🚨 Juan Orlando Hernández was convicted of smuggling more than 400 tons of cocaine into the U.S.

Trump gave him a full pardon.

It's taken 10 months. It was inevitable.

US authorities have confirmed a case of New World screwworm in livestock, the first detection in US cattle in decades.

The parasite's larvae feed on living tissue, making it a serious threat to animals and a pest many thought had been left in the past.

50-49: Republicans, by one vote, chose to keep Trump’s insurrectionist slush fund dream alive.

After they fumbled around for hours, we needed just one more Republican to muster the courage to end Trump’s taxpayer handout to cop beaters and felons.

As per usual, they were spineless.

The screwworm program wasn't charity, it was a $10 million fence that kept a billion-dollar problem from eating our own livestock alive. That's the thing with most USAID funding: it looks like "aid," but it's really cheap self-defense. Solve a problem there, and it never lands on our doorstep. But sure, let a bunch of guys who can't define DEI without Googling take a chainsaw to it. They didn't stop to ask, "Will this cut hurt us too?" Unless that's the point, burn it all down and call it efficiency.

As usual our inept agriculture secretary, blaming the Biden administration as usual, instead of offering a solution to the problem they created.

Texan here

A screwworm infestation is a nightmare for cattle, causing horrific wounds and economic devastation. For Texas, the situation has escalated dramatically in the last 24 hours with the first confirmed case of New World Screwworm (NWS) in over 60 years! This could have been avoided!

Infested animal can kill a cow in less than two weeks.

Treatment is extremely difficult and time-consuming, requiring the painful removal of every visible larva and deep disinfection of the wound. Ranchers no longer have much experience with this labor-intensive process, and there is currently no approved pharmaceutical treatment to make it easier.

This has triggered a massive economic threat. The USDA estimates that a widespread outbreak would drain an astonishing $1.8 billion from the Texas economy alone in livestock deaths, labor, and medication expenses.

How will this affect you? Tightening supplies will drive already high beef prices higher.

[Rep. Mike Levin @RepMikeLevin]

Trump is dismantling a $368 million ocean monitoring system that took a decade to build and was designed to run for 25 years.

When we need answers about our oceans and our climate, this network is where we get them.

More than 900 instruments sitting thousands of feet beneath the Pacific and Atlantic are the reason we can predict coastal flooding, protect our fisheries, and track how a warming ocean is changing our climate.

It’s also our eyes on a major Atlantic current that scientists fear is weakening. If that current collapses, it triggers catastrophic weather changes across the entire Northern Hemisphere.

There is no plan to store the equipment, there is no plan to replace the data, and the scientists who spent years learning how to operate it say that expertise cannot simply be passed on to the next person.

This Administration is not just cutting a program. It is making us permanently blind to threats we cannot afford to miss.

[Common Sense 🇺🇸💙 @commons96055467]

Something is happening to the US that is slow, systematic and deadly. Trump is dismantling our country, and it’s deliberate, calculated and surgical.
1: trump killed NATO partnership, our strongest defense alliance against Russia and China
2: trump’s HHS Secretary is killing our public health infrastructure, creating a more sicker and vulnerable America with communicative diseases
3: over at the pentagon trump’s frat boy Petey is firing our most qualified generals, depleting our best military hardware rapidly, in a stupid war to make our military a third world level armed forces
4: trump’s DOGE deliberately hollowed out our government from essential experts, to zap its functioning capabilities
5: trump killed USAID, and we lost our goodwill around the world and became isolated pariah
6: trump ICE became his brown shirts, killing and abusing Americans to obey
7: trump’s weirdo FBI director is charging everyone and anyone to silence Americans
8: trump DOJ is robbing the treasury to the tune of $1.8 billion dollars, to create an army of bribed foot soldiers to protect their dismantling of the country during midterm elections
9: trump’s interior secretary is dismantling our national parks
10: trump’s economic team of Bassett and lutnick is crashing the economy, creating a population of economically disadvantaged
11: trump’s Epstein files are now officially been shelved to protect trump the destroyer
12: trump let his oligarch enabler Peter Thiel to confiscate all our private data, including social security, tax, health and court and business records
13: finally and most importantly, trump and his family and his oligarch enablers are looting our treasury, and stuffing our tax dollars into their pockets.

Now tell me, you don’t think trump is a foreign agent, disguised as the president of the U.S, installed to destroy the US? Could it be that fuck Putin, the other fuck Elon, the anti Christ fuck Theil, own trump’s ass? Drag this enemy of America out of the White House. That foreign escort “Epstien hooker” Melania too.

Thirty senior American psychiatrists and mental health experts have signed a statement declaring President Donald Trump mentally unfit to serve, warning that his sole authority over U.S. nuclear weapons poses a danger to the entire world.

According to the doctors, Trump’s behavior over the past year has shown “objectively observable signs of serious medical concern.”

They cited:
— a significant decline in cognitive functioning,
— episodes of apparent drowsiness during critical public appearances,
— severely impaired judgment and impulse control,
— loss of self-control,
— and grandiose or delusional beliefs, including claims of infallibility and imagery portraying himself as a figure with a “divine mission.”

The physicians argue that Trump now represents a “clear and present danger” and called for urgent action to remove him from office.

“It is our expert opinion that Donald J. Trump is mentally unfit to be president of the United States,” the statement reads.

The letter invokes the 25th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which allows the vice president and cabinet to declare a president incapable of performing the duties of office.

One of the signatories, Dr. Henry David Abraham of Tufts University School of Medicine, warned about “the buildup of psychiatric symptoms in a person who has sole authority to launch nuclear weapons.”

He pointed to Trump’s April 7, 2026 Truth Social post regarding Iran, in which Trump wrote:
“A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again.”

According to the doctors, the warning signs include:
— grandiosity without restraint,
— paranoia,
— impulsivity,
— vindictiveness,
— uncontrolled rage,
— and a sense of omnipotence in a man with unchecked control over nuclear weapons.

Psychiatrist Bandy Lee, another signatory, said the issue now “transcends politics and concerns the survival of humanity itself.”

The statement was submitted to the U.S. Congressional Record by Democratic Senators Sheldon Whitehouse and Jack Reed.

The doctors emphasized that their declaration is “medical, not political,” and includes professionals with both conservative and liberal views.

Not AI

Trump fell asleep again during a public event in the Oval Office today.

He now falls asleep at virtually every public event where he’s seated. We can only imagine what happens when the cameras aren’t there.

The president is clearly unwell.

25th Amendment now.

[Dr. Catharine Young @DrCatharineY]

The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service at USDA helps prevent threats like screwworm from ever reaching US livestock.

In 2025, it lost 1,300 employees due to cuts and firings.

That’s the thing about prevention: you don’t notice it when it works, only when it is gone.
