RFK Jr. has immediately flown to the area to play with, and possibly eat them.

Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Do you think he'll bring his grandkids, like as a snack for the screw worms?
Conservative policy cut funding to keeping these away. Conservatives should be seen not heard when it comes to any policy.
IIRC, they were being stopped at the choke point in Central America. Now that they're past it, they'll be almost possible to contain even if funding were restored.
Just one of many cases where the damage being done is permanent.
Yeah, Elon said "Millions of dollars for breeding radioactive flies?!? What kind of dumb science stuff is this‽ Fraud, waste, and abuse!"
Fraud, waste, and abuse
I got so very sick of seeing those assholes all repeating that line in the first part of 2025. It sounded like they all had an alien parasite that crawled into their heads.
Especially that grinning idiot of a chipmunk, Kevin Hassett.
What I find so annoying is that none of these asshats seemed to get put on the spot to have to define just what that even means. It's like they just rode on the myth of the $600 hammer "government bad" stuff and it was/is all so very stupid....
RFK Jr. should keep them to himself.
his is braineating worms. hence the raccoon fetish.
It's impressive that many of us immediately went there. He's made a name for himself.
If you haven't seen the image of what these things can do to a deer, I'd highly advise against looking for the pic unless you have a strong stomach.
Edit: Seriously, folks. Imagine Uzumaki's "Spiral" story in real life and how fucked up that would be.
I took that bait and can confirm you should not look up the images. I need to lay down.
Pffft wimps.
Mother of God... what even... why did I do that!!!
Right? I mean, I guess that’s pretty much where I saw 2026 going anyway. 😅
You warned me and I still did it.
Can we have covid back instead?
Their name is enough
The article talks about cattle, but these things infest humans, too.
Oh hell Jimmy, I don't care for that notion one bit.
But people can usually seek help, sucks for wild animals
My apocalypse bingo card is filling up fast.
Don’t worry, they’re dismantling all the monitoring agencies so these warnings will stop coming
Haven't they already been in the US for a while now? I recall hearing about an infestation in Texas some time ago.
they used to be rampant in the southern States. a huge multinational effort pushed them back down south.
Was that something cut by doge?
iirc, they fell behind during COVID, the increased funding and facility expansions needed to actively push them back down into the chokepoint never got approved, and the trump administration would rather spend 10x more moving all the infrastructure up to the US-Mexico border than do anything that would help other countries "for free" (even though they already chip in).
More or less.
That sumbitch!!!!
