# Trump’s Agriculture Secretary Shuts Down Biden’s Woke Spending Spree

In yet another victory against government waste and left-wing lunacy, U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins has axed a taxpayer-funded contract that funneled money into a New York program “educating” transgender and queer farmers on so-called “food justice and food equality.” Even Rollins herself admitted she had no idea what the program was actually supposed to accomplish—other than wasting taxpayer dollars and appeasing radical activists.

This move is part of a larger crackdown by the Trump administration on what they rightly call “woke spending.” The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and other federal agencies have been aggressively eliminating wasteful grants, shutting down hundreds of leftist pet projects that do nothing to benefit hardworking Americans.

### Rollins Calls Out ‘Absurd’ Biden-Era Grants

Speaking on the matter, Rollins made it clear that this is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to exposing how the Biden administration recklessly burned through taxpayer money on nonsense.

“Let me just add to that, and thank you,” Rollins said in her remarks, discussing the administration’s effort to clean up government waste. “We just had a wonderful cabinet meeting, and we all aligned on the effort to realign the government. But even at the U.S. Department of Agriculture, we’ve canceled a $300,000 contract educating on ‘food justice’ for queer and transgender farmers in San Francisco.”

She went on to reveal that this was not an isolated case of ideological nonsense disguised as public policy.

“We canceled a similar contract in New York, again, educating transgender and queer farmers on food justice and food equality. I’m not even sure what that means,” she said. “But apparently, the last administration wanted to put our taxpayer dollars towards that.”

Rollins then exposed yet another absurd project—this one even more outrageous than the last.

“We canceled a $600,000 contract, out of Louisiana, that was studying the menstrual cycles of transgender men,” she said. “A $600,000 contract.”

Yes, you read that right. The Biden administration wasted over half a million dollars studying the nonexistent menstrual cycles of biological men.

Rollins continued to lay out more examples of the left’s insanity, revealing yet another absurdly woke grant:

“We canceled another contract out of a university in the middle of the country that focused on getting more diversity, equity, and inclusion into our pest management industry.”

Because, of course, nothing screams “pressing national concern” like ensuring proper pronoun usage in pest control.

The American people didn’t take this news lightly. A clip of Rollins’ speech was posted to X (formerly Twitter) on March 22, 2025, and the responses were nothing short of fiery.

One user summed up the sheer ridiculousness of the program, writing:

“I didn’t realize transgenders and queer farmers eat and farm differently than non-transgenders and straight farmers do.”

Another pointed out the blatant wastefulness of these programs:

“Their intention was to waste taxpayer dollars on woke nonsense instead of real agricultural issues—because apparently, crops now need pronouns too.”

Many commenters were furious that while their hard-earned tax dollars were being wasted on this nonsense, the Biden administration had been hiring 87,000 new IRS agents to squeeze even more money out of struggling Americans.

“The Democrats did this with our money while hiring 87,000 IRS agents to come after us and making us report moving money over $600. These people belong in jail, not elections!”

Others suspected a more sinister motive behind these bizarrely specific grants, speculating that they were little more than money laundering operations disguised as woke social justice programs.

“It was money laundering disguised with 3rd-rail adjectives meant to keep anyone from asking what the hell it is, out of fear of being assigned one of the Dem’s lunatic labels. End all this now. Investigate who all the money was laundered to and prosecute everyone involved.”

Another user echoed that suspicion:

“These nonsensical programs are just the label they slapped on them so they could launder more money to themselves. The ridiculousness of the program names is an additional slap in the face of the taxpayers.”

### The Trump Administration’s Fight Against Government Waste

The elimination of these grants is part of the Trump administration’s broader effort to drain the swamp and stop taxpayer money from funding left-wing ideological nonsense.

Instead of throwing money at absurd social justice pet projects, the administration is redirecting funds toward actual issues—like securing the border, fixing America’s food supply chain, and ensuring that our farmers can produce enough food to keep America running.

The contrast between Trump and Biden could not be clearer:

Biden wasted millions on gender studies in agriculture and DEI in pest control.
Trump is cutting the nonsense and making sure every tax dollar is spent on policies that actually help Americans.

The question now is, how many more of these woke boondoggles are still hiding in the budget?

If the Democrats had their way, they’d funnel even more taxpayer dollars into ridiculous social experiments instead of focusing on real-world problems. But with Trump in the White House, the days of unchecked government waste are coming to an end.

One thing is certain: American taxpayers won’t tolerate another round of Biden’s woke spending spree.
