The U.S. Supreme Court heard arguments Monday in a case that could determine whether thousands of cancer patients can keep suing the manufacturers of the popular weed killer glyphosate, known as Roundup. Critics of Roundup have long alleged a link between the herbicide and cancer. It was developed by Monsanto, which was bought by Bayer in 2018.
Mother Jones and the Center for Investigative Reporting recently released a major investigation by Nate Halverson that looks at how the U.S. Forest Service has been rapidly expanding its use of Roundup despite concerns about its safety. "The majority of glyphosate is still used in agriculture, but … we were able to show that the fastest-growing use is actually now for forestry," says Halverson.
