    Every time Trump posts another reckless tweet and escalates this trade war, American farmers suffer. They're selling their equipment. They're selling their cows. They're seeing their livelihoods disappear. Trump broke his promise to help them.

    Guys, Trump can read a script. But he is a still a proven racist. At this point the only way to describe his words is like this. Our President, who is a racist and fans the flames of hate said the following..

    “When asked, ‘what do we do about the invasion?’ and someone said, ‘we shoot them,’ [Trump] laughed. What is the message to Americans? The laws are different...for certain kinds of people. And if you support me, maybe I’ll look the other way.” —

    This piece from is from just last week. Only in the U.S. would two mass shootings (one of which was definitely race-based) happen in less than a week since. Republicans in Congress still refuse to do anything about it.

    Lives literally depend on you doing better, NYT. Please do.

    Senate Republicans are hiding behind "thoughts and prayers," telling us not to politicize these tragedies. These are the laws they refuse to pass to protect American lives. Call them out on it.

    This president, who helped create the hatred that made Saturday's tragedy possible, should not come to El Paso. We do not need more division. We need to heal. He has no place here.
