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

A group of moderate U.S. House members, including Reps. Sharice Davids, Gabe Vasquez, and Jim Costa, demanded the USDA provide more details and allocate resources to address a New World screwworm outbreak in Texas and New Mexico. The lawmakers criticized the Trump administration for insufficient transparency and urged proactive measures to support affected ranchers and prevent further spread. The USDA defended its communication efforts, stating it has provided 'unprecedented' updates to stakeholders.
