"Trump’s #USDA Is Hiding the #Data on #FoodStamp Cuts."
https://www.motherjones.com/food/2026/01/trump-rollins-usda-snap-food-insecurity/

"In normal conditions, said Tufts University food economist Parke Wilde, policymakers and government workers would ask, 'What are the consequences of policy changes…so that we can calibrate and improve the program in the future?’ We won’t be able to do that this year."

Trump told #states on Saturday to “immediately undo” any actions to provide full #FoodStamp benefits to #LowIncome families, threatening financial penalties if they do not comply. The late-night guidance from the #USDA adds to the uncertainty surrounding the nation’s largest anti- #hunger program during the govt #shutdown. Officials in several states said they remained unsure on Sunday how the directive would affect the roughly one in eight Americans who rely on #SNAP.

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].

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.
