Getting Screwed by the Screwworm
My narrative is short and direct. We eradicated the screwworm scourge a half century ago. Thanks to the new policy led by the co-author of Project 2025, the screwworms have returned and will cost Texas and all of American ranchers billions while threatening citizens with a fatal infection that they don’t know about and are not prepared for. Thank you to Russell Vought, DOGE, and RFK Jr. for your leadership and wonderful public service to our nation.
