BREAKING: DOGE DISASTER! Huge outbreak of deadly flesh-eating parasites erupts in Texas cattle thanks to Trump and Elonās DOGE cuts!
Eradicated from the U.S. for a half-century, a dangerous flesh-eating parasite known as the New World screwworm is back, thanks in part to the Trump administrationās tariff squabbles with Mexico and foreign aid cuts.
Detected in a Texas calf near the Mexican border, the discovery is triggering serious fears for the American cattle industry and already sky-high beef prices.
The parasiteās larvae burrow into living tissue of livestock (and occasionally pets or humans), causing severe damage and potential death if untreated. This marks the first confirmed case in Texas since 1966.
Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins says theyāve deployed teams, started quarantines, and are releasing sterile flies, but the Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller ripped the federal response as too slow and ineffective.
Heās now calling on Trump to āthrow every available federal resourceā at the problem before it becomes a full-blown disaster.
The outbreak comes at the worst possible time.
The U.S. cattle herd is already at its lowest level in 75 years, and beef prices are through the roof. A wider infestation could cost the industry billions and hammer American families at the grocery store.
Critics point directly at Trump administration policies that likely worsened the situation. First, ongoing trade disputes and tariff threats with Mexico have slowed joint eradication efforts.
Elon Musk's DOGE dismantling of USAID has seriously hampered regional efforts to stop the parasiteās northward march through Central America and Mexico.
And finally, the administrationās dismissive approach to climate change, even as warming temperatures expand the areas where this pest can thrive.
Once again, Trumpās incoherent āAmerica Firstā agenda of trade wars, aid slashing, and science denial is coming back to bite American agriculture and consumers in the wallet.
MAGA gets its jollies by āowning the libsā by cutting funding for policies that protect the country against the outbreak of disease, but right now a literal flesh-eating parasite is showing up on our southern border and now we are much less prepared to handle it.
If this latest Trump-era disaster has you furious about rising costs and incompetent governance, like and share!
