DL Open Thread Friday, Feb. 20, 2026
Spotlight Delaware unveiled a major project yesterday that assesses the statewide reassessment that has gored many an ox. Not surprisingly, it found that poor people and minorities got hit the hardest. The data, compiled through Freedom of Information Act requests by Spotlight Delaware and mapped in partnership with Tech Impact’s Data Lab, show that in […]

“We are kings of our bikes. So, we are again really lucky to live in Rehoboth, when we park a car, we have to get back into the car. We can hop on our bikes and our ritual is that we are always biking from our home to L(ewe)s. We do a little bit of […]
Taxpayer-Funded Bribes Could Only Keep Incyte Here–Until Today
Breaking News from WDEL: Less than two years after buying two downtown Wilmington properties known as Bracebridge I and III on 11th Street at King and French streets, Incyte Corporation announced on Tuesday afternoon, February 11, 2026, that they are selling the buildings to Buccini Pollin Group (BPG).

DL Open Thread Sunday Magazine: Feb. 8, 2026
Why the Internet sucks, and what we can do about it. A real deep dive, perfect for a lazy Sunday morning: It’s clear something has gone so wrong. But what do we do about it? My guests today have two theories. Cory Doctorow is a longtime blogger, an activist with the Electronic Frontier Foundation and […]

BREAKING BIG NEWS!!: DNREC Says That Proposed Data Center Violates Coastal Zone Act
Reader Drew Knox (hmmm, Drew Knox–I wonder…Sen. Andy Knox was a key proponent, and sponsor, of The Coastal Zone Act) beat me to it. But it is, in fact, true. From the Spotlight Delaware report: Delaware’s environmental agency ruled Wednesday morning that a plan for a massive data center near Delaware City is not allowed under […]

General Assembly Post-Game Wrap-Up/Pre-Game Show: Thursday, January 29, 2026
Credit where credit’s due: In a building where anybody with access to knowledge is a prospective leaker, the stealth veto overrides by the Senate was a masterstroke. The bleatings of Eric Buckson tell us that the Senate Rethugs weren’t clued in, not that it mattered. I suspect, though, that the secrecy was aimed more at […]
Delaware General Assembly Pre-Game Show: Wednesday, January 28, 2026
(Author’s Note: I originally wrote the first part of this on Monday evening. I’ve saved it for posterity because, well, I’m lazy.) I’m writing this under the assumption that the General Assembly will actually meet today. Were Terry Spence still the Speaker Of The House, session would already be canceled. Terry was legendary for calling […]

General Assembly Post-Game Wrap-Up/Pre-Game Show: Thursday, January 22, 2026
I was wrong. The Hospital Cost Containment Board legislation is not the only bill that the leaders have decided must pass by the end of next week. Two bills designed to give NCC tools to address inequities in the New Castle County reassessment project are on today’s Senate Agenda, and are certain to be fast-tracked […]
