Screenshot of the official website of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) at the URL [www.usda.gov](http://www.usda.gov). The top of the page includes standard elements of a U.S. government website: an American flag icon and the label β€œAn official website of the United States government,” with a link next to it that reads β€œHere’s how you know.” The USDA logo appears prominently, along with the site’s main navigation menu that includes tabs labeled: Home, Food, Farming and Ranching, Forestry, Sustainability, Trade and Markets, About, and a Search icon. To the far right, there are links for News, Blog, and Employee Resources.

Below the navigation menu is a large reddish-brown notice box with a white exclamation mark icon inside a circle, followed by the text:

β€œDue to the Radical Left Democrat shutdown, this government website will not be updated during the funding lapse. President Trump has made it clear he wants to keep the government open and support those who feed, fuel, and clothe the American people.”

Republicans control the Presidency and hold majorities in both the Senate and the House of Representatives. They own their inability and unwillingness to govern.

I've had a similar issue once - actually still dealing with it - I am currently assuming that it's just the high expression of the protein that makes it toxic purely by being a metabolic burden.

Ironically, the luxury of refusing such preventative measures has only been granted through breakthroughs in modern medicine.

I recon the issue was that 20+ other people didn't have guns, otherwise they could have defended themselves.

The only thing missing is the recommendation to turn the captured CO2 into biofuel, using energy derived from fossil fuel and then calling it carbon sequestration <- to avoid misunderstanding: that is NOT possible, given the current laws of nature of our universe.
