Trump, the oldest man ever elected president, is showing more signs of age and fatigue. His official schedule starts later in the day and he has held 39% fewer public events than during the same period in his first term. @katierogers @dylfreed

This is so tragic, so unnecessary, these poor guardsmen should never have been deployed. I live in DC and watched as they had virtually nothing to do but pick up trash. It was for political show and at what a cost.
Multiple people have been shot in Washington, DC, including at least one National Guardsman. President Trump has been briefed on the situation.

Veterans from every branch are speaking out. Senator Mark Kelly is being threatened for reminding troops their oath is to the Constitution, not a president. This isn’t justice. It’s intimidation. Honor your oath. Defend democracy. Don’t give up the ship.
