America hasn't seen screw worms since 1966. You can thank Donald J. Trump

Can we clap for the Albanians please? Over 100,000 of them took to the streets, shut down the capital protesting Maga Jared Kushner & Maga Ivanka Trump. Protecting their sacred lands from these vampires

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.

[Hey, Dave! @davegreenidge57]

In less than 18 months, MAGA has managed to bring back measles. They defunded the Ebola monitoring program that likely resulted in an what is an emergent pandemic. Now, they’ve allowed the food supply to be contaminated by a deadly parasite not seen in the U.S. since 1966.

How can Trump go to a Knicks game? I was told he wasn’t safe anywhere without a ballroom.

[No Lie with Brian Tyler Cohen @NoLieWithBTC]

An extremely dangerous maggot that eats human flesh called Screwworm has just been found for the first time since it was eradicated in 1966.

This comes after Trump cut funding for Screwworm monitoring programs.

[Congresswoman Yassamin Ansari @RepYassAnsari]

Donald Trump fell asleep multiple times in the Oval Office today. AGAIN.

That’s why I’ve called for the 25th Amendment, and dozens of my colleagues have done the same. Donald Trump is unwell and must be removed from office. It’s a national security crisis.

[Hakeem Jeffries @RepJeffries]

So let me get this straight.

Donald Trump wants his personal lawyer and the architect of a corrupt $1.8 billion slush fund to be the Attorney General?

Get lost.

[Mark Warner @MarkWarner]

NEW: I just introduced an amendment that would block Bill Pulte from being DNI.

If even half of my Republican colleagues that have privately voiced concerns about him vote for this… it should pass.

[MenchOsint @MenchOsint]

Trump called CNN a "corrupt organization" yesterday.

Today CNN releases a video that shows damage on USS Ford was more severe than the Navy suggested:

[Anders Åslund @anders_aslund]

It is Albanians, not Americans, who are protesting against American corruption.
The US appears to have accepted the corruption of the Trump family, so we Americans have to rely upon the sound anti-corruption sentiments of others.
Truly embarrassing, but thank you, Albania!

Poor guy is just exhausted. He’s spent. Empty vessel. Gonzo. Vacant.

[Gandalv @Microinteracti1]

The President of the United States is asleep at his desk. Again.

Behind him stand seven grown adults in expensive suits, and not one of them is doing anything about it. One is mid-sentence. Another is gazing sideways with the haunted look of a man whose pension depends on never acknowledging what he can see in his peripheral vision.

The rest of the world is watching, and the rest of the world has noticed something. Americans are terrified of authority. That fear has settled over this administration like a fog, and it turns otherwise functional adults into warm furniture. Nobody moves. Nobody speaks. The paralysis is total.

In any European parliament, in any boardroom from Oslo to Ljubljana, someone would have leaned over by now. Tapped a shoulder. Said, quietly but clearly, that perhaps this isn’t the moment. Somebody would have done something, because the alternative, pretending a sleeping man is running a meeting, would have been too absurd to sustain.

Not here. Here, seven men have collectively decided that the correct professional response to the President losing consciousness in the Oval Office is to carry on as though he were a particularly demanding houseplant.

[Ted Lieu @tedlieu]

Republicans often like to say that government should be run more like a business.

If any CEO fell asleep at multiple board meetings and events, that CEO would be fired.

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

🚨TRUMP CAN’T LIFT HIS ARM?

HOLY SHIT: Trump’s voice sounds unusually weak, he appears to be slurring some of his words, and he barely raises his right arm throughout the clip.

He does not look well at all. Something is seriously wrong with him and we deserve to know the truth.

[MeidasTouch @MeidasTouch]

NEWS: The House has passed the Ukraine Support Act, 226-195, to provide new military aid to Ukraine and impose tougher sanctions on Russia.

The bill advanced through a discharge petition despite Speaker Mike Johnson's efforts to block a vote.

18 Republicans and former Republican Kevin Kiley broke with leadership to vote for it.
