I strongly condemn the senseless attack on Charlie Kirk today. Political violence has no place in the United States of America. It further tears our country apart and sets us back versus moving us forward. Violence is always wrong. Period.

In an extraordinary display of public support, heads of state, heads of government, and foreign ministers from all over Europe and Canada are posting in support of Ukraine in response to the Oval Office meeting with Trump, Zelenskyy, and Vance.

[Art Candee 🍿🥤 @ArtCandee]

Brett Baier asks President Zelenskyy on Fox News if he’ll step down after Lindsey Graham said he should:

“With all respect to Lindsey…only Ukrainians vote for their president.”

@DrNeilStone Also: raise your hand if you’re not vaxxed, proud of it, and put children with cancer at risk because you cannot see past your own “me first” BS?

Sincerely,

A writerly 🧵

@DarlingAxe Just sent a first draft to my editors yesterday. I need to do a search on “shrug” because I know I overuse that. Great suggestions!

Prayer request (or however you send love and peace) for this amazing family, who just lost Caroline, their 11yo brain cancer warrior. She’s the little one in this pic—the big one is my own brain cancer warrior. 💔

Proud mama moment: My sophomore got a nearly perfect score on her PSAT. Anyone know anything about #ispeed at @JohnsHopkins? She wants to do the summer program there in biomedical engineering. She’s a brain cancer survivor who wants to be an oncologist. 🎗️
