A monarch butterfly hovers above a bright yellow flower. The background is green and blurred.
The Center and allies just sued the Trump admin’s #EPA for reapproving a weedkiller called #dicamba.
It kills #NativePlants and threatens dozens of imperiled species — including monarch butterflies, since it harms milkweed, the only plant the caterpillars eat 🦋🦋

Trump EPA #Sued for Reapproving #Dicamba, a Deadly & Volatile Herbicide Responsible for Massive Drift Damage to Crops, Trees, Wild Areas
biologicaldiversity.org/w/news/press...
Le #dicamba, le #pesticide hyper volatile qui vient à la rescousse du #glyphosate (dont les résistances se multiplient), vient d'être réautorisé aux États-Unis - malgré une précédente décision de justice.

It's not just #dicamba and #glyphosate the Trump administration have been busy boosting, they've also registered new PFAS-based #pesticides despite the known damaging effects these forever chemicals have on human health and the environment. And there's so much more earthjustice.org/feature/trum...
Quite apart from Trump's executive order to boost production of #glyphosate, his administration has sided with #Bayer on glyphosate at the Supreme Court, and they've put a pesticide lobbyist into the EPA to re-approve dangerous #dicamba with even fewer restrictions in place than previously!!
Trump’sEPA is planning on approving another toxic herbicide. #Dicamba was banned by 2 courts because of its recognized drift when sprayed on fields. Weeds resistant to glyphosate will now be sprayed with Dicamba, particularly soybeans & cotton #Eating/wearingDicambaistheplannedfuture
Last year, there were no reports of #dicamba damage from its legal use — because the courts had canceled its approval.
No dicamba, no damage.
Not to be deterred by reality, science or the law, Trump’s #EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin assured #BigAg he’d get the problematic #pesticide reapproved.
The #EPA has reapproved the "controversial" herbicide #dicamba (with some restrictions), and environmental advocates are understandably critical of this decision.

MAHA Moms plan a mutiny on the EPA's #dicamba decision.
Are these Moms the heart of MAHA?
My latest shows how Pentecostals are the real core to MAHA, going back a decade.
With RFK Jr planning a run in 28, their support makes him the MAGA heir.
The Moms can go.

Like I said, Donald Trump and his Administration of Doom are committing a global genocide.
But they're starting with America First.

ln the best tradition of the Friday afternoon news dump, #EPA has put out announcements on #coalash and #dicamba regs. Anything else coming or can we call it a day?
As shared by @washingtonpost.com, the U.S. #EPA is expected to #reapprove #dicamba, “an #herbicide for genetically modified soybean and cotton crops, even while acknowledging continued concerns from some growers about spillover effects.” #pesticide #drift #health ➡️ Blog: ow.ly/vyxv50Y9riT

Lori Ann Burd, our #EnvironmentalHealth program director, said the admin. has a particularly strong alliance with industry interests.
As an example, she pointed to the #EPA proposal to allow the broad use of the weed killer #Dicamba on soybeans and cotton.

“Use of this pesticide has been economically devastating and socially divisive. The fact #dicamba was championed by former (industry) lobbyist Kyle Kunkler, who stunningly now leads pesticide regulation, shows that the revolving door and special interests are alive and well at the EPA”—Kelly Ryerson
There’s virtually no way to stop #dicamba drift. “The fact we’re here again after two failed attempts to fix this broken pesticide shows (EPA's) Lee Zeldin and his army of industry lobbyists are utterly incapable of protecting the public” — Nathan Donley, Senior Scientist at @biologicaldiversity.org
EPA set to reapprove #dicamba — previously banned by courts. The EPA has approved dicamba twice before (for over-the-top use on #GMO dicamba-tolerant crops), and both times federal courts vacated those approvals, saying the risk of drift and harm to neighboring farms and gardens was too great.
From Industry to EPA: Lobbyist Now Oversees Pesticide Rules! Kyle Kunkler was the top lobbyist for the US soybean industry, boasting of helping to keep the controversial herbicide #dicamba in use on #GMO crops. Now he's helping keep it in use at the EPA! www.nytimes.com/2025/10/21/c...

In June, Kyle Kunkler was named the Trump admin.'s top official in charge of pesticide policy at the EPA.
Less than a month later, the EPA proposed allowing the use of herbicides containing #dicamba, a chemical whose use has twice been restricted by a federal court.

ALERT: EPA plans to re-approve #dicamba, a #pesticide so bad it was banned 2x by courts thanks to @CFSTrueFood & allies. It's caused the worst crop & wild plant damage in the history of US agriculture. Take action now & tell EPA not to approve dicamba! nation.centerforfoodsafety.org/dicamba25?re...

A University of Missouri report estimated Arkansas had a whopping 900,000 acres of soybeans damaged or destroyed by #dicamba drift during one season (2017), almost 1/3 of that year's crop! An Arkansas farmer was even killed in a dispute over dicamba damage. #gmo arktimes.com/arkansas-blo...
ADD YOUR Name! #Dicamba is so toxic & dangerous that it was banned by courts in 2020 & again in 2024. If Bayer-Monsanto, ChemChina-Syngeta, and BASF succeed in getting #EPA to overturn the courts and rubber-stamp dicamba herbicid, it will be disastrous for agriculture, the environment, & our health!
SIGN! Tell the #EPA: Reapproving #dicamba will cause immeasurable harm to pollinators and people. act.biologicaldiversity.org/jrdCu6M_CEW4...
#USA
Twice banned by the courts, we know there is no way to use this #toxic , #carcinogenic #herbicide without causing immeasurable collateral damage and harm.
New studies found #Dicamba is even more harmful than known. mstr.app/80cf4a77-131...
