A ‘MAGA Warrior’ Texas ag chief is publicly blasting the USDA over a flesh-eating pest threatening America’s beef supply

The New World screwworm fly, a flesh-eating parasite, has reemerged in Texas and New Mexico after six decades, threatening the cattle industry. Texas Agricultural Commissioner Sid Miller, a Trump loyalist, is criticizing the USDA's use of sterile insect release as an outdated method, advocating instead for bait and pesticides. The USDA's approach, which was key to eradicating the pest in the 1960s, aims to contain the outbreak by releasing sterile male flies to reduce the population.
