How can anyone trust them to provide food safely if they can give Trump money and suddenly the recall disappears?

The next time you hear people claiming that Canada's dairy tariff's are unjust, unfair, etc.* ... Bear in mind that they only kick in after a quota that's never been reached because Canadians generally perceive U.S. dairy as being of lower quality. This sort of thing probably won't change that.

* Trump does this regularly when justifying his latest tariffs.

The administration's corruption is so blatant in everything else, it's the default assumption now.

"Taylor Farms donated more than $2 million to conservative political groups in 2025, according to Federal Election Commission filings. That includes a $1 million donation to MAGA Inc., the Trump-centric super PAC, and $1.1 million to other super PACs dedicated to electing Republicans."

So arguably... yes. They leveraged their 'professional courtesy' with the government.

Every large company donates to both parties, are you new here?

But also arguably... no. They called the White House, but as I read the story they didn't get anything they wanted.
