'Watch out for angry moms': MAHA leaders threaten Trump over cancer betrayal

The Make America Healthy Again movement that helped sweep Donald Trump back into the White House is fracturing over his betrayal on pesticides — and MAHA activists are now threatening to stay away from Republicans in the upcoming midterm elections.

According to a report from MS NOW's Arielle Hixson, the Trump administration's decision to back Monsanto in the Supreme Court's Roundup pesticide liability case is turning into a pivot point for the administration. The company is fighting to shield itself from state lawsuits claiming the herbicide should have carried cancer warnings. By supporting Monsanto's legal team, Trump signaled whose side he's on—and it's not the health-conscious base that carried him to victory.

Earlier this year, Trump signed an executive order prioritizing glyphosate production, framing it as protecting the nation's food supply. MAHA activists recognized it for what it was: "a giveaway to the chemical industry and a reversal of the campaign trail promises that had drawn the movement to him," according to Hixson.

Kelly Ryerson, the prominent MAHA activist known as the "Glyphosate Girl," made clear the movement's anger, telling MS NOW, "I was floored that this administration of all administrations would just go to bat to take away our rights to sue. It's like a direct stab at our freedoms and freedom for recourse and freedom to health."

More significantly, Ryerson warned of electoral consequences. When asked if angry MAHA supporters would vote Democratic, she bluntly told Hixson "If we lose our ability to sue pesticide manufacturers, I wouldn't say people are going to go and vote for Democrats. They're not going to vote; they're going to be done with voting."

That threat of voter disengagement represents a catastrophic risk to Trump heading into 2026. MS NOW is reporting a Kaiser Family Foundation poll found 41% of American adults support MAHA — voters who skew Republican but whose loyalties are now visibly shaken.

Alexandra Muñoz, a toxicologist working with the MAHA movement, warned that a Monsanto victory would "strip accountability from a category of chemicals that includes known carcinogens and could clear the way for more hazardous pesticides to reach the market," according to the report.

Hannah Dunning, the "Clean Clothing Chick," articulated the movement's ultimatum, telling MS NOW, "If they want to be disrespectful to the point where they're going to side with Big Chemical in the Supreme Court, watch out for angry moms, because we're here; we're ready."
