The Trump administration just killed a federal program that hundreds of small farmers relied on to survive, and the damage is already landing. The program paid farmers full market price for their crops, then routed that fresh food to food banks and the families who needed it. In California alone, it supported roughly 870 farms across more than 50 counties, moved 23 million pounds of food, and put over $60 million directly into local economies. For many, it was the most reliable buyer they had. Then the White House pulled the plug, right as farmers were buying seeds for spring. Contracts already in motion were canceled mid-delivery. Three years of funding these growers had planned around vanished overnight. Without those federal dollars, the future is more uncertain than ever for these farms and the millions of hungry families they feed. That is the pattern. Slash a program that feeds seniors and supports farmers, save almost nothing, and call it winning. kqed.org/news/12088977/…
Leaked records reveal Trump has quietly awarded a $500 million no-bid contract for his White House ballroom construction. This comes after Trump awarded a no-bid contract for his botched Reflecting Pool renovation.
