MAHA win: pesticide language stripped from farm bill

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.

House Republicans are negotiating to move three priority items—the three-year extension of the Section 702 spy law, the farm bill with pesticide labeling provisions, and a budget resolution—toward floor votes, but internal hard-liner opposition and ongoing negotiations threaten to delay action even as King Charles III visits the Capitol.

GOP Divisions Put Farm-Bill Pesticide Rule in Spotlight

House Republicans are poised to vote on pesticide labeling language within the farm bill after a revolt from MAGA-aligned Republicans and Make America Healthy Again activists. Rep. Anna Paulina Luna has threatened to derail the bill if the pesticide provision—seen as a liability shield for manufacturers—is not stripped. A draft House Rules rule to advance the farm bill circulated, but it still must clear committees and win floor votes, underscoring intra-GOP tensions alongside other items like the Section 702 FISA extension, budget priorities, and ethanol policy.

GOP aims for late-April floor vote on farm bill amid internal divisions

House Republicans plan a late-April floor vote on the farm bill after committee approval, but timing is fluid amid other priorities (immigration enforcement funding and a potential second reconciliation) and intra-party divisions over pesticide labeling and state livestock laws. Some Democrats may back the bill due to bipartisan provisions, while conservatives worry about certain “poison pills”; Senate leadership is moving ahead with timing discussions as they prepare for potential negotiations to secure 60 votes.
