SCOOP: Despite insisting that a $1.776 billion “anti-weaponization” fund has been scrapped, the administration is quietly assuring allies that payout plans remain on track, @S_Fitzpatrick reports.

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.
MARCO RUBIO SAYS OTHERWISE:
"Trump was sued by a construction workers union for using 200 illegal immigrants from Poland instead of Americans to build Trump Tower.”

🚨 BREAKING: NYT Reporter Glenn Thrush confirms absolute panic inside the White House and FBI over the Epstein files. He exposes a massive conflict between Kash Patel and Pam Bondi.
Thrush reveals Trump is terrified his long-standing ties to Epstein will be fully exposed.
#BREAKING: McCaskill: “…who knew that the [White House] Situation Room was going to be the hallowed place where we talked about sex scandals that the president was afraid of coming out in public? And clearly there’s only ONE reason this stuff [#Epstein files] hasn’t been released. It’s not protecting the innocent, it’s not him worrying about the victims, it is just Donald Trump. There’s stuff in this file, and the article even references some of it…It’s weird to be talking about NIPPLES on the Deadline White House show, but they were talking about it in the Situation Room, over Donald Trump’s proclivity to have certain sexual activity with some of these girls…this isn’t going away…as always, the coverup is…worse than the crime…”😳
BREAKING:

J.D. Vance
Susie Wiles
Tyler Budowich
James Blair
Karoline Leavitt
Steven Cheung

Dan Bongino
Stanley Woodward, Jr.

.@JDVance is now involved. The White House is fully involved. Todd Banche moved Ghislaine to protect Trump. This is the biggest cover-up in American history.
The "One Big Beautiful Bill" included a $6,000 enhanced tax deduction for seniors. Republicans sold it as a gift — a little something extra for people who earned it.
On June 10, 2026, the Social Security Trustees released their annual report, and the receipt finally came due.
When the fund empties, the law triggers an automatic 22% cut to every check — roughly $500 a month for the average beneficiary, hitting 70 million Americans.
Speaker Mike Johnson, two days before this report dropped, called Social Security an "entitlement" that needs to be "adjusted."
They called it a gift, but in reality it's a robbery.

Since taking office, Ken Paxton has become a multi-millionaire while our pay has stagnated.
He owns 11 homes while most Texans can’t afford one.
He trades favors with rich donors while blocking overtime pay for workers.
Paxton doesn’t serve us — he serves himself.
A federal appeals court Thursday expedited a bid to block Donald Trump’s sweeping attack on mail-in voting, a hopeful procedural sign for voters as the administration pushes ahead with plans that could upend how mail ballots are cast for the 2026 midterms. https://t.co/kfQsHLBgL9
👀 A federal judge in Florida is excoriating the Trump administration for a "masterclass in litigation cynicism" by accepting immigration judge's ruling that conflicted with (and is legally superseded by) his own.
"Give me a break." Judge Dudek says.

🚨Trump is going to deport Iranian women who PROVED to an immigration court that they would be persecuted in Iran to the Central African Republic, a country so dangerous to others the U.S. recommends no American travel there.
Trump is destroying this country's legacy of freedom!
🚨 DISGUSTING: Jen Psaki exposes a massive DOJ coverup on MS NOW. She confirms Deputy AG Todd Blanche's jailhouse interview with Ghislaine Maxwell was not about finding facts.
The Trump administration used the DOJ to prod Maxwell into absolving Donald Trump. Pure corruption!
Young girls in this country’s immigration system are not being “protected.” They are being abused.
Underage girls as young as 13 are in immigration custody, testing positive for pregnancy while under government control.
Survivor accounts and investigations describe sexual assault, molestation, and sexual coercion by officers and staff in multiple immigration facilities.
Quietly, those girls are being moved. Instead of being spread across multiple sites, they’re being transferred into a single facility in Texas, away from public view and real oversight.
Last July, the government ordered that all pregnant unaccompanied minors picked up by immigration enforcement be sent to that Texas facility. Now, girls who test positive for pregnancy while in custody are being sent there too.
These are children. This can’t be “protection.” This is not what protection looks like, and we all know it.
