MAHA Advocates Urge Trump To Block Immunity For Pesticide And Chemical Manufacturers
Authored by Jeff Louderbeck via The Epoch Times,
As anticipation builds about the upcoming Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) Commission Report's release, 241 MAHA advocates sent a letter to President Donald Trump urging him to prevent the House of Representatives from limiting regulation for pesticides and “forever chemicals” in its environmental appropriations bill.
“We ask you to take action to make sure any protections for pesticides are stricken from this Appropriations bill,” the letter says, or risk losing Republican backing.
The letter also expressed opposition to liability shields for pesticide companies.
Every year, more than 1.1 billion pounds of pesticides are used on U.S. farmland, including dozens of chemicals banned in other developed nations, the letter states.
“These toxic substances are present in our food, air, soil, and water, and are increasingly in our children's bodies, negati...

ROUNDUP: Lanxess senkt Gewinnausblick - Sparkurs wird verschärft (DPA-AFX)
|
|
Mit LANXESS muss ein weiterer Chemiekonzern in einem von der erratischen US-Zollpolitik belasteten Umfeld kleinere Brötchen backen als zunächst geplant. "Aktuell ist keine Verbesserung der wirtschaftlichen Lage in Sicht", sagte Unternehmenschef Matthias Zachert am Donnerstag im Zuge der Veröffentlichung der Resultate des zweiten Quartals. Er senkte daher den Gewinnausblick für das Gesamtjahr. An der Börse kam das schlecht an.

Tianqi Lithium jumped as much as 19% in Hong Kong, while Ganfeng Lithium Group surged 21%, and Australian miners rallied... --- The "anti-involution” theme has gripped China’s financial markets in recent months, with investors trying to pinpoint industries and companies that might benefit from Beijing-led efforts to tackle deflation and overcapacity. It’s encompassed sectors from e-commerce to EVs and steelmaking.. --- "CATL’s situation does not change the oversupply structure in the market,” said Zhang Weixin, an analyst at China Futures Co.

AI Can Be Used To Develop Biological And Chemical Weapons
Authored by David Gangemi via RealClearDefense,
The greatest threat to America may be something we cannot see.
Biological and chemical weapons can spread debilitating fear and wreak havoc on populations. Unfortunately, the threat of these kinds of attacks on American soil is only rising, empowered by the unique capabilities of artificial intelligence. To prevent catastrophe, we must use AI to counter the danger that this advanced technology can unleash.
We are only one misstep away from catastrophe. The most recent close call came last month when two Chinese nationals, who received funding from their communist government to work on a noxious fungus, were caught smuggling the pathogen into the United States. The FBI arrested them just in time, as this was no ordinary fungus—instead, it was what scientists call an “agroterrorism weapon” that would have decimated America's grain farms, sickened the U.S. population, and disrupted o...
