the Republican inability to understand how population density works never fails to amuse me
This map exposes the truth:
đ´ ILLINOIS IS RED! đ´
JB Pritzkerâs gerrymander is the only thing keeping Democrats in power.
Community note
The blue area to the northeast is the Chicago metropolitan area, whose population is about 9.5 million people.
The population of the entire state of IL is about 12.5 million people, which means the blue area contains approximately 3/4 of the state's population.

Let me get this straight: a Republican congressman beat up the woman he was having an affair with and police are ready to arrest him but they canât because Trumpâs appointed U.S. attorney refuses to enforce the law against republicans
Update: D.C. police said they sent an arrest warrant on Rep. Cory Mills to the U.S. attorneyâs office on Friday. It has not been signed, and police said the case was sent back to them for further investigation. Sources said it may never result in charges. nbc4dc.com/XemOTyE

AriZona 99 cent iced tea survived:
-the Great Recession
-COVID
-supply chain breakdowns
-2022 inflation
but what will finally kill it? Trumpâs tariffs
Trump's 50% tariff on aluminum imports has AriZona considering raising its iconic 99-cent price
AriZona Iced Tea:
⢠Uses 100M lbs of aluminum annually
⢠20% of which comes from Canada

Joe Rogan to Zelensky: âFUCK YOU!â
Rogan argued that Biden shouldn't be allowed to escalate a war when the American people voted for a new administration.
"How are you allowed to do that when you're on the way out? The people don't want you to be there anymore."
"Zelensky says Putin is terrified... f**k you, man. F**k you, people."
"We voted Trump in and his idea to stop all this... hopefully he can do that."

property taxes are one of those policies thatâs essentially just an IQ test
Hi.
We need to completely abolish property taxes. It forces us to pay ârentâ to the government on property that we own, but if we donât pay property taxes, the property that we own gets taken away from us. That should never happen in a free country.
Secondly, health insurance is a giant scam that has become completely unaffordable. And it doesnât make any sense and I donât know anyone, and I mean anyone, that supports the current healthcare system in the United States.
These are American Only issues and such significant problems that we should be addressing them the same way we would if our house was on fire.

- sharply cut parking mandates
- limit excess impact fees
- cut condo defect liability
- require equal treatment for manufactured homes
- legalize single-stair buildings up to 6 stories statewide

look at all of the the âlaw and orderâ conservatives in the replies suddenly become anarchists when the law in question is driving safely and yielding to pedestrians at the crosswalk
NEW: The San Francisco Police Department is dressing up as inflatable chickens to catch speeding drivers going through crosswalks.
The officers are giving out citations to those who don't stop for the chicken crossing the road.
The gig is paying off as the department has given out about 40 citations with some fines costing upwards of $400.
"If you donât see someone in a giant chicken costume, then we really have a problem," said police Lt. Jonathan Ozol to the SFGate.
"Itâs having an impact. Drivers seem more aware, more cognizant. Certainly when they see the chicken."
