April is Membership Drive Month at DL – So Join The Working Families Party
All month we’ve been asking you, dear reader/commenter, to join DL and become a member by joining and/or donating to the Working Families Party or any of the other fine organizations you see in the poll. The WFP is worth a little more consideration. They’ve had amazing success in Delaware shifting the debate to the […]
Delaware General Assembly Pre-Game Show: Tuesday, April 25, 2023
First, let’s all pause and approve by acclamation a DL Superior Legislating Award for Rep. Ed Osienski. He never gave up, he consistently changed the legislation to attract votes, he worked to bring people on board, and he assembled a veto-proof majority that forced Gov. John Carney to admit defeat. Weed is legal in Delaware […]

Biden Running. Again. The D’s had better hope that Trump is his opponent. I mean, he’s really showing his age. His announcement is sure to galvanize the electorate. Sorry, that’s all I can muster. This depresses me. BTW, LBR has been named as a co-chair. That depresses me as well. Trump To Be Indicted In […]
Be on the look out for a very pouty climate change fraud who resembles a sad rugby ball someone placed a wig on
How angry is Legates that he isn’t the “featured speaker” at this thing? Pretty fucking angry I’d say. Ingrates! He gives and gives and this is what he gets? Bumped aside by Kellyanne Conway?!
BREAKING: Tucker Carlson Out At Fox
Here’s the story: Tucker Carlson has parted ways with Fox News, the network said on Monday. “We thank him for his service to the network as a host and prior to that as a contributor,” the network said in a statement. Carlson was Fox’s top-rated prime time host, netting an average of more than 3 […]
Song of the Day 4/24: Old & In the Way, “Old and In the Way”
This one’s for Dianne Feinstein who, almost everyone agrees, is both old and in the way. Feinstein was on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors when those hippies Jerry Garcia and David Grisman put together their bluegrass supergroup in 1973 and named the project after this Grisman tune. They were not yet 30. Grisman is […]
New Highlands Bunker on Fox/Dominion Settlement – We shoulda seen it coming.
Look, Dominion is not in business to “save democracy”. Nobody is going to save democracy except you getting out to vote and getting your lazy family out to vote. That said, I’m only a 1/4 of the way in on this (no traffic this mornin’), so I can’t rate this on my patented scale of 1 to 5 Blumberg Excelsior yellow legal pads.
Our series on the Dominion v Fox trial comes to an abrupt close with a $787.5 million settlement. Chance from Chancery Daily joins Rob and Bill again to talk about what led to this settlement, what the implications are, and how we ended up covering so many trials.

Rethugs Say It Out Loud: Save Party By Stopping Students From Voting. People of a certain age (mine) no doubt recall how Rethugs used this tactic to keep kids who went to school out of state from voting at their college addresses. In my case, Rockefeller. They’re trying again: A top Republican legal strategist told […]

Bye, Asshole
Only Senator Chris Coons will be sad when this happens because he will advance into second (behind Sinema) in the “biggest Democratic asshole in the Senate” rankings.

SpaceX Launchpad Escaped Unscathed? Not So Fast, My Friend: Big rockets emit tremendous amounts of energy — and none more than SpaceX’s Starship, the most powerful rocket in the world, which generates thrust twice as powerful as the Saturn V rocket that flew the Apollo astronauts toward the moon. So when it lifted off Thursday, […]
A silver lining of Trumpism
If Trump can be credited for having accomplished anything positive, it is the fact that he shredded and, indeed, incinerated the idea that Republican christians are …you know… christian. Being lectured by sychopaths about how Godly there were was extremely tiresome. Trump killed the ‘values voter’ wing of the GOP. It isn’t coming back in […]
