The budget is expected to pass the House.

Just corrected a math test and realized I had forgotten to included a line for the parents to sign below. Annoying mistake! But, telling myself now that at least I didn't tank the global economy and erased trillions of dollars. That's some comfort.

"Cook has spent the past 10 days worried sick about her #students in the 3rd, 10th and 11th grades at her #school. Saturday morning she posted a statement on #Facebook...

"We are in direct communication with our students. Let me be clear: they are not “being medically evaluated.” They are not being “questioned as potential victims.” Calling a detention center by another name does not change what it is.""

Screen shot of a Facebook post (edited for length): ...As the principal of these students, I need to speak plainly. Our three students who were taken by ICE were doing everything right. They had declared themselves to immigration judges, attended court on their assigned dates, and were following the legal process. They are not criminals. They have no ties to any criminal activity. They are loved in their classrooms. Their family has worked at the nearby “Old McDonald’s” petting zoo and dairy farm for 15 years. They lived in a house on the same road as a home ICE had a warrant for... The fact that our students were handcuffed and put into the same van as the alleged criminal from down the street is unconscionable. When I think of my third grader’s experience, my stomach twists... that shared shock that has unified our community in the call for our students’ release. We are in direct communication with our students. Let me be clear: they are not “being medically evaluated.” They are not being “questioned as potential victims.” Calling a detention center by another name does not change what it is. We deserve better than spin and misinformation. My teachers and my students are already hurting. Please, think about how long every hour feels for a third grader in a detention center. The wait had already been too long a week ago. I have no other agenda. Please release my students and their mother back to our community. Jaime Cook Prek-12 Principal, Sackets Harbor, NY

'#HandsOff' rally in #PortsmouthNH: Thousands slam #Trump and his policies

PORTSMOUTH — "Large crowds of protesters gathered Saturday at "Hands Off" rallies in Seacoast New Hampshire and Maine and across the nation, speaking out against President Donald Trump and his administration's actions.

"Large crowds in downtown Portsmouth lined both sides of the length of Congress Street, spilling into side streets, exceeding expectations for city police.
Protesters have focused on issues like Trump's tariffs, Trump's actions to end protections for immigrants and transgender people, the dismantling of the Department of Education, cuts to the Veterans Administration, and layoffs of thousands of federal workers.

"Protesters in Portsmouth called for the Department of Government Efficiency to be dismantled, for the federal government to protect #teachers, public #school staff, #Abortionrights, #FederalWorkers, #WomensRights and #LGBTQ+ rights, labeled Trump “#orangeMussolini,” and called for preserving #Medicaid, #Medicare and #SocialSecurity.

“Hands off the Constitution,” one sign said. “Democracy is not for sale!”
Portsmouth crowd grows to thousands
