USDA halts millions of dollars worth of deliveries to food banks — POLITICO

The halt in deliveries comes after the Trump administration separately slashed $1 billion for schools and food banks to buy food from farms.

Is America great again yet?

We’re now part of the axis of evil, economy is tanking, unemployment is spiking, inflation is rising, civil liberties are being expelled, our influence around the world is diminished, the country is a laughing stock mixed with never before seen corruption. So I just gotta ask.

Is America great again yet.

This self inflicted pain we are currently facing, and the abundance in the forefront that will engulf America is deserved. Despite who you voted for. We allowed this through complacency and capitulation by not holding our elected leaders accountable. Us, and the world will suffer due to it.

This minor example of the USDA unable to deliver basic nutritional assistance to food banks across the country, based in cruelty and elitism, not only will hurt poorer, American families, it is also a substantial economic hit to American farmers who sold this produce to these organizations. Modern society and commerce is a symbiotic system. What affects one affects the other. Hence the word “united” in title held of America.

But hey! Guess they told those libs huh!? Really stuck it to the diverse collective of impoverished, working poor, Americans in red and blue states alike. Really spited the hungry good! 👍

I wholeheartedly apologize to peoples around the globe for the actions of some in my nation. This is the most embarrassing and shameful period of American ongoings in my lifetime. I hate Trump is doing to Ukraine, Canada, Mexico, the EU, its own citizens, and many others is not perpetuated by, nor reflective of all of us. He didn’t even win 50% of the vote and 1/3 of Americans simply didn’t vote (which they might as well have voted for this by not) but this may be done in our name but not due to the majority of Americans. Nonetheless I’m sorry. I realize it took decades to build these friendships and it will take decades to repair them. Yet many of us, particularly myself, are ashamed and extremely sorry.

May the United States endure such dark times.

"The stock market closed with a bloodbath on Friday as the Dow Jones lost 2,231 points and the S&P 500 dropped 6 percent as investors are spooked about the impact of President Donald Trump’s tariff plan. "This marks the worst week for the stock market since 2020, and only the fourth time in history that the Dow lost 2,000 points in a single day. Market-wide losses over the last two days now total a record-breaking $6.4 trillion, according to the Wall Street Journal." To put this staggering amount into perspective, the U.S. government received (in personal income taxes, corporate taxes, fees, tariffs, everything) only $5 trillion in total revenue for the entire year of 2024. Take a moment to think about how really, really, REALLY BAD a person has to be at their job to lose $6.4 TRILLION in just 48 hours. The biggest two day loss in American history.
