"On New Year's Eve, Lee Zeldin did something out of character for an Environmental Protection Agency leader who has been hacking away at regulations intended to protect Americans' air and water.He announced new restrictions on five chemicals commonly used in building materials, plastic products and adhesives, and he cheered it as a "MAHA win."It was one of many signs of a fragile collaboration that's been building"
"The unlikely pairing grew out of the coalition's success influencing public health policy with the help of its biggest champion, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. As health secretary, he has pared back vaccine recommendations and shifted the government's position on topics like seed oils, fluoride and Tylenol.Building on that momentum, the movement now sees a glimmer of hope in the EPA's promise to release a "MAHA agenda" in the coming months."
Lee Zeldin, an Environmental Protection Agency leader, announced new restrictions on five chemicals commonly used in building materials, plastic products and adhesives and celebrated the move as a "MAHA win." The shift reflects a fragile collaboration between a traditionally pro-business Republican administration and the Make America Healthy Again movement, which cites corporate environmental harms as threats to health. The movement, energized by Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s influence as health secretary, has changed federal positions on vaccines, seed oils, fluoride and Tylenol. The EPA plans to release a "MAHA agenda," and activists warn that disappointing the movement could cost political support ahead of midterm elections.
