Trump Thugs Literally Rewrote CDC Covid Guidelines.  Then dropped it onto the CDC website. One more independent government agency destroyed.

NJ To Approve ‘Millionaire’s Tax’.  If they did, we should be able to.  The impediment, I suspect?: John Carney, although he might be more receptive to it than Markell was.  But I think the new General Assembly may have the votes to do this. C’mon, guv, you know we need the money.

Ex-Administration Aides Endorse Biden.  Olivia TroyeJosh Venable.  This is the way to do it. Not in a book you’re saving for after the election.

Some Good Election Legal News For D’s:  Pa. Supreme Court Deals Triple Blow To RethugsFederal Judge Temporarily Stops Post Office Slowdown.  Due to a ‘politically motivated attack’ on the USPS. The Pennsylvania rulings are huge.  Absentee ballots to go out as soon as they’re printed.

Trump Nixed USPS Plan To Send Masks To Key Covid Hot Spots. Hey, more Covid deaths were preferable to ‘causing a panic’.

FBI: Russia Actively Engaged In Misinformation Campaign Against Biden. Also,  Director Wray said that Antifa is not a terrorist organization.  It’s the 2020 version of ACORN. Remember them?

Meatpacking Industry Wrote Executive Order Requiring Plants To Stay Open.  Talk about outsourcing…

Trump’s War Against Universal Mail-In Voting Has Failed.  That’s why his new message is ‘The election is rigged’.  His dismissal of early voting is a political gaffe of monumental proportions. Texas is the lone key holdout.  Only a matter of time there, though…

NCC FOP President Rips County Council.  Accuses council of ‘dividing police and the community’.  No. The FOP did that.  Endorsing Trump was a big FU to the people they’re sworn to protect.

Ray Seigfried Says What He Really Thinks.  While I voted for Larry Lambert, I retained a lot of respect for Ray.  I’ve just lost quite a bit of that respect.  From the linked article:

“They may have this ‘it’s my way or the highway’ attitude, and that’s not helpful,” said Rep. Raymond Seigfried, D-Brandywine Hundred, who lost his primary on Tuesday. “That will simply add to the chaos, similar to what we have in Washington. We don’t need that here. We really don’t.”

Wrong.  A first-term legislator lamenting a challenge to the Delaware Way?  His lopsided loss to Larry was well deserved.  Especially when ‘my way or the highway’ applies to Speaker Pete and Our PAL Val far more than to any progressive legislator.

What do you want to talk about?
