Update. "The #EPA Relied on an Influential #Glyphosate Study Even After Learning #Monsanto Was a 'Ghost Writer'." https://www.motherjones.com/environment/2026/06/epa-roundup-glyphosate-monsanto-ghostwritten-herbicide-cancer-bayer/ #GoldStandardScience #Medicine #Misconduct #USPol #USPolitics

Update. "Supreme Court ruling blocks thousands of lawsuits against the maker of #Roundup weedkiller." https://apnews.com/article/supreme-court-roundup-monsanto-a7f054d80919f98bdfc5190013a8f6f1 The court ruled for #Monsanto because the #EPA said Roundup (#glyphosate) was harmless, not because the 𝘴𝘤𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 said it was harmless. There's good evidence that that the EPA decision was flawed, if not cynical. It relied on studies written mostly by Monsanto staffers and the lead article has been retracted. Here's the #SCOTUS decision itself. https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25pdf/24-1068_n7ip.pdf The upside: The #RepublicanSchism will deepen. Some #MAGA voters side with the Trump EPA friendliness to corporate polluters. Others (including #RFKJr when he could speak freely) side with #MAHA opposition to glyphosate. The downside: More people will die from this poison. #GoldStandardScience #Medicine #Misconduct #USLaw #USPol #USPolitics

Tell the EPA: Phase out glyphosate, protect America’s wildlife Glyphosate has never truly been proven safe. But it’s still America’s most commonly used pesticide, sprayed on millions of acres every year. The truth is that glyphosate harms America’s wildlife. It contributed to the massive decline in monarch butterfly populations, hurts bees and has been found dangerous to 93% of endangered species. #Wildlife #Glyphosate #EPA #Petition

"But amidst the flurry of legal activity, few have stopped to ask a fundamental question: Why are we spraying so much glyphosate in the first place? The answer, in many cases, is animal agriculture." https://sentientmedia.org/roundups-connection-to-meat/ #PublicHealth #food #nutrition #glyphosate #RoundUp #MAHA #agriculture #EPA #courts

First Nation communities in Ontario issued a moratorium on glyphosates because, among other things, they increase risk of forest fires. The glyphosate was sprayed anyway. Entire Indigenous communities have been destroyed in these fires. No aid was sent. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/sudbury/glyphosate-spraying-wildfires-1.7627844 #glyphosate #ForestFire #Wildfires #Ontario #Indigenous #Indigedon

Citing Child Cancer Risk, Lawsuit Targets Trump EPA Over #Glyphosate. “The EPA’s silence leaves families in the dark and falls far short of its responsibility to protect public health” — Environmental Working Group

"Concerns were raised regarding the authorship of this paper, validity of the research findings in the context of misrepresentation of the contributions by the authors and the study sponsor and potential conflicts of interest of the authors.
