so you believe that maga will make your life better, but you don't consider things like this;
Today, the House Appropriations Committee voted by party line to approve a Fiscal Year 2026 appropriations bill, inclusive of language (Sec. 453) that would prevent the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) from improving the rules for warning labels on pesticides. The legislation heads to the House floor after August recess.
The move comes as Roundup manufacturer Bayer pushes to pass the Cancer Gag Act, which would shield pesticide corporations from health related lawsuits. The Cancer Gag Act was introduced in twelve states this year to robust opposition; it failed in nine and passed in two (the bill is still pending in North Carolina). Reintroduction of the federal Cancer Gag Act, introduced last year as the Agricultural Uniformity Labeling Act, is expected this year.
Food & Water Watch Senior Food Policy Analyst Rebecca Wolf issued the following statement:
“Today’s despicable vote to further defund the government will undermine public health. There is hardly a family in America untouched by cancer, a disease repeatedly linked to industrial agriculture. Today’s vote gives Big Ag their cake and lets them eat it too — enabling pesticide corporations to profit off dangerous chemicals and preventing the public from being any the wiser about the risks to their own health........more..........
