Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Cole, when it comes to calico cats, restraint is overrated.

I might just take the rest of the day off and do even more nothing than usual.

“The defense has a certain level of trust in defendant that the government does not.”

Another missed opportunity for Jamie Dimon to just shut the fuck up.

ha ha ha! Nice try weird people.

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

Peak wingnut was a lie.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

Republicans: The threats are dire, but my tickets are non-refundable!

Someone should tell Republicans that violence is the last refuge of the incompetent, or possibly the first.

Today’s gop: why go just far enough when too far is right there?

If you are still in the gop, you are either an extremist yourself, or in bed with those who are.

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

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

How any woman could possibly vote for this smug smarmy piece of misogynistic crap is beyond understanding.

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

Shut up, hissy kitty!

We’ll be taking my thoughts and prayers to the ballot box.

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

I’m starting to think Jesus may have made a mistake saving people with no questions asked.

At some point, the ability to learn is a factor of character, not IQ.

Republicans do not pay their debts.

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

Double Angel Match Up to $100 for Worker Power in AZ (We Did It!)

This post is in: , , ,

Update:  We did it!  Double Match is complete!  Thank you, everyone!

Sending a great big thank you to each of our Balloon Juice Angels who made this happen!

PatrickG, Pinkpuppy, and three anonymous BJ Angels – you know who you are!

And the match offers would go nowhere without all of the BJ peeps making their matching donations.

Thank you all!

Original post:

I got a phone call with a fundraising offer that’s right up our alley and too good to pass up – external matching for two of our key states – but it has a timetable attached.   And we can’t pursue that while we’re still raising funds for Worker Power.

So, to help goose our current effort along, we’re running two Angel matches at once, which gives us a double match for donations up to $100.  So $100 = $300, $75 = $225, $50 = $150, $25 = $75, $10 = $30, $5 = $15.

To count toward the double match, tell us about your donation in the comments, or send me an email message.

Right now, as you know, we are trying to fund a boots-on-the ground voter registration team for three weeks.  If we can fund the first 2 weeks right now, I am hoping we can defer funding for the third week until after we have pursued this pending opportunity.

What’s at stake?  Why District 2 and District 4 in AZ?  In a word: micro-targeting!

  • 11 electoral votes to keep Biden as president
  • replace Sinema with Ruben Gallego to hold the Senate seat
  • flip one seat in the U.S. House to beat the vulnerable Republican who barely beat Jevin Hodge
  • pick up two AZ House seats  (Republicans hold the AZ House by 2 seats)
  • pick up one AZ Senate seat  (Republicans hold the AZ Senate by 2 seats)
  • get rid of the charter-school-loving election denier who chose Clarence Thomas as her son’s godfather
  • as a bonus, creepy crazy Kari Lake loses again!

Remember, this time it’s personal!

Open thread!

    Clearly, my brain is fried from visiting my parents down here in Tampa. Can we click the AZ/Worker Power thermometer for the angel matches or is there another one?

    OK, in for $250 (thru the Act Blue link in the thermometer).  I love these matching challenges :-). Thank you Angels and Water Girl!

    In for $25.00.  This how I assuage my guilt for not responding to Ruben Gallego’s constant emails.

    I’mma let y’all finish, but just wanted to share J-Rub coming in hot and fresh with the receipts. She pretty much smacks down the “were you better off four years ago?” claims. Is a thing of beauty.

    I chipped in another 50. We’ll do some of those things on that list, but I’m greedy. I want them ALL.

    Indeed it is! Although I confess, I saw “J-Rub” but for a minute there my mind went “R-Jud.” Must be interesting for an expat to be watching American politics from Blighty; perhaps qualitatively distinct from, say, a Tony Jay.

    You guys are amazing!  If we get another $920 of matchable donations, we will have reached our $27,500 goal for the first two weeks of the canvass team!
