A pilot just flew through one of the strongest aurora storms in years — and saw the sky explode in color. From the cockpit of a Boeing 787, pilot Matt Melnyk had a view like no one else. Flying at 37,000 feet over Manitoba, he watched as the auroras filled the entire sky.

The party of law and order literally just wrote themselves a memo that says they don't have to follow the 4th Amendment.
That's right, ICE intends to perform illegal search and seizures without a warrant.
Add that to the list with "we had to beat up the police on Jan 6 to defend our democracy".

Any member of Congress who votes on a piece of legislation that directly or indirectly gives money to ICE at this point is a traitor as far as I'm concerned. They immediately go on the traitor list permanently if they cast that vote. I'm sorry. That's just how it works.

These Dems are traitors to rule of law. They should be charged w/treason along with every R in the House. Hopefully, one day.
A small band of moderate House Democrats teamed with Republicans to pass a bill to fund DHS, overcoming a revolt by most Democrats furious about ICE’s operations in Minneapolis and other U.S. cities.
House passes sprawling spending package as Democrats split over ICE funding
The House voted separately on DHS funding and another package of bills to avoid a partial shutdown and repeal a law that allows certain GOP senators to sue DOJ for $500,000.
