Summary
The Trump administration’s spending cuts have led to the abrupt termination of USAID contracts with Mana, a US Georgia-based nonprofit that produces life-saving food for malnourished children.
The cuts amount to $12 million—35% of Mana’s orders—impacting 300,000 children in countries like the Democratic Republic of the Congo and South Sudan.
USAID cited a lack of alignment with its priorities. Despite Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s exemption for humanitarian aid, Mana’s contracts were still canceled.
The nonprofit is now seeking alternative buyers, such as UNICEF.

Remember when the guy who is pushing this said he’d pay a few billion to end world hunger if they could prove it would, but the lost want itemized enough?
And they kick into three directions at once! The Billionaires get their rocks off by letting little kids starve, the company that produces and packs those food packs will have to find other jobs, or reduce their work force, and the peanut farmers who earned money from this system will need to find other customers.

We’re at the eleventh hour. Mere moments away from actually having a fully functional orphan crushing machine.
And for the first time ever, they will have actually created something powered by liberal tears.
