Trump and Elon's DOGE recklessly gutted critical federal funding, and screwworms are just one of the threats our famers face because of it.
That's the same reckless leadership Darren Bailey wants to bring to Illinois.
The US is racing to stop the spread of a deadly parasite threatening its $113bn livestock industry. This week, New World screwworm was detected in the US for the first time in more than half a century. So what is it and how is the US trying to stop it?
In half a century, we’ve held the screwworm at bay.
Enter Trump and his chainsaw waving, DOGE crew of morons and they cut funding to monitoring and treatment programs.
The other $screwworm’s 2nd biggest buyer just sold out in one clip. I think OG screwworm is going to take it. Especially if we share what GROK has to say about the proper naming around:
I noticed a falsehood being kicked around that the name “New World Screw Worm” is only for cattle in the U.S. but that is not correct. This is a virus strain that began in the U.S. so even if it goes worldwide, it is still properly named “New World Screw Worm.”
$SCREWWORM
It was found in Texas. It destroys cattle too. It was still in other countries and the US put in programs to ensure it wouldn’t enter the US again. 60 years of success.
Until Trump cut the funding, and now it’s back in the US. Are we Great Again yet?
