Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Republicans want to make it harder to vote and easier for them to cheat.

A norm that restrains only one side really is not a norm – it is a trap.

White supremacy is terrorism.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

“When somebody takes the time to draw up a playbook, they’re gonna use it.”

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

Make the republican party small enough to drown in a bathtub.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

If you thought you’d already seen people saying the stupidest things possible on the internet, prepare yourselves.

We’re watching the self-immolation of the leading world power on a level unprecedented in human history.

My years-long effort to drive family and friends away has really paid off this year.

Fight for a just cause, love your fellow man, live a good life.

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

It’s all just conspiracy shit beamed down from the mothership.

If you can’t control your emotions, someone else will.

She burned that motherfucker down, and I am so here for it. Thank you, Caroline Kennedy.

If America since Jan 2025 hasn’t broken your heart, you haven’t loved her enough.

Democracy cannot function without a free press.

Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?

Reality always gets a vote in the end.

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

I have other things to bitch about but those will have to wait.

“Alexa, change the president.”

I am reminded of what we used to chant when marching or picketing: “People, united, will never be defeated.”  The Democratic party is united (mostly) and the Republican party is not.  Case in point.

I think I’m a fairly patient person, mostly, but Biden has me beat by a mile.

If this dithering  and lack of Ukraine funding was maddening for all of us, it was surely worse for President Biden, but Biden and the rest of our leadership must have been endlessly planning, pushing and pulling to get us to this point.  Biden, Jeffries, Schumer and more.

You can’t tell me that Republicans came up with the rules to vote on and the method to get there without a filibuster and sabotage being possible.  Democrat leaders were thinking and strategizing and planning, and brought along Republicans as they could.

I imagine it was breaking Biden’s heart to leave President Zelenskyy and Ukraine hanging.  Things take as long as they take, sometimes, and this took too damn long, but Biden hung in there, working to move things in the right direction.  While the middle east was exploding.

Planning and preparing for the moment there would be a breakthrough.  A good portion of weaponry stored just across the border in Poland.  That takes faith and good planning, and a willingness to see a possible positive outcome.

Proud to be a Democrat.  Open thread.
