MAHA is mad about glyphosate and Trump's EPA : NPR

Key Points:

• Prominent figures within the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) coalition criticized the Trump administration outside the Supreme Court for supporting Bayer in a glyphosate-related lawsuit, highlighting tensions over chemical safety and health priorities.
• The case concerns whether Bayer, owner of Monsanto, can be shielded from lawsuits claiming it failed to warn consumers about glyphosate's cancer risks, with the Trump administration siding with the pesticide maker despite scientific concerns.
• EPA under Administrator Lee Zeldin has pursued aggressive deregulation, rolling back protections on drinking water, air quality, and chemical exposures, which has frustrated MAHA advocates who see these actions as contradictory to public health goals.
• Critics argue the administration’s efforts amount to "PR stunts" rather than substantive protections, citing examples like adding contaminants to EPA’s candidate list without guaranteed regulatory follow-through and dismantling key research offices.
• Environmental groups are engaged in legal battles against the administration’s weakening of chemical protections, while some MAHA members express disillusionment over perceived government inaction despite high-profile meetings and public statements.
