Hey, did y’all know that Emperor Pedophile on Wednesday signed an order “Promoting the National Defense By Ensuring an Adequate Supply of Elemental Phosphorus and Glyphosate-based Herbicides.”

#Glyphosate is the active ingredient in the herbicide #Roundup. In 2019, a meta-analysis by the University of Washington found that increased exposure to glyphosate boosts the risk of Hodgkin’s lymphoma, a cancer that affects the lymphatic system, by up to 41 percent. That link has also been alleged in tens of thousands of lawsuits. Just the day before the order, #Bayer — the owner of #Monsanto, which makes Roundup — agreed to pay $7.25 billion to settle thousands of these lawsuits. The pharma giant has paid out $14 billion for the damages caused by glyphosate.

The timing of Trump’s order is convenient. The Defense Production Act allows companies to be protected from liability lawsuits.

> Germany-based Bayer, which acquired Roundup maker #Monsanto in 2018, disputes the assertion that Roundup's key ingredient, glyphosate, can cause non-Hodgkin lymphoma. But the company has warned that mounting legal costs are threatening its ability to continue selling the product in U.S. agricultural markets.
