The U.S. Department of Agriculture has confirmed 41 New World #screwworm infestations, including 40 in #Texas and one in #NewMexico, as federal and state officials continue working to contain the flesh-eating parasite.

The federal #farm safety net was designed to offset losses. But some farmers and economists argue it has become a profit enhancer, raising questions about land values, competition and the future of agriculture.

The New World #screwworm is back in the US, and the infection of a dog in New Mexico is raising concerns about the risks to animals beyond cattle.

For families and firms, this isn’t academic. If the people steering monetary policy are chosen for cable-news combat rather than analytic clarity, the cost shows up in jobs, prices, and uncertainty.

The House Agriculture Committee’s #FarmBill expresses “congressional concern” about President Trump’s plan to #import more #beef from Argentina, even with industry-friendly cushions and assurances that he won’t push U.S. producers out of the market.

Today’s 6-3 ruling by the Supreme Court is a Victory for the American People and a Win for the Separation of Powers enshrined in the Constitution of the United States.
In Learning Resources, Inc. v. Trump, our Supreme Court has reaffirmed that the Constitution grants Congress - not the President - the power to tax.
American families and American businesses pay American tariffs - not foreign countries. With this decision, American families and businesses can breathe a sigh of relief.
I’m proud of the work our organization @AmericanFreedom has done on this case through our robust amicus brief program to advance economic freedom and defend the Constitution.
With this historic decision, America can now return to the pursuit of Free Trade with Free Nations under the Constitution of the United States!🇺🇸

The #SupremeCourt ruled that President Donald Trump exceeded his authority when imposing sweeping #tariffs using a law reserved for a national emergency. The ruling blocks Trump's sweeping reciprocal tariffs.

U.S. #farmer #sentiment declined sharply in January amid growing concerns about the #agricultural #economy. The Purdue University-CME Group Ag Economy Barometer dropped from 136 in December 2025 to 113 in January 2026.
