"WASHINGTON — 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 food aid 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.
Trump is cancelling an annual government survey that measures hunger in America, rather than allow it to show hunger increasing under his tenure,” Bobby Kogan, senior director of federal budget policy at the left-leaning Center for American Progress, said on social media. “This follows the playbook of many non-democracies that cancel or manipulate reports that would otherwise show less-than-perfect news."

3. POTEMPKIN villages on all fronts.

The SANTAYANA quotation has been repeated endlessly: "Those who don't remember the past are condemned to repeat it."

But recently, somewhere on the internet somebody deigned to differ, said that nobody learns from the past, everybody has to experience stuff for themselves.

AI Overview
A Potemkin village is a false, impressive façade or structure built to conceal a poor or undesirable reality, thereby deceiving viewers into believing the situation is better than it is. The term originates from a legend about Prince Grigory Aleksandrovich Potemkin, who allegedly constructed temporary, decorative villages with fake peasants and livestock along the route of Empress Catherine II's 1787 visit to Crimea to hide the region's actual poverty and poor development. The concept has since become a metaphor for any deceptive display, literal or figurative, that creates an illusion of prosperity or success.
