The USDA oversees big federal nutrition programs such as food stamps and school lunch. Project 2025, a right-leaning Trump agenda plan, aims to increase the work requirement for food stamps and reduce school lunch programs to cover only the most impoverished children. Although he wasn't involved in the writing of Project 2025, Rollins' role in ensuring that the taxpayer dollars are spent to the best on nutrition programs was criticized. Funding for USDA school meal programs came in at more than $50 billion last fiscal year, in sharp contrast with $27.6 billion for 2020. Texas turned down millions in federal funding to feed school children during summer, which was blasted by U.S. Rep. Sylvia Garcia, who battled potential nutrition program cuts. The U.S. Senate voted 72-28 to confirm Brooke Rollins as USDA leader to the nomination. Rollins, a policy adviser at the White House and Donald Trump's friend, will lead an agency with 100,000 employees that oversees farm programs, food aid, and school lunches.
