Sounds like a fast food franchise. Who will determine who shall eat by light and who by stairs?

Ok, but what can be done to stop it?

From what I can tell, immigration courts are already handling hundreds of thousands of case per year. One might think that the president is just lying here.

Sounds like the one who got fired this week and who are also on this chat may be taking to the NYT. Keep talkingโ€ฆ.

Thank you for amplifying this, Congresswoman. People need to know that yet another incompetent person in this regime is working to destroy the health and safety of the country.

Seder in the time of intergenerational strife The Passover Seder offers an opportunity for parents and children struggling to talk about Israel and Jewish identity. Start with these four questions.

NEW: I wrote about the painful rift growing between two generations of American Jews
โ€”and how the Seder table can be container for our conflicts, bitter and righteous as they may be.

After all: Even the Four Children, each of whom represents a fiercely divergent worldview, are all at the table.

CSPAN2 running a chyron on when Booker will break the record like when LeBron was three buckets away from the all-time points mark.

I'm so proud to have known this bold young Jewish leader, Meirav Batsheva Solomon, since she was born.
This is a powerful rebuttal to the sh'tuyot last night.

Totally kvelling and shepping nachas over here.

Russia invaded Ukraine. This is Putinโ€™s war.

If Trump wonโ€™t say it, the Senate damn well should.

And we will have the chance tonight.

Not lost on me is that the Post is owned by the person who derives his wealth from delivering stuff.

How about 2 45-minute halves with running time that includes some built-in timeouts? Refโ€™s discretion for added time at the end of the half?
