This is going to decimate cattle herds in the US, which are already at generational lows with record beef prices. It's taken decades of nonstop efforts to eradicate screw worm north of Columbia. All of it gone in just over a year.

“Whether they know it or not, these people are weapons in Putin’s war against the West.”

It's important to know the US has reduced its funding to the DRC from $1.4B in 2024 to $146M in 2026. This is seriously impairing the response to the recent Ebola outbreak according to healthcare professionals on the ground, regardless of what the US State Department says. - Foreignassistance.gov

Very bad news. Screwworm appears to have made it to Texas, as was predicted. These parasites eat the living flesh of cattle, cause horrible pain, and can ultimately kill them. Yesterday, USDA Chief Brooke Rollins categorically denied that screwworm was close to the border.

Screwworm confirmed in Texas in the midst of having the worst imaginable people in charge. I guess we’re gonna have to keep getting hammered by infectious disease until we realize public health has a point.

What a douche

Further warming the oceans/killing fish & other ocean life doesn't seem like a long term solution. *No one* but tech bros & those they bribe want these parasitic blobs anywhere. How about tech bros build data centers in *THEIR* back gardens, as they are so enamored of them. See how they like it.

Justice Sonia Sotomayor blasted the court’s conservative majority for a ruling that “debases the democratic process” by allowing Alabama to use a congressional map that the justices had previously found intentionally discriminated against Black voters. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Stop pretending things are okay and the establishment will save you. Get radicalized or get fucked.

The corruption runs deep.

oh my goodness - Lieu played Rubio a video of Trump sleeping while Rubio tried to talk to him during a cabinet meeting. Then this exchange: RUBIO: I've never seen him fall asleep LIEU: I'm gonna show you a video that shows you just lied to Congress *plays another clip of Trump sleeping by Rubio*

Scott Pelley hits back at CBS News for firing him, accusing management of "incompetence and unprofessionalism" and alleging he was instructed "to inject falsehoods and bias into a politically sensitive story." www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/...

Drone tactics adopted by Ukraine are spreading to Lebanon. Hezbollah is now wrecking the Israeli military with kamikaze FPV drones controlled by fiber optic wire. It's rendering tanks useless and leaving IDF infantry defenseless. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/02/w...

🚨 Trump is dismantling the Ocean Observatories Initiative!!!!! The $368 million network of instruments collecting data in both the Atlantic and Pacific has been critical to climate and ocean research.…it tracks greenhouse gases, ocean temperatures, marine heat waves, and coastal flooding.

Wow. A convicted Jan. 6 Capitol rioter has been hired to work in a Pentagon office that handles classified military information. Elias Irizarry was hired to work in the DOD’s Special Operations and Low Intensity Conflict, and internal alarms are going off. www.mediaite.com/media/news/t...

Fox News is so out-of-touch that it thinks being against the construction of data centers, which are wildly unpopular, is a "far-left" policy. Keep up the good work of making progressive candidates more appealing to voters, Fox.

The heart of our constitutional crisis in one exchange between me and Sec. Mullin. When asked a simple question - if he will obey court orders - he says he will not because some court orders are "politicized". That's not how democracy works. And that's why we are in a crisis.

Scott Pelley has provided @status.news a statement blasting current CBS News management and even accusing them of having tried (and failed) to "inject falsehoods and bias" into his stories. www.status.news/p/scott-pell...

BREAKING: '60 Minutes' correspondent Scott Pelley was just fired — by email — after saying Bari Weiss had "murdered" the newsmagazine. There is widespread belief that Pelley's departure could very well trigger a broader exodus.

BREAKING: CBS News has terminated 60 Minutes correspondent Scott Pelley's contract following his vocal disagreements with the new leadership under Bari Weiss.

🚨 ALERT: Reports of strikes, explosions, and/or air defense activity now in: • Qeshm Island, Iran • Kuwait • Bahrain • Erbil, Iraq Iranian missiles and drones are reportedly targeting multiple locations across the region as the conflict continues to escalate.

💔Heartbreaking… A terrified fawn hid under a car in Kyiv during the shelling. It doesn’t know what missiles are. It only knows fear. Even the animals are living through this war

Scares me that it took Scott Pelley on top of the producers who left a year ago for the media to pay attention to the fact we have lost the free press.

Blanche: Can I please finish? Madeleine Dean: You told me in our conversation you blamed the victims. Hal Rogers intervenes several times to silence Dean, first by cutting her 5 minutes by 3 minutes, then by refusing to let her describe Trump-related docs into the record.

WOW. So Blanche won't rescind the tax immunity. Was the entire charade just a cover to grant Trump tax immunity? Blanche claims that part of the "settlement" still stands. This is somehow MORE CORRUPT.

LA voters: if you are dropping off your ballot today take it to a designated ballot box. Don’t drop in the mail. Your vote won’t be postmarked until tomorrow and won’t count, unless you walk it into a post office and ask a worker to stamp it today.

A bunch of US Far Right influencers, including Candace Owens, are currently in Russia at Putin’s expense. They’re all saying what a wonderful Christian country Russia is and how it should be a friend and ally.

After ICE deported Wendy Hernandez Reyes, it turned her 3-year-old son Orlin over to her sister’s estranged partner, who tortured Orlin and beat him to death. I can’t say what I think should happen to those responsible without violating this website’s TOS. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

Interesting Bloomberg exclusive. “Vladimir Putin has been told by senior Russian officials that the war in Ukraine is becoming unaffordable, the most serious sign of internal division in Moscow since the full-scale invasion began.” Pity the poor people who told him that.

‼️ Russia has prepared a massive strike, the threat remains relevant, — Zelensky The President reported that intelligence warnings about a possible large-scale attack by the Russian Federation remain in force: "Pay attention to air alarms. Be sure to use shelters."
