Delaware Liberal

Sure sounds that way. We'll probably get more details by morning, but Sen. Chris Coons is getting prominent mention across the media for his role in brokering a deal with…

This morning's committee vote to push Brett Kavanaugh's nomination through to the full Senate served as a fitting anti-climax to yesterday's blockbuster hearings. The Common Wisdom on the Republican rush…

DELAWARE in 2068, like large portions of the lowland east coast, is a soggy economic ghetto populated by people who can't afford to move to higher ground and who live in moldy, chronically flooded homes. Science fiction? Nope. It has already begun:

“The Great Migration was out of the south into the industrialized north, whereas this is from every coastal place in the US to every other place in the US,” said Hauer. “Not everyone can afford to move, so we could end up with trapped populations that would be in a downward spiral. I have a hard time imagining what that future would be like.”

There is now a fourth allegation against Kavanaugh, and it involves physical assault as an adult. At four, Kavanaugh, still trails Trump by 23 sex assault allegations.

Sheesh...

Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf has been in strong shape for re-election all cycle, and he continued his dominance by widely outraising his Republican challenger, state Sen. Scott Wagner, over the last several months. But the most amazing detail to come out of the candidates' new financial reports is the fact, uncovered by Daily Kos contributing editor Adam Bonin, that Wagner reported losing $631,000 in campaign funds between June 5 and Sept. 17 thanks to unsuccessful investments in a brokerage account. As Bonin notes, it's astoundingly irresponsible to invest donor money, as Wagner's huge losses show. In fact, an earlier report saw Wagner's investments drop by astounding $1.5 million, though in other periods, he's seen gains—but that's exactly the point: The extreme volatility of investing in securities poses a huge risk to funds that contributors are entrusting to you. What's more, the stock market has made solid gains this year (the S&P 500 is up over 9 percent in 2018), so how in the hell did Wagner manage to lose so much money while most investors were doing well?

Wish I had a nickel for every conservative lamenting that liberals are trying to "ruin" Brett Kavanaugh's life. Just for perspective, let's remember that if he fails to gain a…

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez noted that our swing voters are not "the middle" but people who never voted before. Makes sense, but what does that really look like? What would it take for Democrats to stop chasing the mythical "center" and start putting some real energy into activating voters who would be inclined to vote for Democratic candidates on election day? My sense is that instead of "left, middle, right" we'd end up with a scale that looked something like ...
