Supreme Court ruling on Roundup weed killer leaves MAHA leaders feeling betrayed

Key Points:

• The Supreme Court ruled 7-2 that Bayer, manufacturer of Roundup, does not have to warn consumers about a potential cancer risk linked to its glyphosate-based weed killer, blocking thousands of state lawsuits.
• This decision disappointed the "Make America Healthy Again" (MAHA) movement, which views glyphosate as carcinogenic and accuses the Trump administration of favoring agrochemical industry interests.
• The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under Trump found glyphosate unlikely to be carcinogenic in 2020, a stance challenged by environmental groups and contradicted by the International Agency for Research on Cancer's 2015 classification of glyphosate as "probably carcinogenic."
• MAHA activists and some lawmakers, including Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, plan to push Congress to remove liability protections for pesticide companies and demand accountability for health risks.
• Scientists continue to debate glyphosate's risks, with many supporting the IARC's findings of increased cancer risk, while criticizing the EPA's reliance on industry-funded studies.
