This is Archie. He's deaf and doesn't hear when his humans get home. Luckily, his little brother Frankie lets him know with a gentle nudge to make sure he doesn't miss the moment. 14/10 for both (TT: melissamilne)

According to federal data, 13 of the top 20 cities in homicide rates have Republican governors. None of those cities are Chicago.
8 of the top 10 states in homicide rates are led by Republicans. None of those states are Illinois.
And yet Trump is sending troops here.

Over 30,000 of Tony Wied's constituents are at risk of losing health care under the GOP’s Big Ugly Bill that he voted for. Wied does not care if his constituents have health care, and he won't even face them in person to tell them that.

Someone once said, “Fascism is a counterrevolution against a revolution that never happened.” What fascists do is try to convince this reactionary base that they’re in danger, that they’re under dire threat from the liberals and the queers and the professors.

We have a new Q&A w/ @volts.wtf coming soon & it's wild how well our previous one from June '24 holds up
"We have this lying, abusive, obviously nutbag figure, and we can’t acknowledge to ourselves what’s happening. The political commentariat is trying so hard to process this into a normal thing."

Speaking of not working, Mike Johnson just shut down the House for 2 months to block the release of names of pedophiles, but taxpayers are still paying his salary ($224K/yr), 73% of all his & his family’s healthcare expenses, $79/day food stipend, & up to $34K per yr for things like travel & housing
Johnson: "The Urban League that came out with their study that said 100k+ people are gonna lose Medicaid bc of the work requirements? That means they're choosing to not work... if somebody drops out of the program bc they're unwilling to do that, they did not deserve to be on that program."
