I'm not sure how this is news, since it's been news every day for four years now, but Russia appears to be meddling in the 2020 election to get Trump…
Highlands Bunker – E55 – SB39 and SD14
Ed Note: I've only heard the first half, but this is another important podcast. 1) Middle and Upper Middle-class DL readers have no idea how expensive it is to be poor. We need to get on the asses of our Middle and Upper Middle-class Reps in Dover to get them to pass SB-39
Another double header episode. First, D Marque Hall and Ryan Nowaczyk join Rob to talk about the Fines and Fees bill and the movement to decriminalize poverty. Then, state senate candidate Kyra Hoffner joins Rob to talk about why she's running for office against a long-time incumbent.
Song of the Day 2/20: The Hooters, “Fightin’ on the Same Side”

Coming Soon: Online Fundraiser for Jess Scarane
Klobs and Pete say that you should vote for them because Coons will stop President Bernie's or President Warren's initiatives in the Senate. That's a dumb argument.
The notion that we have to accept a US Senate hamstrung by Coons is false on its face. The idea that progressive initiatives are impossible because Coons and other corporate lackeys in the Senate will block them is something Delaware has a big say in this year.
This year we have an opportunity to lead the country in changing the Senate by voting in Jess Scarane.
Turfing out Coons, a vocal critic of a government that works for the people, will be the shot heard round the world.
Soon I'll be posting about the amazing momentum Scarane has already built across the state, and I'll be asking you to help the momentum continue to build.
Help take down Coons by making a donation to Jess' campaign and I will match it. Details to follow.
Debate reactions?
I didn’t watch. Winners? Losers? What does it matter when it all feels so dumbed down. Television is a dumb media. Medium (?)
Poll numbers tank for “moderate” incumbent Senator
No it isn't Coons. Not yet anyway. (Your day is coming, Coons) For now, it is Susan Collins. The WSJ blames the "polarized political climate" for Collins' cratering approval, but…
Song of the Day 2/19: Bad Company, “Bad Company”
Yesterday Trump pardoned every white-collar criminal he's seen on TV, from Michael Milken and Eddie DeBartolo to Rod Blagojevich and Bernard Kerik and, I'm pretty sure, Doctor Loveless from "The…

BREAKING!: House D Leaders Fire Long-Time Employee Who Supports Union
