WASHINGTON, Aug 12 (Reuters) – President Donald Trump should block the U.S. House from limiting the regulation of pesticides and “forever chemicals” in its environmental appropriations bill or risk losing Republican support, more than 200 activists aligned with the “Make America Healthy Again” movement said in a letter to Trump.

The rest is behind a paywall.
P.S. The Senate Appropriations bill did not include the pesticide liability waiver. So while it is still in play, at least there is not a universal effort to pass it.

And they don’t like being lied to by elected officials.
