Major drugmaker Bayer — which sells the controversial, glyphosate-based weed killer Roundup — donated $1 million to Trump's inauguration last year.

Bayer had never before donated to an inaugural committee.

Bayer is a pharmaceutical company.

Monsanto is a pesticide company.

Bayer bought Monsanto.

Bayer makes drugs for non-hodgkin's lymphoma.

Monsanto makes a chemical called Glyphosate to spray on food crops.

Glyphosate causes non-hodgkin's lymphoma.

Only a handful of corporations control the seed market, turning taxpayer subsidies intended for farmers into corporate profits.

The bottle of aspirin is from the exact same company that is supplying the Israeli to kill children. They literally made the gas for the gas chambers. Bayer has always loved committing war crimes.

Relevant to this story, on June 23, 2026, the US Supreme Court issued an opinion siding with the maker of Roundup weedkiller. In a 7-2 ruling, the Supreme Court held that the maker of Roundup (Bayer) cannot be sued in state courts for failure to warn because federal regulators have found a cancer link unlikely and do not require a warning label. Federal law also bars states from imposing additional or different labeling requirements, the opinion from Justice Brett Kavanaugh states. That opinion should have no bearing on the lawsuit described below.

Excerpt from this story from The New Lede:

The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) is violating the law by failing to turn over records related to an executive order issued by President Donald Trump protecting production of the controversial pesticide glyphosate, according to a lawsuit filed Monday.

The lawsuit, filed by the Center for Biological Diversity, seeks to force the USDA to comply with a Freedom of Information Act request the center submitted on Feb. 26 requesting records related to how and why the order was developed. 

“The main thing we’re hoping to understand is who in particular pushed for this?” said Brett Hartl, government affairs director at The Center for Biological Diversity, a nonprofit organization that advocates for environment and health issues. 

The order was widely questioned by public health and environmental groups who saw the move by the Trump administration as directly benefitting Germany’s Bayer, which manufactures glyphosate in the US and is a key supplier of glyphosate-based herbicides, such as Roundup. Glyphosate herbicides have been linked to health issues such as cancer, and Bayer is currently fending off tens of thousands of lawsuits brought by people suffering from cancer they blame on exposure to the company’s products.

Bayer has been lobbying for federal and state laws to protect it from further litigation, and has asked the US Supreme Court for a ruling that would preempt key claims in the lawsuits. 

Citing national security, the February order was issued under the Defense Production Act. The order calls for the defense of both glyphosate and elemental phosphorus, the raw material used to make controversial white phosphorus weapons. 

According to the World Health Organization, white phosphorus can cause deep and severe burns, penetrating even through bone. Because of this, its specific uses are regulated by international humanitarian law.

Bayer is currently the only domestic producer of both elemental phosphorus and glyphosate.

The Center for Biological Diversity points out that the executive order is unique in its language granting “immunity” to chemical companies that make glyphosate.

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled 7–2 on Thursday in favor of Monsanto , dealing a massive legal victory to the agrochemical giant by heavily restricting the ability of cancer patients to sue over the weedkiller Roundup.

The landmark decision establishes that federal regulation overrides state law, with Justice Brett Kavanaugh writing for the majority that because the EPA evaluated glyphosate and explicitly determined it does not require a cancer warning, state-level "failure to warn" lawsuits are legally preempted.

The ruling severely handicaps a wave of roughly 200,000 product liability claims, shutting the door on tens of thousands of pending lawsuits filed by home users and groundskeepers who allege they developed non-Hodgkin lymphoma from the product.

The case centered on Missouri resident John Durnell, who was awarded $1.25 million by a state jury in 2023 after using Roundup for over two decades to beautify local parks; Thursday’s high court decision effectively invalidates those state court findings.
