Moderate US House Dem group questions USDA’s Rollins over screwworm response

The New Democrat Coalition has raised concerns about the U.S. Department of Agriculture's handling of a screwworm outbreak, urging the Trump administration to allocate more resources to contain it. Key members like Sharice Davids, Gabe Vasquez, and Jim Costa have pressed for more detailed information on the outbreak and its management. This scrutiny underscores broader worries about the USDA's capacity to address agricultural pests, which could have significant economic and environmental implications for farming and related sectors.
