When I caught the head of the EPA red handed for colluding with Bayer, it helped blow up Bayer’s liability shield in the Farm Bill. This is what accountability looks like when we come prepared.13 May 2026 19:29 +0000at://did:plc:ic7n7z2yrxtl4ejl5dfjchmm/app.bsky.feed.post/3mlqzz5gdzs25https://bsky.app/profile/ocasio-cortez.house.gov/post/3mkzwremzbk2vIt is time we bring down the cost of housing, healthcare, and child care.
