NRA Now Pro Violence Against Women
If it isn’t already, the NRA should now be more toxic than a half pound of ham, wrapped in an ebola monkey’s diaper & left in a car trunk for the month of July.
In a sane world, any Delaware elected official that still takes the blood money and remains beholden to the NRA should be instantly unelectable. And that goes double for Democrats in safe D districts like Johnson and Bennett.
Dems Face Uphill Slog To Win Senate In 2020 – But Don’t Worry, They’ll Make a Tough Situation Worse
History tells us that a strong progressive platform, based on policies that are proven to be widely popular throughout the country, will help Schumer recruit competitive Senate candidates.
History, also tells us that Dems will ignore that reality, and sabotage their chances of taking the Senate by adopting a platform based on watering down popular progressive policies until they are 99% water.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Teresa Tomlinson is a former mayor of a mid-sized city with no national profile. Yet she hopes she’ll be national Democrats’ top recruit to run for the Senate from Georgia next year — if one of the party’s rising stars, Stacey Abrams, takes a pass.
“I feel comfortable I’ll be their Plan B,” says Tomlinson, 54, the first female mayor of Columbus, a minority-majority community and one of Georgia’s largest cities.
Nineteen months from Election Day, a political eternity during which plenty can change, Democrats are looking at Plan B in Senate races around the country. Even in a campaign cycle that looks far more promising than last year’s, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto, D-Nev., who heads the party’s Senate campaign arm, have struggled to recruit candidates who are battle-tested statewide.

Another May Deal Fails, Brexit-pocalypse 14 days out – It is up to the Queen now
I, Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God, of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and of my other Realms and Territories Queen, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith’, have something to say on this Brexit shit. Now I’m not ordering anybody to do anything, let’s make that clear. […]
Joe Biden Is a Hands-On Candidate
The case against Joe Biden for president is about to get stronger. This afternoon New York magazine’s The Cut published an account by Lucy Flores, a 2014 Democratic candidate for lieutenant governor of Nevada, of Joe Biden’s “awkward” and unwanted kiss on the head just before she spoke at a political rally. This is about […]
Looming Gerrrymander battle demonstrates how Dems bring flowers to gun fights
Read this then join me below for some venting. (VIA TPM) To hear Scott Walker tell it, Republicans are up against the ropes. Last week, the former Wisconsin governor officially became the fundraising chairman for one of the main GOP groups focused on drawing maps for Congress and state legislatures. As Walker put it, his […]
Coons (D+) and Carper (F) working hand in glove with McConnell to pack Fed courts with conservatives
Coon and Carper are not on our side. They collaborating with Trump and McConnell to pack federal courts with conservative judges. Demand Justice has the story: Since taking office, Donald Trump has been hard at work remaking the federal courts in his own image. Our courts are supposed to protect the rights of all Americans, […]
Delaware Gun Nuts Urged to Call Their Senators Re HB63 – But Why?
A gun nut site that I don’t want to link to is urging readers to help protect the right of irresponsible gun owners to act irresponsibly. That’s predicable, but someone help out understanding this part of it: The gun nut’s opposition is based on the “fact” that HB63 makes it impossible for gun nuts to […]
Lisa Blunt Rochester Sent a Letter
Your rep in Congress would like you to know that she sent a letter to U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services. What she did with the other 97% of her workday remains shrouded in mystery.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Congresswoman Lisa Blunt Rochester (DE-AL) led all Energy and Commerce Committee Democrats in sending a letter to U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) Alex Azar and Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Administrator Seema Verma. The letter calls for HHS and CMS to make public any and all documents, including results of studies, briefing presentations, and data sets, including econometric models and individual-level experiments, regarding the effectiveness of marketing and outreach efforts for the Affordable Care Act.
“If we are to stabilize the Affordable Care Act, we need to take a 360-degree approach that revisits the cost of prescription drugs, how we incentivize new states to establish state-based markets, and how we attract younger, healthy people to sign up and get covered,” said Congresswoman Blunt Rochester.

Time for a “Moms Demand Action” primary challenge of the NRA’s Quin Johnson & Andria Bennett
The NRA is on the run in Delaware and it is time to drive the blood-soaked caucus out of the state once and for all. Moms Demand Action has been very effective and the logical next step will be setting up candidates to primary these Democrats who toe the NRA line: Andria Bennett Bill […]
Biden Condemns ‘White Man’s Culture’
One of Joe Biden’s quirks is that he thinks nobody notices when he changes. He’s had two hair-plug operations and an eye job, but nobody ever talks about it so he thinks nobody noticed. Now that he’s running for president as the only Democrat in the field who voted for the war in Iraq, he’s […]
2020 is the only play and it always has been
This dude knows what’s going on. And this from TPM: In the late 19th and early 20th century, German military strategy, influenced by the work of the historian Hans Delbrück, became obsessed with the distinction between Ermattungsstrategie (exhausting strategy or more loosely attrition strategy) and Niederwerfungsstrategie (knockout strategy). This distinction played itself out in history […]
Delaware is Solidly Blue, So Why is Coons Running as Republican-Lite?
Coons has built a brand ID in the Senate as the GOP’s favorite Democrat. That makes no sense when you look at the state that he was elected to represent. 538.com’s “Partisan Lean” is the average difference between how a state voted and how the country voted overall. Delaware is 13% more Democratic than the […]
