Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Disagreements are healthy; personal attacks are not.

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

Boeing: repeatedly making the case for high speed rail.

Lick the third rail, it tastes like chocolate!

Nothing worth doing is easy.

Too often we confuse noise with substance. too often we confuse setbacks with defeat.

… pundit janitors mopping up after the gop

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

I desperately hope that, yet again, i am wrong.

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

Republican speaker of the house Mike Johnson is the bland and smiling face of evil.

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

You would normally have to try pretty hard to self-incriminate this badly.

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

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

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

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

Balloon Juice, where there is always someone who will say you’re doing it wrong.

Nothing says ‘pro-life’ like letting children go hungry.

The fundamental promise of conservatism all over the world is a return to an idealized past that never existed.

Stand up, dammit!

Low-key, but IMO it’s a good idea to recap the day for the low-info voters who haven’t been paying attention the way us news junkies have been.

There seems to be a strain of fatalism about the J6 hearings: they're not going to change people's minds, the reasoning goes, so … so what? I would humbly submit that I am next to no one when it comes to pessimism, but I disagree. It still matters to tell people the truth.
