Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

When you’re a Republican, they let you do it.

Dear elected officials: Trump is temporary, dishonor is forever.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

It’s easy to sit in safety and prescribe what other people should be doing.

When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.

Let the trolls come, and then ignore them. that’s the worst thing you can do to a troll.

No one could have predicted…

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

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

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

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

Baby steps, because the Republican Party is full of angry babies.

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

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

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

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

The National Guard is not Batman.

I’ll remember April

This post is in: 

Ballon Juicer Paul Wartenberg is from Florida-17 and wants us to know about the great Democratic candidate there.

As your representative, April will defend our community, our seniors, our children, our veterans and our environment by pursuing policies that make sense and work. April will work with other elected officials to ensure everyone benefits from policies that will impact them positively.

April has the experience necessary to help lead our country into and through the next decade. She spent several years educating young voters enrolled in two year programs on the importance of voting. Her extensive work and studies in communications at University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, Michigan, along with additional courses she completed in Environmental Science, Economics and Political Science at Yale University make her a perfect advocate for Florida residents and our extremely sensitive ecosystem. Freeman is a 2013 Graduate of the Women’s Campaign School at Yale, through Yale Law School…”

    @Yutsano: With all that news breaking, I was just checking my calendar to make sure it wasn’t Friday.

    I defy any woman to read her story and not believe it.

    @WaterGirl: The republicans are already circling their wagons. We already have one sex abuser determined to take away the rights of females, we don’t need another. I’m furious.

    @Yutsano: Just added to the top of that story:

    BREAKING: Senate Republicans signaled they plan to move ahead on Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination despite a decades-old sexual misconduct allegation.

    The statement from Judiciary Committee Republicans came shortly after The Washington Post published a story Sunday afternoon that included an on-the-record interview with the woman alleging the sexual misconduct, Christine Blasey Ford. The committee Republicans said it was disturbing that the allegation was never brought to the attention of the full panel previously.

    Emphasis added. That’s bringing victim-blaming to whole new heights.

    @dmsilev: Also after the Republicans have tried to make sure that nothing he ever did before came up before the committee. I think the Democrats should use this and say, “Well,m if we need to bring everything up before the committee, how about those 300,000 other pages of documents?”

    I believe her and I believe DiFi did the right thing. If it was a Democratic judge up for confirmation and a Republican senator had received that letter, it would be on the Drudge Report 60 seconds later. DiFi believed the woman, and respected her desire for anonymity, so all the people screaming that she should have told the other Dems immediately can fuck right off. This nomination reeks, and I have set a goal to write a postcard today for every senator on the Judiciary panel, plus the Republican leaners, today so I can mail them and be sure they receive them before Thursday. The fact that Grassley delayed the vote a week shows that they are afraid.

    They’re going to push this through, now more than ever. They’ve realized they’re likely to lose the Senate, which means no SC picks at all. So they have to get this one through. It will of course make it even more likely they’ll lose the Senate–women will be pissed–but they’ll have their guy in. They have to have him confirmed.
