WWTD? President says he’d have rushed in unarmed to stop Florida school shooter

View this email in your browser Brought to you by USATODAY.com President Trump says he would have run into Stoneman Douglas, without a gun. OK. "I really believe I'd run in there even if I didn't have a weapon, and I think most of the people in this room would have done that, too," President Trump told a group of state governors gathered at the White House  Monday for talks on multiple issues. While berating local law enforcement, Trump also outlined a gun control and school safety program that includes expanded background checks, eliminating "bump stocks," emphasizing mental health issues and arming "highly trained" teachers and school staff.  More: • The lawyer for disgraced Broward County Deputy Scot Peterson says his client has been unfairly described as a "coward" for not racing into the school. • A stunning rainbow appeared over the school as teachers returned for their first day of work. • These are all the companies cutting ties with the National Rifle Association.  • Outspoken survivor Emma Gonzalez has more Twitter followers than the NRA. •  This is what Columbine survivors want Parkland students to know. DACA isn't going anywhere — just yet The U.S. Supreme Court isn't playing ball with the Trump administration on the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program and the fate of nearly 700,000 undocumented immigrants who are part of it. On Monday, the Supreme Court refused to review a key California case dealing with the program. What does the ruling mean for DACA? For now, the program will remain in place, which means thousands of DACA recipients who thought deportation was imminent can breathe a sigh of relief. The president announced in September that he would end the Obama-era program and gave Congress until March 5 to find a solution. That deadline is now off the table.  Ivanka isn't pleased she was asked about sexual misconduct allegations against her dad "I think it's a pretty inappropriate question to ask a daughter if she believes the accusers of her father when he's affirmatively stated that there's no truth to it," Ivanka Trump said during an interview with NBC News in South Korea. "I don't think that's a question you would ask many other daughters." Of course, she isn't just the president's daughter: She's also one of his top advisers. The president has been accused by more than a dozen women of sexual misconduct. He and the White House have denied the allegations. Trump said she believes her father. "I know my father," she said. Filmmaker Kevin Smith suffered a 'widowmaker' heart attack, but he's still 'above ground!' Clerks director Kevin Smith suffered "a massive heart attack" Sunday night, the filmmaker said on Twitter, sharing an apparent photo of himself in a hospital bed . "The Doctor who saved my life told me I had 100% blockage of my LAD artery (aka "the Widow-Maker")," Smith wrote. "If I hadn't canceled show 2 to go to the hospital, I would've died tonight. But for now, I'm still above ground!" If a "widowmaker" heart attack sounds vaguely familiar, it's the same heart attack that kills fictional dad Jack Pearson on the NBC show This Is Us.
