The New World Screwworm, a grave parasitic threat, has just been detected in US cattle for the first time since it was eradicated in 1966.

The parasite's revival comes after Trump and DOGE slashed funding for Screwworm monitoring programs.

This is going to not only put a lot of people on the streets it’s also going to displace poor animals that were trained to help people especially Veterans.

I know it’s become pretty cliche and cringey to talk about at this point but if you’re under like 25 I cannot stress enough how one time Obama wore a tan suit and people spent a week arguing over whether or not it was demeaning to the Oval Office and they were serious about it.

Shameful

[Leela Gray @LeelaJGray]

You can't solve problems you refuse to measure.

Yet this month, 900 ocean monitoring instruments are being physically pulled out of the water. A $368 million system. A decade to build. Designed to run 15 more years.

Gone.

This network tracked hurricane intensity, coastal flooding, marine heatwaves, and sea level rise. The data was free, public and used in over 500 scientific publications. Congress tried to stop it... twice. They got overruled anyway.

For a coastal community like FL-13 that just lived through Helene, this isn't abstract. This is the difference between an evacuation order that comes in time and one that doesn't.

Florida deserves a representative who fights for the science that protects us, not one who looks the other way while it gets dismantled.

Do not watch CBS News.

Do not normalize what CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss is attempting to get away with.

When the Supreme Court repeatedly attacks voting rights and bends over backwards to a wannabe king, we should call it what it is.

This Court is racist, corrupt….and the American people deserve better.

[Joyce Alene @JoyceWhiteVance]

A court found Alabama's maps were drawn with "intentional race-based discrimination." The Supreme Court said: use them anyway. This is what the end of the Voting Rights Act looks like in practice. https://t.co/ZX42bXZ4WP

🚨MAJOR NEWS: Georgia’s Republican governor Brian Kemp, has been rocked by an explosive new scandal.

A new report claims Kemp struggled to sell lakefront properties for 13 years, then suddenly found buyers after becoming governor. According to the report, those buyers later received state contracts, appointments, and favorable legislation.

Georgia voters deserve answers. The appearance of pay-to-play politics is exactly why people have lost trust in government.

[Citizens for Ethics @CREWcrew]

It's pretty cut and dry: Trump’s corruption hurts small businesses and harms the economy.

CREW's Donald Sherman testified before the Senate Small Business Committee to lay out the harms of Trump's corruption.

I stood at this pool, at both monuments and saw both reflections…
He’s a God damn idiot, as are the fools that support him. The “Reflection Pool” wasn’t designed by American architect Henry Bacon a hundred years ago to look like a swimming pool. It’s designed to have a darkened characteristics that has reflective qualities to reflect the monuments.
That way, the Washington Monument is reflective to you when at the Lincoln Memorial, and when at the Washington Monument, the Lincoln Memorial is reflective to you.
It’s designed to enhance the grandeur of monuments, create an illusion of reflection, and inclusion of expansive space of unity.
He’s a tacky vulgar person that vulgarizes everything he touches. America isn’t becoming great, it’s becoming vulgar.

[Epstein File Search @epsteinsearchin]

At least 40 minors gave sworn statements to the FBI that Jeffrey Epstein raped and trafficked them. The line prosecutor wrote an 82-page memo recommending charges.

Alex Acosta declined and signed a non-prosecution deal.

He was later confirmed as Labor Secretary.

It's been two weeks since I connected Trump's Acting Attorney General with Epstein survivors and they haven't heard a peep from the DOJ. That's disgraceful.

Todd Blanche said he'd meet with them—and I will not let him off the hook.

Epstein survivors deserve justice.

[Occupy Democrats @OccupyDemocrats]

BREAKING: Justice Sotomayor BLASTS Trump’s justices in a scathing dissent over yet another rubber-stamping of Republican racist election-stealing shenanigans!

She didn’t hold back…

The right-wing conservatives on the Supreme Court just voted to allow Alabama to use a 2023 map which was so obviously racist that a three-judge panel of Ronald Reagan and Donald Trump appointees again found that the map was unconstitutional.

But nothing except Republican power matters to Trump’s justices on SCOTUS, who voted 6-3 to allow Alabama to use the racist map anyway.

Justice Sotomayor eviscerated her fellow justices in her dissent, writing that they “disregard both democratic values and the rule of law.”

“In addition to being wrong on the merits, the Court’s decision inflicts two grave harms on the public. It debases the democratic process by upending Alabama’s entire election in the name of permitting Alabama to discriminate against Black Alabamians.”

“It also corrodes the rule of law by rewarding Alabama’s gamesmanship and outright defiance of court orders.”

“It is long established that ‘he who comes into equity must come with clean hands.’ Alabama’s hands, however, are far from clean. Instead, it defied the District Court’s order in these cases even after this Court affirmed it, and took utterly irreconcilable positions at different stages in these cases to suit its own purposes.”

“Now the Court is squarely faced with a record of the turmoil it has caused and the harm it has wrought. Yet just as Alabama doubled down on racial discrimination, the Court today doubles down on chaos. Because I choose to defend the rule of law and the right of all Alabamians to participate equally in democracy, I respectfully dissent.”

It is absolutely abhorrent the way that Trump’s justices have allowed state Republicans to play legislative Calvinball with the law and the rules, arguing one thing one day and against that very same thing the next when it suits them.

No precedent matters, no good faith interpretation of the law, nothing matters except the exercise of power and advancing the MAGA agenda.

Once we retake power, impeaching Trump’s justices and reforming our courts has to be a top priority – because if we don’t, they will pack the courts even more and entrench one-party rule forever.

Like and share to spread her powerful words to EVERY American!

[Rep. Dan Goldman @RepDanGoldman]

Today @SecMullinDHS yet again tried to defend ICE’s lawless deportation dragnet by asserting that they are going after the “worst of the worst.”

Nobody is fooled by this flat-out lie.

In fact, ICE has been violating their own policy for a year by arresting people at immigration court.

But Secretary Mullin didn’t even know that.

DHS does not get to make up their own laws and it’s time Sec. Mullin learns what they are and follows them.
