'Squad' erupts in fury as Trump takes bold action against Iranian nuclear threat
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Members of the congressional “Squad” unleashed sharp criticism of President Donald Trump after he ordered a barrage of missile and bomb strikes on Iranian nuclear sites late Saturday.
Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., was the most vocal of all, tweeting several times about the offensive.
Responding to cryptocurrency exchange CEO Arjun Sethi’s comment about U.S. “elites” being most united by war “especially against Muslims in the Middle East,” Tlaib remarked, “Yep and it’s so f—ing sick.”
“President Trump sending US troops to bomb Iran without the consent of Congress is a blatant violation of the Constitution. The American people do not want another forever war,” Tlaib added in a separate message.

“Instead of listening to the American people, Trump is listening to War Criminal Netanyahu who lied about Iraq and is lying once again about Iran. Congress must act immediately to exert its war powers and stop this unconstitutional war.”
She also retweeted right-wing Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., who had commented “this (strike) is not constitutional.”
Squad Rep. Delia Ramirez, D-Ill., echoed Tlaib’s concerns about “endless war,” and called Trump and Netanyahu “warmongers.”
“It is the people who suffer the illegal & irresponsible actions of authoritarian leaders,” she said. “Only Congress has the power to declare war. We must act to protect our safety and shared humanity.”
Rep. Gregorio Casar, D-Texas, a newer member of the far-left congressional group, claimed it is “illegal” for Trump to act as he did.
“Congress should immediately pass a War Powers Resolution to block Trump from carrying out an unconstitutional war,” the Austin lawmaker said.
“My entire adult life, politicians have promised that new wars in the Middle East would be quick and easy. Then they sent other people’s children to fight and die endlessly. Enough.”
The most recognizable Squad member, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., called Trump’s decision “disastrous” and said striking Iran without congressional authorization “a grave violation of the Constitution and Congressional War Powers.”

“He has impulsively risked launching a war that may ensnare us for generations,” Ocasio-Cortez went on, adding that Trump has established clear “grounds for impeachment.”
Though not a member of the Squad, Rep. Sean Casten, D-Ill., also made an impeachment call Saturday.
Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., reiterated other Squad members’ criticisms, adding Trump “reckless(ly) escalate(ed)” the conflict between Israel and Iran.
“Congress must vote immediately on Rep. Thomas Massie and Sen. Tim Kaine’s War Powers resolutions when we return to session.”
Omar also shared a quote from Bill Clinton, saying prior to the strike that Trump should “diffuse” the situation and that Netanyahu has “long wanted to fight Iran.”

Rep. Ayanna Pressley, the Boston lawmaker who also identifies with the Squad, said Trump violated the Constitution and risking innocent lives.
In Pittsburgh, Rep. Summer Lee said Trump is “acting fully outside of his authority and is once again trampling on the Constitution.”
“This is an illegal and terrifying escalation. Dropping bombs on Iran brings us closer to war, not peace, and he is putting millions of lives at stake. Congress must immediately pass our War Powers Resolution to rein him in.”
Lee mocked Trump as “your hypocritical ‘anti-war’ president who just illegally struck Iran and is putting countless lives at risk.”

Later Saturday, Sen. Markwayne Mullin, R-Okla., said the Squad and others crying out about the War Powers Act, saying that courts have ruled it refers to deploying troops, not what Trump has done.
“If we are attacked, the commander-in-chief has the authority and ability to protect Americans at home and abroad if we feel threatened or attacked,” Mullin said.
“He’s keeping America safe,” he told “Hannity.”

A mother charged with two counts of murder after the deaths of her two young children agreed Monday in Rutland County Superior Court to be transferred to Massachusetts, where she will face the charges.
The Massachusetts State Police have charged Janette MacAusland, 49, with murdering her two children, ages 6 and 7, after they were found dead at their home in Wellesley, Massachusetts, Friday.
According to a Bennington police press release, MacAusland arrived at a relative’s home in Vermont on Friday night with a neck injury, bleeding and appearing “highly distraught.”
The relatives called the Bennington police, who then prompted police in Wellesley, Massachusetts, to check on MacAusland’s children. Both were found dead. No details have been released about the cause or manner of death.
The Bennington Police Department arrested MacAusland and took her to Marble Valley Correctional Facility in Rutland, where she has been held without bail.
Appearing virtually in court Monday, MacAusland agreed to waive her right to a hearing and be immediately transferred back to Norfolk County in Massachusetts.
“She’s decided that the best thing is to get back to Massachusetts as soon as possible and address these charges,” Jeff Rubin, her attorney, said at the hearing.
The children’s deaths follow a custody battle between MacAusland and her former husband, according to the Associated Press. MacAusland’s husband filed for divorce in October after nine years of marriage and sought custody of the children and family home.

Every now and then on The Judi and EJ Show a topic comes up that reminds you why radio is still the best medium on earth.
Ice cream will do that.
It started a couple of weeks ago when we spent an hour on products that nobody makes anymore — the ones you miss so much that you find yourself doing late night internet searches hoping to find a closeout website or a forgotten store somewhere that still has a few left. Kyle Forcini — our on-air partner and producer — brought up Turkey Hill Graham Slam Ice Cream. A Turkey Hill partnership with the Phillies a few years back that landed at Acme Markets across New Jersey. Then the partnership ended. And the Graham Slam disappeared.
Kyle had not had it in almost a decade.
I had some extra time that day. So I drove over to Pennsylvania, found a Giant grocery store — the only place the research said still carried it — and came back with a carton of Kyle’s all-time favorite ice cream.
I texted him when I got it. His response was one word.
WOW.
Later that day he sent me a photo of himself eating it. That made my whole day. Sometimes the smallest gestures land the hardest.
So today I went back to that same Pennsylvania Giant store to get him another carton.

Sold out!
Turns out Kyle is not the only one who remembers Graham Slam. That ice cream has a following — and right now they are all showing up at the same Giant store in Pennsylvania.
The phones lit up
We opened up the lines today and asked listeners to share their favorite New Jersey ice cream shops. The response was immediate and enthusiastic — which should surprise nobody because New Jersey takes its ice cream seriously.
Brenden from Delran pointed us to the Ice Cream Bar in Delanco, Burlington County. John in Helmetta had strong feelings about Causeway Ice Cream in South River, Middlesex County — his order is always soft serve with sprinkles. Christine over in Bensalem called in to represent Ice Cream on 9 in Howell, Monmouth County and specifically said get the pistachio. Dot in Nutley told us about Graham Central Station — found at Applegate Farm in Upper Montclair, Essex County. Fitting that a Graham-related ice cream came up given where the whole conversation started.
But the place that generated the most conversation was Halo Farm on Spruce Street in Lawrence Township — right around the corner from the station. There was some friendly confusion between Halo Farm and Halo Pubs until Susan from Trenton set everyone straight. Halo Farm is a longtime Mercer County institution — a micro-dairy that processes its own milk on site and produces dozens of super-premium flavors from simple ingredients. Founded in the 1970s. Old school dairy store feel — milk, juices, baked goods and ice cream all under one roof. The related Halo Pub locations throughout Mercer County serve the same ice cream in a more traditional scoop shop setting. If you are anywhere near Trenton and have not been, go.

Three on my personal list this season
There are countless great ice cream shops across New Jersey — more than any single article could cover. But here are three that are on the personal radar for the season ahead.
Thomas Sweet in Princeton — a legendary Princeton institution that has been scooping since 1979. On the list and long overdue for a visit.
Evergreen Dairy Bar on Route 70 in Southampton — right on the edge of the Pine Barrens in Burlington County. A regular stop on Pine Barrens day trips and one of those places that feels like it belongs exactly where it is. Old school roadside dairy bar, the kind that reminds you what summer in South Jersey is supposed to taste like. Learn more about Evergreen in the gallery below.
Jersey Freeze in Freehold — a Monmouth County institution and a name that comes up every time this conversation happens in New Jersey. Our thanks to Matt and Katie there who recently sent a box of creamy treats over to the NJ 101.5 crew through Kylie Moore. Jersey Freeze has clearly earned its reputation.
One more stop to add
Just up Route 31 in Pennington sits the Cream King. Drove past it back in January when New Jersey was locked in a deep freeze — the parking lot buried in snow, the picnic tables stacked and covered, the place completely shut down and surrounded by the kind of cold that makes an ice cream stand look almost poetic.
Well. Spring is here. The only freezing happening at Cream King now is inside their freezers. And soon enough — melting in our bellies.
Kyle — consider this your advance notice. We are going.
