this is happening to you. People suck. https://t.co/YZHmXauE9j

I don’t think people with staff jobs understand what it’s like trying to get paid as a freelancer. It’s actually like an entire second job. /1
