The EPA is starting to allow the use of pesticides containing PFAS on food.
The move is part of an effort to roll back the regulation of what are called "forever chemicals" because they don't break down easily in the environment.

Imagine for a minute if Mark Kelly had said the opposite statement: That a soldier must follow illegal orders, and that their oath to defend the Constitution does not matter, only their orders matter.
What would the reaction be?

Rip out that carpet and modernize the kitchen, and garage space for old cars and a workshop.

The $190k house is very nice, and the bright exterior is charming. At that price I think I could afford pros to remove wallpaper.....
This mid century house is a bit pricier but it has a view of cornfields. Aqua counters might make small town life worthwhile...

Much like everyone else in Arizona, this person wants a 300% ROI 🙄
Pretty sure I’ve seen this house through local news.
Very clear no one is paying this guy $20M when it sold for $4.9M in 2017. #arizona #zillow

Like, I'm good friends with the sellers (who moved to Taos, NM) and I've house sat for them many times and can't describe how unique this place is. It's in the middle of the city but feels like it's in the country! Wood burning stove! Chicken coop! It's a total gem.
