Probably the only "good news" Monsanto has seen in a long time (and it's still baaad news for us...)
GMO Free USA
Not-Good News: USDA Deregulates New Monsanto GMO Corn. Poison-maker, Monsanto, doesn't think poisoning our food and environment with carcinogenic glyphosate is enough. So they genetically engineered corn that tolerates the unlimited spraying of both dicamba and glufosinate herbicides. The USDA just deregulated it, which means chemical-addicted GMO farmers are free to plant and spray away without abandon. So we can expect the same pesticide gusher that was glyphosate to happen with both dicamba and glufosinate. In our food. In our water. In our air. And they still have the gall to claim that GMOs decrease toxic pesticide use, when all the evidence is against that claim. BOYCOTT GMOs.

Maryland just made history by becoming the first state in the country to ban bee-killing neonicotinoid pesticides in an effort to save the pollinators.

Waterboarding will not resume –> “CIA Director John Brennan told NBC News in an exclusive interview that his agency will not engage in harsh “enhanced interrogation” practices, including waterboarding, which critics call torture — even if ordered to by a future president. ‘I will not agree to carry out some of these tactics and techniques I’ve heard bandied about because this institution needs to endure,’ Brennan said.”

For decades, the US Bureau of Reclamation exported dam technology to the rest of the world, setting off a dam construction frenzy that has yet to abate.
But now the US is removing dams at an accelerating pace, as it recognizes the harm they've done and their dangers as they age. Is it time for the rest of the world to learn from the US's change of heart?
Last week, two American governors and the US Interior Secretary signed an agreement to remove four dams from the Klamath River. Why should the rest of the world care?
