.@SecRollins on efforts to combat and eradicate the New World Screwworm: We have moved the testing from Iowa to our brand new facility in Texas. The upcoming Edinburg, TX facility will give us about 300-400M sterile flies. We opened a new dispersal facility that allows us to better disperse the flies that are currently being born in Panama.

🚨MAJOR: Some of the first photos of what the flesh eating New World ScrewWorm is doing to animals.

This will shock the world

🚨SCREWWORM

Photo sent to me by a veterinarian friend of mine. A deer has been found in the central Texas area that has been infected with screwworms

Below is a photo of the aftermath

This ain’t good, guys. Please share so your rancher friends know it’s quickly moving north

Translation: get ready to pay more.

We're being conditioned for sticker shock.

Rep. Dusty Johnson: "Beef is still an incredible value. We're not used to paying $8 or $9 for a pound of ground beef, but you compare the nutrition in a pound of beef to a $9 bag of chips, and I would tell you beef still packs a powerful punch."

[World News Tonight @ABCWorldNews]

The detection of New World screwworm in cattle does not pose a risk to beef consumers, and humans are unlikely to become infected by the parasite themselves, experts told @ABC News. https://t.co/pPZ6No37CF

[The Lincoln Project @ProjectLincoln]

The CDC just declared a national emergency for the screwworm spread. @repgabeevans @RepCiscomani you should be screaming about this threat potentially headed to your district's farms. Trump and DOGE brought this on your agriculture industries.

[D. Scott @eclipsethis2003 @eclipsethis2003]

Secretary Brooke Rollins asks why the Biden USDA did nothing to stop screwworm from entering America:

“What I don’t understand… is how did the last USDA watch it coming for years? Why did no one do anything about it until we walked in the door?”

[New World Screwworm @NWScrewworm]

Organized crime?

Fantastic. Maybe now everyone can stop trying to pin this on their least favorite politician and we can get back to figuring out how the hell screwworms ended up in Texas, how far they've spread, and how we're going to get rid of them.

[FactPost @factpostnews]

The CDC has declared a national emergency as screwworm cases spread.

[OOGA @MikeBobich]

I wonder why kol’s are trying to push the vamp so hard, couldn’t be the 42% top 10 holding right??

Anyways buy new world screwworm

100k for this is silly when hanta hit 15m

[Zeke Darwin @Zeke_Darwin]

I’ve been talking about the upcoming screwworm invasion for years.

The DOGE cuts happened at an absolutely terrible time and it was clear back then we were making a mistake.

…hopefully we learn something from it, but I’m not getting my hopes up.

We should fund science.

[CNN @CNN]

Researchers have warned for years that illegal cattle smuggling has quickened the return of screwworm to its ceded territory in Central America. It has since spread northward to Mexico, Texas and, as of this week, New Mexico. https://t.co/SWu7HKpltF

[Polymarket @Polymarket]

8% chance a national emergency is declared this month. https://t.co/WcOo5CBS6L

[Annie @AnnieForTruth]

Texas is battling multiple cases of the flesh-eating screwworms. The Trump administration is responsible for this mess as they cut funding for the monitoring and prevention of screwworms. Farmers are already struggling with higher diesel and fertilizer costs, and going bankrupt.

🚨 BREAKING: CDC ACTIVATES SCREWWORM EMERGENCY RESPONSE AS CASES INCREASE

[Anttsinc @anttsinc]

🚨 Screwworm panic is ramping up — more dogs getting confirmed positive as this flesh-eating parasite moves north.

A dog from the Texas-Mexico border was transported and became the first confirmed case hitting the Texas-New Mexico border area. Vets are starting to voice serious fears about spread.

Check your pets daily for wounds, maggots, foul smells. Stay vigilant, DFW & Texas!
Who else watching this closely? 👇 #Screwworm #PetSafety #Texas

[Shawn Harris for Congress @ShawnForGeorgia]

I'm a cattle farmer, and I can tell you this isn't something we can afford to ignore.

Even Trump's allies are now saying Washington isn't doing enough to stop the screwworm outbreak before it spreads further.

Farmers need straight answers, real support, and action. Waiting until it's a crisis isn't a plan.

I'll be discussing the screwworm threat tomorrow morning on Voices from the Dirt Road at 7 AM ET.

Leadership Matters!!

CDC ACTIVATES SCREWWORM EMERGENCY RESPONSE AS CASES INCREASE

[Naeem Aslam @NaeemAslam23]

🚨 🇺🇸 CDC SCREWWORM RESPONSE PUTS CATTLE, FOOD PRICES AND RANCH COSTS ON ALERT

CDC and USDA updates show New World screwworm cases confirmed in Texas and New Mexico after the first U.S. return in decades. Federal agencies are using surveillance, quarantines, emergency treatments and sterile-fly releases to contain the livestock threat.

This is not only an animal-health story. A pest outbreak can hit cattle supply, ranch margins, beef prices and rural insurance before consumers feel it.

Cattle prices stay supported when herd risk rises. Food inflation pressure cools only when containment holds and new cases slow.
