Outgoing Deputy Secretary Jewel Bronaugh and United Farm Workers President Emeritus Arturo Rodriguez headed the commission.

We didn't want this set of interim recommendations to look like things we've seen in previous reports.

We wanted to get at systemic change, Tom Vilsack, Agriculture Secretary, via NPR.

NPR reports that a final report is expected by the end of 2023.

The group's recommendations reportedly include making it easier for farmers to qualify for conservation programs and making Farm Service Agency loans more accessible.

There's a reason why this is different.

We have very serious people around this table, Tom Vilsack, Agriculture Secretary, via NPR.

People that have lived experiences, people who have studied and dedicated their life to these issues and it would be disrespectful for us not to take this work incredibly seriously, Tom Vilsack, Agriculture Secretary, via NPR.

NPR reports that the commission's 32 recommendations cover how USDA works with farmers, the structure of the department itself and other programs like nutrition assistance.

The report also recommends supporting congressional legislation, conducting research on distribution within programs and increasing language access.

Trump Praises Laura Loomer Amid MAGA Crisis As She Launches Tip Line To Purge ‘Disloyal’ Officials

As MAGA infighting deepens, Donald Trump has publicly praised far-right activist Laura Loomer, calling her a “very nice person” and a “patriot” in response to a reporter's pointed question about her influence in his circle. The endorsement comes amid Loomer's own controversy — she recently unveiled a “tip line” aimed at helping Trump allies report and remove “disloyal” government staffers. Loomer claims Biden holdovers and anti-Trump insiders are sabotaging the movement from within and insists “hundreds” need to be purged. The president's warm words about her raise eyebrows, especially as he attempts to consolidate power ahead of the upcoming election. Loomer’s call for a MAGA-only government has sparked concern across Washington, while Trump appears to embrace her ideology. Critics see the move as a dangerous precedent, while supporters argue it's a long-overdue loyalty check. The line between activism and influence seems blurrier than ever inside Trump’s inner circle. #Trump #LauraLoomer #MAGA #TipLine #WhiteHouse #PoliticalPurge #DisloyalStaffers #Trump2024 #RadicalRight #DonaldTrump #FederalGovernment #BidenHoldovers #LoyaltyPurge #TrumpAdmin #FarRightPolitics #ConservativeActivism #MAGAInfighting #Patriotism #DeepState #Politico

Trump RIPS Charlamagne “The God” As ‘Low IQ Sleazebag’ | Attacks Daughter-In-Law’s Interview

U.S President Donald Trump launched a harsh public tirade against Charlamagne “The God,” calling him a “racist sleazebag” and “low IQ individual” while questioning the acceptability of his self-appointed moniker. Trump also took aim at his daughter-in-law, Lara Trump, for appearing on Charlamagne’s show—highlighting the irony of her high ratings success. In a scathing statement, he hailed his own record of ending five wars, bolstering the economy, and slashing inflation, while denouncing “stupid and corrupt” President Joe Biden. The accusations included wiping out Iran’s nuclear ambitions and fixing the border, crafting a braggadocious defense of his performance in office. His unfiltered critique of both media and family members drew widespread attention, fueling a media storm and sparking debate about the boundaries of political discourse and public insult. #TrumpRant #CharlamagneTheGod #LaraTrump #LowIQ #RacistSleazebag #TrumpAttacks #FamilyDrama #EndingWars #TradePolicy #IranNukes #BorderSecurity #InflationDrop #MAGA #MediaFury #PoliticalInsults #SleazebagComment #TrumpEconomy #TrumpQuotes #PoliticalBombshell #TabloidHeadlines

US BREAKING: Trump FIRES Top Labor Official After Jobs Report Shows Tariffs RAISED Unemployment

President Trump has fired Bureau of Labor Statistics Director Erika McEntarfer following a disappointing July jobs report that added only 73,000 jobs and included major downward revisions to May and June. Trump accused the agency of political manipulation, claiming the numbers were “rigged” and damaging to the economy. Unemployment ticked up to 4.2%, sparking a 1.5% market drop. McEntarfer, a Biden appointee, became a target of Trump’s fury as economists warn that politicizing labor data could erode trust in a cornerstone of economic governance. #Trump #JobsReport #Unemployment #BLS #LaborStats #ErikaMcEntarfer #EconomicData #TruthSocial #JobMarket #TrumpNews #JulyJobs #MarketCrash #PoliticalDrama #USPolitics #DataManipulation #Economy2025 #JobsCrisis #BidenAppointee #TrumpFires #MarketReaction #EconomicTrust #WhiteHouse #TrumpRage #JobNumbers #LaborForce #RevisedData #TrumpSpeech #USLabor #EmploymentCrisis #BreakingNews Also Read Government Reacts To Donald Trump's Statement, Scraps Reports Of Indian Oil Firms Halting Russian Imports :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/government-reacts-to-donald-trumps-statement-scraps-reports-of-indian-oil-firms-halting-russian-im-7818621.html?ref=DMDesc US vs. Russia: Trump Deploys Nuclear Submarines Amid Rising Tensions With Kremlin :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/u-s-vs-russia-trump-deploys-nuclear-submarines-amid-rising-tensions-with-kremlin-7818561.html?ref=DMDesc US Prez Trump Announces New US Tariffs - Full List of Affected Nations :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-prez-trump-announces-new-us-tariffs-full-list-of-affected-nations-011-7817571.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.102~HT.408~GR.125~
