This morning reading the Times I saw the breaking news about how Trump’s executive order banning immigrants from the U.S. is being applied–immediately.<\/a><\/p>\n

I’m no longer surprised at my days of outrage punctuated by bouts of nausea. Although this time I was<\/em> surprised that any of the virtually meaningless and illegal Trump orders <\/a>had a visible effect: desperate people with visas and green cards were being stopped at the airports.<\/a> Where, if they managed to land at JFK, they’ve been greeted and assisted by my terrific Congressman Jerry Nadler<\/a> and Brooklyn’s terrific Congresswoman Nydia Vel\u00e1zquez<\/a>.

(Ellen liked how I said what I said, so…see above.)<\/p>\n
