Is MAHA being invaded? X users noticed a strange pattern of MAGA influencer accounts posting near-identical oppositions to the removal of sugary soda drinks from the SNAP program. Journalist Nick Sortor alleges the campaign was funded by Big Soda organizations in an attempt to subvert the MAHA movement via a secretive agency called Influenceable. Though it was likely a legitimate sponsorship, the posts did not include FTC disclosures and misleadingly excluded any indications that they were paid promotions.

“I strongly lean libertarian and don’t care what choices people make – UNLESS they impact others,” writes attorney Tom Renz. “We pay for SNAP and if you are on SNAP you may well also be on Medicaid. I don’t want to pay for unhealthy food and then have to turn around and pay for your healthcare because you ate it.”
