What location are you in?
It looks like some sort of thistle.
If it's the Canadian thistle - good luck! They have a huge root mass that will take several applications to kill. Best time to kill them is in fall. In spring the sap is flowing up, to feed the flower & seed. You can burn the top off, but it won't kill easy. In fall it sends the sap down to the root to build the root mass - that's when you can get Roundup, or the better broadleaf killers (24D, dicomba product, etc.) on it.
Waxy leaf, so takes a surficant to help out.
Now if you have just the one, you can pull it - repeatedly - with leather gloves. Or hoe it - repeatedly. But this often leads to the massive root sending out several shoots, and unless you are on top of killing each & every one, it will end up maintaning itself and be back stronger next year.
