Massive Embezzlement From DHSS Sparks Changes. One little tidbit I took away from the story–the embezzlement of $1.3 mill wasnn’t revealed to the public until a year after the crime was discovered. BTW, isn’t this something the State Auditor could/should have identified if he was merely doing his job? BTWBTW, nice convenient weekend news dump […]

Did Nicole Poore Double Her Own Salary At Jobs For Delaware Graduates?
That’s one of only two possibilities. Neither of which paints her stewardship of this worthless organization in a positive light. This rundown of JDG’s 501(c)(3) returns raises an obvious question. Which one of these is not like the others?: $112,485 $112,030 $116,940 $111,700 $110,610 $202,635. (Cue music). OK, you’re probably saying, El Som, you’ve lost […]

Trump As Victim. If you ever want to understand the symbiotic relationship between King Cheeto and his most rabid supporters, you need to understand their shared victimization. If you’ve read Hillbilly Elegy by JD Vance, you’re aware of the self-proclaimed victimization of that poor white core of his base. While it’s a sympathetic portrayal, Vance’s […]

How Charter Schools Buy Political Support. Pssst, legislators profiting off of charter schools is not, um, coincidental. Trump Actions Triggering Health Premium Increases. Highest proposed premium increase?: Wilmington, Delaware. You read that right. Trini: You have the hammer. Use it. It’s Not Affirmative Action That’s Depriving Asian Americans Of College Placements. It’s privileged whites. Searching […]

Judge Wharton: “No E-Mails For YOU”: Markell found a way around FOIA, judge who Markell appointed rules that shielding correspondence from the public is legal. A lot of the Delaware Way in that decision. And then there’s Chip Flowers… North Carolina To Sue DuPont And Chemours. Turns out that Wilmington DE is not the only […]

The Long Transperfect Nightmare Could Be Over. Hey, at least they dropped some nice advertising bucks in Delaware. And likely into Colin Bonini’s campaign coffers. Climate Change Is Real.

Dog Bites Man: Biden Wants To Be President. Or at least wants to be talked about as wanting to be President. Especially with that lucrative book deal… Bibi’s Legal Problems Mount As Former Chief Of Staff Flips. Like Trump, (a) he throws red meat (uh, pork is not a red meat) to his right-wing base […]

Mo’ Better Dems: Andria Bennett, RD 32
You knew this one was coming. Failure to field a progressive challenger in this district would be political malpractice. The District.

Trump Came Up With Jr’s Phony Russian Meeting Meme. More orphan than not. Dictated the memo about how Junior should lie while on Air Force One. Sounds like Obstruction of Justice to me. Must-read of the day. Administration still leaking like a sieve. BTW, Trump’s lawyer had specifically asserted that the President was not involved in […]
