Meanwhile, in New Jersey…
Indicted Sen. “Gold Bar Bob” Menendez refuses to resign, but nobody expects him to survive a primary for his seat. Yet so far only one office-holder, U.S. Rep. Andy Kim, has stepped forward to announce a challenge to the scandal-plagued incumbent. As this story recounts, it’s not for lack of people who want a higher […]
Reflecting on 18 years of DL & Thanks
Well, it looks like I picked a heck of a day to hang it up, but this is it for me. My last post. 18 years is a long time, so I have some people to thank. For everyone I name I’m going to forget tons of people, so just know that if you’ve been […]
DL Open Thread Friday, Sept. 29, 2023
Considering the pointlessness of the entire spectacle – all the challengers combined don’t reach Trump’s share of the Republican voters – the media sure is spilling a lot of pixels talking about the GOP gabfest. I’m not linking to any of it because I don’t want to encourage them. Besides, only 9.3 million people tuned […]
DL Open Thread Thursday, Sept. 28, 2023
Trump’s business empire is in legal jeopardy over his constant lying, but lying is all he knows how to do, so he’s still at it. He gave a speech to a bunch of non-union auto workers and scabs last night but had a bunch of them carry UAW signs. But Philip Bump of the Washington […]

Last Week’s Poll Results and This Week’s Poll
Only 2 readers and lurkers have ever been displaced by fire or flood. 95% of us haven’t been displaced yet. Aren’t we lucky? This is a poll I’d like to do every year for the next 20 years. Alas, ain’t nobody got time for that. As if to underscore that sentiment – here is a […]
DL Open Thread Tuesday September 26 2023
I’ll be adding to thins open thread this afternoon, but in the meantime listen to this Highland’s Bunker. In the best tradition of Highlands Bunker, it is an eyeopener in terms of further opening your eyes on topics you think they were already fully open on, such as Universal vs Means Tested programs. 4 DAYS AGO AT 8:00 […]
Won’t anyone think of the children!?!
I feel like everything I link to nowadays can run under the Headline: We Are so Fucked WE WILL NEVER STOP FIGHTING FOR YOUUUUUUU Brian’s writing about the general age issue here, but there is a persistent broader disconnect between the desperate rhetoric of, for example, fundraising emails, and the (lack of) urgency with which […]

Uh… Lots of stuff happened, but I overslept so here are some hastily assembled headlines: Here is your thanksgiving dinner topic. Enjoy trying to tell your father in law that this law doesn’t mandate sex changes. Newsom OKs gender-neutral bathrooms in California schools ———-//———- Climate change, blah blah blah… we’re fucked. Saltwater intrusion threatens New […]
DL Open Thread Sunday, Sept. 24, 2023
More evidence that once the fetus is out he’s on his own: Texas’ razor-wired Rio Grande has claimed three more victims, one of them a 3-year-old. The Rude Pundit nails it, as usual: Republicans don’t stand up to Trump because, tough guys that they are, they’re a-skeered of his violent followers. Still won’t lock them […]
DL Open Thread Saturday, Sept. 23, 2023
If you ever decide to hide ill-gotten gains, be smarter than “Gold Bar Bob” Menendez. When stashing cash in the pockets of your jackets, don’t choose one with your name embroidered on it. Also, when googling the price of gold, use “per ounce” in the search field rather than “per kilo.” For his part, Menendez […]
