I've seen articles saying November #SNAP benefits won't be sent. The pressure on food banks will be tremendous. Many US protest groups are combining mutual aid with protesting. Volunteering or donating is a great contribution to the resistance, and those unable to protest (e.g., members of very targeted groups) are working hard to feed communities.

Please remember, cash donations are better than canned food, but food banks are hesitant to say so.

#FoodInsecurity

She added: “It is highly respected. It has well-validated questions. In no way does that reflect the view of anybody who works with the #data. That is completely a pretext for eliminating data that can point out problems.”

The report was especially useful during the #coronavirus #pandemic, Waxman said, when it found that #FoodInsecurity stayed flat in 2020 despite a huge loss of jobs. Researchers credited the outpouring of government #aid….

The report also includes… #data on #children & the #elderly.

The #Agriculture Dept’s statement attacked the #FoodInsecurity report as “rife with inaccuracies, wrong metrics, zero accountability, & a massive drive for bigger & larger” government programs.

Elaine Waxman, an expert on methods of measuring food insecurity at the Urban Institute, a Washington research group, said in an interview that “none of that [statement] is accurate.”

#law #Trump #SocialCleansing #EconomicDiscrimination

In a sharp break with precedent, #Trump has aggressively contested sources of government #data that he thinks casts his policies in a negative light. Last month, after a weak #jobs report, he fired the commissioner of the Bureau of Labor #Statistics, claiming with no evidence that the data was “rigged.”

The #Agriculture Department said in a statement that the report had become “overly politicized, & upon subsequent review, is unnecessary to carry out the work of the department.”🤯

The department will issue a final report next month covering 2024, based on a survey from last year, but will cease fielding future surveys, according to the statement.

Two months after pushing through #Congress the largest #FoodStamp cuts in the program’s history, the #Trump admin has canceled the government’s annual report measuring household #FoodInsecurity.

The move by the #Agriculture Dept strips the #government of its main gauge of Americans’ ability to access adequate meals, & will impede researchers’ efforts to track the coming #cuts in #nutritional #aid.

This is crazy.

#Trump Admin to Stop Measuring #FoodInsecurity

The move strips the government of its main gauge of #hunger in America, & will impede efforts to track the impact of #aid cuts [that’s the plan].
