Senate oversight, Coons-style. WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Chris Coons (D-Del.), a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, secured funding for Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the nation’s fire services, and the U.S. Coast Guard in the Homeland Security appropriations bill, which passed the Senate Appropriations Committee today with bipartisan support. “Securing America’s borders and keeping our communities safe is a never-ending task,” said Senator Coons.“I’m particularly proud to have secured critical funding for Fire and SAFER grants as well as the U.S. Coast Guard in this legislation. Congress must ensure that the Department of Homeland Security has the tools it needs to respond to the evolving threats, and this bipartisan bill does just that.” Trump's Goon Squads didn't appear as if by magic. They couldn't exist without Coons' incurious, obsequious bipartisanship.

As you may recall Delaware Stonewall PAC really screwed the pooch with their 2018 endorsements. That fuckup seems to be addressed with this year's primary race endorsements which include an endorsement of Spiros Mantzavinos over Trump-loving Anthony DelCollo, and a belated endorsement of Stephanie Barry over execrable in every way, Mike Ramone. I guess you can go back to giving money to Delaware Stonewall PAC if you are into that sort of thing.

You can typically win an Appoquinimink School Board seat with 450 votes. Not this year. Michelle Wall got 3.5 times the usual winning number. And while schools board elections are not officially partisan, Wayne Meadows ran openly as a Trumper, so this result is clear evidence that MOT area voters are champing at the bit to punish Republicans motherfuckers at the polls.

ODESSA -- Michelle Wall, 42, of Odessa, won re-election to a second, five-year term on the Appoquinimink school board July 21, defeating political newcomer Wayne Meadows by a vote of 1,370 to 806 in the largest school board election turnout of the past two decades. Michelle Wall wins re-election to Appoquinimink Board of Education July 21. The turnout for the 2020 election was fourfold to 2019, with 552 voting last year compared to 2,176 this year. The last election to receive nearly 2,000 voters was in 2000.
