The Supreme Court announced Friday it will hear Monsanto’s claim that it should be shielded from tens of thousands of lawsuits over its weed killer Roundup because the Environmental Protection Agency has not required a warning label that it may cause cancer. The legal dispute involves whether the federal regulatory laws shield the company from being sued under state law for failing to warn consumers. In 2023, a jury rejected his claim the product was defective but it ruled for him on his “strict liability failure to warn claim,” a state court concluded. Monsanto appealed, arguing this state law verdict is in conflict with federal law regulating pesticides. “Yet this happens, and when it does, state court lawsuits provide the only real path to accountability.”

Not everyone is for gun regulation,” one person involved in the Trump administration discussions that followed the Blanche memo told CNN. Democrats and left-leaning gun control groups also decried the plan as an attempt to sideline ATF and harm efforts to reduce gun violence. “We’ve been operating as if that’s off the table for months now,” one law enforcement official told CNN.

Why It MattersTrump's approval ratings have taken a significant hit since his return to the White House almost exactly one year ago, marking a substantial shift from the early days of his second term.
