I’m really upset about this. It’s breaking my heart. I didn’t realize any of the cathedral was wooden. This is just so awful.
And we did our taxes last week and owe a ridiculous amount of money even though we made less last year than the previous year and paid more in taxes. It is a direct result of the 10k cap on what we are allowed to deduct.

Trump is speaking in the city I used to work in. So glad I don't work there anymore. Bad day to give a speech from a place called Burnsville.

I realize that ND isn't an 'american' thing but out of respect, he should have curtailed his speaking engagement today. I know he doesnt give a shit, its just infuriates me even more, especially when something happens here, Europes leaders are some of the first to lend support.

He starts by talking about the Notre Dame cathedral fire, says “it looks like it’s burning to the ground,” drawing gasps from the crowd here."

So much beauty and history! It's more than just a building. I know, right? It’s a weird thing to feel so sad about a building, especially when I’m not religious. But it’s the symbol and the history and I know how much it means to Parisians. And then I think of all the opportunity I’ve had in my life to travel and see things like the Notre Dame and that makes my tear up. I swear my period is over, but gah. I am not religious but I feel the verge of tears over this. I can't imagine what others are feeling who are religious, who live in the shadow of that amazing church. The art, the history, the relics. Such a loss, and during a holy week of all times. Just heartbreaking.

Any idea if the Senate would have the support to pass this? I'm assuming not since she's a presidential candidate and the GOP won't want any of them to have any major accomplishments to point to but I'd love to be surprised.

Redacted Mueller Report to be released Thursday morning: ETA: The third Thursday in April is National High Five Day. Coincidence? I'm seeing Preet Bharara that night. Perfect timing!

That's so sad! I have fond memories of visiting the Cathedral in High School. I hope they get it put out quickly. Same. Paris was my first experience with international travel in high school and the Cathedral left a lasting impression.

There's a picture going around twitter of Notre Dame from the air, and it's devastating. The roof is completely gone.

The footage of today’s fire is nothing short of heartbreaking. To the people of Paris & France: know that America stands with you.”

My parents live a town or two over, I warned my mom that he around. His comments about Notre Dame reminds me how sad he is intellectually And then there is Notre Dame (university) who announced that Paul Ryan is going to be guest professor next year. My H and I are angry - may have to reconsider what we donate this year

My heart goes out to the French people. Right now they're saying one firefighter has been seriously hurt. There apparently is still some hope for the towers.
