Ghost written in 2000? Perish the thought. Shades of Big Pharma....1,300 citations buried, ignored, denied? Say it ain't so! Relying on the Mon-Satan Fox's reports on the missing chickens and believing it, despite the feather's and blood covering it's snout? Nothing to see here, move along, keep it moving. The Fox and friends agree they agree no need to look at anything else, they have a consensus.
Regardless, despite the denial of any direct human harm, hiding behind we don't have the Specific bacteria Pathway, (don't pay any no mind our gut microbiome we rely on does,) to totally ignore the microbes outside our bodies, in the soils, other lifeforms, and pretend those don't matter either. That those avenues when disrupted, culled, thrown out of balance affects us indirectly, from outside the body. By ignoring such after decades, nearly half a century of use has had the affect of Salting the Earth and poisoning the wells. All is affected and all if not addressed properly turns all into a Wasteland.
Clever Fauci, Big Pharma, Big Ag, Big Chemical Look at This, Pay No Heed to That, Framing. Not only do these feed each others coffers, but they also feed Big Oil, Big Finance, Legacy Media's.
This has allowed a massive Cannibalistic Monopoly Python to strangle, consume millions of local, small family farms who once were providing Short, Stable, Supply line's. Farmers who survived became flanked, captured and turned into Debt Slaves to the Financials and to the Chemical Corporations to our current situation - to pull the lever and stop immediately would collapse our Toxic Empty Calory Ultra Processed Food System. Where is the plan to renew, regenerate Farm Production into not just healthy food production and products, but revive the economy that once supported such? It's not coming from the top down. Even if something were, more than likely it would be the same old, same old with a fresh veneer, facade to cover it up. Locally, decentralized and backing it up Locally to survive the PR Money Machine is the strongest possible way to create the Real Deal. To keep it the Real Deal. For us to be able to see, to live the Real Deal. Just Sayn'
President Donald J. Trump has invoked the Defense Production Act to promote domestic production of glyphosate-based pesticides, potentially giving manufacturers immunity from lawsuits over alleged health impacts and inadequate warning labels.
More than 60,000 lawsuits threaten the viability of Roundup and other glyphosate-based products in the US, according to manufacturer Bayer, which recently proposed a $7.25 billion class settlement.
These actions are part of a larger political brawl over pesticide warnings and manufacturers’ liability, as members of the US Congress seek to shield manufacturers through legislation and the US Supreme Court prepares to hear a related case.

GLYPHOSATE: WEEDING OUR WAY TO THE TRUTH OF ROUNDUP’S CARCINOGENICITY
https://aglawjournal.wp.drake.edu/wp-content/uploads/sites/66/2023/03/Tomlinson-Macro-Final.pdf---------------------
The Farm Bill does not directly regulate the sale of glyphosate; that is the responsibility of the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency).
However, the law has provisions that affect agricultural programs and subsidies that can incentivize the use of certain herbicides or sustainable farming practices:
• Subsidies for herbicide-resistant crops.
• Conservation programs that promote pesticide reduction or regenerative agriculture.
• Incentives for research into alternatives to glyphosate.
Recent debates (2026):
• Some environmental and public health groups criticize the Farm Bill for supporting crops that depend on glyphosate.
• Others point out that certain provisions could fund studies on the risks of glyphosate or promote integrated pest management practices.
• There are legislative discussions to more strictly restrict or label the use of glyphosate in subsidized programs. (waterkeeper.org)
Practical Impact:
• Until specific regulations are signed, the Farm Bill will not ban glyphosate, but it may influence how subsidies, conservation programs, and agricultural technical assistance are used to reduce its environmental and health impacts.
• Some states may implement stricter rules in parallel, but at the federal level, the EPA remains the primary authority on glyphosate.
• Area How it Impacts Consequence for Glyphosate
Practical Summary
• Glyphosate is not banned under the 2026 Farm Bill.
• Its reduction can be incentivized through conservation programs, research, and sustainable alternatives.
• The real impact depends on how the subsidies and programs are implemented and on parallel decisions by the EPA and the states.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Representative Thomas Massie (R-KY) announces the introduction of the bipartisan No Immunity for Glyphosate Act (HR 7601). The legislation will undo the February 18 Executive Order that promotes the use of glyphosate and insulates manufacturers of the chemical from liability. Rep. Chellie Pingree (D-ME) is the co-lead on the legislation.
"If the goal is to 'Make America Healthy Again,' the federal government should not be using its authority to promote or protect the production of glyphosate," said Rep. Thomas Massie. "The February 18 Executive Order expands production of this chemical while granting liability protections to manufacturers. Congress should ensure that Americans retain their right to seek a remedy in court if they believe they have been injured by this product."
"If there was ever any doubt about whose side this Administration is on, this Executive Order makes it crystal clear: Big Chemical comes first, and the health of Americans comes last,” Rep. Chellie Pingree said. “Calling glyphosate production a matter of ‘national security’ is absurd. Invoking wartime authorities to ramp up production while opening the door to liability shields for chemical companies is dangerous and indefensible. This Executive Order has nothing to do with protecting farmers or feeding the country—it’s about protecting corporate profits and insulating polluters from accountability. The No Immunity for Glyphosate Act draws a firm line: chemical companies do not get immunity or government-backed profit boosts because Washington cut them a deal, and Americans do not lose their right to seek justice when they’ve been harmed. I’m proud to work with Rep. Massie and colleagues on both sides of the aisle to uphold that basic principle, because protecting people from toxic exposure should never be a partisan issue."
The February 18 Executive Order invokes wartime authorities to expand and prioritize domestic glyphosate production and confers liability protections for companies participating in federally mandated manufacturing. Because the order explicitly directs and compels the production of glyphosate, manufacturers may argue that their production, formulation, and distribution were undertaken pursuant to federal directive - a defense that could be raised in litigation involving alleged injuries linked to glyphosate exposure, potentially shielding manufacturers from liability.
