As Peter Morris heard gunshots and evacuated his D.C. apartment this morning, he said he saw an injured person.
Morris, who does volunteer fire rescue in his free time, began treating them. “You don’t expect this situation to happen at your house,” he said. wapo.st/4BXcDlH

NEW: I interviewed Matt Lambert repeatedly last year as his bitter condo dispute escalated. He repeatedly criticized building manager James Stuart, whom he killed Thursday.

Trump told me this morning he intends to keep Pete Hegseth as Defense Secretary:
“I have every intention to keep him.”
Trump acknowledged receiving calls from people unhappy with Hegseth, but said, “I get these calls, you know, about him. I don't understand why.”
He also acknowledged it would be easier to confirm a new Defense Secretary before the Democrats take over the Senate in January.

I asked @HaleyforMI about this post- she said in part "I'm just a Democrat for Rogers. I'm still a Democrat. All right. This is a tough decision for a lot of people." #MISen

After her rally with @BarackObama, @amyactonoh told me she hopes President Trump and Vice President Vance will “look at the facts” of the abuse she says she endured as a child, as they have defended the attack ad made by GOP nominee Vivek Ramaswamy’s campaign.
Ramaswamy and Acton have never met in person. Asked what she would say to him, Acton said: “I really have no words for Mr. Ramaswamy. I think there is no low that he wouldn’t sink to.”
“He’s very clearly out of touch. He’s out for himself and his friends, and quite frankly, he’s a danger to my state.”

I asked Secretary Rubio if there was any reason to think the fatal suspected plague case in Russia could be an accidental release of an intentionally modified strain. He said the lab link was concerning, but that it would be "irresponsible for me here to sit and speculate because we just don't have all the information yet."
“I think it's incumbent upon Russia to obviously share more information with the world,” he said. “And maybe, you know, there’s nothing there. Maybe it's bigger than we thought.”

You’ve been hearing a lot about the White House press pool. What IS it? Why does it matter? Hope this helps:

Former WHCA pres here, joining former board colleagues in sharing some thoughts—
For half a century, it’s been the holding of federal courts that it’s not “special” access when the WH generally opens its doors to journalists. Choose-your-news is a freedom the constitution grants to the American people, not to their government.
Emily retweeted
Today’s action revoking access for journalists from CNN, POLITICO, and MSNOW violates the First Amendment. The implications extend beyond these organizations: a standard used to exclude one news outlet because of its coverage could be applied to any outlet in the future. The American people, through a free and independent press, must be able to scrutinize those elected to power, regardless of whether government officials view it favorably. That’s why courts have repeatedly held that once the White House provides access to journalists, it cannot deny that access arbitrarily or based on the content of their reporting. The WHCA calls on the administration to immediately restore our colleagues' access.
