Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

This really is a full service blog.

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

A consequence of cucumbers

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?

I know this must be bad for Joe Biden, I just don’t know how.

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

Come on, media. you have one job. start doing it.

An almost top 10,000 blog!

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

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

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

“I never thought they’d lock HIM up,” sobbed a distraught member of the Lock Her Up Party.

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

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

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

In short, I come down firmly on all sides of the issue.

Prediction: the GOP will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

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

The next time the wall street journal editorial board speaks the truth will be the first.

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

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

Open Thread & Reminder: Zoom with VAAC on Tuesday at 7:30 ET

I want to invite everyone to what I think will be a really special zoom on Tuesday evening at 7:30.

Come and meet the folks from Voting Access for All Coalition!  You will meet some of the people who founded this organization two years ago, and you get to meet all of the folks who are in the video below.

I know that “zoom” and “fun” don’t always go together, but I can’t help feeling anything but excited and inspired when I talk to the people from VAAC.

Yes, You Can Vote in Michigan—New Video!

Send email to WaterGirl to get the zoom link.

Please join us in the zoom tomorrow!

Totally open thread.

    I have only heard from a couple of people so far, and I really hope there is more interest than that, even with the site issues.

    They are such great people, I would hate for them to show up and have almost no audience.

    I would rather donate than zoom. If you put up a donation thread before the zoom maybe the account total may assuage the disappointment of the zoom participation.

    Just sent you an email, WG. They seem like a good group who’ve identified an important and often overlooked niche.

    I think so, too. With 300,000 people impacted and the goal of getting 100,000 of them to vote in November, that alone could swing Michigan.

    Can’t wait! And you can always attend the Zoom without speaking or turning on your video camera. WaterGirl isn’t going to call on anyone :) This one will be particularly engaging.

    Like I told WG, when she told me about it, they seem like an awesome group, but Zooming (with 2 kids age 2 and under) isn’t really workable, unfortunately. I hope it goes well, though!
