Here's the #Midwest as of this morning on the New York Times' #COVID19 tracking site, sorted by infection rate. For comparison, on the right you'll see the Midwest 7 and 14 days ago. ImageImageImage
#Wisconsin, rather unbelievably at this point, is still looking better than its neighbors, having the best numbers in all of these measures with the exception of number of dead. However, it won't be long until #Iowa catches up to us.
To me, this shows how well @DHSWI and @GovEvers "Safer at Home" was working. Now three weeks out from the court decision ending it, what happens in the data from here is anyone's guess.
(Sorry, two weeks from the court decision.) But some of the guesses people are making are just terrifying. urbanmilwaukee.com/2020/05/26/rep…

The #Rittenhouse case goes to the jury today. It probably won't come back today; regardless, I just want to put some of my thoughts out there for the world today anyhow. A small thread.
2/ I did not watch every second of every day of the trial. But I tried to follow along with good reporters and smart commentators. Most of what I see is skepticism that Rittenhouse will spend even one more day in jail.
3/ We can argue--and people have!--about whether that is the fault of the ADA pushing back against pre-trial rulings, a possibly-racist judge who doesn't know how any technology newer than a slide rule works, the general zeitgeist, whatever.

1/ Today, the #Wisconsin Republican legislature proposed eliminating the Constitutional offices of State Superintendent, Secretary of State, & Treasurer. What follows is a longish 🧵 I've meant to write for some time, addressing the utter contempt today's @wisgop has for voters.
2/ What sparks it is this piece of flaming-hot horseshit from @shaesortwell, from the @jsonline story today by @mollybeck: jsonline.com/story/news/pol…
3/ The short version of the thread is, the GOP has spent a decade doing things like weakening SoState, Treasurer, and Superintendent. Then Sortwell has the gall to use the lack of responsibility and authority those officers have as a reason to amend the constitution.

1/24 Two reminders as we head into today. 1, the @wisgop attempt to do @WsconsinMC's bidding is based on a faulty premise and general dislike of The Poors, and 2, the GOP education budget is flat-out racist.
2/ We know the GOP is doing WMC's bidding, because WMC announced the agenda for today even before the Assembly leadership did. Great work here by @mellconklin: urbanmilwaukee.com/2021/07/26/gop…
3/ Further, the attempt to override @GovEvers's veto on the $300 pandemic UI extension is based not on the realities of the Wisconsin job market, but on a desire to punish people who have lost good-paying jobs. @MikeBradleyMKE had a good thread yesterday:
