In 2023 13.5% of Americans struggled at some point to secure enough food, the highest rate in nearly a decade...In rural America, the hunger rate is even higher at 15.4%."

Good thing Biden was focused giving rural America them highspeed Internet and electric chargers.

Good example of that here in rural maine. There was an uproar in the liberal Portland Press Herald because the Feds are holding back $4MM of the $19MM ear marked for electric charging stations here. The $19MM was budgeted to build 41 stations. That's a cost of $463k per station. They built 17 at a cost of $15MM or $882k each. The original $463k looks fraudulent since you can put one in your house for between $50k and $150k if the install is extreme but to then overrun the cost by over 400 each is mind scratching. But that is what is happening all over this country.

#20 They were Covid specified grants that were set to expire anyway, per your own link.

#23 "Separate federal funding through the Health Equity Immunization Grant was also rescinded for Bismarck-Burleigh Public Health, she said. That funding impacted the organization's ability to provide free COVID-19 tests and a portion of the salary for a vaccine specialist."

Different grant that was supposed to be through 2026.
The grant we are talking about was ending in Sept anyway.

Again, read again but try and comprehend this time.

#25 Moch said it was all related, losing grants. Your link is talking about two different grants. She is talking about losing funding for both are related. The big one in question was Covid related and was to expire in Sept.
And btw, wtf on Covid grants, they were originated to help people DURING the pandemic. It was declared over, by WHO and Joe Biden in May of 2023, two years ago! Anyone who is still sucking off that teet needs to be shut down.
