Hey folks,
I went live with Tiffany Carlock just minutes after the news broke that Charlie Kirk had been shot and killed at an event in Utah. We dropped everything else and tried to make sense of what just happened—and what it means for all of us living in a country that is increasingly experiencing political violence.

This episode is heavy, so please be sure to take care of yourself.
With urgency,
