MAHA is pissed!! Trump gives middle finger to MAHA moms!!!
MAHA voters were promised health reform, not chemical entrenchment, said Vani Hari, a healthy eating advocate and supporter of Mr. Kennedys nutrition agenda. She called the executive order a direct assault on MAHA and a gift to pesticide and chemical industry lobbies at the expense of human health.
Ken Cook, the president and co-founder of Environmental Working Group, an advocacy organization that has also supported parts of Mr. Kennedys agenda, said, I cant envision a bigger middle finger to every MAHA mom than this.
The Defense Production Act provides a pathway for companies to be shielded from certain liability suits, and Mr. Trumps order appeared to extend that protection to producers of glyphosate. The Supreme Court is set to hear arguments in weeks in a case that asks whether federal law shields pesticide manufacturers from such lawsuits.

(13,520 posts)That's a very big word for TSF, two more syllables than he usually uses. I surmise that:
1. Trump got paid off
2. What's the going rate- $3.5M?
3. Someone with more than 3 functional braincells wrote that pronouncement.

(10,814 posts)Kennedys team won millions for cancer victims of glyphosate. Trumps big FU to Kennedy and MAHA but Kennedy wont condemn this. .
Kennedy - The herbicide Glyphosate is one of the likely culprits in Americas chronic disease epidemic. Much more widely used here than in Europe. Shockingly, much of our exposure comes from its use as a desiccant on wheat, not as an herbicide. From there it goes straight into our bodies. My USDA will ban that practice.
Trumps MAHA followers are really pissed.
Trump has just become the Glyphosate President. He's now all-in for glyphosate production.
Because America, he thinks, needs more cancer-causing poisonous weedkiller chemicals spread
Please God tell me this isn't true: Did Trump just give manufactures of glyphosate immunity under Defense Production Act?

Americas farmers and farmworkers, their families and neighbors, are being diagnosed with cancer at rates higher than the national average. A growing body of research indicates that pesticides are partly to blame.

Health Ranger:
MAHA is dead. MAGA is dead. And Trump wants the American people dead and poisoned with glyphosate weedkiller. It's now abundantly obvious.
Kelly Ryerson : Just as the large MAHA base begins to consider what to do at midterms, the President issues an EO to expand domestic glyphosate production. The very same carcinogenic pesticide that MAHA cares about most.
Trump just lost the MAHA Republicans - thousands posting how upset they are.
