DL Open Thread: Monday, June 30, 2025
I’d first like to comment on Karl Stomberg’s piece, which you should read if you have not already done so. He captures my frustration more eloquently than I’ve so far been able to. I grew up in a Democratic household during the civil rights movement. My parents benefited greatly from FDR’s New Deal policies. I […]
‘Bulo’s Fave Tunes: June 2025
For our female music lovers, I recognize that the last two months might have made you feel like Exiles In Bro-Ville. Wasn’t intentional. It be like that sometimes. Well, this month, the sistas are doin’ it for themselves. And for us. Starting with one of this year’s most exciting musical discoveries: Couldn’t decide between that […]

DOGE Fights For More Guns. No, not for them, necessarily. But for Amerika: The U.S. DOGE Service has sent staff to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives with the goal of revising or eliminating dozens of rules and gun restrictions by July 4, according to multiple people with knowledge of the efforts, who […]
General Assembly Post-Game Wrap-Up/Pre-Game Show: Thursday, June 26, 2025
First, a shout-out. Jacob Owens of Spotlight Delaware has been doing a live legislative blog the last couple of days. There aren’t two of him, so he can’t cover everything. But what he’s doing is a helluva lot better than covering nothing. Well worth checking out. Ho-kay. A very notable legislative session yesterday. Plus, the Governor has […]

Bernie Nails It. So obvious, yet corporadems are so addicted to corporate cash: Look, he ran a brilliant campaign. And it wasn’t just him. What he understood and understands — campaign’s not over — is that to run a brilliant campaign, you have to run a grassroots campaign. So instead of taking money from billionaires […]
General Assembly Post-Game Wrap-Up/Pre-Game Show: Wednesday, June 25, 2025
A productive and noteworthy session in Dover yesterday. The House membership now officially comprises 40 with the resignation of Stell Parker Selby. The FY 2026 Budget passed the House with only a few scattered no’s. Some good bills passed in the House, some even garnering ‘yes’ votes from Kevin Hensley and Michael Smith, who are […]

NYC Elects Democratic Socialist As Mayor. Well, not officially. The ranked choice balloting needs to be counted, and Eric Adams and (remember him?) Curtis Sliwa await in the fall. However, Democratic primary voters made their choice clear: Zohran Mamdani, a little-known state lawmaker whose progressive platform and campaign trail charisma electrified younger voters, stunned former […]
BREAKING NEWS: “Are You Being Served, Madame Speaker?”
The answer is yes. Although perhaps not the kind of service the Speaker would prefer. Speaker Mimi Minor-Brown has been served with a Cease And Desist Order by the Neuberger Firm, representing Rep. Sherae’a Moore. From the order: Cease And Desist–Your Retaliation for Core Political Speech In Violation Of The Ku Klux Klan Act Of […]
The General Assembly Should Pass This Bill ASAP
With the resignation of Rep. Stell Parker Selby, we will now have a Special Election to fill the year-long vacancy in RD 20. Will the parties have an open process with primaries, or will we have a rerun of the cynical insiders’ circle jerk that resulted in Dan Cruce and Ray Seigfried? Governor Matt Meyer […]
BREAKING: Stell Parker Selby Resigns
Joe Edelin breaks the story in Bay To Bay: “In December, I suffered a serious medical emergency that profoundly changed the rhythm of my life. Since that moment, I have fought every day toward recovery. And while I am proud of the strides I’ve made, I must acknowledge – with honesty and humility – that […]

Ceasefire Holds? Depends on who you believe: The fate of a truce announced by President Trump that went into effect early Tuesday hung in the balance, as the Israeli military said Iran had fired another missile barrage and vowed to retaliate. The claim from Israel’s military came just hours after the country had joined Iran […]

‘Work Expands To Fill Time Allotted.’ Hmmm, only four days left. Let’s see if work has expanded…why yes, yes it has. Check out today’s chock-filled Agendas: House Agenda: Before we get to the meat of the Agenda, and it indeed is not for legislative vegans, a couple of questions on the Consent Agenda. Doesn’t HR […]

Once Again, The Press Misses The Point. I’m not gonna link to any of the ‘analysis’ of the decision-making process. Because it ignores the simple fact that the person who ordered the bombing of Iran is a deranged narcissist who just happens to be the President of the United States. Surrounded by people who were […]
