Paxton Targets Bayer Over Glyphosate in Kids' Food

Texas Attorney General @KenPaxtonTX has opened legal action against Bayer and other corporate giants for glyphosate contamination in food, targeting a loophole that major food companies have been using to spray glyphosate on oats sourced from countries where the practice is permitted even as the EPA prohibits it domestically.

Oats treated this way end up in the cereals, breakfast bars, and cookies that children eat every day.

@JeffereyJaxen walks through why children are the central concern. A 2025 study found that children are particularly vulnerable to glyphosate exposure because of immature liver and kidney function that reduces their ability to metabolize and excrete the chemical, and because they consume more food relative to body weight than adults, accelerating bioaccumulation.

Paxton's investigation is also examining whether major food companies have misled consumers about the health claims of products marketed to families.

Florida Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo has separately launched a public initiative testing glyphosate levels in bread to give parents the information they need to make purchasing decisions.

Iowa has become a focal point: the state has the nation's second-highest cancer rate and applied 53 million pounds of pesticides last year, and, for the first time, candidates from both parties running for governor and Secretary of Agriculture have made rising cancer rates and nitrate-contaminated water central campaign priorities.

The political class is following the people, not the other way around.

Attorney Brant Wisner, who brought Monsanto to its knees in the 2018 Dwayne Johnson trial and triggered the avalanche of 170,000 glyphosate cancer lawsuits now threatening Bayer's survival, is now investigating atrazine. The WHO's International Agency for Research on Cancer classified atrazine as a probable human carcinogen at the end of 2025. The EPA responded by echoing Syngenta's own criticisms of the finding. Wisner Baum has opened an investigation into whether farmworkers, pesticide applicators, and rural families were exposed for decades without adequate safety warnings.

Atrazine has been detected in drinking water sources across agricultural communities nationwide for years and is banned in most developed countries outside the United States. Syngenta should be watching what happened to Bayer very carefully.

Also reported: ICAN has filed a petition pressing the FDA to require that direct-to-consumer pharmaceutical advertising disclose all risks alongside benefits equally, not just major risks, using model regulatory language drafted by ICAN attorneys.

The United States and New Zealand are the only developed countries that permit DTC drug advertising at all. The American Medical Association has called for an outright ban. @ICANdecide is asking for the next best thing: full informed consent on every ad.

The collapse of American science and medicine is the biggest story of our lifetime.

If you get a Lyme vaccine you are dumb and will soon have an autoimmune disorder.

I cannot emphasize strongly enough how corrosive it is for society, to have people dying left and right from the Covid shots, yet there's no official acknowledgement from the federal government, the media, or the medical community that this is happening and that this is a crisis.

[TraceG @GarstkaTracy]

This is so true! 🤣

[Jum @JesterJum]

I really like how we all just cyberbullied the government into making the Hantavirus go away 🤣

The @realDonaldTrump admin just filed a brief in the U.S. Supreme Court betraying religious liberty by arguing it is perfectly fine for employers to have policies that allow medical but not religious exemptions to vaccination requirements.

NEW: Trump Administration’s DOJ Filing in Supreme Court ‘Sharp Betrayal’ of Religious Freedom

"In a stunning reversal the Department of Justice under President Trump has filed a brief urging the U.S. Supreme Court to deny review in John Doe et al. v. Kathy Hochul, No. 24-1015. The case involves former New York healthcare workers fired for refusing COVID-19 vaccination on religious grounds..."

The ASSIGNMENT was to:
Arrest Fauci, Baric, Bancel, Bourla, and Gates;
Pull the Covid shots from the market; &
End liability protection for Pharma.

INSTEAD WE GOT:
Expanded use of dicamba & atrazine;
Liability protection for glyphosate; &
a PREP Act emergency declaration psyop.

[The HighWire @HighWireTalk]

The Pentagon has established a COVID-19 Reinstatement and Reconciliation Task Force to address the discharge of service members who refused the coronavirus vaccine mandate. To date, approximately 170 have been reinstated, another 170 have had their cases reassessed, and around 800 discharged soldiers have expressed interest in returning to service.

No formal apology has come from the government officials who locked down schools, mandated shots, and ended military careers over a vaccine refusal. But for the soldiers who lost their positions for holding the line, there is now a path back.

@efdavis419 @AaronSiriSG @elisha_wachman You are so funny! Mr. Siri’s track record in the courtroom speaks for itself!

[TraceG @GarstkaTracy]

The insanity must stop! Parents….inform yourselves!

Merck is conducting a clinical trial of Gardasil vaccine in children 4 to 8 years of age in which the only safety endpoint is injection site swelling and redness up to 3 days after injection. Can’t say I am surprised anymore. https://t.co/ft5INsGmRP

@usanewshq It certainly makes for a good show.

[TraceG @GarstkaTracy]

@bennyjohnson All so stupid

[TraceG @GarstkaTracy]

@MaryBowdenMD @MaryBowdenMD you are one of the few true heroes left to n this world! You are confident, focused and unwavering in your beliefs! Thank you for being so courageous and determined despite all odds! So many of us are with you!

[TraceG @GarstkaTracy]

@delbigtree if ever the day comes that I learn you are compromised, that is the day I retreat and give up. Please stay true to yourself, no matter what because you really have no idea what you represent for so many of us!!

[TraceG @GarstkaTracy]

@SophiaLorr64866 @Kevin_McKernan @JohnBeaudoinSr But he has always said he is t afraid of dying. So my vote is his family.

[TraceG @GarstkaTracy]

@justkeeprunin71 @Kevin_McKernan Sadly, most likely.

[TraceG @GarstkaTracy]

@Kevin_McKernan Agree. He should resign.

[TraceG @GarstkaTracy]

@ChildrensHD You are waffling! No pharmaceutical or treatment should ever be given liability protection! Never! For any reason! Period!

[TraceG @GarstkaTracy]

@ChildrensHD @ChildrensHD have you just waffled?
