Crap on the #Bills defense, but when it boils down to it, all the warts of the offense are still there. No ability to stretch the field or provide any sort of release valve for Allen. The Texans have zero fear of a deep pass

they want to stamp out the entire profession of public health for a generation. same day they announce they’re closing the CDC museum
🚨Dept. of Education proposes to exclude public health degrees from the “professional degree” category.
That means new public health experts could lose access to key higher ed resources, like loan limits & reimbursement.
A bold strategy to let infectious diseases win! 🦠

This is exactly why the #Bills are not going to take Bass off IR unless they need to. They’ve got a guy kicking well, no guarantee Bass will do a better job, so leave him on IR and it’s like having a set backup. If Prader is dropped there is a zero chance they could stash him
The Giants placed kicker Graham Gano on injured reserve.

At least we put real sugar back in Coke, changed some food dyes, & demonized vaccines. Y'know, the real work to Make America Healthy Again!
During his campaign, Trump (& RFK) promised to rein in the use of dangerous pesticides, but the EPA has loosened oversight and is accelerating pesticide approvals.
Notably, the top 4 positions in the new Trump EPA’s chemical safety office are held by former pesticide and chemical industry lobbyists

Trump officials set to approve ‘forever chemical’ as pesticide ingredient
Critics say that fifth Pfas Trump’s EPA has proposed for approval this year would put food and water supply at risk

As part of for the course, we had a hard frost last night in MN and the catalpa tree decided to drop its leaves. All at once. In the driveway. #fall

Why can’t all Democrats answer these questions like this? You’ve got all the darn resources in the world to help you communicate effectively.
How to answer a loaded question.

Never thought I’d say this, but we could really use a hard frost in #MN to kill back all these plants. With leaves still greenish, I’m reluctant to cut back my garden too much. Plus carrots convert starch to sugar after the first freeze, so I’m waiting for that before harvest
