“It seems like you don’t have my best interests at heart.”
This week’s Highland’s Bunker is a tough, unflinching view of the Delaware’s penal system from the inside. Tortious and dehumanizing by design, it is a system we all endorse every election day with our votes, and every non-election day with our silence.

Eugene Young, don’t primary the wrong person
I know I don’t have a say, but C’mon. The prospect of Hall-Long being anointed to fill Carney’s third and fourth lackluster terms is heartbreaking.
DeSantis Campaign Launch With Musk Ruined By Twitter Meltdown
Proving once again that satire is dead: Ron DeSantis’s long-awaited official entry into the 2024 presidential campaign went haywire for almost a half-hour on Wednesday during a glitch-filled livestream over Twitter. The technical problems eventually subsided but seriously marred what should have been a climactic moment for Mr. DeSantis, the combative 44-year-old governor of Florida […]
This Week’s Poll – The Runoff
It is more than a little anti-climatic now. With multiple sources confirming that Sarah McBride is running for Delaware’s seat in the House is Representatives, she is the prohibitive favorite for all the reasons I said she had an inside track on beating Carper in a primary. I suppose the new interesting question. becomes, what […]
DL Open Thread Wednesday May 24 2023
I wonder how this is going to play out. Will insurance companies increase premiums and claims payments to keep pace with climate change, or will they increase premiums while denying more claims? Hmmm…on second though, I don’t wonder how it will play out. Climate-driven floods, hurricanes, wildfires and heat waves cause billions of dollars of […]
DL Open Thread Tuesday May 23 2023
Phew… busy day for news nerds yesterday. Does anyone know if Buckson used the cover of Carper’s press conference to secede? No? Jesus, what’s the hold up? DelawareLive is a real shithole. Get a load of how they frame SB2 public comments: Senate Substitute 1 for Senate Bill 2, sponsored by Senate Majority Whip Elizabeth […]
Fait Accomplit
The drama came and went quickly like a summer thunderstorm. From Carper’s announcement that he had an announcement to make, to quitting, to two candidates basically sewing up their nominations less than 24 hours later. Per BlueDelaware:
The conventional wisdom has cemented the notion that Congresswoman Lisa Blunt Rochester will run for the Senate to succeed retiring Senator Tom Carper, thus clearly the field of any significant primary challengers, and it also seems very likely that State Senator Sarah McBride will run for Congress to succeed LBR. McBride has a strong enough statewide brand herself in the Democratic Party that she likely can clear the field of any competitive challengers herself.
DL Open Thread Monday May 22 2023
The Greatest…I mean Greediest Generation Perennially offered the short end of the stick, the pandemic turned out to be a double-edged sword for millennials. While some moved home, many were able to save up and come out of COVID-19 twice as wealthy as they were before it. This coincided with the generation reaching peak homebuying age, and the second […]
Last week’s poll results and this week’s poll
A majority (61%) of DL poll-ees are wrong about hot dogs. They are sandwiches. Onward. I’m leaving this week’s open for nominations until Wednesday or so, then the rest of the week will be a runoff with the top 3 or 4 battling it out to see… Who would you like to be Delaware’s next […]
Breaking – Carper to Spill the Beans Tomorrow
So many electoral rube goldberg contraptions will be set into motion tomorrow.
Comment Rescue – Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday wishes for your betrayal of retirees and pensioners, for your commitment to giving taxpayer money to the richest corporations in the world, for your dedication to keeping the wealthiest earners tax brackets among the lowest in the country, for allowing every scam-artist and grifter to form a shell company and launder ill-gotten gains, […]

Nobody could have predicted…
What Our Cutting-Edge State Democratic Party Is Up To
Fresh from my inbox: Kyle, (yes, guess I’m ‘Kyle’ now) Governor Carney makes us so proud everyday he leads our great state, and we are grateful for his decades of service to our beloved Delaware.
