GET ME REWRITE: Trump administration nativism creates labor shortage for Minnesota farmers

 

Headline:  Minnesota Star Tribune, 2/16/2026

Zoe Jackson summarizes in 2/16/2026 "Essential Minnesota" email alert:

The ongoing federal immigration enforcement in Minnesota has created a climate of fear among both undocumented and documented workers, and made farmers unsure if they’ll survive the growing season. 

While the thousands of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents who’ve descended on Minnesota have focused on the Twin Cities, rural communities are feeling their presence, too. 

ICE has recently raided dairy farms, according to farmers and industry leaders, and crop growers are worried they won’t have enough temporary visa holders to work the fields come spring.  [emphasis added]

Top headline:  Wisconsin Public Radio, 1/27/20267

Bottom headline:  The Downballot, 2/16/2026

David Nir and Jeff Singer reports for The Downballot:

But the quest for Trump’s backing is no longer over once he’s told the world that a candidate has his “complete and total endorsement.” Trump has been willing to hedge his bets by providing a dual endorsement after initially favoring just one person, or sometimes even abandoning his pick altogether if he sees them losing. 

Trump’s newfound flexibility has resulted in a playing field where candidates and their allies are no longer willing to let Trump have the final word on his own preferences. Trump himself may love getting to watch Republican office-seekers continue to grovel for his backing, but it’s also made his endorsement less powerful than it once was.

Curiously, Nir and Singer don't mention Trump's tanking poll numbers.

MISCREANT PREACHERS: Multi-million dollar theft scheme in the name of the Lord (#249 in a series)

 

Mugshots:  Fox 13 Tampa Bay

Headline:  WLFA, 2/14/2026

Alaina Papazian reports:

A release from Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier said that Robert and Jaclyn Dell operated a ‘transformation center’ in St. Pete that claimed to provide counseling and assistance to those recovering from drug addiction. 

Robert, a former pastor at The Rock Church, along with his wife, Jaclyn, were arrested in August 2023 following a multi-departmental investigation. \ 

Detectives determined that under the guise of counseling and assisting people recovering from drug addiction, the Dells coordinated a long-running, multi-million-dollar retail theft scheme targeting the Home Depot. 

Detectives said that co-conspirators Jessica Wild and Daniel Mace stole power tools from Home Depot locations across Citrus, Hillsborough, Manatee, Pasco, Pinellas, Polk, and Sarasota counties.

"Melania" continues its box office slide

 

Box office tallies:  Box Office Mojo

Headline:  Variety, 2/11/2026

Rebecca Rubin reports:

Amazon’s true metric of success might not be ticket sales or streaming figures but rather how the president is feeling about his wife’s big screen debut. After all, those signature Melania Trump popcorn boxes could pay off with regulatory approvals, government contracts and all the missions to space that Bezos could dare to dream. In this transactional administration, $75 million may just be the price of doing business. [emphasis added]

And Jeff Bezos is not averse to showing his abject subservience to Trump. (He's on the left in Ann Telnaes' Pulitzer Prize winning political cartoon, which was censored by the Washington Post, which Bezos owns.)

So far in 2026 Lancaster County Pennsylvania has recorded 2,400,000 cases of bird flu

 

Headline:  Lancaster Online, 2/43/2026

Nathan Willison reports:

Bird flu has now been reported in seven commercial poultry flocks in Lancaster County, affecting over 2.4 million birds as the number of affected flocks continues to rise. 

In the latest outbreak, reported Feb. 11 by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the disease was found among a commercial table egg layer flock, affecting over 104,800 birds. It has also been reported among commercial broiler and turkey flocks. No active outbreaks among domestic birds have been reported in other Pennsylvania counties. 

While health experts with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention warn that the disease poses little risk to public health for the time being, it is almost always fatal to domestic poultry and is highly infectious. Since 2024, the CDC has reported 71 human cases and two deaths caused by bird flu.
