It’s been almost one year since the tragic elementary school mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas. Charlotte Klein [checks in]( with Shimon Prokupecz, CNN’s correspondent who has continued to cover the story, chronicling the “games” authorities tried to play to withhold information, as well as the fallout in the community. The network is spotlighting Prokupecz’s work in a Uvalde-themed special airing Sunday. “Covering this story,” he tells Klein, “has been the hardest thing in my life.” Elsewhere, Brian Stelter [chats]( with Vanity Fair’s Caleb Ecarma and Bulwark columnist Amanda Carpenter about the exploding right-wing media ecosystem—and whether Fox News can keep its grip on the GOP base. Plus, Eric Lutz [highlights]( the political questions around Nancy Pelosi’s family ties to Dianne Feinstein and the latest with the California senator’s recent medical leave. Thanks for reading.
