As Donald Trump marked the 400th anniversary of American democracy in Virginia, top Democrats who had stayed away from the commemoration were observing a 400th anniversary of a different kind – one inextricably linked to the founding of the United States. In southern Ghana, US House speaker Nancy Pelosi and 13 members of the Congressional Black Caucus were observing the 400th anniversary of the arrival of enslaved Africans in Virginia. The lawmakers visited the Cape Coast and Elmina slave castles, where hundreds of thousands of captured Africans were forced onto ships never to return. “Our souls have been touched by what we saw there…These profound places are a sobering testament to humanity’s capacity for great evil and also a helpful reminder of the capacity for great resilience, renewal and strength of a people,” Pelosi said in an address to Ghana’s parliament on Wednesday (July 31). The US delegation to Ghana included civil rights icon John Lewis and Ilhan Omar, two on a long list of politicians of color at the receiving end of racist remarks by the current US president.

Last night, Trump responded to the Democratic debates, but the truth is: We already gave him what he wanted. Let’s stop tearing one another apart—and remember that no matter who we nominate, all of us will need to come together to defeat Donald Trump.

PSA to the Beto should run for Senate folks: You're not helping us here in TX. If you're concern trolling, just own it. If you think you're helping, stop. Beto isn't running for Senate in 2020. If he did, it would be counterproductive. Cornyn would attack him for running for Pres

We put in a lot of work to make this state winnable again. Beto put in a lot of work to make this state winnable again. But just anybody won't win it. The Dem running for Gov lost by 13%. It's still an uphill battle, so stop making it harder on us.

When you say Beto should drop out and run for Senate, you imply that our current candidates are weak and can't win. You diminish the people who are trying to flip this state. Work with us, not against us. If you truly care about flipping TX, drop that narrative.

Finally, feel free to use your platforms to promote the candidates we have running. I attached a graphic of them. Also, feel free to donate. Help us flip Texas, not by attacking Beto, but by promoting the people running. #TXSenateRace #Beto2020 #TurnTexasBlue #CanCornyn

I love transparency. I just wait for facts before I talk about them. I’m confident the results of all IG reports will show honest public servants worked hard to protect this country from a threat this president and his enablers won’t acknowledge. And @ me next time, bruh.
