Trump Administration Ends U.S. Annual Report on Hunger in America

HeadlineSep 22, 2025

The Trump administration has ended the U.S.’s annual report on food insecurity and hunger in America. It comes two-and-a-half months after Trump signed into law a tax and spending bill sharply reducing the number of Americans receiving food stamps. The U.S. Department of Agriculture said it was no longer issuing the annual hunger report, claiming, “The data is rife with inaccuracies.” On social media, Bobby Kogan of the Center for American Progress said, “This follows the playbook of many non-democracies that cancel or manipulate reports that would otherwise show less-than-perfect news.”
