The Make America Healthy Again faction of the Republican Party got its first major policy win in Congress on Thursday. MAHA successfully stripped a provision from the farm bill that would have blocked states and courts from penalizing pesticide companies that do not include health concerns on their labels beyond those recognized by the Environmental Protection Agency. Critics said the provision was a giveaway to pesticide companies and would have prevented lawsuits over certain cancers and other diseases caused by the products.

Excerpt limited to ~120 words for fair-use compliance. The full article is at Washington Examiner.
