Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

75% of people clapping liked the show!

Hell hath no fury like a farmer bankrupted.

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

“The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits.”

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

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

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

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

This isn’t Democrats spending madly. This is government catching up.

The real work of an opposition party is to oppose.

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires Republicans to act in good faith.

The press swings at every pitch, we don’t have to.

We can’t confuse what’s necessary to win elections with the policies that we want to implement when we do.

There is no right way to do the wrong thing.

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

You are either for trump or for democracy. Pick one.

How stupid are these people?

The arc of the moral universe does not bend itself. it is up to us to bend it.

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

He wakes up lying, and he lies all day.

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

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

Fight them, without becoming them!

NCAAT & Nebraska – Almost There!

This post is in: ,

Update: We did it! You guys rock!

Reminder:  We have a 6x match in place for this final stretch for NCAAT.  And the $4k Angel check that gets mailed as soon as we hit $21,000!  (Taking us to $25,000!)

And we have a new Angel for $250 for the Nebraska House NE-02 & Senate Race, so that’s a 2x match to help get us to the top!

No need to tell us about your donations to get the match.  If it goes in the thermometer, it will be matched.  Until we hit our goals!

And we have THREE $10 bonus NCAAT Angel matches for folks who tend to donate in the $4-$20 range.  Hate to have those 3 unused!  (Reminder, that makes your $10 donation turn into $90!)

If we can finish these off, we’ll take the weekend off, and then on Monday roll out:

Operation Blue Arizona

We’ve got:

  • our final two organizations for AZ, Worker Power and Four Directions AZ
  • great candidates
  • two AZ Supreme Court Republican judges that are up for retention (hopefully not retained!)
  • Abortion Rights is on the ballot.

But we can’t start those until we finish up these. :-)

But maybe everyone is already tapped out?

I’m heading out to water my flowers, but I’ll be back in shortly to hopefully catch a few bonus NCAAT matches.

    Alas, I’ve been handing out political donations right and left (well, actually more left) but now I’m needing expensive plumbing work done, so I have to slow down on donations for the moment.

    Once more with $10 to NCAAT and $5 to Nebraska. Have tried to help build to the top so let’s go!

    Again, Watergirl, thanks for the NE boost. I’m really excited that this might be a good year for them. I have to be honest, I have a lot of family there that the republican policies directly hurt. So when I saw there were good things happening, I paid attention.

    I have a new fundraising suggestion that had kind of slipped under my radar: Missy Cotter Smasal in VA-02. This is was Elaine Luria’s seat until the midterms, so it’s definitely winnable. It’s currently held by the awful Jen Kiggans (all Virginia Republicans are awful at this point.) There was a public poll out last week showing it basically tied; Kiggans up by one!

    She’s being outraised about two to one, but the House Majority PAC appears to have dumped a lot of money into ads. That may mean it’s not a good fit for us in terms of impact, but I wanted to put it out there.

    As someone who, for some of my earlier years, was in the ramen-noodle* income bracket, I love the $4-$20 tier. Much appreciated!

    *In my case, the staple item was peanut butter. I still remember the sense of anguish when I set my grocery bag down too hard at the bus stop, and heard the new PB jar break.

    @eponymous: Great to hear!  Nebraska is a state I’ve never been to – south or north of there but go Cornhuskers! (? I’ve been to the Corn Palace in a state to the south).

    @H.E.Wolf: Oh god – what you say about peanut butter.  Something similar happened to me but it was a container of milk.  And then I wasn’t sure I’d be able to get my remaining groceries home because the milk wrecked the paper bag.

     Oh lordy. My heart sank for both of you, just reading those recollections.

    Maybe the silver lining to those desperate days is the ability to remember what it’s like, and comprehend what others are going through.

    @H.E.Wolf: Absolutely!

    The fact that I totally suck at directions and get totally stressed  when I get lost is what has given me patience with people who get totally flustered by computer stuff – i can’t judge them for that because I know how it feels.
