“ Farms lose up to 70% of their workforce overnight after ICE crackdowns; fresh produce left unharvested as workers stay home in fear.”
Good read. I knew that the #heatdome and #atmospheric #River in 2021 hit #Agriculture hard in #BritishColumbia . Same with wineries in 2024. But I didn't know it was this bad since 2017

With the VA destroyed, farms obliterated, rural hospitals gone, and everyone in a panic, who is going to feed your glorious troops, General Dunce? Admiral Surrender? With millions dead from the "heartland" you heavily recruit from, I guess ICE will be our new army, and Stephen Miller will be its leader.
Trump outsmarted you all. This is WWII Germany and you are the Nazis. You! Look in the f**king mirror! Sir.
Also, it might be easier for you to salute back if you got your heads out of the ass of a New York fascist. Sir.

#Maine joins 20 states to challenge #Trump administration funding cuts
by MICHAEL CASEY Associated Press
Wed, June 25th 2025
BOSTON (AP) — "Attorneys general from more than 20 states, including Maine, and #WashingtonDC filed a federal lawsuit Tuesday challenging billions of dollars in funding cuts made by the Trump administration that would fund everything from crime prevention to #FoodSecurity to #ScientificResearch.
"The lawsuit filed in Boston is asking a judge to limit the Trump administration from relying on an obscure clause in the federal regulation to cut grants that don’t align with its priorities. Since January, the lawsuit argues that the administration has used that clause to cancel entire programs and thousands of grants that had been previously awarded to states and grantees.
" 'Defendants’ decision to invoke the Clause to terminate grants based on changed agency priorities is #unlawful several times over,' the plaintiffs argued. 'The rulemaking history of the Clause makes plain that the (Office of Management and Budget - #OMB) intended for the Clause to permit terminations in only limited circumstances and provides no support for a broad power to terminate grants on a whim based on newly identified agency priorities.'
"The lawsuit argues the Trump administration has used the clause for the basis of a 'slash-and-burn campaign' to cut federal grants.
" 'Defendants have terminated thousands of grant awards made to Plaintiffs, pulling the rug out from under the States, and taking away critical federal funding on which States and their residents rely for essential programs,' the lawsuit added.
"The White House's Office of Management and Budget did not immediately respond to a request made Tuesday afternoon for comment.
"#RhodeIsland Attorney General Neronha said this lawsuit was just one of several the coalition of mostly Democratic states have filed over funding cuts. For the most part, they have largely succeeded in a string of legal victories to temporarily halt cuts.
"This one, though, may be the broadest challenge to those funding cuts.
" 'It’s no secret that this President has gone to great lengths to intercept federal funding to the states, but what may be lesser known is how the Trump Administration is attempting to justify their unlawful actions,' Neronha said in a statement. 'Nearly every lawsuit this coalition of Democratic attorneys general has filed against the Administration is related to its unlawful and flagrant attempts to rob Americans of basic programs and services upon which they rely. Most often, this comes in the form of illegal federal funding cuts, which the Administration attempts to justify via a so-called agency priorities clause.'
"#Connecticut Attorney General William Tong said the lawsuit aimed to stop funding cuts he described as indiscriminate and illegal.
" 'There is no ‘because I don’t like you’ or ‘because I don’t feel like it anymore’ defunding clause in federal law that allows the President to bypass Congress on a whim,' Tong said in a statement. 'Since his first minutes in office, Trump has unilaterally defunded our police, our schools, our healthcare, and more. He can’t do that, and that’s why over and over again we have blocked him in court and won back our funding.'
"In #Massachusetts, Attorney General Andrea Campbell said the U.S. Department of Agriculture terminated a $11 million agreement with the state Department of Agricultural Resources connecting hundreds of #farmers to hundreds of food distribution sites while the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency [#EPA] terminated a $1 million grant to the state Department of Public Health to reduce asthma triggers in #LowIncome communities.
" 'We cannot stand idly by while this President continues to launch unprecedented, unlawful attacks on Massachusetts’ residents, institutions, and economy,' Campbell said in a statement."

Abandoned by #Trump, a farmer and a #migrant search for a better future
from #WashingtonPost #WaPo
For this story, John Woodrow Cox interviewed more than 40 #farmers across the country. He and photographer Matt McClain reported from Colorado while Sarah Blaskey talked to more than two dozen employees at the U.S. Agriculture Department and reviewed hundreds of documents and records that revealed the extent of the cuts and freezes.

"The federal government had promised JJ a $200,000 grant, spread across two years, to cover the cost of a seasonal farmhand from Latin America. In a place where local, legal help was nearly impossible to keep, the extra worker would give him the freedom to handle more jobs and invest in his own equipment. It was an opportunity that could transform his family’s future, but, JJ explained to his friend, President #DonaldTrump had frozen the money."
Nearly all the #farmers in my hometown in #california broke for #trump. Many of them flew trump flags. Trump's #ice #gestapo hit our agriculture community hard. I am having a lot of trouble ginning up any sympathy for my farming neighbors who bought into the Trump fever dream (twice). They are the type of people who don't like government handouts (so they say), so I trust they'll pull themselves up by their bootstraps to get through this
Ted "Over the next two months, more than 20 farmers requested $4 million owed to them, according to documents reviewed by The Post. None were paid."
