An early #MAHA Commission report warned about corporate influence over science and policy and raised health concerns about #cancer-linked glyphosate and atrazine. The final report — after intense industry lobbying — adopted language promoted by CropLife. usrtk.org/pesticides/pestici…

Must read BOMBSHELL investigation about pesiticide industry ties at White House. Seeing how sophisticated and powerful these special interests are behind the scenes was deeply disturbing.
The question is simple: Who is this administration protecting - our children or the pesticide industry?
Here's what @usrighttoknow uncovered:
- Warnings about glyphosate and atrazine disappeared from the final MAHA strategy, which proposed ZERO new pesticide restrictions.
- The pesticide lobby's president said, “The White House was very responsive.”
- CropLife America, backed by pesticide giants including Bayer, BASF, and Syngenta, celebrated the outcome as a major victory.
- 5,200 farmer letters, paid advertising, congressional coordination, and direct meetings with White House officials were part of the industry's lobbying campaign.

“The MAHA report was about healing America’s sick kids, and Croplife’s proudest moment was getting glyphosate and atrazine restrictions out of it?” @GlyphosateGirl
“I would like to see them present this ‘win’ at the hospital bedsides of pediatric cancer victims throughout farm country, and see how that resonate.”

Weakening the MAHA strategy is cited as top pesticide industry history last year. They argued “pesticides are strongly regulated.”
NOTE: The last EPA glyphosate review was thrown out because it was proven Bayer ghost-wrote research and bribed EPA officials.

African faith leaders call on @GatesFoundation to stop funding AGRA; make reparations for damage caused by its agricultural interventions (via support for small-scale farmers, indigenous practices + climate resilience measures); and invest in sustainable, inclusive, equitable food systems and #agroecology. Will the foundation respond? @neilwatkins05 safcei.org/twenty-years-on-5…

1/ A follow-up to the latest #FOIA records posted by @USRightToKnow: In June, Joseph Murphy wrote in this essay that he faced “reprisal investigations” and efforts to prosecute him over his complaint alleging coverup of the DEFUSE prososal. He did not specify any resulting discipline.

NEW #FOIA records: 1/ In an August 2021 complaint, Marine officer Joseph Murphy alleged DARPA concealed DEFUSE, a rejected proposal with the Wuhan Institute of Virology that some proponents of a lab-leak have come to view as a blueprint for engineering SARS-CoV-2.
We’ve posted 117 pages on DoD IG’s handling of the complaint: usrtk.org/wp-content/uploads…

A blockbuster article by @susrust in @latimes A must read which illustrates a familiar pattern by major polluters.
"Internal memos among company scientists and executives obtained by The Times reveal that for at least half a century, the plastics industry has been aware of and concerned about the potential for microplastic contamination in the human body."
