@joshgondelman More interested in a doc on the downfall of Four Loko

@tfurlong @MereNewman I second that, Tim.
Always appreciate the deeply researched looks into our past. It's important that we tell the stories of those who couldn't tell it themselves.
Bravo @MereNewman

🚨🚨 BREAKING -- THE HOUSE HAS VOTED TO REMOVE KEVIN MCCARTHY AS SPEAKER.

8 Republicans and all Democrats present voted to oust McCarthy after 269 days as speaker.

216-210

The House, once again, is in a state of chaos.

@PhillyJoeD @IngaSaffron Best part of the story is Ricketts was acquitted because Forwood had a cane in his hand. Claimed self-defense. Ricketts wrote the Whig's editorial page from his Elkton jail cell for a few weeks

@delawareonline Ummmmm there are many a du Pont who would like a word

[Jake Owens @DBTjowens]

@PhillyJoeD @harrisonfinberg I'd be curious if there is data out there on this. We moved to Middletown 7-8 yrs ago and nearly all of our neighbors are former Philly-area or NJ residents who moved south for taxes

Interestingly, a NCC executive has never been elected governor, but @MattMeyerDE tells me he thinks the tide is changing in Delaware. A huge $1M campaign fund will help him make the case #netde #degovernor2024

[DelawareBizTimes @DeBusinessTimes]

New Castle County Executive Matt Meyer (D) became the first candidate to enter the 2024 race for Delaware governor. #netde #DEGovernor #2024

Fwiw the recent retirement announcement from friend @SenatorCardin may influence @SenatorCarper thinking. Many seeing LBR as potential front runner but Gov. Carney will also be free to run. His entire career has essentially been politics #netde

[DelawareBizTimes @DeBusinessTimes]

After great early sales, .@AveloAir has added 9 new destinations from Wilmington Airport in Delaware, a record for local air travel. #netde #airline #flights #Nashville #MyrtleBeach #Savannah #Charleston

[Jake Owens @DBTjowens]

Primarily new Florida routes but also adding Nashville, Charleston, Hilton Head and the other Wilmington, NC, for new destinations from Delaware @AveloAir #netde

[Jake Owens @DBTjowens]

Awaiting public announcement of new @FlyILG routes by Avelo, including CHS, DAB, GSP, MLB, MYR, BNA, RDU, SAV and ILM. Biggest expansion ever for Delaware air service #netde

[Jake Owens @DBTjowens]

@pewresearch National polling as @JohnCarneyDE has just a few more days to decide whether to add #Delaware to the list of legalized states. #netde

[Jake Owens @DBTjowens]

@sgf302 Dunkin on Market open to 7, no? I think I've been there after 5

[Jake Owens @DBTjowens]

@nytimes *was

There I fixed it

[Jake Owens @DBTjowens]

Notably, @JohnCarneyDE signs the residency bill passed last week but still silent on marijuana bills #HB1/#HB2 passed more than 10 days ago. The wait on a potential veto continues #netde

In some major M&A news for #Delaware, @TeamSolenis is acquiring @diversey in a $4.6B go private deal. The merger of the distribution partners will open up new markets for Solenis as the company is set to grow around Wilmington #netde

@MereNewman Thanks for reading/sharing. Been enjoying #ThePressRoom!

[Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons]

NIIMBL is already creating good-paying jobs and a cutting-edge workforce in New Castle County. I'm proud to have secured $15 million for it to ensure it continues to grow and support the First State's economy. https://t.co/Db0znpLLBu

@JakeSherman @RepScottPerry Curious if this is ear-to-the-door-type reporting, or if there's just huge leaks out of meeting room?
