Oh, today I learned that a number of northeastern states are considering bans on neonictinoids, a specific family of pesticides. They are already banned in Europe.

Would you believe me if I told you that the farm bill currently working its way through congress would prevent state bans? What’s that about state’s rights, again?

One glimmer of sunshine in the Trumpo v2 shitshow:
From NOTUS:

MAHA’s big day:
On Wednesday, we told you about the Robert F. Kennedy Jr. wing of the Republican Party holding up the farm bill over legal protections pesticide firms enjoy in the current law. It was a big moment for MAHA vs. the traditional GOP — and MAHA won. An amendment from Rep. Anna Paulina Luna was included in the final bill, which cleared the House yesterday, that Luna’s office said “restores Americans’ right to take these companies to court when their products cause harm.” It now faces an uncertain future in the Senate.
