MTG: Roundup victory leaves cancer patients behind

Former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene criticized the Supreme Court and President Trump after the Court's 7-2 ruling that limited state lawsuits against Bayer's Roundup, saying no one is standing up for cancer patients. Bayer maintains glyphosate is not carcinogenic, aligning with the EPA and regulators worldwide, and the ruling overturned a Missouri jury award in a Roundup case. The episode highlights ongoing political and legal battles over glyphosate safety and Bayer/Monsanto's role in U.S. agriculture.

Monsanto Ordered to Pay $857 Million for Toxic Leaks in PCB Case

Chemical firm Monsanto, owned by Bayer, has been ordered to pay $857 million to seven individuals who claimed they were affected by toxic leaks from light fittings at a US school. The plaintiffs argued that polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) made them sick, and a jury found Monsanto negligent and liable for selling the PCBs used at the school. PCBs were banned by the US government in 1979 due to their links to cancer. Monsanto plans to appeal the verdict, which adds to the company's legal troubles following court cases over its glyphosate-based weed killer Roundup.
