Joe Biden has proposed a $2 trillion infrastructure plan. Vox has a good explainer outlining what it does and how Democrats hope to pass it. Politico notes it has set off what might become the largest lobbying effort in memory. Schadenfreude meters around the nation redlined yesterday when the New York Times revealed that showboating […]
General Assembly Post-Game Wrap-Up/Pre-Game Show: Wednesday, March 31, 2021
The Senate is rolling out the legislative artillery, beginning today. Two gun control bills, SB 3 (Lockman) and SB 6 (Sokola), will be considered in the Senate Judiciary Committee today, and have been scheduled as the only two bills on tomorrow’s Senate Agenda. I think they’ve each got at least 12 votes in the Senate, […]
General Assembly Post-Game Wrap-Up/Pre-Game Show: Thursday, March 25, 2021
We’re seeing the forces arrayed against progressive legislation flexing their muscles. The Democratic forces. The keys remain John Carney and Speaker Pete. Carney acts like he’s not really paying attention to specific bills (‘ I’m looking forward the the debate on (fill in the blank)’. As if. Speaker Pete buries bills that Carney doesn’t want. […]

Tuesday’s Activity Report. You will note that HB 88 (K. Williams) cleared the Business Lapdog Committee. There was one unfavorable vote on the move to eliminate the training and teen sub-minimum wage. You don’t suppose–that committee member Mike Ramone would engage in yet another conflict-of-interest vote so soon after being exposed as a serial conflict-of-interest […]
Delaware General Assembly Pre-Game Show: Tuesday, March 23, 2021
But first, a quick look back at a productive legislative session that took place on March 18. These bills passed and moved across the Hall to the opposite chambers: SB 15; HB 20; and HB 33. Excellent bills. The fates of HB 20 and HB 33 are likely not in doubt. However, John Carney is […]

Song of the Day 3/19: The Undisputed Truth, “Smiling Faces Sometimes”
The worst part of the story about the Biden White House firing staffers who admitted to past marijuana use is the fact that they were told such admissions would not be held against them. This Motown classic, the only hit for this psychedelic-soul trio, reached No. 3 in 1971. Written by Motown songwriting team of […]
General Assembly Post-Game Wrap-Up/Pre-Game Show: Weds., March 17, 2021
The Big News: SB 15, the $15 Minimum Wage bill, will be heard in committee today, and has been placed on tomorrow’s Senate Agenda. All 14 Senate Democratic senators are on the bill as sponsors, so, barring some unforeseen circumstance, it will pass in the Senate. Which is when the real work begins. Here’s yesterday’s […]
Delaware General Assembly Pre-Game Show: Tuesday, March 8, 2021
The initial Joint Finance Committee hearings are over (budget mark-up will come later), so the General Assembly will be working up until an Easter break. The House will not officially reconvene until Thursday. However, House committees will meet both today and tomorrow. The Senate will convene today. Perhaps the biggest news is the imminent introduction […]

The Last Guy ™ spoke at some conservative circle jerk. I don’t know what he said, but people think that it is good news for Joe Biden. Ok, I guess. Biden defended his decision to not get up in Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s grill after a U.S. intelligence report said what we all […]

House Passes Stimulus Bill. All Rethugs voted against it. So did two ‘moderate’ D’s–Jared Golden of Maine and Kurt Schrader of Oregon. The D’s don’t have the votes, even if we overturn the filibuster, to pass the $15 minimum wage bill in the Senate. So can we just pass this bleeping thing and get the […]

The Stockholm Syndrome Party:
During a press conference with House managers after Trump’s second impeachment trial, Nancy Pelosi said: “I think our country needs a strong Republican party. It’s very important.”
When was the last time you heard a Republicans say that the country needs a strong Democratic Party? Bottom Line: The Democratic Party leadership is comprised of very wealthy people who do not trust the instincts of Americans who are not rich. Yes – I’m looking at you, Coons.
I have zero faith in Dover passing any kind of legalization that doesn’t: A) Suck, and B) Further enrich some cabal of insiders.
Bill to legalize marijuana in Delaware to be filed soon – Delaware State News
Gov. John Carney has consistently opposed legalization, with a spokesman last week declining to speculate what the governor would do if the bill reaches his desk.
These “Republicans fractured” stories are nice, but a little far fetched. They’ll do whatever the fuck Trump tells them to do. Change my mind. Also, is it news to anyone that Republicans are a bunch of racist assholes? Certainly that is not news to republicans.
