The ag industry has voiced concern about worksite raids and inspections that have ensnared immigrants working at farm operations and a meatpacking plant. Part of that concern derives from ICE arresting workers beyond those for whom they have warrants.

After days of confusion over whether President Trump had carved out an exception for farms and hospitality operations, including hotels and restaurants, Homan told reporters, โ€œThe message is clear enough that weโ€™re going to continue doing worksite enforcement operations even

business of the presidency as Adults. Trump never has. I donโ€™t believe he ever will. His Adult is dead, if it existed at all.

Trump is like Anthony from the Twilight Zone episode of โ€œItโ€™s a Good Life,โ€ a Child with far more power than any Parent but without the restraint of a mature Adult to reign

From the standpoint of Transactional Analysis, Trump is the most dangerous possible combination of traits at their worst for a president of the United States. We need

from which we get tyrants and abusers. When the Parent at its worst is combined with the Child at its worst, we get a pouty, whiny, vindictive, hateful monster.

You see where I am going with this. I cannot think of a single instance when the pouty, whiny, vindictive, hateful

The unloveliest human impulses live in the Parent, and it is the Parent

These three states of being are neither good nor bad in and of themselves, but tools we all employ to negotiate interactions with other human beings. Just as a

Donald Trump looks down as he walks on the White House lawn.

Three dozen horses, 28 Abrams tanks, 6,700 soldiers, and millions of taxpayer dollars later, and Donald Trumpโ€™s military birthday parade was still a flop at best.

I hate to acknowledge this inevitability, but Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark will not be the last victims of his rhetoric of violence. For this alone he should be impeached and cast out of office and into the outer darkness.

What makes Boelter a little different from your everyday MAGA lunatic is heโ€™s a soft spoken man with a PhD. His doctorate comes from a now defunct private Catholic college called Cardinal Stritch University. Stritch appears to have been legitimately accredited, but it closed its doors in 2023

No, people who actually knew Boelter, people who actually know what theyโ€™re talking about, including a lifelong friend who met Boelter in the fourth grade, know that he is a and always has been a Republican and deeply conservative. But facts never get in the way of conspiracy theorists.

Boelter was in fact a Democrat in deep cover disguised as a MAGA Republican. They base all this lunacy on wishful thinking and the fact that โ€œNo Kingsโ€ leaflets were found in his car. Thatโ€™s pathetically easy to explain: if theyโ€™re in his car they arenโ€™t in the hands of others, right?
