    WASHINGTON (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."

  2. "All by Myself" is a song by American singer-songwriter #EricCarmen, released by #AristaRecords in December 1975 as the first #single from Carmen's self-titled debut album. The verse is based on the second movement (Adagio sostenuto) of Russian composer #SergeiRachmaninoff's 1900–01 #PianoConcertoNo2InCMinor, Opus 18. The chorus was taken from the song "#LetsPretend", which Carmen had written and recorded with his band the #Raspberries in 1972.
