At the Tony Evers/Mandela Barnes inaugural ball in Wisconsin, Tammy Baldwin takes the stage to open up the program. For six years, she kept the light of progressivism alive here. Tonight, every constitutional officer in the state is a Democrat.
Lt Governor Mandela Barnes compliments Senator Tammy Baldwin’s inaugural garb: “I love those coattails!”
(Get it? Like, political coattails helping downballot candidates get elected? It’s an excellent joke, people.)

"May we be willing to do what’s best for the next generation, rather than the next election." – @Tony4WI
Wisconsin's newly elected Democratic governor, Tony Evers, just concluded his inaugural address this way: "Let's polka tonight, and get to work tomorrow!"

(He really does polka, and will do so at the inaugural ball tonight)

Sarah Godlewski took her oath of office today as State Treasurer of Wisconsin—after successfully leading the fight against the GOP effort to eliminate the office. She's dynamite. Keep an eye on her.

Kids’ inaugural gala for @GovEvers and @TheOtherMandela!
When you elect a teacher governor, he doesn’t just use little ones as props. He throws a gala at the Children’s Museum and talks directly to the kids.
Q&A with kids. Child asks Tony Evers what he, as a kid, wanted to be when he grew up. Answers that he first job was scraping mold off cheese, which taught him what he *didn’t* want to do, so he became a teacher. #KidsGala

FT: Tope, Ahmed and Matilda
Legoooooo
Life can be really surprising sometimes and the best way to really enjoy life is to live it as if every moment is the last..
Ladies and gentlemen let me tell you a story 😁😁
During my youth service I had many adventures. My friend Ahmed was serving with me in Akwa Ibom while Tope was closeby in calabar.

Life was good.. But this is not a bedtime story.. No.. This is not a story about love.. This is a story about choices and bad decisions

1/ Amid Twitter maybe getting rid of the "like" to promote "better dialog" and certainly giving safe haven to nazis and other extremists, a rant:
2/ You probably noticed how, people came forward to say that they'd reported the bomber for violent threats, and Twitter (as always) did nothing and (as always) now apologizes but (as always) won't say how they'll better handle. They won't, and I'll tell you one big reason why.
3/ to address complaints about threats and "improve the dialog" Twitter introduced the "quality filter." You see fewer threats and hate speech. BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN THERE'S LESS OF IT.

Matt is right about how hesitant liberals are to admit this. They shouldn't be. Yes, there is strong evidence that ID politics/political correctness cost the Dems some votes (check his @NiskanenCenter piece), but that doesn't mean what so many centrist liberals think it does.
First, we don't know if it's costing them more votes than it's gaining. Jettisoning ID politics may help Dems win back some white suburbanites, but what if it depresses turnout in the blue cities driving the party's red state gains?

Anyway, there's a much bigger issue at play.
Look at all these partisan swings. On economics, the environment, higher ed, and the FBI, something insane happened in 2016/2017. Dems shoot off in one direction, GOP in the other. Partisanship rules everything around me, amirite?
