If Trump is fine, prove it. If he isn’t, step aside.

Specialist Sarah Beckstrom deserved a long, full life. My heart is with her family, friends, and fellow servicemembers.
Gun violence steals too many futures. We must honor her by fighting for a safer country where all Americans are protected from gun violence.

We’re heartbroken to hear that Specialist Sarah Beckstrom, one of the National Guard members shot in DC on Tuesday, has died. She served her country with courage and dedication. She should still be here, celebrating Thanksgiving with her loved ones.

Will no one stand up to Trump while he berates women journalists? Where is the White House Correspondents Association? Any thoughts from them??? WTAF. Would it be so hard for one of those journalists to say "with all due respect Mr. President, that is uncalled for and inappropriate."
