It very closely matches the description of giant blue lettuce, but it has yellow flowers...

It bleeds white latex, has leaves that resemble a giant dandelion

The stems hollow but very woody!

They moved in a few years ago and in the shady spot they inhabit they easily get 10-15' tall!
They look stretched out, this will be the first time I've had them in full sun, it's also the first time they've gotten in one of heavy feed beds... They look extra robust, I'm not sure if they'll get taller from better conditions of stouter from more sun... Either way they get massive!
I'm sure it's an exotic invasive, but I rather like them!

Any thoughts?
