Huge win for states rights and MAHA!
The special provisions for pesticides (and herbicides like glyphosate) was just stripped from the farm bill by an overwhelming majority!
If we’re Making America Healthy Again, government shouldn't be promoting glyphosate and providing liability immunity for corporations making it.
Thank you to @RepEliCrane for cosponsoring the No Immunity for Glyphosate Act.
Even if what you said were true, which it isn't, it wouldn't explain why Bayer/Monsanto would get immunity. There's a 2018 trial that shows they knew they were causing cancer. You should look it up
I will always tell the American people the truth.
Pesticides and herbicides are toxic by design, engineered to kill living organisms. When we apply them across millions of acres and allow them into our food system, we put Americans at risk. Chemical manufacturers have paid tens of billions of dollars to settle cancer claims linked to their products, and many agricultural communities report elevated cancer rates and chronic disease.
Unfortunately, our agricultural system depends heavily on these chemicals. The U.S. represents 4% of the world’s population, yet we use roughly 25% of its pesticides. If these inputs disappeared overnight, crop yields would fall, food prices would surge, and America would experience a massive loss of farms even beyond what we are witnessing today. The consequences would be disastrous.
I support President Trump’s Executive Order to bring agricultural chemical production back to the United States and end our near-total reliance on adversarial nations. His EO protects two pillars of national strength: our defense readiness and our food supply. When hostile actors control critical inputs, they directly threaten the security of the American people. The Trump administration will secure these supply chains to eliminate that vulnerability.
President Trump did not build our current system — he inherited it. For decades, Washington designed modern agriculture. Policymakers wrote farm policy, directed research dollars, structured subsidies and crop insurance, and shaped commodity markets to reward monocultures and maximum yield. Those deliberate choices locked farmers into chemical dependence and prioritized short-term output over long-term soil vitality and human health.
We are now changing course — without destabilizing the food supply.
Alongside @USDA@SecRollins, we are accelerating the transition to regenerative agriculture by expanding farming systems that rebuild soil, increase biodiversity, improve water retention, and reduce reliance on synthetic chemicals, including pre-harvest desiccation.
We are also driving the rapid adoption of next-generation technologies, including laser-guided weed control, electrothermal and electrical systems, robotics, precision mechanical cultivation, and biological controls that replace blanket spraying with precision intervention.
These solutions are not theoretical. Farmers are already putting them to work. Markets are scaling them. Now the federal government will act with urgency to expand their reach and accelerate adoption nationwide.
I have met with hundreds of farmers and agricultural leaders across the country. They understand the pressures firsthand. Chemical inputs cut into margins. Chemical-resistant pests are spreading. Soil health is declining. Foreign markets are shutting out American produce. Farmers want workable alternatives, and they want policies that support transition without threatening their livelihoods.
At HHS, I am leading a coordinated effort grounded in gold standard science. I am working with Secretary Rollins and @EPALeeZeldin to expedite a better future where a thriving agricultural system is less dependent on harmful chemicals. We are sharing data, coordinating strategy, and supporting farmers through a practical transition.
The Make America Healthy Again agenda forces us to challenge long-standing assumptions about how we grow food, structure markets, and measure success in this country. Reform at this scale will test entrenched interests, and it will not move in a straight line.
President Trump has opened the door to this debate and backed meaningful change — not only in policy, but in the national conversation about health and agriculture.
American farmers stand at the center of this movement. They deserve policies rooted in rigorous science and economic reality. Our children deserve a food system that protects and strengthens their health.
With President Trump’s leadership, we are securing critical supply chains, confronting the health risks embedded in our current system, and deploying every available tool to build a stronger, safer, more resilient American food supply.
Americans need to know: our government is under siege by lobbyists from German company Bayer.
Bayer has spent over $9 million lobbying for exemption from liability for harm its chemicals like glyphosate might cause. The Constitution guarantees a trial for those who are harmed.

A new study found that women with no history of breast cancer saw breast cancer gene expression drop after just 28 days of removing certain ingredients from everyday products.
The only change? Eliminating phthalates — chemicals often hidden under “fragrance” or “parfum” in deodorants, skincare, and shampoos.
Both U.S. and EU laws allow companies to hide dozens of chemicals under that single word.
If gene activity shifts in four weeks, what happens after years of daily exposure?
Avoid hidden fragrances. Choose clean formulas or essential oils instead.
Health isn’t worth the scent.
Yikes.
Senate Amendment to the Big Beautiful Bill =
You get taxed on more than you earned from gambling, even if you netted $0 (or less!).
Here's how it works and what you can do...
The change
If it passes in this form, starting in 2026, gambling losses (and expenses) will only be 90% deductible (and still only up to your total winnings).
What this means in plain English
If you win $100k and lose $100k – You’ll owe tax on $10k of “phantom” income.
If you win $100k and lose $50k – You actually profited $50k, but you’ll owe tax on $55k.
If you win $100k and lose $150k – No tax owed (your deduction is capped at $100k, which is more than 90% of $150k ($135k)).
(Editing in from my post below because it's important:
A pro who earns $200k/year might have $3m in winnings and $2.8m in losses.
This means earning $200k and being taxed as if they earned $480k.)
This applies to both recreational and professional gamblers.
For pros, your travel, coaching, software, etc. are lumped into the “loss” bucket and still subject to the 90% cap.
What to do
Pulling from @russcfox's post:
"If you don't like this (and I don't), and if you have a GOP Congressman, let them know. (You can find your House representative at https://t.co/OCRMfd1P3l) Be respectful in your message, and, yes, they are looked at."
Thank you for breaking the news and keeping poker players posted, Russ!

In Korean & Chinese culture, celebrating a baby's 100 days, or Baek-il/100 Day Celebration, marks a milestone from when infant mortality was high. It symbolizes health, longevity, and gratitude for the baby's survival. 💛
Today, we celebrated Grace's 100 days! Time flies when you're cherishing every moment with your little pearl. Here's to many more days filled with love and light. 💖✨
