It's pretty fucking simple: If you won't do anything at all about the number one cause of deaths in children and teenagers in this stupid country, you don't get to say you care about children. It really is that easy. No matter what policies you support, good or shitty, you are a fucking fraud if you won't step up on the number of and easy access to firearms, especially high-powered weapons with large magazines. If your house is on fire but you're ignoring that because you want to spackle a hole in the wall, then your minor repair is worthless. That wall's gonna burn, too. After another shooting at another school, this time in Nashville, with 3 kids and 3 adults murdered by a shooter who had bought their guns legally, Republicans practically lined up to tell parents everywhere that they don't fucking care if your children die. Senator John Cornyn from Texas, who was a Republican co-sponsor of the mild gun legislation that was signed into law in 2022, said, "I would say we’ve gone about as far as we can go" on any additional gun control laws. Profiles in chickenshit.

Hey There,
Before we rundown the daily shitshow, take a minute and read this post and consider which organization you are going to support We know about 400 people on any given day read DL's coverage of Leg Hall, campaign coverage and other timely shit, so we're only asking for a handful of news nerds to support DL by stepping up to support some other fine organizations.
Look at it this way, climate grifter and well-known rugby ball impersonator, "Dr" David LeGates DOESN'T want you to contribute to any of the organizations. OK?

I attended the town mall meeting March 21 at the Indian River Senior Center in Millsboro organized by Delaware Republicans to generate opposition to Gov. Carney’s proposed lower-emission vehicle program, requiring that dealers offer a growing percentage of electric vehicles starting with model year 2026 and concluding in 2035 when all new vehicles offered for sale must be electric.
The meeting was moderated by Rep. Rich Collins, R-Millsboro, flanked by Sen. Gerald Hocker. Collins stated: “We need to follow the science, folks. We need to work with correct information to make such an important decision.” The science expert Collins introduced was Dr. David LeGates, whose presentation focused on casting doubt on the severity of climate change and the human causes of global warming. He stated that carbon dioxide is plant food and not a pollutant. In the waning months of his administration, climate change denier Donald Trump appointed LeGates as deputy assistant secretary of commerce for observation and prediction at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. I encourage everyone to google David LeGates and come to their own conclusions as to his motives and affiliations.
