Poll Results – 6 in 10 DL readers and lurkers think Senator Chris Coons is the ABSOLUTE worst
Not a surprising result when you consider the fact that Senator Chris Coons likes to show off being horrible, whereas Carper has a more ho-hum, workaday approach to being one of the two worst Blue State Senators in congress.
As for this week's poll. I'll be curious to see how Karen Hartley-Nagle fares. Whoever read her the riot act after her constant fuckups early on deserves an award of some sort. I've never seen a Delaware politician rescue their viability by simply shutting the fuck up.
Marcus Henry Vs. Karen Hartley-Nagle who do you THINK WILL WIN? Not who do you want to win.

Groping desperately for an excuse to ban mifepristone nationally, Trump judge Matthew Kacsmaryk may rule that the drug is obscene
There is something obscene about religious zealots being allowed to make healthcare decisions for the entire country.
Abortion pill mifepristone ruling in Texas case could hinge on 1873 Comstock Act
-
U.S. District Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk raised the Comstock Act repeatedly in last week’s hearing in the case challenging FDA approval of mifepristone.
-
The 1873 Comstock Act declared “obscene” materials as not mailable, including drugs advertised for use in abortions.
-
The Comstock Act hasn’t been enforced in decades. The DOJ says it doesn’t ban mail delivery of mifepristone, citing court cases that narrowed the law’s scope.
-
But Kacsmaryk could potentially issue an order invoking the Comstock Act to roll back FDA regulatory changes that allowed mifepristone mail delivery.
