Irreverent Hot Take
DRINK THE ROUNDUP, LEE STICKER
On Monday, April 27, 2026, Rosa DeLauro shot up Google Trends because a House Appropriations hearing on Lee Zeldin’s EPA budget turned from normal budget combat into a full-blown climate-law cage match. docs.house.gov DeLauro blasted Trump’s EPA plan as a “climate change denier’s manifesto,” while Zeldin fired back with Loper Bright and West Virginia v. EPA, basically trying to win a funding hearing by cold-reading Supreme Court case law at her. news.bloomberglaw.com Then the moment went thermonuclear when Zeldin said people should not drink or inject glyphosate and DeLauro snapped, “Maybe you should try doing that,” before immediately softening it with an “Excuse me.” news.bloomberglaw.com It blew up even harder after Zeldin posted a triumphal clip calling her uninformed and the official White House account piled on with, “Terrible take. Even worse hair,” dragging DeLauro’s signature purple hair straight into the meme bloodstream. thedailybeast.com People care because underneath the circus is a real fight over Trump’s push to slash EPA funding by about 52%, gut climate and environmental programs, and defend a much narrower view of what the agency can legally do. news.bloomberglaw.com
Turn the weed-killer taunt and the hair insult into one toxic-glam congressional kill shot.
