Zelenskyy’s 'ammunition, not a ride' moment and the reporting pushback it sparked

Zelenskyy recalled telling U.S. officials he needed ammunition, not evacuation, during the Kyiv siege as Washington offered to pull him out; the claim—first reported by the Associated Press in 2022 from a single intelligence source—drew White House pushback and denials, but went viral and was later corroborated via a Ukrainian embassy tweet. The AP and Zelenskyy’s camp stand by the quote amid ongoing scrutiny from fact-checkers, illustrating the friction between wartime reporting and government pushback while the war persisted.

Sam Darnold's Future in Spotlight Amid Contract Talks and Free Agency Buzz

The debate over the NFL's Comeback Player of the Year award is heating up, with controversy surrounding Sam Darnold's candidacy. Despite having a career-best season with the Minnesota Vikings, Darnold's eligibility is questioned due to the Associated Press's criteria, which emphasize overcoming illness or injury. Joe Burrow, who returned from an injury, is a leading candidate, while Darnold's supporters argue his resurgence from a marginal career should count. The AP's guidance leaves room for interpretation, making the upcoming vote contentious.

AP's Method for Declaring Election Winners Quickly

AP's Method for Declaring Election Winners Quickly

The Associated Press (AP) can declare winners in some states immediately after polls close by analyzing multiple data sources, including AP VoteCast surveys and historical voting trends. This is typically done in uncontested or noncompetitive races where one party has a strong history of winning. The AP ensures not to call competitive races prematurely and waits for sufficient vote counts to confirm outcomes. In states with multiple time zones, the AP waits until all polls have closed before declaring a winner.

"Wisconsin's Election Changes: Private Funding Bans and Statewide Ballot Measures Explained"

The Associated Press called Wisconsin's statewide ballot measures in favor of two constitutional amendments limiting state election processes and funding, as supported by Republicans, after the measures outperformed former President Donald Trump's 2020 performance, even in Democratic-leaning areas. The results reflected a partisan split, with Republican-leaning areas largely supporting the amendments and Democratic areas opposing them. The "Yes" vote for both measures was leading in counties carried by both Trump and Biden in 2020, with supporters making significant inroads in traditionally Democratic-friendly areas.
