Rethugs Call For Insurrection Because ‘Trump’. Is this the kind of free speech the 1st Amendment protects? I don’t think so: “We have now reached a war phase,” Representative Andy Biggs (AZ) tweeted Friday. “Eye for an eye,” he added, ignoring that a Florida grand jury decided on its own accord to indict the former […]

Red State MAGAts Can’t Dump People Off Medicaid Fast Enough: Hundreds of thousands of low-income Americans have lost Medicaid coverage in recent weeks as part of a sprawling unwinding of a pandemic-era policy that prohibited states from removing people from the program.

Debt Ceiling Blues, Featuring The Profound Shittiness That Is Chris Coons: So, are Democrats negotiating on the debt limit? “The president is,” replied Sen. Angus King (I-Maine), who caucuses with the party. “My short answer is, no. Because negotiating the debt ceiling means saying, ‘maybe we should consider default,’” said Sen.

Unless you are a migratory bird or a mosquito, there is absolutely no reason to go to any of these so-called “beaches”. The best ‘secret’ beaches in Delaware: Broadkill, Pickering, Slaughter. Plan your visit. _________________________________ I get all of my news from the comments section of this blog, and the Highlands Bunker Podcast. Anyhoo….The last […]

The Family That Rules Montana. As in, the man who chairs the Senate Judiciary Committee; his daughter, who chairs the House Judiciary Committee; and his son, who is the Speaker of the House. They are Christian conservatives with decidedly un-Christian views: During a legislative hearing in 2011 that was a prelude to Montana’s debates on abortion, State […]
BREAKING: Pot Bills To Become Law Without Carney’s Signature
The story: Gov. John Carney on Friday said he would let the bills to legalize marijuana and create a recreational industry become law without his signature, standing down from his aversions to recreational weed that put him at odds with his party. Delaware is the 22nd state to legalize recreational marijuana, after a nearly decades […]

Have you figured out that, if John Carney does nothing on the pot bills, HB 1 will become law next Saturday? Quietly becomes law as Carney does what he does best: Nothing. For once, a do-nothing governor would be a plus. Mike Pompeo Says He Won’t Run For President. Nobody cares. DeSantis, On Book […]

They Can’t DO This In America–Except They Did: Tennessee’s House of Representatives on Thursday expelled two Democratic members who participated in a gun control protest following the mass shooting at a Nashville grade school.

General Assembly Post-Game Wrap-Up/Pre-Game Show: Weds., March 29, 2023
I may, on exceedingly-rare occasions, be just a tad hyper-critical of the work of the Delaware General Assembly. So, let me be clear: There has never, EVER, been a more progressive and effective political body in the State of Delaware than the current Delaware State Senate. In fact, none is even close. Yesterday was a […]

Will Lucy pull the football away from Charlie Brown yet one more time? I’ve had some legislators tell me that they believe they have a veto-proof majority in the House should John Carney once again tap into his inner Junior ROTC and veto the two pot bills, both of which are almost certainly gonna pass […]

If this post isn’t the worth the price of a non-subscription, I don’t know what is. So much stuff that I’m gonna have to up the Snark Factor to keep it interesting. Betcha I can do it. I’ve been told that there’s no such thing as a stupid question (not true, BTW), but I must […]

“This amendment makes technical corrections and clarifications requested by the Office of the Governor.” Yeah (you’re asking)? So what? The ‘so what’ is that this is HA2/HB 2. HB 2 ‘regulates and taxes marijuana for recreational use in much the same manner as alcohol. It creates a framework for production, manufacture, and sale in a […]

It’s ba-a-a-ck. Polished to a diamond gleam by Rep. Osienski. We’re talking HB 1, which: …removes all penalties for use or possession of a personal use quantity of marijuana and marijuana accessories. It further specifies that the adult sharing of a personal use quantity or less of marijuana is legal activity for those 21 years […]
