WILD (& devious). When it comes to hormone disruptors, frequency of exposure matters & generally anything scented is worse than not. But “unscented” is a scent (!) designed to mask other scents. “Fragrance free” is what you want. Dr Natalie Crawford on Huberman Lab podcast.

@hubermanlab Watch the documentary “Stink!” free if you’re interested in the fragrance loophole: youtube.com/watch?v=lk6elw…

The fact that soaps and sprays and cosmetics labeled “unscented“ have the same endocrine disruptors that scented versions of those products have, is surprising. Until you learned that unscented is a scent! Fragrance free is what you want.

@hubermanlab Always cracks me up when something is marketed as having a ‘clean’ scent. Newsflash: clean doesn’t have a scent — that’s the whole idea. Worth watching Stink! for the deeper dive.

@calleymeans @yoalexrapz Curious how @epaleezeldin big environmental moment is #microplastics — the one pollutant with no specific company to regulate, no lobbying check to return, no donor to upset. Meanwhile actual point-source polluters got rollbacks.

This week, the Trump admin took the strongest action in history against microplastics, ensured pastries will be replaced with eggs in school breakfasts, ensured hospitals serve healthier food, and pressured Reese’s Cups to go back to using real chocolate instead of chemicals. Don’t let the media gaslight you about MAHA.

Curious how Zeldin's big environmental moment is #microplastics — the one pollutant with no specific company to regulate, no lobbying check to return, no donor to upset. Meanwhile actual point-source polluters got rollbacks. Microplastics is the perfect fake stance: sounds brave, costs nothing. Faux #Maha

🚨Just announced with @SecKennedy: The Trump EPA is including microplastics and pharmaceuticals as priority contaminants on the agency’s Contaminant Candidate List. We have heard from millions of Americans who are concerned about plastics and pharmaceuticals in drinking water and we are taking action.   Our proposal, now open for public comment, also includes PFAS, disinfection byproducts, 75 individual chemicals, and 9 microbes that may be present in public drinking water systems. We will follow the science, pursue answers, and hold ourselves to the highest standards to protect the health of Americans. epa.gov/newsreleases/e…

Respectfully, the so-called “gold standard” of science becomes a hollow slogan when corporate convenience trumps human health and environmental integrity. 
The EPA (not USDA) holds approval authority over glyphosate, yet Administrator @epaleezeldin focuses on bragging about deregulation that weakens safeguards for public health and the environment. This good cop/bad cop routine is no help to Americans’ well-being.

I will always tell the American people the truth. Pesticides and herbicides are toxic by design, engineered to kill living organisms. When we apply them across millions of acres and allow them into our food system, we put Americans at risk. Chemical manufacturers have paid tens of billions of dollars to settle cancer claims linked to their products, and many agricultural communities report elevated cancer rates and chronic disease. Unfortunately, our agricultural system depends heavily on these chemicals. The U.S. represents 4% of the world’s population, yet we use roughly 25% of its pesticides. If these inputs disappeared overnight, crop yields would fall, food prices would surge, and America would experience a massive loss of farms even beyond what we are witnessing today. The consequences would be disastrous. I support President Trump’s Executive Order to bring agricultural chemical production back to the United States and end our near-total reliance on adversarial nations. His EO protects two pillars of national strength: our defense readiness and our food supply. When hostile actors control critical inputs, they directly threaten the security of the American people. The Trump administration will secure these supply chains to eliminate that vulnerability. President Trump did not build our current system — he inherited it. For decades, Washington designed modern agriculture. Policymakers wrote farm policy, directed research dollars, structured subsidies and crop insurance, and shaped commodity markets to reward monocultures and maximum yield. Those deliberate choices locked farmers into chemical dependence and prioritized short-term output over long-term soil vitality and human health. We are now changing course — without destabilizing the food supply. Alongside @USDA @SecRollins, we are accelerating the transition to regenerative agriculture by expanding farming systems that rebuild soil, increase biodiversity, improve water retention, and reduce reliance on synthetic chemicals, including pre-harvest desiccation. We are also driving the rapid adoption of next-generation technologies, including laser-guided weed control, electrothermal and electrical systems, robotics, precision mechanical cultivation, and biological controls that replace blanket spraying with precision intervention. These solutions are not theoretical. Farmers are already putting them to work. Markets are scaling them. Now the federal government will act with urgency to expand their reach and accelerate adoption nationwide. I have met with hundreds of farmers and agricultural leaders across the country. They understand the pressures firsthand. Chemical inputs cut into margins. Chemical-resistant pests are spreading. Soil health is declining. Foreign markets are shutting out American produce. Farmers want workable alternatives, and they want policies that support transition without threatening their livelihoods. At HHS, I am leading a coordinated effort grounded in gold standard science. I am working with Secretary Rollins and @EPALeeZeldin to expedite a better future where a thriving agricultural system is less dependent on harmful chemicals. We are sharing data, coordinating strategy, and supporting farmers through a practical transition. The Make America Healthy Again agenda forces us to challenge long-standing assumptions about how we grow food, structure markets, and measure success in this country. Reform at this scale will test entrenched interests, and it will not move in a straight line. President Trump has opened the door to this debate and backed meaningful change — not only in policy, but in the national conversation about health and agriculture. American farmers stand at the center of this movement. They deserve policies rooted in rigorous science and economic reality. Our children deserve a food system that protects and strengthens their health. With President Trump’s leadership, we are securing critical supply chains, confronting the health risks embedded in our current system, and deploying every available tool to build a stronger, safer, more resilient American food supply.

This is what the country needs more than ever! Politicians working together to save our children and the next generation. Thank you @chelliepingree for standing up to the Chemical giants. #MAHA #FoodBabeArmy

Proud to co-lead this effort with @RepThomasMassie. The Trump Admin. cannot keep paying lip service to #MAHA while propping up Big Chemical like this and choosing corporate profits over Americans’ health. ENOUGH.

It’s egregious enough to say glyphosate manufacturers should get immunity. But then to chalk it up as a great thing for “national defense” is so completely misguided it seems like a joke? Because these are the chemicals that are LITERALLY feminizing our boys and mutilating their genitals Not to mention contributing to skyrocketing rates of chronic disease and infertility

@amtoxicology And if you submit a FOIA request for the White House’s and relevant agencies’ interactions with industry trade associations, expect extensive redactions.

Also a middle finger to public health - glyphosate is a carcinogen

You need to know these names. The four highest-ranking officials running the EPA’s Office of Chemical Safety and Pollution Prevention all came straight from Big Chem lobbying world: • Doug Troutman-now OCSPP Assistant Administrator. Former American Cleaning Institute • Nancy Beck-Principal Deputy. Former American Chemistry Council • Lynn Dekleva-Deputy. Former American Chemistry Council • Kyle Kunkler-Deputy. Former American Soybean Association lobbyist The people regulating chemicals? They used to represent the chemical industry. Read that again.

@yoalexrapz 100%

@KatieMiller Yep

Solar is now the dominant source of new U.S. power capacity and is on track to surpass coal in total installed capacity before the end of 2026. 70 GW of new solar capacity is scheduled to come online in 2026–2027 → a 49% increase in operating solar capacity from the end of 2025.

@epaleezeldin Lee, you're an errand boy, sent by grocery clerks, to collect a bill.

This week, we make history.    Getting ready to join President Trump to announce the single largest act of deregulation in the history of the USA. wsj.com/politics/polic…

We’ve reached a turning point regarding @epaleezeldin’s credibility. His current MAHA cosplay is a transparent attempt to mask his chemical industry favors. When you look at his actual record, it’s undeniable: he is firmly in the pocket of the chemical industry, regardless of the 'healthy' persona he’s currently trying to adopt.

There is something really freaking spooky going on at the EPA and I refuse to let the American people be gaslit into thinking they’re upholding the MAHA agenda in any way when they CONTINUOUSLY prove they are not. Very WEIRD we have MAHA leaders pretending otherwise. Who is being paid and by who?

@yesmaam74 The time for giving @epaleezeldin the benefit of the doubt has passed. Despite his cringey MAHA cosplay, his record speaks for itself: he is clearly aligned with the chemical industry over the public health.
