Trump eliminated USAID’s Feed the Future program which purchased 1.1 million metric tons of food (sorghum, corn, beans, rice, vegetable oil) from U.S. farmers.
These farm products were distributed to 45 million people in 35 countries and created dependable markets for American producers.

One Minnesota pastor's idea of forgiveness was forcing kids to hug their abuser, then keep quiet.
By ignoring mandated reporting laws, he allowed the abuser to find "hundreds" of victims.
It's a horrifying story.
