Balloon Juice - The Daily Kos's Political State

I will just quote Kos for what he is looking for:

The concept is simple: to have ground-level correspondents covering political events in their neck of the woods. As such, I’m looking for politically astute individuals that can provide the occassional report on political ongoings in their states.

I am looking for writers from across the political spectrum — people who can steer clear of empty rhetoric and focus on the “Inside Baseball” aspect of politics. Ideological diversity is meant to provide diverse interpretations of certain events, not to spur pissing matches between ideological foes. This site is intended to be cerebral, not emotional.

Translation- He is looking for volunteers who will be able to report locally, and he is looking for a diverse group of writers. If you have not visited the Daily Kos yet, you do not understand how convinced I am that this will turn out to be a historic and wildly successful endeavor.

Ron DeSantis, the grand wizard, oops, governor of FL.

The words do not have to be perfect.

The media handbook says “controversial” is the most negative description that can be used for a Republican.

This fight is for everything.

Republicans: “Abortion is murder but you can take a bus to get one.” Easy peasy.

President Musk and Trump are both poorly raised, coddled 8 year old boys.

Democrats are back in array!

Imperialist aggressors must be defeated, or the whole world loses.

Roe isn’t about choice, it’s about freedom.

Let the trolls come, and then ignore them. that’s the worst thing you can do to a troll.

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

Today in our ongoing national embarrassment…

Live so that if you miss a day of work people aren’t hoping you’re dead.

The Supreme Court cannot be allowed to become the ultimate, unaccountable arbiter of everything.

Never give a known liar the benefit of the doubt.

You don’t get rid of your umbrella while it’s still raining.

Republicans don’t trust women.

Accountability, motherfuckers.

This must be what justice looks like, not vengeful, just peaceful exuberance.

I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.

Of course you can have champagne before noon. That’s why orange juice was invented.

“When somebody takes the time to draw up a playbook, they’re gonna use it.”

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

Let’s show the world that autocracy can be defeated.
