Delaware Progressives Hit The Big Time–or, at least, CNBC:
A progressive wing of the Democratic Party in Delaware is endorsing primary opponents to six incumbent Democratic state lawmakers who pushed for a change to the state’s corporate law that benefits executives and billionaires, including Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg, who have faced shareholder litigation in the state.
The Delaware Working Families Party told CNBC exclusively that it is endorsing six Democratic candidates in primaries against fellow Democratic incumbents who supported SB 21. The measure became law in 2025 and was dubbed the “billionaires bill” by opponents. The law altered how companies can use independent directors and other officials to ensure deals they’ve made will pass muster in court, and it limited the records shareholders can obtain from companies when investigating possible wrongdoing.
Before the bill became law, many institutional investors, legal scholars and shareholders’ attorneys opposed it, arguing it would harm minority shareholders and allow boards and executives to make decisions based on their own interests rather than for the broader investor base.Musk, whose record $56 billion pay package was in legal limbo in Delaware, relocated Tesla’s incorporation out of state during the spat. Many other businesses considered similar moves, spooking the state’s lawmakers, as Delaware, despite being a heavily Democratic state, has long been viewed as a haven for business.
The Working Families Party, prominent in New York politics and expanding in other states, said the endorsements are part of its effort to move Delaware “more in the direction of working class people.”
“We want to make sure that people know the effects that this bill has had and is going to have on hurting accountability for corporations and basically handing Elon Musk $55 billion when he was in the process … of gutting federal agencies that are saving millions of lives overseas and also laying off a bunch of Delawareans here at home,” Karl Stomberg, Delaware state director for the Working Families Party, told CNBC.
A Delaware corporate firm (the one that contributes oodles of cash to Krista Griffith) that has represented Musk had a hand in drafting the bill, as CNBC previously reported.
Specifically, the WFP is endorsing four candidates for the state House of Representatives and two candidates for the state Senate. All are running in primaries against incumbent Democrats.
It’s endorsing Shané Darby, who is taking on Rep. Nnamdi Chukwuocha; Rae Krantz, who is running against Rep. Debra Heffernan (WAS running against Heffernan, now running against a shill for his lobbyist supporters); Pamela Salaam who is running against Rep. Frank Cooke; Will Imbrie-Moore over Rep. Kim Williams; Adriana Bohm over Sen. Dan Cruce, and Shay Frisby in her race against Sen. Ray Seigfried.
Oh, well, guess that blows the cover off my embargoed article scheduled to appear later this morning. My article, however, has links to all of these progressive challengers. Meaning, you can contribute to their campaigns once it’s posted.
‘Cannon Fodder’. Greg Bovino’s description of protestors. Featuring what semi well-known Delawarean?:
Former Border Patrol official Greg Bovino can’t keep away from the limelight.
After the operation he oversaw in Minneapolis — one of several he conducted with a position out of the chain of command — saw two protestors killed by federal agents, he left the government. That hasn’t kept him away from becoming a fascist influencer.
In a lengthy interview this week with a program called “Died Suddenly” — a spinoff program from the creators of the 2022 anti-vax film by the same name, produced by far-right figure Stew Peters, who runs an extremist media empire — hosts Lauren Witzke and Edward Szall asked Bovino about the “Renee Good types” and “what were the American protestors like?”
“Cannon fodder,” Bovino replied.
More Weird Trump Shit. Gee, wonder who will be the centerpiece of his ‘National Garden Of American Heroes’…:
President Trump’s vision for his National Garden of American Heroes is growing larger and most likely more expensive than his initial estimates, with the latest plans calling for reflecting pools, dining facilities and an amphitheater alongside 250 life-size statues of notable Americans.
The plans have expanded to the point that they could require significant redevelopment of West Potomac Park, an area of mostly sports fields near the National Mall, according to documents obtained by The New York Times. The statues alone could cost more than the $40 million approved for the project by Congress, according to the Trump administration’s estimate.
Based on the latest renderings, the Garden of Heroes could rank among the more expensive and time-consuming projects Mr. Trump has undertaken as he works to remake the nation’s capital in his own style.
Construction has yet to begin, raising questions about whether Mr. Trump will run out of time — and money — to deliver on his ambitions before the end of his second term. If Mr. Trump were to solicit donor funds, as he has done with his ballroom project, it could renew ethical concerns about attempts to court favor with the White House.
W-wait, Congress already approved $40 mill for this boondoggle?
The War Powers Resolution of 1973 requires presidents to remove U.S. forces from any conflict that Congress has not authorized within 60 days of the White House notifying Congress of hostilities — a deadline that Trump hit on Friday.
Trump wrote in his letter to lawmakers Friday that the conflict has been effectively over since the United States and Iran agreed last month to a ceasefire.
“There has been no exchange of fire between United States Forces and Iran since April 7, 2026,” Trump wrote in the letter, obtained by The Washington Post. “The hostilities that began on February 28, 2026, have terminated.”
The president’s argument echoed what Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said Thursday in testimony before the Senate Armed Services Committee. Trump also suggested Friday that he believes the requirement to withdraw U.S. forces within 60 days is unconstitutional.
“Most people consider it totally unconstitutional,” Trump told reporters. “Also, we had a ceasefire, so that gives you additional time.”
I suspect this charade will keep enough Rethug lapdogs satisfied to forestall any more votes on the subject, for the time being. But a charade it is.
Yet Another Loaded Diaper? Guess it’s required if you wanna look Presidential in this administration:
What do you want to talk about?
