State Of Delaware Sues Amazon While State Of Delaware Throws Money At Amazon
To be specific, Delaware AG Kathleen Jennings has joined other state AG’s and the Federal government in suing Amazon while the Carney Administration’s privatized economic development scam agency continues to gift the behemoth with taxpayer dollars ostensibly for ‘jobs’.

DL Open Thread: Friday, September 15, 2023
UAW Goes On Strike Against Detroit’s ‘Big Three’. BTW, ‘Stellantis’ (a combination of ‘Stella!’ and ‘Atlantis’?) is the nom du jour of what used to be Chrysler. How did this fact escape me? The UAW members deserve our support: Never before has the United Auto Workers union carried out a simultaneous work stoppage at all […]

Worst Delaware Governor In Recent History Endorses…
…Bethany Hall Long. Meaning, it’s official. No way I can support her. Eight more years of being led around by the Chamber? Eight more years of being led around by the cops? Eight more years of self-imposed budgetary constraints? Eight more years of putting the brakes on progressive initiatives? If you want eight more years […]

DE’s Most Intriguing Legislative Races Of 2024: #6–RD 28
I doubt that any legislator has been less distinguished, yet wielded as much power, as Lumpy Carson. At least in recent times. He has been Pete ‘n Val’s Useful Idiot during their reign of terror against their own caucus and Democratic principles. Long-time House head of the Joint Finance Committee, chair and/or member of any […]
DE’s Most Intriguing Legislative Races Of 2024: #7–RD 2
I could do #’s 5, 6 and 7 in pretty much any order. We’re talking three absolutely abysmal incumbents with no (so far) challengers, either announced or rumored. I’ve ordered them from those doing (IMO) the least damage to those doing the most damage. They, all, however, have done significant damage. Career hack Stephanie Bolden […]
The ‘Occasional’ Delaware Political Weekly: August 18, 2023
Two ‘occasional’ political weekly pieces in the same week? Yes. The main reason? Item #1: 1. Something Stinks In Newark.

What/Who Is First State Educate/First State Action Fund, And Why Have They Hired A Convicted Felon As Executive Director?
Oh, and not just any convicted felon, but one who ran afoul of the law while destroying Puerto Rico’s public schools? All in due time… It looks like First State Educate and First State Action Fund were set up to grab as many COVID education $$’s as possible: Over the past two years, every district […]
DE’s Most Intriguing Legislative Races Of 2024: #9-RD 10
Imagine a state representative who retired, but never bothered to tell anybody. No need to imagine it when your state rep is Sean Matthews. Oh, he hasn’t technically retired. He still mostly goes to Dover, votes for Pete ‘n Val, opposes strong gun safety legislation. And, here’s the point, does virtually nothing else. Now understand […]
