Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Sometimes the world just tells you your cat is here.

This year has been the longest three days of putin’s life.

Trumpflation is an intolerable hardship for every American, and it’s Trump’s fault.

When you’re in more danger from the IDF than from Russian shelling, that’s really bad.

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

Washington Post Catch and Kill, not noticeably better than the Enquirer’s.

The unpunished coup was a training exercise.

Seems like a complicated subject, have you tried yelling at it?

If you still can’t see these things even now, maybe politics isn’t your forte and you should stop writing about it.

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

“Facilitate” is an active verb, not a weasel word.

It’s a good piece. click on over. but then come back!!

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

We are aware of all internet traditions.

Tick tock motherfuckers!

White supremacy is terrorism.

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

Just because you believe it, that does not make it true.

I did not have this on my fuck 2025 bingo card.

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

Bark louder, little dog.

How stupid are these people?

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

Excellent Read: ‘This is Democrats’ Masterclass in Resistance’

26 hours and 33 failed amendment votes: This is Democrats’ masterclass in resistance www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202…

— Karen Tumulty (@ktumulty.bsky.social) May 15, 2025 at 8:57 PM

Commentor Geminid reminded me I wanted to share a gift link to Karen Tumulty’s latest Washington Post column:

For a party that has been shut out of power in Washington, what happened this week in Room 2123 of the Rayburn House Office Building was a masterclass in resistance.

Over more than 26 sleepless hours that began on Tuesday afternoon and continued into Wednesday, Democrats on the House Energy and Commerce Committee pounded the panel’s Republican majority with 33 amendments, most of which were aimed at stripping the GOP’s “big, beautiful bill” containing politically toxic cuts to Medicaid. In the hallway outside, police arrested more than two dozen protesters, many of whom were in wheelchairs.

Every one of the amendments failed, as Democrats knew they would. But their coordinated assault on the centerpiece of President Donald Trump’s legislative agenda framed a powerful narrative that is shaping up to be the party’s most potent message heading into next year’s midterm elections.…

The marathon session laid bare the Republicans’ vulnerability on Medicaid. They claim to be rooting out waste and fraud from the system. But, in its essence, the bill amounts to a declaration of who should be deemed worthy of health care in this country.

show full post on front page

The GOP’s twin arguments — that it is making the program more efficient and exercising fiscal responsibility — are also weakened by the fact that the savings the party hopes to achieve would go toward extending the 2017 Trump tax cuts that are due to expire at the end of the year…

In all, the changes envisioned by the bill would mean that by 2034, an additional 13.7 million Americans would be without health coverage, according to an estimate by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office.

In the committee’s meeting room, Democrats put names and stories that number — such as a 23-year-old college student with cerebral palsy named Sasha, who was in the audience with her mother.

Though the bill would not cut her benefits directly, Rep. Nanette Barragán (D-California) said, Sasha “could be buried in red tape, forced to navigate paperwork and eligibility checks.”

She also noted that Sasha is a constituent of committee member Rep. Tom Kean, a Republican from a swing district in New Jersey.

“Democrats stand with you, Sasha, in opposing any Medicaid cuts,” Barragán said. “We need just four Republicans to join us. I hope we can find them, and I hope one is your congressmember.”…

Energy and Commerce Committee Democrats came ready, and while they didn’t have the numbers to win any of the votes they forced, their tenacity warns of what lies ahead in the battle over Medicaid. Republicans will likely wish it was a fight they had never started.

In photos: Muslims celebrate Eid al-Fitr around the world

[image or embed]

— Middle-East Tracker (@me.skyfleet.blue) March 30, 2025 at 2:15 PM

[gift link]

About 2 billion Muslims around the world celebrated Eid al-Fitr on Sunday, marking the end of the holy month of Ramadan, when adherents fast from dawn until dusk.

In festive, colorful celebrations, families and friends from Morocco to Nigeria, Sudan to Albania, and Gaza to India gathered for shared feasts, exchanged gifts, attended communal prayers and spent time with their loved ones.

During the holy month of Ramadan, Muslims abstain from eating and drinking during daylight hours, beginning their fast after a pre-sunrise meal and breaking it with iftar, a dinner at sunset. It’s usually a time for reflection and deeper connection to faith and community.

Ramadan officially ends when a new crescent moon is sighted, marking the beginning of the month of Shawwal, which happened Saturday…

Many people — including in Indonesia, where the tradition is called “mudik” — hopped onto trains, buses and boats to flee towns and cities and return home to celebrate the holiday with family.

In some countries, it’s traditional for elders to give money to younger family members. Some serve traditional meals such as lemang, a Southeast Asian dish of glutinous rice cooked in coconut milk, or sweets like kahk — crumbly, sugarcoated cookies eaten widely in Egypt.

Eid prayers are offered in the morning, often in open spaces. In the holy city of Mecca, in Saudi Arabia, hundreds of thousands of Muslims prayed Sunday at the Grand Mosque.

This is a really important point. Trump is losing most of the cases he's losing because no statute directly authorizes what he's doing.

Instead of complaining about judges doing their jobs, congressional Republicans could, you know, *pass legislation* to give Trump the authorities he's claiming.

I wasn’t thinking about the governor’s condition—I was thinking about the planes, trains, and automobiles he used to transfer migrants into communities led by Black mayors, deliberately stoking tension and fear among the most vulnerable.

— Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett (@repjasmine.bsky.social) March 25, 2025 at 3:46 PM

Literally, the next line I said was that he was a “Hot A** Mess,” referencing his terrible policies. At no point did I mention or allude to his condition.

So, I’m even more appalled that the very people who unequivocally support Trump—a man known for racially insensitive nicknames and mocking those with disabilities—are now outraged.

Keep that same energy for all people, not just your political adversaries.

Finally, this is yet another distraction. Instead of obsessing over and hanging on to my every word, maybe my political foes should focus on doing the work of the people who elected us to improve their lives.

A Harbinger, indeed. Per CNN, “‘This is not your grandmother’s Easter Egg Roll’: White House seeks corporate sponsorships for Easter event”:

The White House, through an outside event production company called Harbinger, is soliciting corporate sponsors for this year’s Easter Egg Roll, which is prompting major concerns from ethics experts and shock from former White House officials from both parties.

The sponsorship offers range from $75,000 to $200,000, with the promise of logo and branding opportunities, according to a nine-page document sent to potential sponsors and obtained by CNN.

The Egg Roll, which began during the Rutherford B. Hayes administration in 1878, has long been privately funded without taxpayer dollars, largely through the American Egg Board, which also provides tens of thousands of eggs for the occasion. And all money raised by Harbinger will go to the White House Historical Association.

“This is an enterprise. This is not your grandmother’s Easter Egg Roll where people lined up outside the gate and go and roll an egg and get a little gift bag and walk out,” said a former official involved in planning the event, which has cost hundreds of thousands of dollars in recent years.

The pitch document laying out sponsorship opportunities includes logos for both the White House and Harbinger, which previously produced the event during President Donald Trump’s first term and is offering “initial planning” and “event day execution” for sponsors that sign on. It features imagery of Trump, first lady Melania Trump, members of the Trump family, the Easter Bunny, and the White House press corps, including CNN correspondent Kaitlan Collins…

Among the offerings for prospective sponsors: “Naming rights for key areas or elements,” “Sponsor logos featured on event signage,” “Custom-branded baskets, snacks/beverages, or souvenirs,” “Mentions in official event communications and social media posts,” “Acknowledgment in printed or digital event programs,” and “Inclusion in press releases and media interviews.” Sponsors can also gain access to an “invite-only brunch hosted inside the White House by FLOTUS,” tickets to the event, and a private White House tour.

Upon viewing the pitch document, Richard Painter, who served in the White House Counsel’s Office under President George W. Bush, told CNN that it “wouldn’t have gotten through Counsel’s Office.”

“That would have been vetoed in about 30 seconds in my day,” he said. “We’re not running this like a football stadium where you get all logos all over the place for kicking in money.” …

show full post on front page

It’s not unusual for a production company like Harbinger to be involved. The company, founded by former Mitt Romney campaign staffers in 2013, has produced large-scale corporate and government events, including Egg Rolls during Trump’s first term, March for Our Lives, media spin rooms at presidential debates, and Pope Francis’ 2015 visit to the US.

Private contributions cover activity booths, artists, music, vendors, staging, equipment and décor, said a source familiar with the planning who was granted anonymity to detail specifics of the funding mechanisms. Any excess funding raised, that source said, will go toward other similar White House events, such as Halloween festivities and the Fourth of July. So far, one sponsor has been identified for the April 21 event, with other “successful conversations” underway, according to the source, who noted that the National Park Service, which oversees White House grounds, will be responsible for vetting prospective donors before gifts are accepted…

Painter argued the move runs counter to free enterprise. The Trump administration, he said, “just have a different attitude… that ‘America First’ somehow requires the United States to pick winners and losers in the private sector.”

Donald Sherman, the chief counsel and executive director of Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), said he had “never seen anything like this before” associated with a White House.

“I understand that there are corporate sponsors for the Easter Egg Roll,” Sherman told CNN. “What I have not seen before is sort of the outright solicitation and the use of the imprimatur of the White House to give corporate sponsorship.”…

— Joe Oslund (@joe_oslund) March 19, 2025

Per Wisconsin Public Radio, “Tim Walz says pushing back against President Trump, Elon Musk starts with Wisconsin Supreme Court election”:

… The 2024 Democratic vice presidential nominee also criticized Republican U.S. Rep. Derrick Van Orden of Prairie du Chien for halting in-person town halls, suggesting he’s “scared” of hearing from constituents angry over federal cuts initiated by Trump and Musk.

Walz entered Eau Claire’s Pablo Center theater to a standing ovation by hundreds of Democrats from the Chippewa Valley region and beyond in Wisconsin’s 3rd Congressional District. His visit served as a bit of a catchall for the state Democratic Party. It was a rally aimed at motivating liberals to help Crawford defeat conservative Waukesha County Judge Brad Schimel. And it served as an opportunity for liberals to vent their anger about Trump and Musk as they work to dismantle federal agencies and lay off tens of thousands of federal workers.

The Democratic Party of Wisconsin’s decision to hold its “People v. Musk” event in Eau Claire was meant to send a message to Van Orden, whose district is one of around a dozen the party is focused on flipping in 2026. Eau Claire is the largest city in the 3rd Congressional District, and throughout the evening, Walz and state Democratic Party Chair Ben Wikler took turns criticizing Van Orden’s switch to virtual town halls due to what he has described as “George Soros-funded agitators” disrupting GOP events…

“We have to take this like you do cleaning the house or whatever, one chunk at a time,” Walz said. “And America’s first chunk of cleaning is the Wisconsin Supreme Court, April 1.” …

Dave Weigel has a longer interview, at Semafor — mostly, in Semafor style, sneakily questioning whether it wouldn’t be more sensible for us Democrats to just shut up, roll over, enable the GOP. Walz, IMO, is good at rebutting / redirecting these tired tropes:

David Weigel: You told [California Gov.] Gavin Newsom that Senate Democrats should have ‘made Trump justify what he’s doing.’ How could they have made that happen?

Tim Walz: I’ve said this on budgets and stuff. I voted, at times when the Republicans needed another vote on the debt ceiling, to get it done. And I voted with George Bush. But I also think that we have to recognize this is so different. I think, as a governor, seeing the disruptions that it’s causing, seeing the system shut down, we can’t get reimbursement — I understood that the argument was, if we did a shutdown, if we fought Trump that way, it would cause pain to people. The pain is already here.

I will try and cooperate with anybody, but I’m not going to compromise on core values, whether it’s human rights or other things. The first time, with Trump, I tried to cultivate a relationship to a certain degree. He even praised me a few times. My idea was to keep my head down, not draw a contrast to Minnesota, and do the best we could. That’s not going to work this time with this guy. It’s not going to work for anybody. It’s certainly not going to work for Minnesota. So I said, I’ll follow the law, but if he issues unlawful orders, we’re not going to do it.

What did Chuck Schumer not do that a different leader could have done?

All of us on this could have had a clearer vision. We knew this [continuing resolution] was coming. I think there could have been, like — what are states doing? We were prepping for a shutdown, right? My team prepares for a shutdown. How do we hold things down? How do we use rainy day funds? What can we do? I think there could have been those conversations amongst us.

And look, I don’t want to question Sen. Schumer. He’s an expert at this. He’s been there a long time. He also, I think, has great compassion for what would happen with the shutdown. What I would say, if there would have been more communication with all of us: That pain is already in the states, and it’s not going to get any better. And I think the issue is, it muddied the water on who’s to blame for this, and it’s clearly Donald Trump…

One of the premises of this Republican campaign for the [Wisconsin] Supreme Court is that the Trump vote can come out for someone who’s not Trump. Looking ahead: Could JD Vance do it? How much of this Trump coalition do you think he can hold on to?

I don’t know. I think there’s something unique about Trump. Look, the people bought what he was selling. He seems to have a way to do this. He’s entertaining, or whatever. I’m not sure that there’s someone else who does that. Does that somebody else hold his 77 million voters? Probably. Does that person then alienate people, or not do enough, when all those other voters come out to beat him? Because you could easily bury them. I keep telling people, I don’t think you should be hoping that we get a charismatic Barack Obama [to] roll into the scene and get us out of this. I think it’s these things, these town halls, that does it.

And a little affirmation for us jackals!

Walz proposes a "shadow government kind of thing" where "every day there's a press conference opposite of them."

"How, in God's name, Wisconsin, did we let Sean Duffy off the hook for planes crashing?"
