Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Polls are now a reliable indicator of what corporate Republicans want us to think.

Accountability, motherfuckers.

We can’t confuse what’s necessary to win elections with the policies that we want to implement when we do.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

White supremacy is terrorism.

They love authoritarianism, but only when they get to be the authoritarians.

Stand up, dammit!

The republican caucus is covering themselves with something, and it is not glory.

Compromise? There is no middle ground between a firefighter and an arsonist.

This country desperately needs a functioning fourth estate.

There is no compromise when it comes to body autonomy. You either have it or you do not.

The lights are all blinking red.

Fear and negativity are contagious, but so is courage!

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

The only way through is to slog through the muck one step at at time.

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

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

We are learning that “working class” means “white” for way too many people.

This really is a full service blog.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

Seems like a complicated subject, have you tried yelling at it?

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

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

It is possible to do the right thing without the promise of a cookie.
