• USDA posts partisan messaging on food assistance homepage blaming Democrats for shutdown — The USDA's food and nutrition homepage displays a banner with a "strikingly partisan message" falsely accusing Senate Democrats of shutting down the government to provide healthcare to undocumented immigrants and transgender Americans. The notice states "the well has run dry" and announces no benefits will be issued November 1. The messaging conflates the shutdown with unrelated policy disputes and uses federal infrastructure to spread misinformation about the cause of the fiscal crisis.
• USDA falsely claims SNAP will run out of funding on November 1 — The USDA's official website asserts that the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) will exhaust funding on November 1, 2025, and attributes the shortfall to Democratic opposition to funding for "health care for illegal immigrants" and "gender mutilation procedures." According to Popular Information's investigation, both claims are false. SNAP has a $6 billion contingency reserve sufficient to fund the program for several additional weeks. The USDA previously issued guidance (September 30) explicitly authorizing use of contingency funds for regular benefits, but has since removed that guidance from its website. Democrats are not blocking SNAP funding over immigration or transgender healthcare; they are seeking extension of health insurance subsidies for U.S. citizens.
• Government websites display partisan political content blaming vulnerable groups — Multiple U.S. government websites, including those of the USDA and Department of Homeland Security, published content attributing the government shutdown to transgender people and undocumented immigrants rather than to policy decisions. The websites functioned as platforms for partisan messaging rather than neutral information dissemination.

• Trump promoted non-standard medical guidance on Tylenol and vaccines — On Truth Social, Trump repeated calls for pregnant women to abstain from using Tylenol "UNLESS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY" and advised against giving the drug to young children "FOR VIRTUALLY ANY REASON," along with other suggested vaccine guidelines that deviate from the current childhood immunization schedule.
• Trump posted medical misinformation about vaccines and medications for pregnant women and children. — Trump posted on social media advising pregnant women not to use Tylenol unless absolutely necessary, not to give Tylenol to young children, and to break up the MMR vaccine into three separate shots rather than the combined version. He also advised delaying hepatitis B vaccination until age 12 or older and spacing vaccines across five separate medical visits. These recommendations contradict established medical guidance from health authorities.
