"The Make America Healthy Again, or MAHA, movement notched a win Thursday when the House voted to strip a pesticides provision from the farm bill.

The amendment was introduced by Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, a Florida Republican who has bolstered the concerns of MAHA activists in the House. It removed language from the bill that Democrats say would have shielded pesticide companies like Bayer from health-related lawsuits."

Immersion in a hot toxic soup

From humans, wildlife and invertebrates: Simultaneous exposure of toxins and climate harms likely to cause reduced fertility

An " ‘alarming’ effect on fertility across global species from simultaneous exposures."

"The chemicals are ubiquitous in consumer goods, so humans are often regularly exposed."

“There is enough evidence in both areas to act to reduce our impact on the planet...The solution to the systemic problems would involve reining in climate change and reducing the use of toxic chemicals." >>
