Outlet track record
USDA
U.S. federal government agency
The USDA is a Cabinet-level federal agency, so its official communications directly reflect the priorities of the sitting administration. Under Secretary Brooke Rollins, confirmed in February 2025, the department has reorganized to re-emphasize support for American farmers and ranchers while aligning its public messaging with the Trump administration's America First agenda. It is not an independent news outlet — its press releases, data publications, and research reports are official government communications.
Owned byU.S. federal government; led by the Secretary of Agriculture, currently Brooke Rollins, a Trump appointee confirmed by the Senate in February 2025
