Elon fired the protection agency that protects us from pandemics
Now there is Screworm that can burrow into internal organs. Screworm can jump from Cattle to Human. Do you think it was a good idea to destroy the Agency that was monitoring Screwworm?
Trump and his collaborators are looting the US Treasury. They are shutting down essential gov't programs. We need to march on Washington, present a petition to congress with a list of Trump's crimes demanding Trump's removal and arrest. It they fail to act, we escalate.

Bird flu, screwworm monitoring among foreign aid programs killed by Trump 03/27/25
The 5,300 grants and programs killed in the Trump administration’s cuts to the U.S. Agency of International Development include U.S.-funded animal disease monitoring projects operated by the UN Food and Agriculture Organization.
A list of terminated programs sent to Congress this week and obtained by Agri-Pulse includes $250 million that went to projects housed under the FAO’s Global Health Security Program.
Among the GHS projects killed were some dedicated to monitoring and containing avian flu and New World Screwworm in Central America, monitoring avian flu outbreaks in Asia and improving the detection of new strains, and efforts to combat swine fever, according to a person familiar with the situation granted anonymity to speak frankly.
In total, more than 100 U.S.-funded FAO programs were terminated, worth around $382 million.
