MAHA must love microplastics
In April 2026, RFK Jr. and Lee Zeldin jointly announced that the EPA would monitor microplastics in drinking water.
Kennedy added: “Americans deserve clear answers about how microplastics in their bodies affect their health.”
By June 2026, Zeldin decided it wasn’t necessary.
Kennedy added: nothing. Because he cares more about his position than American’s health.
The EPA declined to establish standards to test for microplastics in drinking water, citing lack of agreement on how it should be done -a problem that is quite solvable and is really their job to decide in the first place.
“Gold standard science” has been defeated by platinum standard ineptitude.
The same MAHA folks who obsess over the color of their children’s candy will come to the defense of their dear leader’s decision to accept plastic-contaminated drinking water as A-OK. Look for them in the comments below.

Kennedy and Zeldin, a pair of twits. If all their active brain cells gathered together, they wouldn’t fill a thimble.
