All those concerned about the corporate capture of our federal government should see 'Into the Weeds' to understand how harmful our regulatory system is.

I have been fighting big polluters and the corrupt 'agency capture' that has prevented effective government action on environmental threats for my entire career. In effect, that agency capture has made the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency a partner in crime with the corporations that poison our environment and endanger our health.

During the 2018 Farm Bill deliberations, similar efforts by the pesticide industry to limit state control were narrowly rejected in the House-Senate Farm Bill conference committee. So this year, there is an effort to slip in HR 4288 as an amendment to the overall Farm Bill appropriations, subject to an up-or-down vote on the House floor.
