Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

Take your GOP plan out of the witness protection program.

JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

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

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

This has so much WTF written all over it that it is hard to comprehend.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

Republicans seem to think life begins at the candlelight dinner the night before.

They’re not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

Battle won, war still ongoing.

I’m pretty sure there’s only one Jack Smith.

A democracy can’t function when people can’t distinguish facts from lies.

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

… pundit janitors mopping up after the GOP

The revolution will be supervised.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

Let us savor the impending downfall of lawless scoundrels who richly deserve the trouble barreling their way.

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers, and a reminder for some of the rest of you that it’s not too late to call yours.

There will be a NIXONLAND thread at 7pm EDT tonight, because he was one nasty mother…

    Who are the worst offenders among the Beltway crowd of reporters? I don’t mean the most malicious, necessarily, but the most mindlessly conventional-wisdom-repeating, the most rooted in oligarch-leg-humping, stenographer culture?

    Hm. In moderation. Was is for the word m-a-l-i-c-i-o-u-s? Let me try again.

    Who do you think are the worst reporters? The most mindlessly conventional-wisdom repeating, inside-the-Beltway leg-humping, stenographers?

    A strange Mother’s Day for me as I’m in DC for a conference. Going to take in a museum before my meeting starts while everyone else is at brunch. Kinda nice, actually!
