GBH News reporters have been at work over the weekend in the wake of the shooting at a rally in Pennsylvania where former President Trump was injured.
GBH News is a local newsroom in Boston, Massachusetts, so we don't have our own reporters in Washington DC or on the campaign trail with candidates; we depend on our colleagues at NPR and other affiliates for that coverage.

"Donald Trump’s campaign said in a statement that the former president was “fine” after a shooting at his rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. A local prosecutor says the suspected gunman and at least one attendee are dead."

It's so interesting: I have a lot more access to ebooks than physical books, but I still really like physical books even if they are now a minority in my reading diet.
