Big victory for @DelawareCall this week in the state Supreme Court, which ruled the state police had no justification for denying our FOIA requests and must produce records showing officer employment history and demographic data. Follow up coming soon. aclu-de.org/press-releases/d…

The funny thing about this joke is that by some measures Wilmington really punches above its weight to such a point that this is almost true.
What’s the US’s “fourth” city. NYC, LA, and Wilmington Delaware are pretty clearly the top 3 but the 4th is more ambiguous. I feel like the main contenders are probably Chicago, Phoenix, Seattle, or maybe Reading PA

SCOOP: New details from Epstein files reveal Lutnick had a years-long business tie w/ the sex offender. This challenges his claim he had minimal contact with Epstein. The two were involved in a deal for six years, and an email shows they discussed it. motherjones.com/politics/202…

I dunno, maybe I'm naive but I think it would be better to have a world order not presided over by plutocratic racist pedophiles.

Behold the power of Congress when it even *considers* withholding funding. There is no constitutional crisis, Congress just refuses to do its job.

It is not healthy when a political party loses multiple elections and yet the same politicians, consultants & aides get to keep their jobs for 30 years as if everything is fine. That’s no longer a political party — that’s a country club with lifetime membership privileges.

None of the “Well we could just do X to fund SEPTA” proposals will work because the GOP doesn’t want to fund SEPTA. It’s not a budget choice, they want to keep Philadelphia weakened and fractured so it doesn’t threaten their hegemony over state politics.

I’m so confused by Booker. He has all this fire, then turns around and voted for Trump’s nominees. What’s his deal?

Remember earlier this year when lawmakers rushed to gut shareholder protections in our corporate code and appease billionaires because companies were supposedly FLEEING THE STATE! Remember how it was a super-duper emergency? Well…tax revenue tells a very different story.

Delaware pulled in more revenue from corporations and LLCs this year than last. There is no fiscal crisis! It was all made-up! Our lawmakers got PLAYED! Very sad to see, but not unexpected.

This might be one of the most troubling episodes of @HighlandsBunker — after speaking with 4 inmates at Vaughn prison in Smyrna about surviving a heat wave and their efforts to get air conditioning, they were retaliated against for speaking out (Ep. 353). You should listen to it.

Too much focus on John 3:16. The current moment is more of a John 3:19 - “This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil.”

Let’s throw in John 3:20 for good measure: “Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed.”

It is extremely important to remember that Emanuel oversaw the most disastrous and decisive electoral collapse of the Democratic Party in modern times: the 2010 midterm elections.
7 p.m. ET TONIGHT: “I don’t want to take the Intifada worldwide,” @RahmEmanuel tells @chucktodd as he pushes back against @ZohranKMamdani messaging on Israel and Gaza. Don’t miss this wide-ranging conversation on the future of the Democratic Party, the rise of the progressive left, and where Emanuel thinks the party needs to go next. ONLY on the Noosphere app.

Has any state had a more useless Dem trifecta than Delaware?
