A lawsuit claims the Agriculture Secretary's work emails proselytized federal employees with frequent Christian-related references like "God," & "Jesus Christ," thus violating 1st Amendment's Establishment Clause.
To emphasize that the #TrumpAdmin couldn't care less and will do whatever it wants, a #USDA spokesperson said, "While we do not comment on pending litigation, we will keep the plaintiffs in our prayers during this process." 😐

Tell Congress to hold hearings on how the US Department of Agriculture Secretary can implement a reorganization of the US Forest Service in direct contravention of legislation that both houses of Congress passed and the President signed into law; and how the General Counsel is allowed to declare a duly enacted law unconstitutional by internal memo and face no consequences. 🙃

USDA Trade Mission In The Philippines Set From April 13 To 16
In a serious effort to ramp up agricultural exports to the Philippines, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) will lead a trade mission in the country from April 13 to 26, 2026 and the delegation will be composed of several American agribusinesses farmers and trade groups, according to a news article by Farms.com.
To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the news article from Farms.com. Some parts in boldface…
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) will lead a trade mission to Manila, Philippines, from April 13 to 16, 2026. The goal is to expand export opportunities for American farmers, ranchers, and agribusinesses.
This mission follows a major trade agreement reached in July last year, which created new pathways for U.S. agricultural products in the Philippines market. The delegation will be led by Deputy Under Secretary Michelle Bekkering and will include 58 agribusinesses, trade groups, and representatives from state agriculture departments.
Participating states include Idaho, Kansas, Nebraska, and Wisconsin. Companies such as American Egg Board, American Peanut Council, California Milk Advisory Board, Potatoes USA, U.S. Dairy Export Council, U.S. Soybean Export Council, and U.S. Meat Export Federation are part of the mission. Other businesses like Foodlinx, BNutty Peanut Butter, Global Export Marketing Co., Wonderful Citrus, and USA Poultry and Egg Export Council will also attend.
The Philippines is an important market for U.S. agriculture. It ranks as the tenth-largest buyer of U.S. farm and food products, with average annual imports of $3.4 billion over the past five years. Its growing population of 118 million and rising middle class make it a strong market for future growth.
During the visit, USDA’s Foreign Agricultural Service will organize meetings, market briefings, and site visits. These activities will connect U.S. exporters directly with Filipino buyers and strengthen business relationships.
“USDA is committed to getting American farmers, ranchers and agribusinesses better access to strong markets and fair opportunities abroad,” said Deputy Undersecretary Bekkering. “Since the Philippines is one of the fastest-growing markets in Asia, this mission will connect U.S. exporters directly with reliable buyers, strengthen our trade relationship, and help keep American agriculture globally competitive.”
Let me end this piece by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this development? Do you think American agriculture is set to grow with exporting goods worldwide under the leadership of US President Donald Trump over the next three years? Do you think Filipinos will continue to consume even more American agricultural goods?

I made the following point while #Musk was #DOGE'ing half of the gov't workforce."It's actually a scheme to see how much of what the gov't does can be *privatized*."
I still believe this is in fact what they are doing.

2026’s historic #snow #drought is bad news for West
Data from the #USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service shows out of 70 river basins across Western #US, only five are at or above 1991–2020 median snow #water equivalent for this time of year. 11 basins have less than 25% of median, and over half are below 50%.
A recent assessment of drought conditions from #NOAA’s National Integrated Drought Information System suggests 2026 will be a tight year for water supplies.

Mei has 20 days from the day the govt reopens to contest her dismissal. She plans to appear alongside other unionized federal workers…at a news conference Friday in Boston to protest #USDA’s decision.
“This is about sounding the alarm to the public that this administration will…trot over the services we provide & the rights that we have as #FederalWorkers & as Americans,” said Chris Dols, co-exec dir of the Federal Unionists Network, who is helping organize Mei’s response.
