Food Banks Are Running Out of Food Exactly When More Americans Will Need Them
‘The most challenging situation I’ve seen in 17 years.’ Cuts to food stamps and other federal programs mean some people go home hungry.
—> https://www.wsj.com/economy/food-ba...4?st=CjcYxD&reflink=desktopwebshare_permalink“… This year, the federal government has canceled food deliveries and cut hundreds of millions of dollars in annual aid to food banks. For Aragón, the head of programming for Roadrunner Food Bank, New Mexico’s largest charitable food operation, that has meant losing more than seven million pounds of food she had been counting on.
President Trump’s megabill, passed earlier this month, includes cuts to food stamps, now known as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP.
Food banks across the country were already straining under rising demand. Now, they worry many more Americans will go hungry.
… Food banks have seen requests for assistance from households—including those with children—jump sharply over the past few years, driven by the end of pandemic aid programs and the impact of inflation on grocery prices.

… A separate pandemic-era program, slated to disburse roughly $500 million this year to food banks to buy produce, dairy items and meats from local farmers, was also cut by the Agriculture Department. The department said it had released hundreds of millions of dollars to food banks that had been previously promised as part of the program.
… Pachter and other food bank leaders say the SNAP reductions included in the new budget bill will strain resources by pushing more people whose benefits have either been cut or reduced toward pantries to get food.
… A congressional analysis of an earlier House version of the bill found that roughly 3.2 million people would lose SNAP benefits in an average month over the next decade.
… “When we have to tell people that we have no more left, the look on their faces when they walk away is like ‘What am I going to do now?’” she said.
“I don’t have an answer.” “

Democrat-led states say Trump’s sweeping staff cuts at the Department of Education are already disrupting school funding streams and derailing essential federal support for public education systems.

I have bad news about that lawsuit. there's no longer a Depart of Education to sue.
America, not satisfied with just being a shithole country, aspires to be a really fucking stupid shithole country.

Yes, there is still a DOE. And even if Trump shutters it, the DOE can still be sued. And if not, then Trump can be sued.
