For all those wondering why Elon is scared of this conversation.

Let's walk through what actually happened here, in order.

DOGE cut the USAID program specifically designed to prevent screwworm from crossing the U.S.-Mexico border. DOGE cut USDA's animal disease control and prevention funding. That funding had supported more than 180 outbreak investigations in 22 countries and capacity-building in more than 160 laboratories. The screwworm monitoring and response program that watched the border for exactly this parasite - cut.

Then screwworm showed up in Texas cattle. Texas Governor Greg Abbott declared a disaster for Zavala and Uvalde counties this week.

Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins went on CNBC this morning and blamed the Biden administration, 17 months out of office.

Her specific words: "obviously not much had been done to push back."

The program that was supposed to push back existed. DOGE eliminated it in March 2025. Rollins has been Agriculture Secretary since February 13, 2025. The cuts happened on her watch.

Beef prices are already high. Ranchers in south Texas are now dealing with a flesh-eating parasite that was eradicated in this country in the 1960s - eradicated, specifically, using the sterile fly program her department defunded.

The flies existed. The program existed. The budget existed.

Until it didn't.

Shark Tank Billionaire Kevin O'leary says 2 people fighting data centers in Utah are Chinese agents. Turns out its just 2 local girls in Utah, they make a hilarious video calling him the fuck out

RFK Jr: "A Democratic senator claimed it's mathematically impossible to have a drug drop by 600%. I said, 'Well, if the drug was $100 and it raises to $600, that would be a 600% rise. If it drops from $600 to $100, that's a 600% savings.'"

Trump: "Right"

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

Inflation was 2.6% in October 2024 a month before Trump won. It was 3.0% in January when he was inaugurated.

Trump lies like the rest of us breathe. He lies to a financial journalist who doesn't correct him.

I doubt Pope Leo XIV will lose any sleep over this, before he begins his pilgrimage to Africa tomorrow. But the rest of us should. Because it is unhinged, uncharitable and unchristian. Is there no bottom to this moral squalor?

[James Tate @JamesTate121]

No, but I remember you covered up sexual assault at Ohio State and never wrote one bill in congress your entire political career.

The White House has removed this video from their social media channels.

But not before we could post it.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

Ok, Jamie: Let me clear things up for you.

If my 5% wealth tax on billionaires was enacted you’d owe $135 million more in taxes & a family of 4 making $150,000 or less would receive a $12,000 payment.

Oh, and you’d still be worth more than $2.5 billion. Seems pretty fair to me.

That's definitely an "L" right there

[Bob Pompeani @KDPomp]

Update-- Tom Wilson, despite, 6 previous suspensions and 3 fines, doesn't even get a hearing for a massive hit which clearly was a hit to the head of Logan Stankoven

While Bryan Rust ,who has NO previous history whatsoever, got 3 games for his hit on Brock Boeser

in hindsight, incredible restraint from these ICE officers in this horrific vehicular attack

[Alex Vindman 🇺🇸 @AVindman]

In a non-Trump world, based on this video, the ICE agent would immediately be suspended and investigated for murder.
