Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

“And when the Committee says to “report your income,” that could mean anything!

There is one struggling party in US right now, and it’s not the Democrats.

He really is that stupid.

People are weird.

if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

Everybody saw this coming.

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

It’s all just conspiracy shit beamed down from the mothership.

Polls are now a reliable indicator of what corporate Republicans want us to think.

It is possible to do the right thing without the promise of a cookie.

It’s a new day. Light all those Biden polls of young people on fire and throw away the ashes.

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

Russia bombs Ukraine’s maternity hospitals; Republicans in the House can’t sort out supporting Ukraine.

Never forget that he train is barreling down on Trump, even as he dances on the tracks.

Tide comes in. Tide goes out. You can’t explain that.

I’m more Christian than these people and I’m an atheist.

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

We need to vote them all out and restore sane Democratic government.

You can’t love your country only when you win.

Hi god, it’s us. Thanks a heap, you’re having a great week and it’s only Thursday!

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

Republicans: slavery is when you own me. freedom is when I own you.

Please don’t feed the bears.

Glad to see john eastman going through some things.

Signal Boosting the Dems’ New Pro-Choice Message

Jim Newell has the news on Nancy Pelosi’s post-communion press conference:

“It is essential that we protect and expand our pro-choice majorities in the House and Senate in November,” Pelosi said, “so that we can eliminate the filibuster so that we can restore women’s fundamental rights—and freedom for every American.”

Pelosi is rarely this blunt about eliminating the filibuster. More often she’ll dismiss questions about Senate rules, saying that the Senate’s business is the Senate’s business. These comments are indicative of a shift in the last few days from Democrats who recognize that vague exhortations to “vote in November!” needed to get a little sharper. (They weren’t landing that great with the populace.)

The new directive is: We just need two more senators to make your dreams come true.

Newell’s piece is worth reading in full. If you want a more in-depth analysis of what’s needed to win the Senate, here’s Rayne at Emptywheel’s piece from a few days ago that has the PVIs of different districts, and other Senate race information.

Also, Elizabeth Warren tweeted out a few more constructive actions, which included signing a petition in Michigan by July 11 to get an amendment on the ballot to expand abortion protection, and voting no on abortion limitations in Kansas on August 2. She only mentions John Fetterman (PA) and Mandela Barnes (WI) as two anti-filibuster Senate challengers, though Tim Ryan (OH) and Val Demings (FL) have been vocal about opposing it, so I wouldn’t limit support to the first two, especially since Barnes hasn’t yet won the WI primary. (Sound off in the comments if you know of others.)

Anyway, good to see that Pelosi, Josh Marshall, AOC, all the Dems named here, and more named in the piece, are all on the same page.
