In the remake Zeldin is no longer a hapless industry lackey running Trump’s pro-pollution EPA — he’s Lee Zeldin, science advocate and MAHA champion! And now we’re gearing up for the next round of MAHA-washing, as the EPA is widely expected to reapprove the dangerous pesticide dicamba in the coming days. Unlike paraquat, dicamba won’t make you drop dead if you accidentally ingest it. Dicamba just doesn’t stay put; it can drift in the air for miles after it’s applied, damaging farms, orchards, and backyard gardens. But a realist knows there’s likely only one explanation for the delay — Zeldin’s EPA is wrestling with how to message the eventual reapproval.
