Summary
The Trump administration cut over $1 billion in USDA funding for schools and food banks, citing shifting priorities.
The cuts impact programs supporting local farmers and feeding underserved communities, including the $660 million Local Food for Schools program and $420 million for food banks.
Governors in Massachusetts and Illinois criticized the move, calling it harmful to children, farmers, and food-insecure families.
The cuts, linked to Elon Musk’s cost-cutting DOGE initiative, sparked backlash as Congress considers further reductions to school meal programs.
Do you actually think they do not know? We let them do it, that is all that matters.
I don’t, no. I do wonder how many pounds of cocaine a person has to snort to make a statement like that without vomiting from abject self-loathing in the process though.
This is some serious world class assholery.
