Since January 2025, the Trump admin has consistently targeted journalists for their reporting.

Ahead of World Press Freedom Day, we're urging the DOJ to drop charges against @ByGeorgiaFort and other journalists.

The Modern Ag Alliance has been the leading public face of a campaign to quash tens of thousands of cancer claims surrounding the use of Roundup, the highly controversial and most widely used pesticide in the world. https://t.co/8T5eLx4D0v

[The American Prospect @TheProspect]

In the eight years since it bought Monsanto, Bayer AG has been saddled with an endless stream of lawsuits and settlement payments for cancer claims related to the most widely used herbicide in the world. https://t.co/pfgOSEq5Z9

[The American Prospect @TheProspect]

The executive order President Trump signed in February protecting and encouraging the production of glyphosate, the primary ingredient in Roundup, is a major victory for Bayer AG. https://t.co/8YzQo5xpE4

As the Supreme Court hears arguments in a case that could stall lawsuits against Roundup's role in causing cancer, we have a 3-part series from @exposedbycmd on Bayer/Monsanto's drive for immunity from Roundup liability. First, on the overall lobbying, PR, & legal campaign:

[Barn Raiser @Barn_Raising]

New: The Modern Ag Alliance purports to now represent more than 110 agricultural organizations in the U.S. and claims that farmers need “crop protection tools” like Roundup “to ensure that [Americans] have a robust and affordable domestic food supply.”

But a look below the surface reveals that Bayer AG, the German pharmaceutical giant that produces Roundup—and whose Roundup-related liabilities topped $11 billion last year—launched the group in 2024 to help protect its bottom line and shield the company from rising public anger over the product’s cancer risks. Bayer’s lead lobbyist, Hallie Utley, serves as its CEO and board president.
