'MAHA Moms'

I'm mildly annoyed that every part of MAGA Extended Universe gets treated as a crucial voting constituency, instead of a mostly marginal internet subculture with an elevated sense of their own righteousness and importance. Still, there is value in pointing out that even within his own expressed crackpot framework, RFK JR. is hardly "MAHA."
But the Trump administration has since ordered more domestic production of the chemical, backed away from suggestions it may be harmful, and thrown its support behind Bayer by arguing that it is up to the Environmental Protection Agency, not the courts, to decide the safety and risks of agricultural chemicals.

The positions on glyphosate have sparked tension between traditional conservatives and the MAHA voters who argue they provided pivotal votes to secure Trump’s 2024 win.

If you guys did provide the pivotal votes, I hope you're proud of yourselves.
