In the Midwest, politicians, particularly those from the Right, have been scheming away the past few years, changing laws, re-zoning districts and otherwise making it a place where they can easily take control. It's not as red here as many people might believe, and it's frustrating for someone like me, who lives in a once-blue district, to see it go red over and over again after it's been re-zoned. My representative? She works for me, in my county, and one almost an hour away in another.

The committee discussed this directive with many researchers in the fusion community. The committee issued their report last December which received broad-based support.
It seems like we are always learning about weird new things when it comes to our cats and their poop. Cats are super particular about their poop in the first place--I've heard about cats who have to be watched while they go, even! But did you know that a parasite found in cat poop might increase our risk for brain cancer?
