.Dept. of Agriculture has NEVER had access to State SNAP data. Not until this Administration demanded it. That’s why every figure from years past is meaningless. From the 29 states that DID share data, we’ve already identified at least $3 billion a year in fraud. Extrapolated nationwide: more than $10 billion. This isn’t “erroneous payments.” This is FRAUD — and yes, Angie Craig, I know the difference. Do you?

On my first day Dept. of Agriculture, we told every state to send us their SNAP data so we could make sure illegal immigrants aren’t getting benefits meant for American families. 29 states stepped up. 21 blue states refused — and two SUED US FOR ASKING! 🤦🏻♀️ And guess what? In just the states that cooperated, we’ve already uncovered massive fraud. The Democrat Party has turned its back on working Americans and built its entire strategy around protecting illegal aliens. They know if the handouts stop, those illegals will go back home, and Democrats will lose 20+ seats after the next census. There’s a new sheriff in town. President Donald J. Trump will not tolerate waste, fraud, or abuse while hardworking Americans go hungry.

The MAHA movement doesn't stop with what we EAT — It's also about what we WEAR. For decades, America offshored textile jobs and allowed foreign synthetic, plastic-based materials to take over the clothing market. Together with Secretary Kennedy, the Great American Cotton Plan puts American-grown cotton FIRST again: supporting our farmers, strengthening U.S. manufacturing, and giving families a natural choice.

Dept. of Agriculture has confirmed multiple cases of New World Screwworm in Texas. We’re moving fast and smart. Last year, I rolled out a bold five-point plan to protect American livestock and stop this pest in its tracks: 1. Invest into our sterile fly production through the construction of a massive $750M sterile fly production facility at Moore Air Base. 2. Protect the U.S. border at all costs through enhanced surveillance, sterile insect dispersal, trapping, and livestock movement controls. 3. Maximize readiness by partnering with states on emergency plans, training, and securing treatments. 4. Take the fight directly to the screwworm with increased sterile fly dispersals across the U.S. - Mexico border. 5. Innovate our way to eradication through cutting-edge research, more efficient production, better traps, and next-generation tools. We’re already executing that plan on the ground: • 20-km zones with strict movement controls around both detections. • Heightened surveillance and trapping across the area. • Millions of sterile flies released weekly, 2 million aerial drops twice a week plus ground releases in the area to break the pest’s life cycle. • Strike teams, mobile labs, and emergency treatments deployed through unified command with Texas partners. Faced with the irresponsibility of both the Biden regime and too much of the Mexican one, we needed time — to prepare, to coordinate, and to ready the infrastructure to beat what was coming. We acted, and we got the time. Now the task is to turn the tide. We eradicated New World Screwworm once before, and we will do it again! For any questions, guidance, or feedback on NWS please email: [email protected]

We’re fighting the New World Screwworm threat. We pushed NWS out of the US in 1966 — but for the first time in the modern area we have cases in Texas again. This is a direct result of the Darien Gap being breached in 2022 thanks to the reckless open border policies of Biden-Harris that allowed it to SURGE through Central America and hit Mexico by 2024. But we were ready. Since Day 1 under President Donald J. Trump: - $1.3 billion deployed to fight NWS - New sterile fly technologies - Moore Air Base production facility ($750M) underway in Texas - New dispersal sites operational - Metapa, Mexico facility opening this month — adding 100 million sterile flies Increased border surveillance, trapping, and targeted releases already in effect. Farm Security = National Security. We WILL eradicate this threat.

On the ground in South Texas at Chaparrosa Ranch — just miles from where the first New World Screwworm case was found. We rode the pastures, checked the cattle, and looked for anything out of the ordinary. The good news? That first calf is now completely healthy and back to normal 9 days later. This is the fight ahead of us — but we are ready. Equipped. And standing shoulder to shoulder with incredible cattlemen and cowboys like JR Ramirez who do this work every single day. If you see something, report it immediately. That’s how we get Dept. of Agriculture and Texas Animal Health Commission resources to you fast — and how we stay ahead of this threat.

Today, just four companies — JBS, Cargill, Tyson Foods, and National Beef — control roughly 85% of the cattle processing market. That level of concentration has surged from just 25% in 1977 to 71% by 1992, and now to an astonishing 85%. Together, these companies operate through dozens of subsidiary businesses, creating a landscape that leaves many of our cattle producers with limited marketing options. For some ranchers this means less marketing opportunities, complicating an already challenging marketplace. We must work to address this to protect our ranchers and consumers. President Donald J. Trump and this administration are focused on promoting fairness and competition — ensuring our producers have options and a level playing field. 🇺🇸🥩

NO DATA, NO MONEY — it’s that simple. If a state won’t share data on criminal use of SNAP benefits, it won’t get a dollar of federal SNAP administrative funding. Let’s see which states stand for accountability and which are just protecting their bribery schemes. 🤔💸

For years, the Democrats let fraudsters abuse SNAP and take advantage of this massive government program — the Biden admin ballooning it by 40% as they tried to buy votes with your tax dollars. It is hard to fully comprehend what would have happened If President Trump hadn’t won. This program and so many others would have continued to grow unchecked and freedom as we know it would have been lost forever. We are working with relentless intention with our great Vice President JD Vance’s Task Force to Eliminate Fraud, our USDA team, and the Dog Park. So far: • 4.3 million people moved off SNAP; • Over 355,000 people getting double benefits found; • 186,000 dead people getting benefits; 440,000 people using dummy SSNs • 893 arrests by USDA alone, so many more by Daniel More coming. STAY TUNED. 🇺🇸

The facts are clear: America’s beef cattle herd is at its lowest level since the 1950s. As of January 1, we have just 27.6 million head of beef cows. Over the past decade alone, we’ve lost more than 17% of our cattle ranchers, with over 100,000 ranches disappearing across the country. This is the reality we inherited — driven by the radical left’s climate alarmism, years of drought, wildfires, market volatility, and overregulation. President Donald J. Trump and this administration are committed to reversing that trend — strengthening the American beef industry, supporting our ranchers, and preserving this way of life for the next generation. 🇺🇸🥩

Three major steps we announced today to strengthen American fertilizer production and support our farmers and ranchers. 🇺🇸 🚜 1️⃣ The Blue Point Project in Louisiana is moving at “Trump speed.” Within 45 days, permitting is expected to wrap up for a $3.7 BILLION ammonia plant that will become the world’s largest ammonia plant — creating hundreds of jobs and strengthening America’s fertilizer supply chain. 2️⃣ Trump's USDA is fixing Biden’s broken Fertilizer Production Expansion Program and getting projects over the finish line. When we inherited the program, only 8 of 121 projects had reached completion. Many were stalled by red tape and climate mandates instead of focused on fertilizer production. We are now working directly with every awardee to move high-impact projects forward — including: ✅ An $80 million Washington state project expected to produce 700,000 tons annually of hydrogen ammonia fertilizer and support 200+ jobs ✅ A $3.89 million Iowa project expanding domestic organic fertilizer production Together, these projects are expected to unlock over 2 million tons of new annual fertilizer capacity, support 61,000 producers, cover 30 million additional acres, and create more than 500 jobs. 3️⃣ USDA is increasing transparency for farmers. Effective immediately, we are searching for a full-time input economist dedicated to tracking input costs and improving market transparency so we can better support America’s farmers and ranchers. All-in, the projects announced today are expected to increase domestic fertilizer production by approximately 4.5 million tons per year — serving roughly 400,000 producers and 290 million acres of farmland. This is an important step toward reshoring fertilizer production and putting American agriculture first again.

New SNAP stocking standards are raising the bar for real nutrition. We’re requiring more than 250,000 retailers to stock, at minimum, 28 varieties of healthy staples. more than doubling the old minimum of just 12. That means 7 varieties per category. 🥩 More real meat, poultry & fish 🥛 More dairy 🍞 More nutritious breads & grains 🥦 More fruits & vegetables No more loopholes letting jelly count as fruit or processed snacks stand in for real food! Better nutrition for families. Stronger protection for taxpayers against waste and fraud. This is MAHA in action!

🥛 From the heart of Groton, New York — right here on the Carey family dairy farm. This land has been home to the generations of incredible Carey dairymen (and women!!) since 1899. Fourth generation to my right, fifth to my left… and a sixth generation on the way with a wedding coming soon. It’s National Dairy Month, and we’re making real change in Washington: whole milk is back in our schools, new dietary guidelines are putting real food and dairy back at the center of policy, and U.S. dairy exports are up 17%. God bless our dairy farmers. 🇺🇸

We are treating the confirmed case of New World Screwworm in a Texas cattle ranch with the utmost seriousness and are responding aggressively alongside our state partners Texas Animal Health Commission. USDA's proactive actions bought us nearly a year to prepare, as models had projected New World Screwworm would reach the United States by the summer of 2025. That preparation allowed us to move immediately when this case was detected. After years of unchecked spread through Central and South America, this devastating pest has now reached the United States. The Trump Administration and USDA acted swiftly, activating our New World Screwworm Response Playbook, establishing quarantines and movement controls, accelerating sterile fly releases, expanding border trapping, and intensifying livestock and wildlife surveillance. We are using every tool available, in partnership with states, ranchers, and wildlife officials, to eradicate this pest before it can spread and threaten American cattle producers.

Here in La Pryor, Texas at Rock Creek Ranch. Joined by new Senior Advisor for New World Screwworm Preparedness John Bellinger and Southern Texas rancher Robbie, who spotted the first case and notified authorities immediately. Robbie and his family at Rock Creek Ranch are the true stars today — their vigilance made all the difference. We're looking at Case One right now: the calf is doing great and fully recovered after about nine days. Ranchers, keep your eyes on the cattle and report any cases right away. We've beaten this before, and with new tools and facilities coming online, we'll beat it again. New World Screwworm Rapid Response

America should NEVER rely on Russia, the Middle East, or foreign adversaries for the fertilizer that powers U.S. agriculture. 🇺🇸 That’s why we launched an all-of-government effort to reshore American fertilizer production, strengthen supply chain security, cut input costs for farmers, and fast-track domestic manufacturing. The United States currently imports nearly 20 million metric tons of fertilizer annually — representing roughly $9 billion in foreign purchases every year — despite already producing more than 22 million metric tons domestically. This is an economic issue, a farm security issue, and a national security issue. We’re moving at Trump speed to bring fertilizer production back home, reduce dependence on foreign competitors, support American jobs, and deliver long-term fertilizer independence for the farmers who feed, fuel, and clothe this nation. That includes helping accelerate projects like CF Industries’ proposed $3.7 billion Blue Point ammonia facility in Louisiana — projected to become the largest ammonia plant in the world and produce 1.4 million metric tons annually right here in the United States. We are making HUGE progress — so grateful to President Donald J. Trump and my fellow Cabinet Secretary Chris Wright, Lee Zeldin, Director Kevin Hassett. More announcements coming!! The work continues.

Today we launched the Great American Cotton Plan — a bold 4-pillar strategy to strengthen and secure the future of American cotton. 1️⃣ Promote American-grown cotton over foreign synthetic fibers and plastics 2️⃣ Expand domestic production and support U.S. textile manufacturing 3️⃣ Open new export markets and boost global demand for U.S. cotton 4️⃣ Protect growers from pests, trade pressures, and economic risk From new trade agreements to expanded support for textile mills and increased global demand, Dept. of Agriculture, SBA, and HHS are working together to restore America’s cotton strength and competitiveness. Under President Donald J. Trump, American agriculture is back!! 🇺🇸💪👖

SNAP fraud is out of control, and the numbers we HAVE prove it. Data from just 29 states uncovered nearly 200,000 people with dead people’s social security numbers… Meanwhile, 21 states are suing to keep their data hidden. Why block transparency unless the truth is worse than the headlines? 🤦🏻♀️ This is exactly what happens when a massive program runs on outdated lists and zero accountability. Not to mention the 40% increase in recipients under the Biden Administration… 🤔 It’s time to clean up SNAP NOW!!!
