- Trump told agencies to ferret out ‘gender ideology extremism.’ The USDA found very little, new records show.
President Trump ordered federal agencies to identify and cancel contracts promoting 'gender ideology extremism' in 2025.

Critics questioned the USDA's limited findings, noting its historically conservative stance on gender and minority issues.
