Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

The republican caucus is covering themselves with something, and it’s not glory.

He really is that stupid.

Conservatism: there are people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.

“woke” is the new caravan.

“Cheese and Kraken paired together for the appetizer trial.”

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

Make the republican party small enough to drown in a bathtub.

The lights are all blinking red.

Relentless negativity is not a sign that you are more realistic.

When we show up, we win.

I didn’t have alien invasion on my 2023 BINGO card.

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

Live so that if you miss a day of work people aren’t hoping you’re dead.

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

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

We know you aren’t a Democrat but since you seem confused let me help you.

I was confident that someone would point it out and thought why not me.

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

Biden: Oh no. We’ve upset Big Pharma again.

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

Every reporter and pundit should have to declare if they ever vacationed with a billionaire.

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

I’m just a talker, trying to find a channel!

Call Your Wavering Senator

TPM is reporting that Dianne Feinstein’s office is not able to commit to a filibuster carve out to pass legislation to protect women’s reproductive rights if the Democrats control the Senate next year.

As far as I’m concerned, if you live in a state with one or two Democratic Senators, it’s worth a call or email to your Senator who may be on the fence asking for their position on the carve out, and stating your support. That includes Angus King.

It might be worth calling Collins and Murkowski’s offices, too, because, hey, who knows? I also think it’s worth calling Sinema’s office, because she’s ripe to turn around on this one.

The first line in any letter to my reps is the statement that I’m a Democrat who votes in primaries and the general, and I’ve happily voted for them in the past.

Finally, to counter a view that’s often stated when talking about passing laws protecting women’s reproductive rights, if the Christofascists on the Supreme Court decide to overturn this law, then we can deal with that as it comes up. Plus, it’s not a foregone conclusion, and you only win if you try.
