Memo To BHL: Opioids Hazardous To Your Political Health
Karl Baker captures Bethany Hall Long’s utter incompetence in screwing up one of the only things she’s responsible for. Featuring unusually harsh language from the Attorney General.

The Big Story: Police Athletic League Of Delaware: $200,000 Jobs For Delaware Graduates: $1,395,197 (!!) That’s the funding that these two agencies will receive through the Grants-In-Aid bill. Two agencies run by two unqualified state legislators who receive their undeserved salaries and benefits because they feed at the public trough in an unethical manner to […]
Pride Goeth Before The Gavel Falls
Guest Post By The MoMo: Happy Pride Month from the Delaware General Assembly! Horrified onlookers will see the sarcasm in that title, as the General Assembly has a long way to go down the rainbow road. While there are efforts to improve the state for LGBT+ residents, many are annual (updating definitions), others don’t make […]
Delaware Political Weekly: June 21-27, 2024
1. Yo, Collin. It’s Time! There has been, to put it charitably, a dearth of visible political activity from you. Haven’t gotten any updates from you even though I’ve contributed. I mean, even photos from events you’re attending, something just to show that you’re, um, attending events. The latest update on your Facebook page is from […]
General Assembly Post-Game Wrap-Up/Pre-Game Show: Thursday, June 27, 2024
The Big Story: General Assembly Hands John Carney His Lovely Parting Gift. While I don’t know if any senators will vote against the veto override of HB 282, I know that the veto will be overridden.

1. Meaningless Endorsements. We’re in Captain Obvious territory here: Any endorsements that take place after a primary has been resolved are meaningless. Or, in some cases, pathetic. Or perhaps you missed the e-mail that John Carney has now endorsed Sarah McBride. Yo, John, you endorsed Eugene Young. Everybody knows that you and Sarah get along […]
Delaware General Assembly Pre-Game Show: Thurs., June 20, 2024
Yeah, I understand. The Budget Bill and a Supplemental Appropriations bill will be considered today. But the Big Story is that this may well be the day that Paul Baumbach realizes his crowning legislative achievement. I’m not sure how many years it’s been, but his ceaseless work on behalf of a Death With Dignity statute […]

Due to Juneteenth tomorrow, there are only two scheduled session days this week. However, both agendas are jam-packed, as are the committee schedules. No time to waste. Pour yourselves another cuppa, and settle in for awhile. Whoa. Just look at that House Agenda. Where to begin? At the beginning–if only for a Teaching Moment and […]
Yikes! Matt Meyer Channels His Inner Black Preacher…

BHL’s Corruption: It’s Not A Bug, It’s A Feature.
More essential reporting from Cris Barrish and WHYY News. Read the article: Delaware gubernatorial candidate Bethany Hall Long has taken $25,000 in donations that exceed legal limit This would be bad enough when taken by itself. However, when you consider the ‘borrowing’ of something like $200 K from donors, the alleged ‘audit’ that she won’t […]
