Three little kids and a teacher were shot and killed at their school today in Bend, Oregon. Two more were injured. Our hearts are broken and we’re angry. It’s disgraceful that extremists keep blocking critical, lifesaving laws while kids die in their classrooms. America can do better. It must.

I’ve covered Trump’s arch for nearly a year. I’ve watched officials reveal their plans to federal commissions and tracked them in court. Nobody, until today, made any suggestion it would be a “military complex.” But Trump has used a similar strategy to defend his ballroom.
