@atrupar The ultimate irony: the EPA raid on Troy Lake’s shop happened during Trump’s first term (2018), the prosecution under Biden, and Trump returns in 2025 to pardon him and blame Democrats.

@nicksortor Again you are a moron:
The case involves diesel mechanic Troy Lake, convicted of conspiracy to violate the Clean Air Act by removing emissions controls like DEF systems on commercial trucks; he served seven months of a one-year sentence
The New World Screwworm Facility the USDA continues touting, even if expedited, will not come online for months and months, if not years. Also, it will only have the capacity to produce 300M weekly and we need 500M weekly to sufficiently combat this pest
There is a solution RIGHT NOW to deploy mobile sterile fly dispersal units at the border to get us to the 500M weekly fly production capacity needed to prevent this from spreading and becoming cataclysmic for the country
The National Emergency Declaration will eliminate the bottleneck at the USDA, allowing for the mobile units to be stood up IMMEDIATELY
This is last our best chance, LET'S GET IT DONE

IF YOU THINK BEEF PRICES ARE HIGH NOW, IMAGINE WHAT THEY WILL BE AFTER FLESH EATING MAGGOTS WIPE OUT A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF THE REMAINING US CATTLE SUPPLY
WE NEED A NATIONAL EMERGENCY DECLARATION ON NEW WORLD SCREWWORM NOW, WE ARE TIRED OF WAITING FOR COMPETENT ACTION
Ya know at the end of the day I am for rational policies and an end to the bullshit on both sides, Today it is the screwworm, this is a North America problem not a Trump Problem.
The primary COPEG facility in Panama kept running at full capacity. APHIS continued funding it, unlocked emergency funding (via the Commodity Credit Corporation) to boost sterile-fly production and dispersal, and requested additional money in FY2025 for infrastructure upgrades at the Panama site.
This stupid crap is really wearing on me

@nicksortor You fucking liars; Farm bankruptcies (Chapter 12 filings for family farms) in the US rose sharply in 2025 and have continued climbing in 2026
