The Cruelty Is The Point

Politico:

The Agriculture Department has halted millions of dollars worth of deliveries to food banks without explanation, according to food bank leaders in six states.

USDA had previously allocated $500 million in deliveries to food banks for fiscal year 2025 through The Emergency Food Assistance Program. Now, the food bank leaders say many of those orders have been canceled.

USDA earlier canceled two other programs, so now $1 billion in food aid has been canceled. And USDA doesn’t want to talk about it.

This affects not just the hungry, but suppliers; even back to farmers.

USDA was supposed to spend $148 million of the $500 million early this year to buy dairy products, eggs, blueberries and more. But last month, the department notified state agencies that it was canceling solicitations from suppliers, according to a Feb. 20 email that Feeding America sent to its network of food banks and was viewed by POLITICO.

But, you know, fuck the poor and hungry. Fuck everybody who’s not one of Trump’s buddies. Dots; just dots.

Right?
