People talk about water having an imprinted memory of where it's ever been and what it's been used for. More than likely accurate. Soil also obviously has an imprinted memory stretching deep into antiquity. As go our soils, so go our souls. Take care of the ground, be grateful.

The @forestservice plans to spray glyphosate near Lake Tahoe’s pristine waters as part of a post-fire restoration project. Residents and environmental groups are pushing back. ⤵️ thenewlede.org/2026/06/brewi…

.@ZachLahn: "In the past 10 years, the top five agricultural companies have made $150 billion in profit. They've spent $1 billion lobbying Washington DC and, at the same time, we've lost 200,000 family farms in America... The table needs to be flipped on its head."

Given the widespread use of glyphosate-based herbicides globally, our results have significant implications for public health policy & regulatory decision-making. The hormonal disruptions we identified suggest that pregnant populations may be particularly vulnerable to glyphosate

MAHA is watching closely to see how Republicans in Senate handle the pesticide crisis in the Farm Bill.

“United we stand, divided we fall.” The challenges we face won’t be solved by fighting each other - they’ll be solved by people willing to roll up their sleeves, have tough conversations, and get to work. There’s a lot more we can accomplish when we stop looking for enemies and start looking for solutions. United we are stronger. Divided we fall. Thank you Republican Party of Iowa for standing together to put #IowaFirst 🙌🏼

So like drug addicts farmers continue to use herbicides that no longer work. Time for herbicide rehab.

Reps Chellie Pingree and Jared Huffman wrote: “Given the recent scientific disputes, retracted studies, and litigation surrounding glyphosate due to serious ecological and health harms, we are deeply concerned by the alleged use of the herbicide and lack of information available regarding current and planned use.” Their letter asks critical questions: 🌲 How many acres of national forests are being sprayed? 💧 Have glyphosate residues been tested in soil, water, or wildlife? 🏕️ What protections exist for campers, hikers, firefighters, and nearby communities? 📊 Why isn’t there a public database showing where herbicides are being applied? 🌱 Have safer, non-chemical alternatives been evaluated? We are looking forward to hearing the response from the forest service.

"It is 100% unacceptable that we have the fastest rate of new cancer in the country... We have to be willing to overturn every single stone to get to the bottom of this no matter what special interest or what group it might upset." - @ZachLahn

Publisher investigating two more papers on #glyphosate safety over #Monsanto ghostwriting claims. @EPA cites both papers and reliance on one of the articles, in particular, has “unduly skewed the regulation and adjudication of glyphosate’s cancer risks.” retractionwatch.com/2026/06/…

Lawmakers Demand Answers About Spraying Roundup All Over Public Lands. "The Forest Service is regulated by Congress," Rep. Chellie Pingree told us. "And shouldn't be doing any of these things behind our back." youtube.com/watch?v=FfTV7AgH…

Vote @ZachLahn The people who built Iowa thought in generations, not election cycles. They left us fertile soil, strong communities, and a state worth fighting for. With Zach’s vision now it’s our turn: • End Iowa’s cancer crisis. • Give our young people a reason to stay. • Put farmers before special interests. • Keep Iowa land in Iowa hands. Plant the seed. Do the work. Leave Iowa stronger than you found it. If you weren’t able to hear @ZachLahn speech today at the GOP convention the links are in the comments:

Bayer Shares Hinge On Two Court Decisions After $60 Billion Rout. The next few weeks are make or break for the German company and its ill-fated purchase of #Monsanto, which has led to a 60% slump in its shares. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Glyphosate has been used in both Colombia & Brazil against Indigenous communities to drive them from their land in the interests of big ag corporations. Sprayed from the air, those affected report dizziness, headaches, stomach aches, nausea & diarrhea; doctors speak of poisoning.

Israel's poison war: "Slaughtering the Arabs with 'modern' weapons." The use of #glyphosate and white phosphorus by the Israeli army is in the tradition of colonial warfare. And glyphosate and white phosphorus are products of a German corporation—@Bayer jungewelt.de/artikel/523176.…

Human rights organization accuses Israel of pursuing a "scorched earth policy" with "chemical substances" (now known to be #glyphosate) and white phosphorus. Says the spraying of farmland in Lebanon and Syria amounts to war crime, targets civilian survival euromedmonitor.org/en/articl…

What are the odds?!

Washington’s costly war in Iran is driving up inflation, topping 4% for the first time in years. Yet Mike Rounds refuses to vote for — or against — the war. If he expects South Dakotans to face pain at the pump and checkout counter, he should at least cowboy up and take a stance.
