On Monday, Representative Chellie Pingree stood on the steps of the Supreme Court and named what is actually happening in Congress right now.

Bayer has 53 lobbyists working Capitol Hill and is spending millions to jam a liability shield into the Farm Bill, language that would strip Americans of their right to sue when a product gives them cancer. Pingree fought to have it removed in committee.

Every single Republican and one Democrat voted to keep it in. Across the street from that rally, the House Rules Committee was deciding the same day whether the Pingree-Massie Protect Our Health Amendment would even be allowed a floor vote.

She has been an organic farmer in Maine since the 1970s and has been fighting this fight long before MAHA existed. Her message on Monday? No one can claim to support making America healthy again while voting to protect the companies spraying toxic chemicals on American farmland.

Cancer is not a partisan issue, and any Farm Bill that shields chemical companies over farm families is not pro-farmer, not pro-health, and not pro-America.

Bayer has the money. The people showed up Monday in Washington to make clear that is not enough.
