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.

CNN's resident fact-checker Daniel Dale hasn't conducted an on-air fact check of Trump in more than three months, a stretch that coincidentally began around the same time Paramount announced its merger with WBD

AMERICA: Reject trump's grifting and corruption with the same robust energy as Albania's citizens are kicking Jared Kushner and Ivanka to the curb.

THIS IS AWESOME!🔥🔥🔥

Ivanka Trump, on her and Jared Kushner's dream of developing an uninhabited Albanian Island for the ultra rich. 😂🤣👇

[Middle Eastern Affairs @OpsHQs]

🚨 The situation is completely getting out of control.

Albania is erupting for the second consecutive day in angry mass protests against the Kushner land seizure deal worth $4 billion. 🇦🇱

The Albanian people refuse to become a new Palestine. 💥"

Ectopic pregnancies (i.e., when an embryo implants somewhere other than the uterine lining) are never viable & can be life-threatening.

Despite this, doctors in Arkansas & Oklahoma tried to discharge a patient with an ectopic pregnancy without treatment. https://t.co/t5IsdNOaf9

What is “verbal assault”?

[Jesus Freakin Congress @TheJFreakinC]

🚨BREAKING: The Secretary of Homeland Security just admitted, on camera, that he is going to violate your First Amendment right to free speech.

He said, “I have ZERO tolerance. If you verbally assault our officers… we will find you, we will arrest you.”

Except… that’s not how the First Amendment works.

Unless someone is making a credible threat of violence, speech… even rude, angry, or insulting speech… is still protected.

That’s the whole point of a free speech clause… to protect the people from situations where those in power don’t like what’s being said.

So, when a top federal official starts framing “verbal assault” as something you can be arrested for, without clearly defining it as an actual threat…

It stops sounding like protecting officers, and starts sounding like a government trying to silence people who speak out against it.

[Team Ossoff @TeamOssoff]

Ossoff: American politics is coin-operated. Money goes in, favors come out, and that's why spectacular wealth buys an ever-greater share of power over our national affairs, while the mere citizen is treated with contempt.

Citizens United was the most destructive court decision in modern American history. It's unleashed a flood of secret money, corporate money, billionaire money on both sides.

[Senator Reverend Raphael Warnock @SenatorWarnock]

Multiple judges ruled that Alabama’s maps discriminated based on race. Yet the Supreme Court is bending over backwards to let them stand.

This court will do anything to help Republicans stay in power. No matter the cost.

They have lost all semblance of impartiality.

CORTEZ MASTO: Do you intend to give the 400,000 taxpayers who also had their information leaked the same immunity as President Trump and his family received?

BESSENT: I'm unable to provide any additional information

CORTEZ MASTO: It's very clear you're dodging this. It's just outrageous.

[Parody Jeff @Parodyjeffx]

🚨🇦🇱 JUST IN: Over 100,000 Albanians shut down the capital in furious protests.

Trump and Kushner are selling off the Albanian coastline to Jewish billionaires and Israeli military projects.

The south of the country is being handed over to foreign control.

Ossoff: This is what small men like Donald Trump and JD Vance and Stephen Miller will never understand—that our national greatness flows not through our blood or our genes, but through our ideas.

Americans are not a race, we're a people united not by ethnicity, but by our shared convictions, and that is what makes us exceptional

The first reporter who fires back at Trump’s “You’re a terrible reporter” with “You’re a terrible president” deserves a Pulitzer on the spot.

When Howard Lutnick found out he had to testify in front of the Oversight Committee, he gave $5 MILLION to a House Republican PAC.

Shortly after donating, James Comer announced his testimony would never be seen by the public. This is blatant corruption. He should be fired.
