Today, Acting Attorney General @DAGToddBlanche, @SecRollins, and @RealPNavarro discussed the progress of our antitrust investigations into meatpackers. This Justice Department and @USDA are working together to address rising beef costs and competition concerns in cattle markets under @POTUS’s Executive Order. Stay tuned for a historic settlement announcement on the prices of protein coming later this week. 🇺🇸

Final day to apply! USDA is hiring program specialists at various locations across the country to help stop benefits fraud. Learn more, and apply by today ➡️ usajobs.gov/job/866921000

⚖️🇺🇸MAJOR UPDATE: @POTUS ordered @TheJusticeDept to launch an immediate investigation into the Big Four meatpackers for collusion and price manipulation late last year. America’s ranchers face historic challenges — cattle herds at 1950s lows, over 100,000 ranches lost in the last 10 years, and 85% of beef processing dominated by just four firms (with half being foreign-owned).     Alongside @DAGToddBlanche, @RealPNavarro, and the entire @TheJusticeDept, we’re putting forward short- and long-term solutions through the @USDA Beef Plan and a major DOJ investigation into anti-competitive practices ordered by @POTUS.     Food security is national security.🇺🇸

Today, just four companies — JBS, Cargill, Tyson Foods, and National Beef — control roughly 85% of the cattle processing market. That level of concentration has surged from just 25% in 1977 to 71% by 1992, and now to an astonishing 85%. Together, these companies operate through dozens of subsidiary businesses, creating a landscape that leaves many of our cattle producers with limited marketing options. For some ranchers this means less marketing opportunities, complicating an already challenging marketplace. We must work to address this to protect our ranchers and consumers. @POTUS and this administration are focused on promoting fairness and competition — ensuring our producers have options and a level playing field. 🇺🇸🥩

The facts are clear: America’s beef cattle herd is at its lowest level since the 1950s. As of January 1, we have just 27.6 million head of beef cows. Over the past decade alone, we’ve lost more than 17% of our cattle ranchers, with over 100,000 ranches disappearing across the country. This is the reality we inherited — driven by the radical left’s climate alarmism, years of drought, wildfires, market volatility, and overregulation. @POTUS and this administration are committed to reversing that trend — strengthening the American beef industry, supporting our ranchers, and preserving this way of life for the next generation. 🇺🇸🥩

.@SecRollins: "Half of these meatpacking giants, including the largest meat packer in the world, are either foreign-owned or have significant foreign ownership and control, making them a threat not just to our cattle producers, but a threat to America itself."

.@DAGToddBlanche, @RealPNavarro, and I are proud to serve the American people across the executive branch under @POTUS — united by one mission: protecting our farmers, ranchers, and the American way of life. From historic investments in rural America and tax relief for working families, to opening global markets with more than two dozen new trade deals and frameworks for U.S. agriculture, to strengthening our domestic beef industry — this president has been a relentless champion for American producers. These actions come at a critical moment, as our country faces historically low beef herd sizes. We’re focused on delivering real, timely support to ensure their long-term strength and success. 🇺🇸🚜🐮

This Public Service Recognition Week, we extend our gratitude to our nation’s hardworking public servants and to the dedicated USDA employees who show up for the American people every single day. Your commitment, expertise, and service make a real difference in supporting our farmers, families, and rural communities across the country. Thank you for all you do! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

For years, the Democrats let fraudsters abuse SNAP and take advantage of this massive government program — the Biden admin ballooning it by 40% as they tried to buy votes with your tax dollars. It is hard to fully comprehend what would have happened If President Trump hadn’t won. This program and so many others would have continued to grow unchecked and freedom as we know it would have been lost forever. We are working with relentless intention with our great @VP’s Task Force to Eliminate Fraud, our USDA team, and the @USDAOIG. So far: • 4.3 million people moved off SNAP; • Over 355,000 people getting double benefits found; • 186,000 dead people getting benefits; 440,000 people using dummy SSNs • 893 arrests by USDA alone, so many more by @DOJ More coming. STAY TUNED. 🇺🇸
