Disgusted MAGA dairy farmer may ditch GOP after watching Trump chaos

The New York Times profiled a Wisconsin dairy farmer who has been a Republican for decades — but is disillusioned with his longtime party over President Donald Trump's war against the very migrant workers his farm and his community depends on.

"Immigrant workers are the lifeblood of the O’Harrow farm, a four-generation family enterprise with 1,600 cows in northeastern Wisconsin. But many of them will not travel to Mexico to see dying parents, or drive to nearby towns to visit siblings, or let journalists use their names in newspapers, because they are afraid of being swept up in the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown," wrote Sabrina Tavernise. "That they need to hide strikes the O’Harrow family as morally wrong, but also as potentially bad for the country: These workers oversee America’s milk."

​WSJ editors are no fans of Trump's 'bad' move in tense TSA standoff

The Wall Street Journal editorial board tore into President Donald Trump over his new stunt to try to get around the standoff over funding the Department of Homeland Security.

"Before adjourning for a two-week recess, the Senate very early Friday morning reached a deal to fund DHS except for Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection. Both agencies have enough supplemental funds from last year’s tax bill to keep operating, and Republicans hope to appropriate more for them in a reconciliation bill later this year," wrote the board, which despite its conservative lean has grown critical of Trump on a number of issues. "But House Republicans rejected the deal because they understandably don’t want to be jammed by the Senate and don’t like the precedent of partially funding agencies."

‘Trash!’ White House erupts with vulgar statement at report on ICE chief’s hospitalization

The White House is forcefully pushing back on a report that Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s acting director was hospitalized amid pressure from the Trump administration, calling the claims “inaccurate trash” – and even using profanity to blast the story.

'Plain text is clear': Trump admin suit thrown out in latest courtroom humiliation

In yet another legal blow, a federal judge has dismissed the Trump administration's lawsuit trying to overturn Minnesota's policy of giving in-state tuition rates to certain immigrants without legal status.

The case, heard by U.S. District Judge Katherine Menendez, argued that Minnesota's policy is pre-empted by the federal Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act, which states that "Notwithstanding any other provision of law, an alien who is not lawfully present in the United States shall not be eligible on the basis of residence within a State (or a political subdivision) for any postsecondary education benefit unless a citizen or national of the United States is eligible for such a benefit (in no less an amount, duration, and scope) without regard to whether the citizen or national is such a resident."

Iran is getting under Trump's skin by using his 'Art of the Deal' against him: analyst

Iran has discovered Trump's vulnerability — and it's exploiting it relentlessly. According to Slate columnist Ian Prasad Philbrick, Tehran's leadership is weaponizing the president's own playbook to keep him perpetually off-balance as he searches for an exit from the war.

The strategy is simple, ruthless, and devastatingly effective: study Trump's ghost-written "Art of the Deal," master his negotiating tactics, and turn them back on him with surgical precision.
