Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Keep the Immigrants and deport the fascists!

Stay strong, because they are weak.

Cancel the cowardly Times and Post and set up an equivalent monthly donation to ProPublica.

“I was told there would be no fact checking.”

The National Guard is not Batman.

Since we are repeating ourselves, let me just say fuck that.

I did not have this on my fuck 2025 bingo card.

DeSantis transforming Florida into 1930s Germany with gators and theme parks.

Fucking consultants! (of the political variety)

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

Giving up is unforgivable.

I desperately hope that, yet again, i am wrong.

Too often we confuse noise with substance. too often we confuse setbacks with defeat.

Jack Smith: “Why did you start campaigning in the middle of my investigation?!”

The next time the wall street journal editorial board speaks the truth will be the first.

If you can’t control your emotions, someone else will.

Reality always gets a vote in the end.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Welcome to day five of every-bit-as-bad-as-you-thought-it-would-be.

Make the republican party small enough to drown in a bathtub.

Beware of advice from anyone for whom Democrats are “they” and not “we.”

If ‘weird’ was the finish line, they ran through the tape and kept running.

Quote tweet friends, screenshot enemies.

I would try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.

I am back from my trip, and I had a great time. I spent five days in the suburbs of Philly with some great people, lounging by the pool and drinking scotch til the wee hours of the morning. Trip highlights included a concert, a night of fireworks at the country club, a boisterous game of Trivial Pursuit, and finding out that I have a cinder block for a right foot when I drive a 2002 Mercedes (I routinely found myself doing 95 on the highway- but in my defense, 95 in a Mercedes feels like 50 in my old Chevy Celebrity). I also got a pedicure (my father had one in NY three weeks ago and said it made his feet feel 20 years younger). It was wonderful, and it restored much of the damage that my lacrosse cleats and my combat boots had inflicted on my poor feet. A great time, indeed.
