#USDA reports a big jump in #H5N1 #BirdFlu in dairy cows in Idaho. 25 new herds have tested positive, bringing the state's total to 156 herds. Since this outbreak in cows was first detected in March 2024, 1,134 herd in 19 states have tested positive. https://t.co/2BioBG0wUw

Thank you Rep. Ted Lieu for calling out the lies and misinformation on the Screwworm by Agriculture Secretary, Brooke Rollins. ✅

BREAKING: In a stunning moment, Republicans just BLOCKED Sen. Richard Blumenthal's attempt to get Veterans their retirement pay WITHOUT cutting disability benefits. Republicans will write blank checks to the military, then penny pinch when it's time to support our Vets.

Hey DOGE and NEWSMAX, can we get an update here?  

Turns out preventing a flesh-eating parasite from invading U.S. livestock wasn’t government waste…

[😱 Scary Larry 😱 🇺🇦✊🏻🇺🇸🗽 @aintscarylarry]

Translation: Whoopsie, we fired everybody. Can anyone help us with this screwworm thing before it gets out of hand? Please???

We knew this was coming. USDA lapse causes U.S. beef industry to suffer https://t.co/yJOX3v6kKW

UPDATE: New World Screwworm is no longer contained to Texas.

USDA says that the infested dog announced earlier today lives in Lea County, New Mexico and will be reclassified as the first detection in that state.

And now a goat in Gillespie County, TX, has also been confirmed.

This is an image from @I_W_M of British Commandos on a landing craft approaching Sword Beach on D-Day, 6th June 1944. 82 years ago today.
War is a horrific thing; these men left their loved ones to enter its hellish cauldron. Some never returned. We remember their immense bravery and sacrifices to defeat fascism so that they should never be necessary again.

This is the type of crisis that a Democratic president would be held personally responsible for by the media. Instead it’s getting virtually no national attention despite the issue being directly connected to federal cuts enacted by the Trump administration

[Feisty is proud to be a Democrat! @FeistyLibLady]

Trump held an agriculture roundtable meeting with farmers in Wisconsin yesterday.

The purpose was to raise the morale of farmers with new promises he will break as usual.

This is what Trump told them.

"I don't need this. I got elected. What the hell do I have to be here for?"

Well, if farmers haven't given up on him yet that statement should have given them a wake-up call.

Trump's Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins: "If we have a big screwworm infestation—which we will not, we're on top of it..."

The screwworm has returned to the US after 60 years after Trump and DOGE eliminated a program to contain the flesh-eating parasite.

Rep. Keating to Rubio: "I'm sure you're aware that Ukraine, country that at the time had third-largest nuclear arsenal, peacefully turned over their nuclear weapons in conjunction with Budapest Memorandum.

And in exchange for U.S. commitment to defend Ukraine if it ever came under threat. The U.S. gave its word to Ukraine that it would defend them.

And I find this amazing. In your opening remarks, as you took us all over the world and mentioned 15 different incidents where you have interceded — 15, the top 15 — not once did you mention Ukraine when you were prioritizing achievements that are there."

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Today has been a difficult day in Ukraine after a massive Russian strike. There were many ballistic missiles and drones. Now air-raid alerts are active across various regions too. And once again, we are facing aerial threats. Just today, Russian strikes have taken 22 lives in Kyiv and Dnipro, including children. We are doing everything to protect our people, our cities, and our communities. And we are grateful to those who are helping us. Ukraine is grateful to Italy. We deeply value that you care, that you want peace for us, and see the defense of Kyiv’s independence and freedom as your cause. Together, we will certainly achieve this.

I congratulate Italy, President Mattarella @Quirinale, President of the Council of Ministers @GiorgiaMeloni, and all Italian people on the 80th anniversary of the proclamation of the Republic. Freedom is an achievement that must be defended every day.

Thank you, Italy! Buona Festa della Repubblica!

The Trump administration is closing the nation’s primary research laboratory after news came out of honeybee venom being able to destroy 100% of breast cancer cells in less than 60 minutes. #Save🐝
