TONY LYONS (MAHA ACTION PRESIDENT): I want to start with last Thursday's Supreme Court ruling for Bayer Monsanto because it's a devastating blow to public health. By shielding the maker of Roundup from liability for failing to warn people, the court put profits ahead of American families. John Durnell used Roundup for about 20 years and developed non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. A jury of ordinary Americans heard the evidence and held Monsanto accountable. And the Supreme Court just threw that verdict out. The message to families is once Washington stamps a label approved, you get no say at all, no day in court. And here's what's hard to stomach. Monsanto could have warned people. Two justices said exactly that.
This is the same company whose old safety study was retracted just last year after it came out that they'd helped ghost write it. And this isn't the left versus the right. The dissent was written by Justice Jackson and joined by Justice Gorsuch, appointed by opposite parties. So this is corporate capture, plain and simple. Exactly what this movement, the MAHA movement, exists to end. So, hear me clearly. This isn't the end of the fight, it's the start of a bigger one.
We'll go to Congress and demand that they restore every American's right to hold these companies accountable. And the Senate, writing its farm bill right now, must not write this shield back in. We'll push the EPA for an honest, independent review of glyphosate built on real science, not studies paid for by the people selling the chemical. And we'll take it to the ballot box because this is why the midterms matter and why we need MAHA candidates elected. Monsanto has the money, the lawyers, the power, and now a ruling from the Supreme Court. But we have something much stronger. We have millions of Americans tired of being told to sit down and accept a food system that's making them and their kids sick. And we will not be quiet. We will not back down. We won't stop. Thursday's decision is a setback, but not the final word. And together, we're going to win.
