Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Authoritarian republicans are opposed to freedom for the rest of us.

Republicans want to make it harder to vote and easier for them to cheat.

You passed on an opportunity to be offended? What are you even doing here?

No Kings: Americans standing in the way of bad history saying “Oh, Fuck No!”

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

White supremacy is terrorism.

It is not hopeless, and we are not helpless.

Incompetence, fear, or corruption? why not all three?

There is no right way to do the wrong thing.

Consistently wrong since 2002

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

We can show the world that autocracy can be defeated.

A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires.

There are more Russians standing up to Putin than Republicans.

Come on, media. you have one job. start doing it.

It’s possible to be a liberal firebrand without crapping on the party.

Prediction: the gop will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

Hey Washington Post, “Democracy Dies in Darkness” was supposed to be a warning, not a mission statement.

Those who are easily outraged are easily manipulated.

A tremendous foreign policy asset… to all of our adversaries.

A norm that restrains only one side really is not a norm – it is a trap.

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.
