Armed Only with a Camera, the documentary chronicling the life of the late filmmaker Brent Renaud, premieres Tuesday on HBO. Renaud was the first Western journalist killed during the war in Ukraine. He was shot by Russian soldiers during the 2022 invasion while filming Ukrainian refugees with another photojournalist, Juan Arredondo, who was wounded in the attack. Armed Only with a Camera, directed by Renaud's brother Craig, also a filmmaker, traces Brent Renaud's long career covering conflict and post-conflict regions around the world. We speak to Craig Renaud and Juan Arredondo about Brent's work and memory. "He was a very compassionate person," says Renaud, emphasizing that Brent's focus on conflict zones "was never about just trying to get to the frontlines … He wanted to humanize the people that were there."

We look at the influence of Trump's top budget adviser and the architect of Project 2025, Russell Vought, over the Trump administration's policies and Trump himself. Vought is "the driving force behind the [government] shutdown" and "basically a second commander-in-chief, a shadow president," says ProPublica reporter Andy Kroll, who spent months researching Vought for an extensive profile on the Office of Management and Budget director. During this second Trump administration, Vought's deeply conservative ideology has been unchallenged by a compliant Congress, Kroll explains, placing unprecedented power into the hands of the executive branch.
