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

The New Democrat Coalition has raised concerns over the U.S. Department of Agriculture's handling of the recent screwworm outbreak, urging the Trump administration to allocate more resources to manage the pest's spread. The group's members, including Sharice Davids, Gabe Vasquez, and Jim Costa, want detailed information on the current state of the outbreak. This scrutiny matters because screwworms can devastate livestock, posing a significant economic threat to farmers. The demand for more action underscores the need for effective pest management strategies to protect agricultural productivity.
