This year’s Pulitzer Prizes have been announced. Reuters won the Investigative Reporting Pulitzer for its exposé of the lax regulations that help fuel the fentanyl trade — congratulations to former Democracy Now! producer Laura Gottesdiener, one of the Reuters reporters who won the award.

And renowned Palestinian poet Mosab Abu Toha won the Pulitzer Prize for Commentary for his “essays on the physical and emotional carnage in Gaza that combine deep reporting with the intimacy of memoir to convey the Palestinian experience of more than a year and a half of war with Israel.” At least 31 of Abu Toha’s family members were killed by Israel in Gaza. He’ll be joining us later in the broadcast.
