General Assembly Post-Game Wrap-Up/Pre-Game Show: Thursday, June 11, 2026
A (mostly) ‘just the facts, ma’am’ edition. Here’s yesterday’s Session Activity Report. Oooh, here’s a tidbit I missed yesterday. The Senate had previously unanimously passed SB 22 (Townsend), ‘the Fair Standards in Mental Health Care Act, (which) builds on previous work to advance mental health parity and aims to ensure patients with private insurance can […]
General Assembly Post-Game Wrap-Up/Pre-Game Show: Weds., June 10, 2026
Legislators can get a bill through the General Assembly in a matter of hours–from introduction to headed to the Governor’s Office–if they really want to. In other words, these two great (IMO) bills can and should make it through before the end of session. We discussed HB 444 (Lambert) yesterday. The bill seeks to protect […]
DL Open Thread: Wednesday, June 10, 2026
Ted ‘Horsey D’ Kittila Goes National. Well, international. Always knew he had it in him: One of President Trump’s lawyers is being sued for millions of dollars over his role in an international spying scandal. Ted Kittila, who used to work for Trump’s social media venture Truth Social, was sued in federal court for $120 […]
Krista’s Korporate Kabal Violates Delaware Election Law
They sent out one of those mailers–you know, a ‘Call Krista and Tell Her She’s the Bestest Legislator EVER’ piece. (Yes, I’ve seen the piece, can’t print it b/c it would reveal the recipient.) However, oopsies, they (we can guess who ‘they’ are, and we will) did not mention who paid for the piece. Despite […]
Delaware General Assembly Pre-Game Show: Tuesday, June 9, 2026
Time for the big finish, folks. Lots to do. Starting today. We’ve got some good, we’ve got some bad. In fact, on the very same Senate Agenda. The good? SB 271 (Sokola), which finally seeks to reign in the toxic power of pharmacy benefits managers. Among other things, the bill: ‘strengthens procedural protections for pharmacies, […]
Delaware Political Weekly: Week Ending June 4, 2026
Just when I think that we’re pretty much done with intriguing new developments, I’m proven wrong. At least wrong enough so that I’ve got items for yet another political weekly. 1. Sen. Mantzavinos Gets A Primary Challenger. Well, I didn’t hear about this until this morning, but he filed yesterday. So…I’m counting it. One Jose Lopez […]
Q: Who Owns Nnamdi Chukwuocha, Dan Cruce, Krista Griffith And Ray Seigfried?
Answer, albeit only a partial answer, is a Third Party Advertising PAC now running propaganda for this Delaware Way Quartet. Almost certainly to be expanding in scope. Before I get to the particulars, first let me tell you that such a PAC cannot specifically urge you to vote for a candidate, and cannot coordinate with […]
Delaware Political Weekly: Week Ending May 28, 2026
1. Lobbyist Bundling Party For Cruce And Nnamdi Postponed. Was supposed to take place on Tuesday at the Columbus Inn. Was postponed, no new date set. Was it postponed because it was a ‘bad look’? It really doesn’t matter. The same lobbyists, many of them carrying checks from literally dozens of their clients, will make […]
Delaware Political Weekly: Week Ending May 21, 2026
1. Stephanie Bolden Draws Legit Progressive Challenger. Lest you’ve forgotten who Bolden is, please allow me to reintroduce her to you: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DLqfsYdMsmz/?igsh=MWlwbXU1dXkwNm1qcg%3D%3D I now introduce you to…Michelle Booker. This part of her statement particularly impresses me: What I see in District 2 now breaks my heart. The drugs, the violence, the sex trafficking, families losing […]
General Assembly Post-Game Wrap-Up/Pre-Game Show: Thursday, May 21, 2026
Here is yesterday’s Session Activity Report. Looks like all the bills on yesterday’s Senate Agenda passed without controversy. I haven’t checked today’s agendas yet. However, the General Assembly will be out of session for the next two weeks for budget mark-up. OK, with that out of the way, let’s see what goodies await us today. […]
General Assembly Post-Game Wrap-Up/Pre-Game Show: Wednesday, May 20, 2026
The big news, of course, is that the watered-down version of the so-called health care cost containment bill unanimously passed the Senate. While it does place some requirements on insurers (good), the substitute bill that passed largely added language written by, and for, ChristianaCare. We covered this in today’s Open Thread, where I linked to […]
Delaware General Assembly Pre-Game Show: Tuesday, May 19, 2026
The Big News? The substitute bill supposedly designed to control hospital healthcare costs will finally make it to the floor today. Having its priorities straight, the Senate will first rubber-stamp three of the annual corporate bills that contain language far exceeding any legislator’s ability to understand what’s in them. Here is today’s Senate Agenda. OK, […]
Delaware Political Weekly: Week Ending May 14, 2026
Well–not exactly. This article has been embargoed until after 9 am because of Breaking News. I won’t keep you waiting long–in fact, not at all. 1. FOUR Delaware Progressive candidates secure major national endorsements: Kira Alejandro has been endorsed by Run for Something (RFS), a national organization that recruits and supports the next generation of […]
