Rep. Fletcher: The New World screwworm has been found in Texas. This flesh-eating parasite previously eradicated from the U.S. poses a huge threat to our cattle. Last March, the Trump administration fired more than 15,000 USDA employees and eliminated a program to contain the screwworm in Central America. The threat of New World screwworm is just one consequence of the Trump administration's reckless campaign to eliminate funding for government programs that Americans rely on.

🚨 TERRIFYING: The Trump administration openly admits to a massive government purge. Top officials confirm a new executive order designed to systematically fire any federal workers who resist their extreme agenda.

Washington is actively destroying all institutional oversight!

Corporation: "We made $4B but spent $3.9B so we only owe taxes on $100M."
Government: "Totally reasonable."

You: "I made $60K but spent $58K on survival."
Government: "You owe taxes on $60K."
You: "That's not—"
Government: "File by May 15."

Hotez is right - Ebola won't spread like COVID. The transmission dynamics are fundamentally different. That's the good news and it's real.

The harder news: this is already one of the three largest Ebola outbreaks in history. Detected late because diagnostic tools weren't calibrated for the Bundibugyo strain. USAID gutted. WHO partnership ended. The early warning infrastructure that existed to catch exactly this kind of delayed-detection scenario wasn't there.

The gap between the response we had and the response we built for this exact moment - that gap has a cost. It's being counted in Congo right now.

never forget when rand paul sat on the senate floor and railed against federal funding to study the screwworm’s reproductive cycle as wasteful 😌

Exclusive: National park entry fees are going towards the Trump administration's $1.6 million July Fourth fireworks display and towards a D.C. beautification project, while donations will fund a $5 million helipad at the White House.

🚨🚨🚨

Bill Pulte was picked to join Blanche, Patel, Hegseth, and Mullin to be ready to help Trump stay in power no matter what. Do congressional Democrats appreciate that their #1 task is to confront this threat?

Members of Congress don’t swear an oath to a political party.

They swear to support and defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic.

Two hundred seven Republicans betrayed their oath.

Neil deGrasse Tyson: “Whatever [the next outbreak] is, we ain’t ready for it. We still have anti-vaxxers running around.”

“I don’t trust scientists. I saw a YouTube video, so I’m not going to take it.” (mocking)

“I don’t want you to ever forget this story.”

“20,000 years ago, we’re in the cave. Do you know what the life expectancy was?”

Shannon Sharpe: “10 years? 15 years?”

Neil deGrasse Tyson: “30. Half of everyone born was dead before they were 30.”

Shannon Sharpe: “Wow!!!”

Neil deGrasse Tyson: “Fast forward to 1840… everyone born in the world was dead by the age of 35. We gained five years of life expectancy. And every one of them ate organic, breathed clean air… Science matters here.”

“We’ve doubled the life expectancy with antibiotics, vaccines, and sanitation. The three biggest forces operating on our longevity. So to come around and say I don’t need vaccines because I’m not getting sick, that’s like saying, why are you using dandruff shampoo? You don’t have dandruff.”

Shannon Sharpe: “Well, I don’t want to get it.”

Neil deGrasse Tyson: “That’s my point. If you’re successful, people think you don’t need it when that’s what’s creating the ongoing success in the first place.”

The federal government just banned bison from public land in Montana.

Not cattle.

Bison.

Interior Secretary Burgum revoked grazing permits for 950 bison
on 63,000 acres of federal land in northeastern Montana.

The reason?

Bison raised for conservation don't count as livestock
under a 1934 law.

Bison raised for meat and milk? Fine.

Bison raised to restore a native species to its native land? Get out.

Meanwhile, cattle ranchers across the West keep grazing on your land.

For $1.69 a month.

One cow. One calf. Thirty days. $1.69.

On land that belongs to every American.

The Cheyenne River Sioux. The Coalition of Large Tribes —
50+ Native nations. Defenders of Wildlife.

They all filed formal protests.

They called it exactly what it is.

"DEI for cows."

The bison have until September 30 to be gone.

Who decided cattle belong on public land more than bison do?

Michigan Republican Rep. Jaime Greene took the House floor to argue against trans youth healthcare and somehow ended her speech with: “make orgasms great again.”
In one bizarre rant, Greene conflated sex with gender, gender-affirming care with female genital mutilation, and serious medical care with whatever MAGA fever dream she was having about adult orgasms.
