Why do Republicans keep losing statewide by such lopsided margins in Delaware? Nefarious interference by the ghost of Hugo Chávez? DEGOP candidates and polices are widely hated by voters? I…

Covid-19 vaccine for children ages 5-11 takes a step closer.  (Which means the same idiots just took two steps backwards). A 'Missing White Girl!' story dominated the weekend.  Meanwhile Native American women are missing, murdered and sexually assaulted at rates as high as 10 times the average in the United States—crimes overwhelmingly committed by individuals outside the Native American community. Ted Lasso is a very good TV program.    And yet, I'm a little queasy about how streaming services model is taking over TV. Floor is yours. I'm sure there is some campaign news someone wants to break here.

A Facebook commenter noticed something fishy about Murray's campaign. “Patriots 4 Delaware” is not a nonprofit PAC but a for-profit corp whose registered agent shares Murray’s firm’s address.  This is…

McGuinness apparently asked to speak to a Republican Women's group about her anticipated run for Gov, and got a big "Fuck no, you are a Democrat." I know, right.  So…

These fucking shithead Republicans are going around saying that Delaware elections are fraudulent.  Can't we pass something that makes Republicans have a tough vote between these nut jobs and the…

I confess that teenage me was not into watching "This Is Tom Jones," the variety show the Welsh belter hosted from 1969 to 1971. I was too young to realize…

You know how to tell your precious American democracy is already dead? When the guy who has to save it turns out to be Dan Quayle. Yes, that Dan Quayle.…

How uninterested is the GOP in actually governing? They really could care less about the actual work of government. By all outward appearances, they are only interested in fucking shit…

COVID is coming for MAGAfuckhead radio hosts like it is Colin Bonini being called to supper.   I have't listened to Jensen for years, but I have to think that he is still watching Sean Hannity every night and parroting everything he hears over the airwaves everyday. (The easiest job in radio, provided you have no scruples.) Which means he is debating the undebatable science around vaccinations, and generally passing along wingnut anti-vax nonsense under the dishonest ruse of "just asking the question." So...should someone check in on Jensen?

In recent weeks, several popular conservative talk radio hosts — including Phil Valentine of Nashville, Tennessee, and Marc Bernier of Daytona Beach, Florida, both longtime fixtures in their communities — died from Covid-19 after vocally opposing vaccination or questioning its value.

Distinction  Without a Difference Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett, long-groomed for the role by conservative groups, picked by Donald Trump, then rammed into the chair by the GOP House…

I'm sure Chris Coons could find some middle-ground here.  Maybe republicans can consider poisoning only half of the well? Republican candidate Larry Elder, who has the best chance of unseating Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom in California's gubernatorial recall election, is already preparing to dispute the results with escalating talks of "voter fraud" in the days leading up to election day.

Why is Manchin described as a "moderate" in this story? Joe Manchin, the moderate Democrat standing in the way of Joe Biden’s signature $3.5tn spending bill, insisted again on Sunday he would not support the package, declaring the price tag too high and White House efforts to speed its passage too hasty.
