Picturesque #Marshfield, Wisconsin is a town a few hours north of Madison with a population of almost 19,000. Made the trip up here twice now recently for two different stories - one about hunters, and another featuring Sen. Ron Johnson. #midterms #politics #wisconsin #decision2022 #tvnews (at Marshfield, Wisconsin) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cke6ob8Ouce/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The last time I covered a Michigan primary was back in March 2020 and then the world ended and I didn’t go anywhere else for a long time. Happy to be back on the road this week covering Michigan #MIGov and #MI03 and Michigan Primary 2022. #Decision2022 (at Grand Rapids, Michigan) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cg7U9ajrBD-/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Back home in America now but still reflecting on these last few weeks back in Ukraine. It’s been one of the biggest honors of my career to travel here on two extended trips this year to try to get stories out about people here to the rest of the world. Behind the scenes, there’s a tremendous team involved in every report you see from here. Thankful to work on this trip with colleagues like correspondents @ellison.barber and Ali Arouzi, photogs @inthr3e and Mohamed Muslemany, our incredible team of local Ukrainian producers who we rely on tremendously to function in every way, our security teams, drivers, engineers, and everyone back in the states who actually get us on television. Above all though I’m forever grateful to the Ukrainians who stop to spend part of their days opening up and telling us their stories and showing us how this war is still very much ongoing for everyone in this country and how the repercussions for the rest of the world are so incredibly real. #Ukraine (at Ukraine) https://www.instagram.com/p/CfCMgKxrEJ6/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The Central House of Culture in Irpin, Ukraine was an iconic performance and gathering space in the community. Ukrainians describe the brutal shelling here as part of Russia’s deliberate attempts at dismantling the country’s cultural institutions and attacking Ukrainian culture. After the fires went out here, musicians have still been returning and playing inside the charred theater to prove that their art can’t easily be erased. An official leading the city council’s cultural department told us this (translated from Ukrainian): “We want you to understand that we’re Ukrainians — the bombs, the rapes, the destructions, the mass deaths — this will not scare us. In these ruins we will play, we will sing, we will dance, we will show the whole world that we want to live.” #Ukraine @ellison.barber @inthr3e (at Центральний будинок культури місто Ірпінь) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ceylsy3KSp-/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
