Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

There’s always a light at the end of the frog.

Bark louder, little dog.

Republicans don’t lie to be believed, they lie to be repeated.

When do the post office & the dmv weigh in on the wuhan virus?

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

You can’t love your country only when you win.

I desperately hope that, yet again, I am wrong.

An unpunished coup is a training exercise.

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

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

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

“woke” is the new caravan.

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

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

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

Can we lighten up on the doomsday scenarios?

Hot air and ill-informed banter

How can republicans represent us when they don’t trust women?

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. let’s win this.

This country desperately needs a functioning Fourth Estate.

When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.

The rest of the comments were smacking Boebert like she was a piñata.

There are no moderate republicans – only extremists and cowards.

I’m pretty sure there’s only one Jack Smith.

The Washington Shakespeare Company, that Arlington outpost of offbeat treatments of classic plays, is going where no D.C. enterprise …

In my opinion hangover sufferers deny any memory of the night preceding (and therefore, apparently, limit their responsibility for whatever they did) more often that it’s actually true. The whole idea sounded like a myth to me, until one night in college…Anyhow, thanks to the work of UCSF researcher Ulrike Heberlein we now have some …
