MAHA is reportedly outraged after Trump ordered a massive increase in production of the ingredient in Roundup that is linked to cancer.

“I can’t envision a bigger middle finger to every MAHA mom than this,” an RFK Jr. ally said.

It's now crystal clear that the Administration cares more about Big Chemical profits than the health of Americans.

The batshit crazy EO Trump signed last night says the production of glyphosate is "critical" for national security.

BULLSHIT.

This is outrageous. How the hell is this MAHA?!?

Let me get this straight. Republicans are fighting tooth and nail to shield Bayer from liability over Roundup, while Bayer offers to pay $7.2 BILLION to settle lawsuits…over Roundup

The hypocrisy is just staggering.

Bayer knows glyphosate has been linked to serious health harms, including cancer.

"A middle finger to every MAHA mom."

Trump put RFK Jr. in a very awkward position last night. He issued an order to ramp up production of glyphosate, citing national defense. MAHA is furious. Kennedy issued a statement backing POTUS @hirokotabuchi.bsky.social

Trump just signed an executive order to spur domestic production of glyphosate (aka RoundUp) which is linked to cancer. He claims this is needed for "national security"

Poisoning Americans with toxic pesticides is core to our national security...? Got it.

Trump said "don't worry about it" when asked why the EPA is abandoning its mission to protect public health.

Sorry Trump, we're worried about it — and we're suing you over it.

See ya in court 👋

Despite massive floods, droughts, wildfires, and hurricanes becoming a more regular occurrence, Trump’s EPA is trying to abandon its responsibility to protect us from climate change.

We’ll see them in court.

The Bureau of Land Management has announced it is seeking nominations for oil and gas leasing in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.

This step invites oil companies to identify where they want to drill in one of the most ecologically and culturally significant places left on Earth.

The highest court in America could deprive thousands of Roundup consumers suffering from cancer of their day in court.

SCOTUS will take up a case that asks whether federal law protects pesticide manufacturers from lawsuits claiming that their products cause cancer.

Today, Trump's EPA officially made climate denial US policy.

This is a slap in the face to Americans being battered by extreme weather, wildfires, droughts, and other climate disasters.

Trump once again blamed Democrats for the affordability crisis.
But let’s do the math.

For $54 billion we could build enough solar power for every household in the country.

Instead, he wants to dump HALF A TRILLION into the Pentagon.

Feels like his priorities are to blame.
