Looks like common burdock to me, a nasty with a taproot that'll make the
dandelion it's snuggled up with look tame.

if you have dogs or cats that are outside, this one in seed is a pet coat
nightmare. Don't let it flower or go to seed. This is one I freely paint
with an herbicide, but you may have different priorities RE chemicals.

I spotted this broadleaf weed in the side garden the other day. I don't
think I've ever seen it in the yard before. Can anyone identify it? I'm
talking about the big fuzzy heart-shaped leaves near the center of the
photo. The largest must be 5" long.
