USDA cancels survey tracking how many Americans struggle to get enough food

Quote:The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) under the administration of President Trump announced on Saturday that it will end a longstanding annual food insecurity survey, calling it "redundant, costly, politicized, and extraneous."

The Household Food Security Report provides yearly data on the lack of access to adequate nutrition for low-income Americans, and helps shape policy on how to combat food insecurity and hunger.

The USDA's announcement comes after Trump signed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act into law this summer, which expands the work requirements for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP. This, in effect, will leave an estimated 2.4 million Americans without food aid.

I just really like the phrasing in NPR's article about the Tylenol bullshit:

Quote:"The Amish, for example, have no autism," he said, despite research showing that autism does affect Amish communities, later adding that there are no cases of autism in Cuba, when in fact there are cases of autism there.

Trump accidentally praising Cuba is one of the funniest outcomes of all this shit

Just received a text that SNAP payments will be delayed due to the gvmt shutdown! ❤️
