London (CNN)UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has set out his plan to lift most of England's remaining coronavirus restrictions by mid-July, despite warnings from some experts that the current surge…

This "still on holiday" open thread is brought to you by the idiot who paid for a banner to fly over the beach here two times a day that reads:…

Lacking social equity provisions, sham weed legalization failed in Delaware. Good. Next time bring back a real legalization bill by cutting the corrupt Delaware way out altogether.

As of today, it is legal to grow marijuana plants in your home or yard in New Mexico: up to six of them each, according to a law passed in a special session of the state legislature, with a cap of 12 plants per household. People 21 or older may possess up to 2 ounces (56 grams) of marijuana, and the smell of marijuana is no longer probable cause for cops wanting to search property, including vehicles.

New Mexico is the new model. Cut out the cops and fucking capitalist ghouls and let's demand actual legalization. Not some bogus bullshit legalization.

Jim was one of the early Howard Dean Meetup-ers and helped us get PDD off the ground when the Dean campaign ended. He was a clear thinking, tough-minded liberal who always took on more than his fair share. I got this notification from 9th RD Chair, Kevin Caneco.

It is with great sadness, I bring news tonight that Jim Young, lion of the 8th RD, has passed. Jim was a long time member and leader within the Delaware Democratic Party, and more importantly, a loving Dad, neighbor, and community leader. I remember meeting Jim when I first joined the RD and how welcoming he was to me and my family. He wanted to tell me all about the MOT community and to make sure I supported the local library! Jim was one of a kind, a quiet, competent, driven individual who had nothing to prove in a world where egos can seem to be everywhere. He cared about his community, his country, and his party. I will miss Jim, and I know you all will as well. As more information comes out about his services, we will be sure to pass it on. Kevin Caneco

Yeah, this open thread last sold 8 years ago for $290,000 but we have had a lot of interest in it. A lot. We'll be looking at multiple offers and even though it is listed at $350,000 we think it might go for $425,0000.

The last guy had horrible, unpopular ideas.  And yet he got some shit done because he didn't spend anytime trying to cajole or bargain with any mother-fuckers. Also in today's open thread - gun violence that happens to other people, giving $19 million in tax money away to a massively wealthy Chinese drug Co., and being maskless was nice while it lasted.

He is so fucking thirsty for Coonsian Bipartisanship that McConnell has him by the balls in a is squeezing.  It is nauseating to watch. McConnell attacks Democrats' infrastructure strategy, threatening…
