Here and there, in recent Daily Kos comments, deaths of celebrities were mentioned.
When I want to know more about what is going on, I like to turn to Wikipedia:

Deaths in 2024
As you can see by Itzl's concerned look, this group is for us to check in at, to let people know we are alive, doing OK, and not affected by such things as heat, blizzards, floods, wildfires, hurricanes, tornadoes, power outages, or other such things that could keep us off Daily Kos. If you're not here, or anywhere else on Daily Kos, and there are adverse conditions in your area (floods, heatwaves, hurricanes, etc.), we are going to check up on you. If you are going to be away from your computer for a day or a week, let us know here. We care!
IAN is a great group to join, and a good place to learn to write diaries. Drop one of us a PM to be added to the Itzl Alert Network anytime! We all share the publishing duties, and we welcome everyone who reads IAN to write diaries for the group! Every member is an editor, so anyone can take a turn when they have something to say, photos and music to share, a cause to promote or news!
This is our current schedule of regular IAN diary writers:
Monday: Youffraita
Tuesday: bigjacbigjacbigjac
Wednesday: Pam from Calif
Thursday: art ah zen
Friday: FloridaSNMOM
Saturday: FloridaSNDad
Sunday: loggersbrat
The little dog is named Itzl.

Apart from Trump, three men were hit.[54] 50-year-old Corey Comperatore of Sarver, Pennsylvania, was killed.[55] Comperatore worked as a project and tooling engineer and was a volunteer firefighter in Buffalo Township.[56][57][58][59] According to his family and Pennsylvania governor Josh Shapiro, he died while shielding his wife and daughters from gunfire.[58][60]
57-year-old David Dutch of New Kensington, Pennsylvania, was shot in the liver and chest, and underwent multiple surgeries to save his life. Dutch is a U.S. Marine Corps veteran. 74-year-old James Copenhaver of Moon Township, Pennsylvania, was also shot.[61][62] U.S. representative Ronny Jackson said that a bullet grazed his nephew's neck.[63]
I wanted to get Corey Comperatore on this list.
And to end with that.
Hugs.
By the way, I do not want anyone to attack Donald Trump, or any Republicans, or anyone.
I want Donald Trump, and all Republicans, to get zero votes.
Zero votes.
That is what I want for them.
Zero votes.
For all the rest of history.
Zero votes for all Republicans.
No attacks of any kind.
No attacks.
Zero votes.
That is what I want.
Hugs.
