The Knee-Jerks Didn’t Like This: The Trump administration has approved a new generic version of the mifepristone abortion pill, a decision made by the Food and Drug Administration this week that is now prompting uproar among antiabortion leaders.

Delaware Political Weekly: Week Ending October 2, 2025
1. Dan Cruce Wants You To Know That He Reallyreallyreally Lives In Wilmington: He just resurfaced there after having been invisible since, well, since the Special Election. He’s trumpeting his Wilmington residency in a hastily-started door-to-door. Far be it from me to raise any questions about where he lives. I’ll leave that task to Dan […]

Gonna have to make this quick –Delmarva is doing maintenance work, and we’ll be w/o power starting at 8 am. I’ve poured myself a double (shot of TJ’s Cold Brew), so I should at least be semi-lucid. President Will Make Blue States Suffer During Shutdown. Hey, he’s already fighting the new Civil War, if you, […]

Welcome, Blue Delaware Reader(s?)! Y’know, I used to joke that, in those rare instances when we broke a story over here, Blue Delaware would have it in 3-2-1, without attribution. Guess I’ve gotta come up with a new joke. That guy was a serial plagiarizer, presumably because he never came up with even a sentence […]
‘Bulo’s Fave Tunes: September 2025
A pleasingly-eclectic month. (Pleasing and eclectic to me. YMMV. Let me know.) Proof that their last one wasn’t a fluke: A Rorschach Test Song For You: What do you think?: Best Band In America? Suitably strange as well: For those of you new to Georgia Maq and perhaps the musical DNA of this blog, this […]

Whoa–Blue Delaware Gets Outed–And How
Just-wow. Got this in my e-mailbox this morning. I’m cutting and pasting the entire thing because I couldn’t find it on the Downballot website: I discovered something yesterday that gutted me: A site called Blue Delaware has been stealing our content all year—verbatim, hundreds of words at a time—and publishing it as their own. After […]

The Real Reason Trump Invaded Portland: Portland authorities are in a standoff with the Trump administration over an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) detention facility in the Oregon city, after an investigation found the administration is using the facility for overnight detentions, in violation of its city-issued permits. The standoff comes amid threats from Donald […]

I think that Trump’s madness is hitting critical mass. This might well be the week when enough people wake up and realize that he is utterly unfit to be President. There are just too many signs of his descent into insanity for even the press, and perhaps, Rethugs, to ignore. I’m serious. Pretty sure the first Trump […]

How To Grow Your Own Meat (Not A Penile Enlargement Come-On): The Shojinmeat Project helps people grow their own meat, almost like a plant, without an animal having to die.

A Very Special Absolute Corruption Edition: Trump Fired US Attorney For Following The Law: For 15 years, Michele Beckwith oversaw some of the toughest federal prosecutions in California.

Trump Prosecutes Political Enemies. Remember the events–prosecutor declines to go after Comey and Letitia James because the cases are either weak or non-existent. Trump fires him, replaces him with someone with no prosecutorial experience: A federal grand jury on Thursday indicted James B. Comey, the former F.B.I. director, a culmination of President Trump’s relentless demand […]
