EPA Says MAHA Agenda Is Ongoing, Not a Single Report
The agency said work on MAHA priorities is expanding, while activists say promised health protections have not materialized.
- The Environmental Protection Agency stated this week that the Make America Healthy Again agenda is an ongoing effort, not a single report, shifting from previous assurances the formal document was in its final stages.
- Last December, EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin pledged to release a formal agenda of MAHA priorities after activists petitioned to remove him; eight months later, the promised report 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 silence 'reads as a tactic to escape accountability.'
- Agency officials defended their progress by citing $945 million in grants to help communities cut 'forever chemicals' known as PFAS and identifying 30 drinking water contaminants for nationwide monitoring.
- Escalating tensions with the administration, MAHA activists plan to vote on issues over party in November's congressional elections, marking what Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s movement calls a 'cascade of disappointments.
