EPA Says MAHA Agenda Is Ongoing, Not a Single Report
The agency says MAHA work is expanding as activists cite reversals on microplastics, pesticides and other health priorities.
- The Environmental Protection Agency stated on Friday that the Make America Healthy Again agenda is an ongoing effort, not a single report, shifting from prior assurances the document was in final stages.
- Last December, EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin pledged to release a formal agenda of MAHA priorities following activist pressure, yet eight months later the promised document remains undrafted.
- Former EPA official Betsy Southerland called recent policy reversals a 'classic Zeldin bait-and-switch' that rendered promises 'functionally toothless,' while activist Kelly Ryerson said the absence 'reads as a tactic to escape accountability.'
- The agency defended its record by citing $945 million in grants to help communities reduce 'forever chemicals' known as PFAS and identifying 30 drinking water contaminants for nationwide monitoring.
- With the MAHA coalition planning to vote on issues over party in November's congressional elections, the reversal represents a 'cascade of disappointments' for Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s movement.
