My story for @nbcnightlynews from Springfield, Ohio where Haitian immigrants told me they are hurt and scared because of the baseless claims being spread about them by former President Trump and Senator JD Vance.

More than 13k people have been killed in Gaza since Israel began its retaliatory military campaign for Hamas' attack. Dozens are journalists trying to work, care for their families + stay alive. @Tareqshajjaj is one of them. Stunning work by @usatgraphics https://t.co/NBTfzoSyVI
@ramielhanan and Bassam Aramin are part of a club nobody wants to belong to @ThePCFF. Both lost their daughters to the violence that has embroiled Israelis and Palestinians for decades. I spoke with them on @USATODAY’s 5 Things https://t.co/G5S6dDKGAp

In this weekend’s paper:
Trump in legal peril
- Former president pleads not guilty, saying it’s a 'sad day for America'
- Alleged conspirators pose threat if they flip

The U.S. women are still alive at the World Cup.
