The Trump administration is ending a USDA assistance initiative as the country’s food pantries are “stretched to the breaking point" and a hunger crisis looms.
Their small farms helped stock food pantries. That program is going away.

Tyranny, plain and simple.
Shorn of the legalities, the Admin basic position is that we can do whatever we want if we say it's national security (and that includes Trump lies about same, which can't be questioned) and we don't have to tell court or anyone why.
That's tyranny, plain and simple.

Barron Trump was born before Melania Trump obtained U.S. citizenship. Does that make him an anchor baby? Under Trump's new orders, would he have U.S. citizenship?

The Trump Administration’s hiring freeze has led the National Parks Service to cancel job offers for seasonal employees. We are concerned this could leave our parks understaffed during the busy summer season, which sees over 100 million visitors annually.

Thank goodness: after an outpouring of public dissent, Lackland reversed its terrible decision and will thankfully be teaching recruits about the Tuskegee airmen and the Women Airforce Service Pilots again. A reminder that we must always push back: www.expressnews.com/news/article...
Air Force says new recruits will again learn about Tuskegee Airmen
