1/ Trump traveled to Pittsburgh today shortly after the first funerals were held for the 11 victims of the mass shooting at Tree of Life synagogue. Pittsburgh mayor Bill Peduto, who explicitly asked Trump not to visit, did not appear with Trump. Mitch McConnell, Paul Ryan, Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, and Pat Toomey all declined to appear with Trump. More than 1,000 people declared Trump "unwelcome in our city and in our country." Trump, meanwhile, said: "I really look forward to going. I would have done it even sooner, but I didn't want to disrupt any more than they already had disruption." (CNN / NPR / Washington Post)
