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.

If your bank forced you to legally put a certain amount of your paycheck every payday for 30 years into a savings account for your "retirement," didn't give you interest, then when you were getting ready to retire, said "we're only going to give you 70% of your money back, because we can't afford to pay you the full amount."

Would you accept that?
Vote every Republican out.

The same people who said masks were "literally 1984" think this is fine.

Trump says voter fraud should land people in prison.

Agreed. And let's start with the politicians spreading election lies with the goal of illegally interfering with counting ballots.

In California, I just signed a law making that punishable with up to 3 years behind bars.

More to come. FAFO, Donald.

Wild commentary from Jennifer Welch on MSNBC.

"JD Vance is married to a woman of Indian descent. He has mixed race children. So to all of the MAGA voters out there, if this man will not defend his wife and will not defend his kids, do you think he gives a crap about you?"

Texas's Ag commissioner warns Trump's slow response to New World Screwworm is increasing beef prices:

"You can look for higher beef prices because of the failure of the USDA to control this pest."

A World Cup host country usually sees a surge in international tourism. In America, 80% of host city hotels are below their booking projections. In Kansas City, nine out of ten are below a normal summer.

Mexico's international arrivals grew 6.1% last year. Canada is projected to lead all three host nations in tourism growth. The dollar is cheaper than last year for Europeans. They are still not coming to the US.

I was never in my life paid by a foreign government. Never. Meanwhile Jared Kushner is being paid tens and tens of millions of dollars directly from Saudi Arabia, UAE and Qatar. He has taken in over $6B into his fund all while he acts as the chief US negotiator for the war in Iran with those very same countries. If you want to know who someone is working for look WH they are being paid by. I was never paid a cent from a foreign government and when my Dad was President I did ZERO business outside painting and I never made more than $225k in a year from the sale of my paintings.

Pay attention to who is willing to break the law for Trump as we head into the midterms—because his end goal is to create a system where others will break the law for him. It's about building a custom where it's normal to break the law for a person. The big case is the military
