- Tony Lyons wrote a February memo to GOP leaders urging them to adopt popular MAHA policies such as banning soda from SNAP benefits and removing artificial food dyes, while treating anti‑vaccine issues with nuance.
- MAHA PAC plans to back up to 20 Republican candidates in the midterms and has already contributed $1 million to Louisiana congresswoman Julia Letlow’s primary campaign against Senator Bill Cassidy.
- Donald Trump signed an executive order shielding glyphosate manufacturers from liability, a move that angered MAHA activists who want the weed killer banned.
- Skyhorse Publishing, founded by Lyons, now runs a MAHA imprint and has released dozens of Kennedy‑aligned titles, including Thimerosal: Let The Science Speak and The Real Anthony Fauci.
- Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is set to receive $2‑$4 million in advances from Skyhorse for three forthcoming books, one of which Lyons says will allege a CDC cover‑up of vaccine harms.
- MAHA Action Media Hub, the weekly livestream hosted by Lyons, regularly features guests such as Rand Paul, Russell Brand, and Robert Malone, who promote the MAHA agenda despite ongoing legal challenges to vaccine‑schedule changes.
Why it matters: Lyons’s push delivers a wave of MAHA‑aligned Republicans to Congress, giving the movement sway over health policy, while corporate backlash, a federal judge’s injunction on vaccine‑schedule changes, and disaffected activists have warned they will abandon the coalition if priorities are ignored, curbing its influence and limiting the agenda’s ability to shape national health standards.
