The face of extremist #Project2025 evil is here in #MAGA climate denier USDA Secretary Brooke Rollins: "[This #LFPA] was a new program, an effort by the left to spend taxpayer dollars that were not necessary" to support local food, local farms & farmers, & healthy kids. Got it.
Q: USDA cancels $1 billion in local food purchasing for schools and food banks. How do you justify that?
Trump’s Agriculture Secretary: That program was not essential

Unfortunately he’s interested in throwing money at Argentina and subsidizing their farmers and ranchers. All while propping up another wanna be dictator.

Now that Trump has shut down the government, Democrats need to be loud and confident in our argument.
No 75% premium increases. No lawlessness.
That’s what we are fighting for. The people will be with us. But only if we show strength.
Project 2025, the conservative governing blueprint that President Donald Trump distanced himself from during the 2024 campaign but that he has broadly moved to enact once in office, calls for dismantling NOAA and further commercializing the weather service. https://t.co/bXicM0oETC
