This is horrible. We need to get him back out before they illegally send him to another country.

It'd be nice if Congress made that clear.

Exactly. Plus, exhibit A for Iran not agreeing to give up any of its enriched materials should be Ukraine, who GAVE UP its weapons in exchange for a promise that it would be protected. Why any country would do the same with that as your example is beyond me.

They should have responded that "we'll wait for you to pull those specific provisions up." I suspect they would have been waiting a while.

I always enjoy watching the Spelling Bee - these kids can spell words that are crazy hard. The newish vocabulary round throws me a bone because I've actually heard of (and can spell) most of these words. Congrats on 100 years!

I always felt that it was the sort of show I should like, except I never did.

To paraphrase Inigo Montoya. You keep using that word "seriously." I do not think it means what you think it means.

This big beautiful bill is full of horror shows - talk about a trojan horse!

Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” isn’t just about tax cuts it quietly guts federal protections and reshapes entire agencies. Here’s what’s buried inside:

Did you know that the ICE detention center in Newark was opened without permission from the city & in violation of state law? Mayor Baraka has been fighting to close it down.

Repost this to THANK Mayor Baraka!

Statement by Governor Phil Murphy on the Arrest of Newark Mayor Ras Baraka
I am outraged by the unjust arrest of Newark Mayor Ras Baraka earlier this afternoon outside of Delaney Hall in Newark.
Over the past few months, Mayor Baraka, as well as advocates, faith leaders, and members of our Congressional delegation, have protested the opening of a private immigration detention center in the city of Newark. Four years ago, I was proud to sign a law banning private immigration detention centers in New Jersey. And just last week, my Administration was leading the fight to defend that law before the Third Circuit Court of Appeals.
Mayor Baraka is an exemplary public servant who has always stood up for our most vulnerable neighbors. I am calling for his immediate release by federal law enforcement.
