My fellow Americans, I have some bad news: This is who we are.

"Together with my brother bishops, we condemn political violence, and we offer our prayers for President Trump, and those who were killed or injured," said Archbishop Broglio, the president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops.

Many political and faith leaders, even as they prayed for Trump, also asked for prayers for the country as a whole, and particularly America’s polarized political landscape.

Trump’s campaign said the presumptive GOP nominee was doing “fine” after the shooting, which he said pierced the upper part of his right ear.

We must begin to notice, name and resist the distortions caused by ageism, so that more clear-eyed assessments of President Biden are possible.

Too many people opposing Mr. Trump have adopted an us-vs.-them mentality. Democrats must attempt to bridge the real divisions in the United States.
