A federal program under fire from the Trump Administration has bought and shipped American grain to the world’s hungry for seven decades. Hear why the fight to save Food for Peace raises a fundamental question about the focus of U.S. international food aid.

Desde el año 2025, la administración de Trump ha pagado miles de millones de dólares a distintos países para la reubicación de inmigrantes. Muchos siguen esperando en la región central de Estados Unidos, con su futuro y su seguridad en el limbo.

President Trump has tried to kill Food for Peace – the nation’s leading international food aid program. Farm state legislators restarted it at the USDA, and pending legislation would keep it there permanently. But experts worry about the fate of food aid at an agency with no humanitarian mandate.

Democratic U.S. Rep. Sharice Davids says she’s hearing from Kansas residents who are struggling to make ends meet. In an interview with KCUR's Up To Date, Davids said President Trump went to war in Iran "without a clear strategy," and it's adding to the high cost of living.

The bipartisan legislation from U.S. Sens. Ted Cruz of Texas and Maria Cantwell of Washington state aims to “restore order in college athletics.”

The Trump administration’s drive to slash safety-net spending is hitting SNAP. As the cost of gasoline spikes, rent and utilities climb and food remains expensive, more than 3.5 million Americans have lost food benefits.

Enrollment in the Kansas SNAP program declined 12% since the federal legislation was signed into law last year by President Donald Trump.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture is proposing moving the Maize Genetics Cooperation Stock Center and the National Soybean Germplasm Collection from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign campus, where they've both been housed for decades.

Suspending the federal gas tax would require an act of Congress.

At issue is the TPS program, which permits eligible individuals to live and work in the United States if they cannot return to their home countries because of "extraordinary or temporary conditions." Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach is supporting the Trump administration's efforts to end the program.

Kansas City workers and activists are planning to rally at 5:30 p.m. at Washington Square Park downtown, across from the federal immigration court. Protest organizers are calling for a boycott of work, school and shopping to protest Trump administration policies, and demand protections for immigrants and unhoused residents during the World Cup.
