USDA halts millions of dollars worth of deliveries to food banks

The Agriculture Department has halted millions of dollars worth of deliveries to food banks without explanation, according to food bank leaders in six states.

USDA had previously allocated $500 million in deliveries to food banks for fiscal year 2025 through The Emergency Food Assistance Program. Now, the food bank leaders say many of those orders have been canceled.

The halting of these deliveries, first reported by POLITICO, comes after the Agriculture Department separately axed two other food programs, ending more than $1 billion in planned federal spending for schools and food banks to purchase from local farmers.

The collective cuts are expected to make it more difficult for food banks to meet families’ needs, with food prices now 20 percent higher than they were in 2020, food bank leaders say.

his plan. Starve American citizens that need help with getting food for themselves and their families.

[NotHardly]

24. How Nazi 'convince' people to obey...starve them into submission.

29. Starve the old, the poor, the sick.

Think how much money we can save.

[50 Shades Of Blue]

3. Explanation is simple. Trump/must get off on hurting people who aren't filthy rich mega-donors.

[BOSSHOG]

6. He is a hateful, grotesque human being

Constantly seeking ways to hurt humans any which way.

We are almost there. Republicans will soon be primaried for supporting trump.

[dweller]

8. I don't think it will take that long

If the hungry masses begin to revolt …

😠

[PufPuf23]

17. Some law enforcement and military will be willing and even eager

to shoot protesters.

Creepy.

[bluestarone]

27. Yes we have to be aware at all times!

Protest with eyes and ears open. Plus have guards and radios

[Irish_Dem]

31. Yes police love being the new Trump gestapo.

[Irish_Dem]

30. Even China learned this lesson.

It starved its people for a long time but then realized that 1.4 billion hungry angry people
might not be the best thing to happen to a fascist regime.

So then it flooded the country with cheap food.

[JMCKUSICK]

4. That's just grotesque

[NickB79]

5. Farmers are gonna be fucked by this as well

As someone with a bunch of MAGA farmer aunts, uncles, and cousins: GOOD. All they understand is money, and if a few lose their farms, so be it.

[BOSSHOG]

7. Silos in many Kansas Counties

are full of last years crop of sorghum earmarked for sale to USAID. No Sale. And babies starving in Africa. Imagine the mass grave display at the trump library.

[Irish_Dem]

32. Trump will send them $millions like last time.

To make sure they stay in the cult.

[NickB79]

36. Last time he sent money mostly to the big corporate farmers

All my family run 250-500 acres of mixed crops, dairy cattle and hogs in central Minnesota. They all bitched how they didn't see jack the last time Trump sent out checks.

[Irish_Dem]

37. Northern Wisconsin was thrilled with the checks.

Dairy farmers. The kind who are very shrewd.

[sinkingfeeling]

9. Isn't this from the North Korean Dictator's handbook?

[erronis]

10. It's the script. Destroy the US economy and society. Pilfer whatever you can get.

And let the scavengers (vulture capitalists) clean the bones.

[sakabatou]

11. "Let the people starve." -Felon47, probably

[kimbutgar]

13. Such good Xtians in this administration !

But they seemed to have forgotten Jesus words of love thy neighbor and feed the poor.

I will never respect any church gong xtian that voted for this terrible pos!

[Midnight Writer]

14. "The fundamental flaw of Western Civilization is empathy... a bug in Western Civilization which is the empathy response"

Elon Musk-Feb 2025.

He thinks empathy is a weakness. As does Trump. As do many avaricious businessmen.

In fact, Civilization of any kind would not exist without the empathy "bug".

Amazing how these people want to tear down the very systems they have been thriving under.

[Hope22]

15. This is infuriating!

The guy doesn’t know what a grocery store is. He doesn’t know what it feels like to be hungry! Insanity!

[patphil]

16. Not only are American's in need going to suffer food insecurity, but farmers are again getting stiffed.

AGAIN!
First it was USAID, and now this.

It's too bad Trump, Musk and the rest of their ilk won't have to worry where their next meal is coming from.
Billionaires should never have any say in government; they haven't got a clue how the rest of us live, and how many people really need the food that these food banks supply.
I don't have a lot of money for charities, but the Regional Food Bank in my area gets my contribution each month.
We need to take our country back from the callous, heartless billionaires who are only concerned about making more and more money.

[OverBurn]

18. Just fuckin' die already, you evil human being.

[OnlinePoker]

19. Meanwhile, here in Canada, there is a surge of American produce going there from supermarkets

In protest of the Trump tariffs, people are buying a lot less U.S. produce so, rather than have it spoil, the supermarkets are sending it to the food banks.

[Prairie Gates]

20. It's time we consider whether this should be called radical evil

We don't like to talk about evil.

It seems like we're approaching evil...

[Irish_Dem]

33. We crossed the line into evil quite some time ago.

Cannot put the genie back into the bottle.

[BumRushDaShow]

21. Wait until they raid that Farm Bill

which includes SNAP funding. You ain't seen nothing yet!

[2naSalit]

22. And much of it will go to waste!

Fucking asshole!

I wish %#$@ #&^%$@#& $%&%$ &*$$ ^&%!!!!!

[orangecrush]

23. Musk's wet dream

Starving poor people to death

[Irish_Dem]

34. Starving women, children, POC.

The old, the sick, the poor.

[elocs]

25. They are evil. They not only want the poor seniors to be homeless, they want us to starve. n/t

[Irish_Dem]

35. They want us to die, we are useless to them.

Useless eaters who cost too damn much.

[Irish_Dem]

28. Billionaires refuse to feed poor people.

It is survival of the fittest, part of the eugenics program.
