Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. let’s win this.

Peak wingnut was a lie.

Presidents are not kings, and Plaintiff is not President.

Their freedom requires your slavery.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

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

We still have time to mess this up!

The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”

No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.

Republican obstruction dressed up as bipartisanship. Again.

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

T R E 4 5 O N

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.

The words do not have to be perfect.

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

This fight is for everything.

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

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

I’m not sure if DougJ has covered her already, but a commenter shared this with me, so I wanted to front page it because, well HELL YEAH! She petitioned the FEC to allow funds raised to cover child care. I’ll let her tell the story:

She’s taking on Peter King. Daunting, but she sure seems up to the task.  Here’s her campaign page.

    Please FSM, I’ve been a good girl this year. So has she. Let her take out the despicable Peter King. We so need more like her running. And if the gods agree, winning.

    Love this. I hope she has a shot at winning the seat but the FEC ruling on childcare for candidates who are parents is already a win!

    @Another Scott: Thanks for helping her pay for child care. I assume once she’s in Congress, they have paid child care there. Or they will when she gets through with them.

    Without even being elected she’s already changed the game. Sure hope she wins!

    Watch out for the One Nation PAC. It’s running some seriously skeevy, borderline slanderous ads against Joe Donnelly here and I assume other vulnerable Senate Dems elsewhere.

    Emptywheel’s explanation is so convoluted , I did not really get it. Writing clearly is hard and I have trouble with it myself, so I feel bad crticizing someone for it, but that post went right over my head.

    Love a positive ad that also throws shade on the opponent. Really inspiring woman, and Peter King is disgusting as fuck. Sent her a tiny donation, but every little bit helps.

    Wow. I’m in.

    Wow. Imagining a House where the insurgents look like this, and send the teabagging ratfuck criminals and their grift train to the showers.
