Many right-wing and MAHA media figures have expressed shock and disappointment at the Trump administration’s embrace of glyphosate — the active ingredient in the weed-killer Roundup — but some have defended his characterization of the herbicide as essential to national security and the country's food system.    During the 2024 campaign cycle, the MAHA coalition became a key component of President Donald Trump’s base. Many promises were made to win over Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s MAHA supporters on the campaign trail, including Trump’s claim that “we’re going to get toxic chemicals out of our environment, and we're going to get them out of our food supply.”

But the Trump administration’s relationship with the agrochemical industry and its multipronged effort to protect industry giant Bayer have angered and mobilized key MAHA figures. Trump issued an executive order in February declaring glyphosate critical to national security, and in March the administration filed an amicus brief urging the Supreme Court to rule in favor of Roundup developer Monsanto in the much-anticipated case Monsanto vs. Durnell. Some of the MAHA figures have organized a rally for April 27, when the Supreme Court is set to hear the case. If the court rules in favor of Bayer (which acquired Monsanto in 2018), it could potentially protect the chemical industry by allowing companies to “escape liability simply because the EPA approved their labels at some point in the past, even if the company concealed how harmful their pesticides were to people.”

Charlene Bollinger is a fringe commentator whose account endorsed threads praising Adolf Hitler and pushing claims about a “Jew World Order.” She recently said that she’s “part of” and “working with” former President Donald Trump’s transition team to help close friend Robert F. Kennedy Jr. 

During a November 1 interview on One America News’ Real America with Dan Ball, Bollinger said: “The transition team right now is being put together behind the scenes. I am working with a number of people to put together something beautiful so that Bobby Kennedy can roll out his vision and we get to be a part of this.”  Ball replied: “That's awesome. I didn't know that. So you're going to help with the transition and getting people in place to help Bobby clean up these agencies.” Bollinger also said she's “working with the [Trump] transition team” in a November 1 video.  She stated: “We have been supporting Donald Trump since he came down that escalator. We've been friends for Bobby even longer, and we've been working with both of these amazing men. And here we are now working with the transition team to be able to get what we do out in a bigger way, the solutions that we have been able to give millions.” Bollinger added: “If you want Bobby Kennedy to help you, you’ve got to vote for Donald Trump because we're working with that team and we're going to bring the real solutions in a bigger way. We're so excited.”

The Bollingers repeatedly endorsed antisemitism, including a thread about a “Jew World Order” 

The Bollingers post on social media through a shared account (“TTAVOfficial”). On that account, the Bollingers have repeatedly promoted antisemitism.  On August 4, the Bollingers encouraged their followers to “read” an “entire thread” by the pro-Hitler account “Truth Troll” pushing a sprawling antisemitic conspiracy theory (the “Khazarian Mafia”) that claims that many modern-day Jewish people are frauds who have hidden behind Jewish identity to oppress the world.  The thread promoted by the Bollingers further claimed that there is a “J E W WORLD ORDER in place” and specifically criticized officials for being Jewish.

Cassandra Callender, the teen who refused chemotherapy, has relapsed

I hate these stories, because they so seldom end well. Unfortunately, this one is more messy than even the usual messiness of the typical story of this type. The type of story I’m referring to, of course, is one that I’ve told from time to time ever since near the first year of this blog’s existence, that of the child or teen with cancer who, for whatever reason, refuses curative chemotherapy in…
