The campaign of sending crude homemade bombs to various Democrats and liberal icons reached Delaware today when authorities intercepted a suspicious package addressed to Joe Biden (as is typical in…

KATHLEEN MCGUINESS will roll over James Spadola in spite of her manifest weaknesses as a candidate for auditor. D Pickup LAURA STURGEON is still on track to narrowly beat Greg Lavelle in SD4: Leans D Pickup Ramone wishes the election was yesterday. Every passing day beings more bad news for team Ramone as voters learn more about what a dick he is. Still, for STEPHANIE BARRY it all comes down to a turnout: Leans D Pickup I know Davis is probably working her ass off, but it hasn't reached me. I just haven't seen enough campaigning from COLLEEN DAVIS to keep her race against creepy Ken Simpler a "toss up." I hope I'm wrong, but right now: Leans R Hold.  

All the hopefuls running for the Senate, attorney general, treasurer and auditor were present at a debate hosted by Delaware State University and the League of Women Voters, meaning there…

Unexploded bombs are like evidence Christmas gifts for law enforcement. So the FBI is going to catch the Republican terrorist in a matter of weeks. Eventually the leader of the…

By the way when all of this comes crashing down and the modest sums working people have been able to put in their 401ks turns in to Confederate script overnight, remember that Tom Carper has been on the banking committee this whole time and has heartily voted for our return to this cruel pantomime posing as an economy.

I hate being right about everything all the time. It is a burden.

Ramone and Lavelle's crimes notwithstanding, if they had displayed some political guts along the way they'd been in much better shape now. Simpler too. Just look at the guy. He…

Hmmm.... Trillions in junk debt categorized as "not junk" by for-profit debt rating agencies? Where have a heard that before? Chris Lehmann at The Baffler writes—Junk Merchants: WITH AMERICA’S POLITICAL…

If you're a conservative, you've probably heard by now that a Caravan of tens of thousands of MS-13 rapists and murderers is headed for the American border, planning to storm…

Polls don't really matter much in this race. It is all going to be turnout. And it is going to be tough for Ken to manipulate the usual GOP turnout…

Wait for it.... This series has been highlighted on John Oliver's HBO show.

Democrats and a lot of right thinking people across the political spectrum simply didn't believe that Trump could win. Our unshakable American faith in the founder's soaring rhetoric and the democratic process put us to sleep. And it helped put Trump over the top. The possibility of a Trump victory was too nuts get very worked up over. Even Hillary Clinton took her foot off the gas. If you really believe something is impossible it is hard to talk yourself into taking the possibility of it happening seriously. It isn't being lazy it is just being human. For all of his faults Trump has had one positive effect on the country. He has taught us that the impossibly absurd is totally possible if we fail to act. That's why so few Republicans are running unopposed this year. Nobody says, "It will all work out in the end." We don't have that luxury to be passengers on the bus anymore. Democrats may not win back congress. They may fall short in some close races. But one thing is certain. If we fail it will not be because we didn't take this mid-term election seriously. This is a movement, not an election. We are now awake.
