KLOBUCHAR: Do you agree that it's unacceptable for federal agents to forcibly enter someone's home without a warrant and drag them onto the street without checking that they even have the right person? BLANCHE: Well, it depends on the circumstances. It's not a black and white answer

This pitiful, waffling woman has NO conviction. She's an opportunist, mindlessly following the Republican crowd. Susan Collins: "There's no doubt that ICE needs to improve its performance, but those who are calling for ICE to be abolished are ignoring absolutely vital safety work that ICE does."

Steve Martin paraphrased: I could tolerate any insurance seminar. For days, I could sit there and listen to them go on and on with a big smile on my face. They'd say, "How can you stand it?" I'd say, "'Cause I've been to Trump's State Fair, I can take anything."

Delaney Hall is a 1,000-bed, privately-operated immigrant detention center in Newark, New Jersey. It's managed by the GEO Group under a $1 billion, 15-year contract with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), it is one of the largest immigration detention facilities on the East Coast.

Shut Delaney Hall down, NOW.   Today, @menendez.house.gov and I went to Delaney Hall because of the inhumane conditions we've been hearing about.   What I saw and heard is absolutely unacceptable.

For more than a decade, Stephen Colbert has been one of the top voices of late night—making us laugh and, even more importantly, reminding us who we are and what America stands for. Michelle and I enjoyed being Stephen’s guests—even when the games were rigged—and we’re grateful to call him a friend.
