It turns out that when an embryo finds itself in an inhospitable environment, it can... go dormant.

In many species this is not reversible, the embryos die. But in 130 species of mammals, embryos can reverse and start developing again

The proponents of the BBB want to distract the American people away from the biggest details of their proposal.

Those details will result in hospital and skilled nursing facilities closures nationwide, impacting nearly 70 million ppl.

We shine a light on what they want to hide in plain sight.

Hi from a south of the border friend. ❤️A friend in need is a friend in deed. Canadians rushed to our aid in the California wildfires. Long, long ago Boston came to the aid of Halifax in the great Halifax explosion. "What one man has torn asunder,another man may mend."🇺🇸🇨🇦 #ElbowsUp #goodtrouble
