.@SpeakerPelosi: "Let me close by saying this: Clearly there's a disparity of shared values here in terms of respecting the dignity & worth of everyone, being concerned about every death... I don't think [Trump] really wants a solution. I think he loves the distraction."

PELOSI: "As a Californian, [it's] shocking the president would say he's going to withhold funding to meet disaster needs of people...most of those fires took place in rural CA...so we're saying to him, you're punishing your own voters...you have no right to withhold those funds."

Interesting - I asked Pelosi about possibility of Trump declaring a national emergency at border, how House would react and whether that’s the way out of the shutdown. “Let’s see what he decides to do,” Pelosi said, holding her fire. She added that Trump may get pushback from GOP

“Let’s see what he decides to do.” Great response.
