DE House Can Put A Dent In Gun Violence. Why Won’t They Do It?
I will first quote an excerpt from AG Kathleen Jennings’ statement on yesterday’s Texas massacre: Our state and our nation must choose change, including a ban on the military-style assault rifles that both shooters are reported to have used. It’s also long past time for Delaware to pass into law Senate Bill 3, legislation creating […]
Stephanie Bolden And Lumpy Carson Kill Renters’ Right To Counsel Bill
We need to add Pistol/Speaker Pete to that list, who unnecessarily assigned the bill to yet another committee after it had finally cleared the Housing Committee. Here’s the story: The House of Representatives’ Appropriations Committee voted 3-2 Thursday against a bill that would have given tenants a right to free counsel in eviction proceedings. Supporters […]
Delaware General Assembly Pre-Game Show: Tuesday, April 5, 2022
Hoo-boy, we’ve got some real interesting bills to talk about right off the bat. Take, for example, HB 372 (Osienski). The bill ‘regulates and taxes marijuana in the same manner as alcohol’. I honestly haven’t had time to look at the differences between this bill and the failed bill, but they’re similar. It’s still a […]
General Assembly Post-Game Wrap-Up/Pre-Game Show: Wednesday, March 23, 2022
False advertising. At least for the most part. I couldn’t shut off my brain following what happened with LEOBOR Reform yesterday. I’m not sure my thoughts will make any more sense as I write them down, but I’m gonna try. In one inexplicable regard, what Tizzy Lockman did yesterday is unprecedented when it comes to […]
DL Open Thread: Friday, Feb. 4, 2022
Time To Crack Down On Methane ‘Ultra-Emitters’. Satellite technology now enables us to spot these polluters. We have the technology to do something about it. A growing constellation of methane-detecting satellites is giving researchers new and disturbing insights into “super emitters” around the globe — from pipelines in Russia to North America’s oil fields. But […]
2022 General Assembly: Unfinished Business
I’m not referencing either SB 1 (McBride) or SB 149 (Lockman), as their legislative journeys have just begun. I’m writing about bills that could, and, in some instances, should have been enacted by now. HCR 3 (Lynn): The Kop Kabal killed this resolution creating a task force to ‘investigate and make findings and recommendations regarding […]
Mo’ Better Democrats: Challenge These Legislative Miscreants!
We can argue about the merits of the recently-concluded first session of the 151st General Assembly. However, with a progressive Senate D Caucus moving full speed ahead, we learned who needs to be challenged, especially in the House, to do away with the Kop Kabal now and forever. Time and time again, we saw progressive […]
House Leadership Flat-Out Lied To Senate On Gun Control Package
The deal was cut months ago. There would be a four-bill package of gun control bills that would be worked and passed this year. Two bills would start in the House, two bills would start in the Senate, the bills would be passed and moved to the other chamber, where they would be passed. The […]
Delaware Political Weekly: June 26-July 2, 2020
I was gonna wait until after the holiday weekend to write this, but too much stuff happened. Plenty of stuff will happen over the next two weeks as we approach the filing deadline for state and local races. Meaning, for now, I’m back to doing this weekly. 1. Colin Bonini Makes It A Five-Way For […]
El Somnambulo Predicts ‘Em All For You: Part I
There will be some sort of a blue wave in Delaware. Only question is: How much of a Blue Wave? I don’t know. But I feel real good about my predictions, which factor in a bit of a blue wave, but not a blue tsunami. I think there will be a blue wave largely b/c […]

The News Journal Plays the Patsy Again
A week ago the News Journal ran a front-page article on a confidential report on the state Auditor’s Office and the performance of Kathleen Davies, who was second-in-command to elected Auditor Tom Wagner. Davies apparently ruffled a lot of feathers in her six years on the job, enough so that people under her command clearly […]
Delaware Political Weekly: July 6-12, 2018
1. Best Week Ever For Kerri Harris Campaign. Finally, the battle is joined. Tom Carper has a record that is indefensible to real Democrats. We’ve chronicled that record here for years now. It’s all over the DL blog this week. You’ve probably read much of it. Kerri Harris was not going to have a chance […]
