A memo was released by ICE instructing agents to violate the U.S. Constitution. ICE told officers and agents that they can forcibly enter homes without warrants signed by judges. The memo was from ICE Acting Director Todd Lyons, was shared with Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn) by two whistleblowers.

Flowers at Henderson Canyon Rd Wildflower Area are still looking great (see from this morning below). However, many from the fall crop of desert sunflowers have peaked. Recent rains are producing a more recent crop of desert sunflowers in this same area. (Photos: Sicco Rood).

Earthquake (4.61M) 48 miles north of us near Indio Hills just a few minutes ago! We received USGS's shake alert in Borrego Springs just moments before feeling the rolling/weaving with a little shake.
This is a bighorn group above Hellhole/Montezuma grade from this afternoon (Video: Sicco Rood).

Border Patrol chief Greg Bovino marches through Minneapolis surrounded by federal agents, shouting at American citizens.
This isn’t about deporting “the worst of the worst.” It’s about deliberately sowing fear and chaos in cities that oppose the Trump regime

It increasingly seems like many of these ICE goons are masking not because they're worried we'll learn who they are out of uniform and more because they're worried what other uniforms they've worn.
I wonder how long it will take the media to catch on to the fact that ICE’s recruiting spree has effectively deputized every white supremacist hate group out there.

Appeasing Trump always produces the opposite result the appeasers are hoping to achieve. There are thousands of examples over decades, but somehow people still don’t get it. Bill Cassidy and Europe found out yesterday. Someone else will find out today, then another tomorrow.

Trump endorses a primary opponent against Bill Cassidy. He sold his soul to confirm RFK Jr, and Trump sticks it to him anyway. This is why it is even more disgusting that these cowards are afraid to stand up to him. He demands total fealty but has no loyalty to them.

Over four decades, the NRA et al softened the ground for the current authoritarian takeover. My hope is that their silence in the face of the government tyranny they screamed about for all those years will bankrupt them in the eyes of the public forever.
I want to point out that the NRA and other anti-government groups had been screaming about the threat of "obey or die" for decades. Yet now that we're here, crickets. That's because they were softening the ground for the present moment.

It's useful to remember this guy sees himself as the grandest of showmen, first and foremost. He truly believes he's entertaining the fans.
It's the center of his fake world. The only reason it matters is because people like those sitting there let it.
