‘Gonna be sick’: Sight of nuns at White House instead of Supreme Court proves triggering
Though President Trump’s gathering of House Republicans in the Rose Garden to celebrate the House’spassage of the AHCA dominated the news Thursday, the president also hosted guests to witness his signing ofhisExecutive Order on Promoting Free Speech and Religious Liberty.

That executive order doesn’t really have teeth, though; even the ACLU issued a statement saying, in effect, it wouldn’t bother to sue because there was nothing new worth suing over.
We thought we'd have to sue Trump today. But it turned out the order signing was an elaborate photo-op with no discernible policy outcome.

Even conceding that that signing was littlemore than a photo-op, we’ll take it, if only to see the Little Sisters of the Poor as honored guests at the White House that’s a seismic shift.

The Little Sisters of the Poor received a standing ovation at the White House; hopefully they’re enjoying their evening and not surfing social media.
@Acosta Ever read a tweet and want to scream at the top of your lungs?

@Acosta Define ordeal.

@Acosta Oh the ordeal, they had to fill out a form. The HORROR.

@Acosta This so disgusting on so many levels. A federal judge will block this EO.

@Acosta Speechless.

@Acosta Your long national nightmare of poor people getting health insurance is coming to an end.

@Acosta How about the ordeal of raising children you can't afford. They should be ashamed of themselves. Sickening

@Acosta How can this even be happening? How did America lose the idea of being its brother's keeper?

@Acosta Religion has no place in law and politics, because nobody can make windows into souls (~ER)

@Acosta "Their fight against" contraception requirements – do you realize how ridiculous it sounds to "fight" such a thing?

@Acosta Republicans don't want big goverment except when it comes to a woman's uterus. #resist #ResistTrumpCare

@Acosta I'm gonna be sick. More unwanted pregnancies is JUST what we need. Just make sure that they don't get healthcare.
— kimwagner (@kimwagner) May 4, 2017
@Acosta I wonder how many of those sisters have adopted children from drug addict parents whose praying did no good.
— Matthew (@bmxftre) May 4, 2017
@Acosta Then they better stock up on diapers for the unwanted children they'll be taking care of.

@Acosta Women who are not allowed to have sex shouldn't have a say about contraception, abortion etc. They don't know what they're talking about.
— Sandra (@BerlinSandra78) May 4, 2017
@Acosta Fake believers, spending time with a man who sexually assaults women.

@Acosta Sweet Jesus, I hope they didn't stand too close to him.. u know since he can't control himself…etc

@Acosta How do the nuns feel about @POTUS divorces?
