Q: There is a group of bishops that just put out a statement saying the Pope isn't expressing his opinion, he's preaching the Gospel. What do you say to that? TRUMP: Well, I want him to preach the Gospel. I'm all about the Gospel. But ...

Reporter: "Why are you fighting with the pope?" Trump: "I have to do what's right…I have nothing against the pope, his brother is MAGA all the way. I like his brother…The pope made a statement, he says Iran can have a nuclear weapon." Reporter: "He didn't say that."

Rick Scott: "Fund ICE. They're the ones that are stopping these illegal aliens from raping our daughters."

A three-year-old girl was separated from her mother by ICE and then placed into foster care where she was sexually abused. Her father is a legal permanent U.S. resident. The courts delayed his fingerprints for months, not allowing him access to his daughter. "A caregiver noticed the child’s underwear was on backward, according to the lawsuit. The girl then told them she was abused multiple times and it caused bleeding. Federal officials told the father that there had been an “accident.”

So apparently Pam Bondi was blindsided by her firing! Does anyone feel BAD for her? Yes or No 👇👇💙

Trump: We can't take care of daycare. We're a big country, we have 50 states, all these people, we're fighting wars. It's not possible for us to take care of daycare, Medicaid, Medicare, all these things

This is why Republicans are trying so hard to suppress the vote through their pathetic SAVE act. Maybe next time, do a better job running the country so most of the country doesn’t end up hating you.

BREAKING: HELL YES! Delta Air Lines announces an immediate end to its special privileges for members of Congress until the MAGA government shutdown ends. Now they'll have to suffer with the rest of us peasants... “Due to the impact on resources from the longstanding government shutdown, Delta will temporarily suspend specialty services to members of Congress flying Delta,” Delta stated. “Next to safety, Delta’s No. 1 priority is taking care of our people and customers, which has become increasingly difficult in the current environment.” The dedicated service desk in question allows lawmakers to obtain government rates for trips, make ticketing changes at the last minute, and book multiple seats on multiple flights on the same day to make it easier for them to come and go for votes. The decision to end the special treatment for members of Congress comes as airport lines have grown ludicrously long in recent days due to a failure by the Trump administration to reach a deal on DHS funding. The TSA falls under DHS so the partial shutdown has them understaffed and stretched thin. Many employees are going without pay and over 400 have quit. “TSA officers just received $0 paychecks. That is simply unacceptable. It’s difficult, if not impossible, to put food on the table, put gas in the car and pay rent when you are not getting paid,” several airline executives wrote to Congress earlier this month. At the Hartsfield Jackson International Airport in Atlanta alone, travelers were urged to a lot at least four hours to pass through TSA. Under total Republican control of our government, everything is falling apart. Illegal wars are being waged overseas as our domestic situation spirals into chaos. Trump can't even keep our airports orderly. Rather than strike a deal with Democrats to end this burden on the American people, Trump has flooded his undertrained, violence-prone ICE agents into airports around the country. They're predictably terrorizing and detaining innocent people already. On top of that, he's now calling for the DHS funding to be tied to his voter suppression bill, increasing the likelihood that this shutdown stretches on. If the rest of us have to deal with the negative consequences of Republican leadership, the least that the airlines can do is make them feel our pain! Please ❤️ and share to thank Delta!

Update: Yesterday, we filed a lawsuit to block the biggest TV merger in history (Nexstar + Tegna). That sparked a sprint by Nexstar to try to close the deal before a court could stop them. Less than 24 hours after we filed, USDOJ reportedly dropped its investigation, the FCC waived the rules that would normally block a merger this big, and Nexstar announced the deal was closed. Their CEO thanked the FCC chairman by name. Not so fast. This morning, I joined a group of AGs and filed an emergency motion asking the court to freeze this merger to give it time to hear our case. This merger deserves a full hearing before Nexstar starts raising TV prices on almost half the families in North Carolina and laying off reporters at local news stations across the state. This isn't speculation. Nexstar told its investors it expects to make roughly $135 million a year from charging higher fees to your cable and satellite provider, and another $165 million from "synergies" - their word for laying people off. And the law is on our side. When a merger gives one company this much control over a market, federal antitrust law presumes it's illegal. In every single NC market affected by this deal, the concentration blows past the legal threshold. It's not a close call, and that's probably why they tried to skip the part where a judge weighs in. Our emergency motion was just filed. I'll keep you posted.
