Update. "Supreme Court ruling blocks thousands of lawsuits against the maker of #Roundup weedkiller."
https://apnews.com/article/supreme-court-roundup-monsanto-a7f054d80919f98bdfc5190013a8f6f1The 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 It relied on studies written mostly by Monsanto staffers and the lead article has been retracted.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.pdfThe 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.

Trump’s “#GoldStandardScience” Leaves Washington
What’s happening with #executiveorder is not gold standard at all. It is a political strategy that undermines #science
#Alabama is pushing forward #SB71 and #HB162, that would constrain state’s ability to adopt protective #environmental and #publichealth standards.
Trump’s “gold standard science” #EO was never about improving scientific rigor, it was about inserting political judgment into scientific decision-making.
