Scientists discover “cleaner ants” that groom giant ants in Arizona desert sciencedaily.com · Smithsonian In the Arizona desert, scientists have uncovered a bizarre and almost unbelievable partnership between ants: tiny cone ants acting as “cleaners” for much larger harvester ants. Instead of attacking, the smaller ants crawl over the giants, licking and nibbling their bodies—even venturing between their open jaws—while the larger ants calmly allow it.

Someone needs to go to prison.
Where’s the #Arizona governor?
Where’s the state police?
Where’s the local sheriff?

Gallego isn't great. He seems to always want to have it both ways.

Kelly is fabulous. In my opinion, he is Presidential material, and I hope he runs and wins in 2028.
