      Exactly. Trump called it “small potatoes,” so I’m thinking Department of Agriculture is in charge. At least it’s out of Hegseth’s hands. He’s an idiot by MAGA standards.

Why create new news community? I’m tired of getting banned by crazy lemmy moderators under made up reasons for posting news articles (likely reddit subversive operation).
Also most of news communities are empty - this one will be full of content.
So i’m now creating my own community. everyone welcome, let’s tear reddit down together.
