Political commentator Mike Young on Trump admin attempts to blame Joe Biden for screwworm: “Let’s walk through what actually happened here, in order:

DOGE cut the USAID program specifically designed to prevent screwworm from crossing the US-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. Gov. Greg Abbott declared a disaster for Zavala and Uvalde counties this week. Ag Secretary Brooke Rollins went on CNBC this morning and blamed the Biden admin, 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 Secretary since Feb 13, 2025. The cuts happened on her watch. Beef prices are already high. Ranchers in south TX 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.”

MAGA has no idea how to govern. Biden hasn’t been president for almost two years, and they own the legislative branch. Pinning things on Biden is a viable strategy when running against the incumbent but it makes no sense years later, and voters are seeing right through that - which explains why Trump’s approval rating is so low

I don’t think people understand what the difference between conservative and liberal judicial philosophies are. Liberal judges see the Constitution as guidelines for the court to interpret and then cement things into law that they deem reflect the current mood of the day, essentially serving as a tool for policymaking outside of the legislative branch. Conservative judges see their role as interpreting what is explicitly in the Constitution and that there are explicit constraints in it (cont’d)
