MAHA win: pesticide language stripped from farm bill
TL;DR
The House voted 280-142 to remove pesticide labeling language from the farm bill after Make America Healthy Again activists pressured lawmakers, a win for MAHA-aligned Republicans and Democrats who argued the protections shield pesticide makers from lawsuits; Rep. Anna Paulina Luna led the amendment, with six Democrats voting to keep it and 73 Republicans backing the MAHA position. Separately, the House passed the GOP-led farm bill 224-200 as leadership sought to decouple the E15 plan and push DHS funding and other measures ahead of an upcoming recess, though Senate prospects remain uncertain.
