It's not going to be right, but eventually a weird phylogeny is going to place pterosaurs in a polytomy with the major dinosaur groups and someone's gonna say pterosauria is within dinosauria and it's gonna be funny

When Republicans say โderegulationโ they mean things like โadding poisons to your food because itโs more profitable for the companies giving them campaign donations.โ
The EPA has approved two new pesticides with "forever chemicals" that will be used on food. The agency has also announced plans for four additional approvals. The approved pesticides will be used on vegetables such as romaine lettuce, broccoli and potatoes.

Absurd. If they recall Sen. Kelly it will be a gross abuse of power. He merely stated the law. Soldiers are not required to follow manifestly unlawful orders. It is a not a violation of the law to state the law.

Dangerous disgusting comments. @RepJasonCrow, @RepHoulahan, @RepGoodlander, @repdeluzio, @SenatorSlotkin and @SenMarkKelly are entirely right: troops can and must refuse illegal orders. Expecting outrage from Republicans who were so recently worked up about political violence.
Trump is calling for the six Democratic lawmakers who urged the military not to follow any illegal orders to be arrested, and heโs reposting replies saying they should be hanged and calling them terrorists.

Germ theory denial brought to you by these doctors and all who enabled them.
For years Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has been pushing the notion that germ theory is overrated. Now other HHS officials are picking up that argument. @katherinejwu reports:
