Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

They think we are photo bombing their nice little lives.

Balloon Juice has never been a refuge for the linguistically delicate.

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

The GOP is a fucking disgrace.

Is it negotiation when the other party actually wants to shoot the hostage?

The most dangerous place for a black man in America is in a white man’s imagination.

Insiders who complain to politico: please report to the white house office of shut the fuck up.

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

It’s the corruption, stupid.

I really should read my own blog.

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

If you’re pissed about Biden’s speech, he was talking about you.

“Can i answer the question? No you can not!”

Bark louder, little dog.

Speaking of republicans, is there a way for a political party to declare intellectual bankruptcy?

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

Let’s finish the job.

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

Come on, man.

    Rep. Hank Johnson’s (D-GA) poem for Eric Garner

    Black men and boys killed by police.
    I can’t breathe.
    Impunity for the killers – no justice, no peace.
    I can’t breathe.
    Militarized police met peaceful protesters on their knees.
    I can’t breathe.
    Weapons of war – a show of force on our streets.
    I can’t breathe.
    Disenfranchised youth driven to violence as speech.
    I can’t breathe.
    Cynical media think this makes great TV.
    I can’t breathe.
    This cowardly Congress afraid of losing our seats.
    I can’t breathe.
    Half-hearted reform when there’s more that we need.
    I can’t breathe.
    Just thinking about the despair that this breeds.
    I can’t breathe.
    Black lives matter. Hear my pleas.
    I can’t breathe. I can’t breathe.

    @efgoldman: I’m not Richard, but I think the “open season” for enrollments are for people who are eligible during the enrollment period. If your circumstances change, then the open enrollment period doesn’t apply.

    Special Enrollment Period:

    ObamaCare Special Enrollment Period

    A special enrollment period is a time outside of open enrollment when you and your family can sign up for health insurance in the health insurance marketplace. You may qualify for a special enrollment period of 60 days following certain life events that involve a change in family status (for example, marriage or birth of a child) or loss of other health coverage.

    HTH.

    Cheers,
    Scott.

    @efgoldman: Next spring as she is still covered by your employer sponsored coverage. When she loses that, she enters a “Special Enrollment Period” where she can buy a policy on an Exchange with subsidy if she qualifies for it.
