After cuts to #FoodStamps, #Trump administration ends government’s annual report on #hunger in America
By PAUL WISEMAN
Updated 6:01 PM EDT, September 20, 2025WASHINGTON (AP) — "The Trump administration is ending the federal government’s annual report on hunger in America, stating that it had become 'overly politicized' and 'rife with inaccuracies.'
"The decision comes two and a half months after President Donald Trump signed legislation sharply reducing #FoodAid to the poor. The Congressional Budget Office has estimated that the tax and spending cuts bill Republicans muscled through Congress in July means 3 million people would not qualify for food stamps, also known as #SNAP benefits.
"The decision to scrap the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Household Food Security Report was first reported by The Wall Street Journal.
"In a press release Saturday, the USDA said the 2024 report, to be released Oct. 22, would be the last."
