Trump’s ‘Army Of Sore Losers’. Rethug candidates who got smoked, but fight on in court. Pathetic.
Gov. Newsom Has Chance To Reshape Cali Politics. He may get to appoint, not just one, but two, US senators.
Police Bill Of Rights Focus Of Oversight. A really good primer from Matt Bittle. Read this and let it roll around in your brain for awhile:
LEOBOR (Law Enforcement Officer Bill Of Rights) currently has a confidentiality clause that is the only one of its kind in the country, and that confidentiality clause prohibits the release of police misconduct records,” said Misty Seemans, an assistant public defender serving on the subcommittee. “The only individual to get access to those records are civil attorneys who are suing for specific claims of damages.”
Here’s the ‘dog bites man’ tidbit:
A spokesman for Gov. John Carney did not respond to a question about whether the governor would be open to altering the Law-Enforcement Officers’ Bill of Rights.
What do you want to talk about?

Delaware’s ‘Balanced’ Judiciary Ruled Constitutional. Meaning, that those who identify with the anti-democratic and autocratic Rethugs will still make up about half of Delaware’s judiciary. Great work, John. Anthony Delcollo is polishing his resume as we speak. As I write this, the News-Journal still hasn’t posted the story. 106 Rethug Congresspersons Urge Overthrow Of Democracy. […]

Will Trump Veto Defense Appropriations Bill? It’s heading to his desk soon as House passes it with a veto-proof majority. Stoopid Rethuglican Voter Suppression Trix.

Pfizer To Trump: ‘Want More Vaccine?’ Trump:’No.’ That supposed 300 million doses is actually gonna be somewhere around 50 mill. Isn’t gonna stop the White House from hosting, wait for it, a Vaccine Victory Celebration. Will any/everyone wear masks? Neither Moderna nor Pfizer will attend. Pfizer wasn’t even part of ‘Operation Warp Speed’, instead […]

Delaware Day And Pearl Harbor Day. Coincidence? Your thoughts. Biden Names Cali AG Xavier Becerra To Lead HHS. I’m surprised. Thought he might be nominated for AG. Well, let’s see. He has publicly supported single-payer. He has effectively litigated on behalf of expanded access to health care. Let’s not forget the political factors at play: […]

Little Government Leadership On Vaccine Prioritization. Even states are deferring to […]

Yet Another Sallies’ Priest Busted. At what point do we look at this as not a series of isolated incidents, but view the school that they all have in common as a cesspool of pedophilia? I mean, this guy was the school principal, for, um, Christ’s sake. Louie Freeh’s law firm has rushed in to whitewash this […]

The Mo’ Better Democrats Watchlist For 2022
Starting with the premise that it takes time to successfully challenge incumbents, I decided to put together a list of incumbent Democrats who, in some cases, have already earned strong challenges in 2022, and those who had better up their games or face legit challengers. Prospective candidates, candidate recruiters, trainers and managers take note. This […]
