Trump promised to take on toxic chemicals and “Make America Healthy Again.” Then his Administration went to the Supreme Court and sided with Bayer/Monsanto over people who say they were harmed by Roundup. It’s a total betrayal of the MAHA movement and all the people who have

“This is a betrayal.” MAHA and Dem leaders commit to reverse the Supreme Court ruling on behalf of Bayer by now taking the fight to Congress. @SenBooker, @zenhoneycutt, @chelliepingree, @GlyphosateGirl, @TimRyan on @WSITYpod. Episode out now.

Back in 2013, a widely cited paper concluded that glyphosate—the main ingredient in herbicides like Roundup—was not likely to cause cancer. Seven years later, during the first Trump Administration, the @EPA cited that paper as part of its scientific basis for concluding that

The EPA relied on an influential glyphosate study even after learning Monsanto was a “ghost writer” motherjones.com/environment/20…

Terrible ruling today out of SCOTUS. After President Trump put his finger on the scales, Bayer has won in court what it could not get through Congress: a powerful new shield from accountability. If the Supreme Court is going to put even more weight on EPA’s pesticide review and

Republicans want a TRILLION dollars for the Pentagon… but say there is only enough money for *one* additional Bath-built DDG-51 destroyer? These ships are the backbone of our Navy. How can you claim to support revitalizing America’s sea power—and American manufacturing—but

The House and Senate just passed a bipartisan bill that would tackle the housing crisis head on by expanding affordable housing programs, increasing financing tools for construction, supporting first-time homebuyers, and addressing homelessness in our communities. It cleared

BREAKING NEWS: PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP has canceled the signing of the housing bill until Congress passes the SAVE America Act. The stage is set in the Capitol. House GOP leadership is literally on stage right now touting the bill.

Happy Father’s Day to all the dads, granddads, and father figures across Maine! Whether you’re out on the water, firing up the grill, working in the garden, or just enjoying a little peace and quiet, I hope today is filled with family, laughter, and appreciation for all you do.

Vermont just proved a paraquat ban is possible. Now Congress must make it national. This pesticide is already banned in more than 70 countries and linked to Parkinson's disease, yet EPA has been reviewing its safety since 2022 without finishing the job. I'm proud to introduce

Paraquat has been banned in over 70 countries, including every nation in the European Union, because the science is clear about the devastating neurological risks associated with exposure. The United States has no business allowing a chemical linked to Parkinson's disease to

Trump trashed the JCPOA, dragged us into a costly and dangerous war, and now wants Americans to celebrate a weaker, riskier framework that reportedly includes a $300 BILLION reconstruction fund for Iran, oil export waivers, and unfreezing Iranian assets? His so-called “deal”

It’s the end of yet another terrible week in Washington. Republicans approved billions more for ICE and Trump is continuing his undiplomatic and reckless war with Iran. And don’t get me started on the president’s birthday party UFC match on the White House lawn this weekend.

A federal judge ruled that Trump had to take his name off the Kennedy Center by TODAY. But we all know how much he hates being told no, so he got his hand-picked board to file an appeal. Mr. President, I’m confused… I thought you were washing your hands with the Kennedy Center
