Update. "The #EPA Relied on an Influential #Glyphosate Study Even After Learning #Monsanto Was a 'Ghost Writer'." https://www.motherjones.com/environment/2026/06/epa-roundup-glyphosate-monsanto-ghostwritten-herbicide-cancer-bayer/ #GoldStandardScience #Medicine #Misconduct #USPol #USPolitics

Update. "Supreme Court ruling blocks thousands of lawsuits against the maker of #Roundup weedkiller." https://apnews.com/article/supreme-court-roundup-monsanto-a7f054d80919f98bdfc5190013a8f6f1 The court ruled for #Monsanto because the #EPA said Roundup (#glyphosate) was harmless, not because the 𝘴𝘤𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 said it was harmless. There's good evidence that that the EPA decision was flawed, if not cynical. It relied on studies written mostly by Monsanto staffers and the lead article has been retracted. Here's the #SCOTUS decision itself. https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25pdf/24-1068_n7ip.pdf The upside: The #RepublicanSchism will deepen. Some #MAGA voters side with the Trump EPA friendliness to corporate polluters. Others (including #RFKJr when he could speak freely) side with #MAHA opposition to glyphosate. The downside: More people will die from this poison. #GoldStandardScience #Medicine #Misconduct #USLaw #USPol #USPolitics

The situation with the reflecting pool is such a symbol of the utter lack of understanding of ecological systems by the Trump administration. The reflecting pool is a public transparent example: they are making these kinds of decisions EVERYWHERE. Decisions that are equally horrifying, just not as visible or well known. For example, did you know that they are BOMBING the national forests with RoundUp? https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2026/04/roundup-glyphosate-spraying-forests-monsanto-science-retraction-cancer-health-concerns-maha-trump-executive-order-supreme-court-bayer-lawsuits/#MONSANTO #NationalParks #Pool

@Darkphoenix@universeodon.com @theteapixie@mstdn.ca Granted, everyone I knew even remotely at [what used to be] #Bayer explicitly warned against it and those that had preference shares literally sold them off before the deal closure because they knew that the #Monsanto deal was a net and gross negative amidst the mountain of litigation ongoing... At most, folks at #CropSciences would've only considered buying the #patents and rights to anything but #RoundUp because that thing was burning hill of shit!
