🚨OPERATION SNAP BACK: New York SNAP fraud across New York City just got confronted head on. @USDA investigators went into all FIVE boroughs, conducting hundreds of undercover investigations into bodegas, convenience stores, and grocery stores suspected of abusing the program. The result: 170 retailers are now facing enforcement action for violations including trafficking SNAP benefits for cash and illegally accepting benefits for alcohol and other ineligible items. Several cases have also been referred for criminal investigation and prosecution. This is about protecting two groups of people: families who rely on SNAP to put food on the table — and the hardworking taxpayers who fund it. Since the start of the Trump Administration, we have already: ➡️ Stopped more than $5.8 BILLION in fraud ➡️ Suspended or disqualified nearly 6,000 retailers ➡️ Disabled or blocked more than 2,000 illegal point-of-sale devices The message is simple: if you steal from American taxpayers or exploit a program meant to feed vulnerable families, we are coming after the fraud. We are not slowing down. 🇺🇸 @USDA_FNA @WHFraudTF @VP READ MORE👇 usda.gov/about-usda/new…

More progress in the fight against New World screwworm. Today, @TAHC released Infested Zone 10 counties — another key step in easing movement requirements and supporting Texas producers. After 100 days: ➡️ 3 active U.S. cases ➡️ 50 total U.S. cases For perspective: in 1972, Texas alone confirmed more than 90,000 screwworm cases in a single year. @USDA and @TAHC continue working together through robust surveillance, rapid response, and sterile fly releases to protect the American livestock industry. Additional zones will be released as soon as they meet the criteria. We are making real progress, but there is much more work to do. @Screwworm_RR TAHC Executive Order 🔗 tahc.texas.gov/regs/pdf/2026-…

The state's participation expands local inspection capacity, enhances food safety oversight, and boosts market access for small and very small meat and poultry processors while maintaining strong national standards. ✅ Supporting small plants. ✅ Strengthening resilience. ✅ Protecting consumers. 🔗 usda.gov/about-usda/new…

Faith is the foundation of our families, our communities, and our nation. For me personally — it is everything. Thanks to @POTUS, the federal government is once again standing with people of faith, not working against them.    President Trump has delivered 250 victories for believers across America, including:    🙏 Establishing the historic White House Faith Office and Centers for Faith across the federal government  🇺🇸 Creating the Religious Liberty Commission  ✝️ Launching the Task Force to Eradicate Anti-Christian Bias  🗣️ Restoring free speech and ending the weaponization of government against believers  🏫 Expanding school choice and protecting parents’ right to choose a faith-based education  👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Protecting life, strengthening adoption, and supporting families  ✝️Facing down a frivolous lawsuit that would muzzle my constitutionally protected speech 🙏 Launching America Prays ahead of our nation’s 250th birthday    At @USDA, we are ensuring that religious schools and faith based organizations can serve families, feed children, and strengthen communities without being forced to compromise their deeply held beliefs.

.@POTUS is right — it’s time to get a new Farm Bill across the finish line! 🇺🇸🌾 After Biden’s disastrous policies, our farmers, ranchers, and rural communities were left in their worst shape in decades. They deserve security and a government fighting for them. Yesterday’s Senate vote was an important step forward in that mission. Now it’s time to finish the job. President Trump is working to strengthen American agriculture, put farmers first, and pass the Farm Bill! 🇺🇸🚜💪

⚖️ LAWFARE UPDATE ⚖️ American dairy farmers pay mandatory checkoff assessments to build demand for milk, cheese, and butter — NOT to bankroll radical climate (ESG) agendas. ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) is the framework the Left has used to push emissions mandates and costly sustainability requirements on American agriculture. In plain English: Washington bureaucrats should not be using farmers’ own dollars to regulate cow burps, make it harder to raise cattle, or push fake meat onto American dinner tables. The war on cattle is OVER. Today, I directed @USDA to end Dairy Checkoff funding for ESG overregulation and ensure all Checkoff research and promotion programs stay focused on their core mission: expanding markets and supporting the hardworking men and women who feed this country. Producer dollars should serve producers. Period. READ MORE HERE ➡️ usda.gov/about-usda/new…

📍 Santa Teresa, New Mexico Today I toured the busiest livestock port on the US-Mexico border and met directly with ranchers and key officials about the work that has gone into protecting the American livestock industry from New World screwworm, and next steps moving forward. For 16 months, livestock ports along our southern border have remained closed as we built out an unprecedented response, strengthened surveillance, and worked with our partners to stop the spread of this devastating pest. @USDA’s phased reopening strategy has been tied to continued progress and layered safeguards designed to protect the US herd. That execution is producing results. And today’s visit was about making sure we keep protecting American livestock as trade resumes safely. We took a moment to reflect that after 100 days, we have only 2 active cases in our country. To compare… in 1972 — our ranchers (in Texas alone) faced more than 90,000 NWS cases that year. Thank you to @USDA_APHIS, @NMDeptAg, the New Mexico Livestock Board, SENASICA, and our ranching partners for helping move this fight forward. Progress, but much more to do.

Happy Constitution Day. 🇺🇸      On September 17, 1787, after a long, hot summer in Philadelphia, 39 delegates signed the United States Constitution.      George Washington presided. Benjamin Franklin was there. They had argued for months over representation, power, and liberty. Then they put their names on four pages that still govern us.      “We the People.”      Not a king. Not a committee. The people.      It is the oldest written national constitution still in force. It created a Republic of limited government, separated powers, and rights that do not come from Washington.      Our Founders knew it would only last if we fought to preserve it. John Adams said it was made for a moral and religious people. Washington called it the guide he would never abandon.      That charge is ours now. For our children. For the farmers and ranchers who feed this country. For every American who still believes the Constitution means what it says.      We the People. Then. Now. Always.      God bless America.

Four generations of American agriculture at Sunnycrest Farms. 🍎🫐🇺🇸      Today in New Hampshire, I toured this amazing family-owned farm and sat down with Granite State producers to hear directly about the challenges they are facing.      Ongoing drought has made this growing season especially difficult. That is why @USDA recently approved a disaster designation for qualifying New Hampshire counties, including Rockingham County.      The designation opens access to low-interest emergency loans and immediate cash-flow relief for eligible producers as they recover.      From targeted disaster assistance to support for specialty crop growers, @POTUS and USDA are fighting to ensure family farms like Sunnycrest can continue feeding their communities for generations to come.
