There are reasons why #NewHampshire is NOT like the rest of #NewEngland (and why they are not part of #District13 in my version of the #Panem map).

The global war against #hunger has been sidelined in recent years as international leaders focus on gun wars, territorial disputes and energy conflicts.

#India - Farmers devastated after 80% of key crops are wiped out — here's what happened
Story by Tina Deines, February 4, 2026
"#TomatoFarmers in one region in India are struggling after their crops were hit hard by #pests and #climatic factors.
What's happening?
"The Pioneer reported on the challenging growing season for farmers around the town of #Gaulapar in northern India, an area that is known for tomato production. According to growers there, about 80% of their cultivated tomatoes have been damaged by pests.
"The publication also lists '#ClimaticFactors' as a challenge for tomato farmers. For one, young tomato plants suffered damage in the initial phase of cultivation due to #HighTemperatures during the planting season.
Why is this crop damage concerning?
"According to the publication, the drop in tomato yields has led to surging prices at the market, affecting consumers. While some farmers are benefitting from higher prices, most are suffering due to the crop damage they've endured.
"This is yet the latest example of the struggles facing food producers worldwide and the cascading impacts they have on consumers.
"One recent study tied recent dramatic price increases in staple foods to rising global temperatures, which are leading to prolonged droughts, more severe heat waves, unpredictable precipitation patterns, and other severe weather. For instance, #Malaysians are facing soaring prices at the supermarket after a heavy #monsoon season wiped out a number of local #crops."

The president’s power to deploy troops domestically: an explainer
By Kelsey Dallas
Updated on Oct. 28 at 9:16 p.m.Since June, President Donald Trump has ordered several #NationalGuard deployments within the United States, often against the wishes of the Democratic governors of the states where troops are being sent. The resulting legal battles have put a spotlight on the president’s authority to federalize troops and use them domestically. How far, exactly, does this power extend?
"Overview:
This document explores President Trump's authority to deploy National Guard troops domestically, highlighting legal frameworks, recent deployments, and ongoing court challenges. Presidential Authority and Legal Framework
- The Constitution grants Congress the power to call forth the militia, while the president commands troops under Article II.
- The Militia Act of 1792 allows the president to call troops for domestic insurrections or to enforce U.S. laws.
- Trump has invoked 10 U.S.C. § 12406, which permits federalizing National Guard troops to address foreign invasions, rebellions, or law enforcement needs.
- Legal challenges focus on whether conditions in cities like Los Angeles, Portland, and Chicago meet the criteria for federal troop deployment. Recent Deployments and Legal Challenges
- Trump has deployed National Guard troops to cities with Democratic governors, citing rising crime rates and the need for federal law enforcement support.
- Legal disputes have arisen, particularly in Chicago, where a judge ruled the deployment unnecessary, and similar rulings occurred in Los Angeles and Portland.
- The 9th Circuit Court has paused lower court orders blocking deployments, emphasizing deference to presidential authority in determining troop necessity. Key Legal Cases and Acts
- Martin v. Mott (1827) established that a president's decision to call up militia cannot be questioned, though interpretations vary today regarding judicial review.
- The Posse Comitatus Act (1878) limits military involvement in domestic law enforcement, which has been a point of contention in recent deployments.
- The Insurrection Act allows broader presidential authority to deploy troops without the limitations of the Posse Comitatus Act, enabling action when law enforcement is impracticable. Future Implications
- Trump has suggested he may invoke the Insurrection Act if other legal avenues fail.
- The Supreme Court's upcoming ruling on the Chicago deployment could clarify the extent of presidential power under Section 12406 and its implications for future troop deployments."Full article:

Pentagon readying thousands of Guard ‘reaction forces’ as U.S. mission widens
Alex Horton and David Ovalle , The Washington Post
Thu, October 30, 2025 at 3:43 PM EDTExcerpt: "The mandate, along with the growing presence of federal and immigration enforcement officers, suggests further military deployments within the United States could grow in size and scope. The deployments, which President Donald Trump has described as a bid to quell violence and crime, have infuriated Democratic governors in multiple states, who have fought the president’s deployments through litigation.
"The Defense Department did not respond to a request for comment. A defense official, speaking on the condition of anonymity to describe military planning, said the Pentagon is 'revising plans for the employment of [National Guard Reaction Forces] to guarantee their ability to assist federal, state and local law enforcement in quelling civil disturbances.' The Guardian earlier reported details of the documents."

New England schools and food programs take ‘devastating’ hit after #USDAFundingCuts
The more than $1 billion in federal funding helped #schools, #ChildCare programs, and #FoodPantries in 40 states to buy produce and other items from local farmers.
By Amanda Gokee and John Hilliard Globe Staff, Updated March 12, 2025, 3:03 p.m.
"In October, the USDA announced $1.7 billion for states and #tribal governments to purchase #locally and #regionally produced foods for #EmergencyFoodAssistance, including free meals for schools and child-care programs.
"That funding included $1.2 billion to support local food purchases with schools, child-care facilities, food banks, and other institutions, according to the USDA. School meal programs would get $500 million to make food purchases, and states, territories, and #TribalNations would receive another $500 million. Child-care facilities were supposed to get $200 million, the USDA said.
"The money earmarked for food banks, schools, and child-care facilities was meant to help them meet the needs of their recipients and help ensure they had access to healthy foods, according to the USDA at the time."
