Old WI reputation: pragmatic, progressive, good government.
New WI reputation: pass up free federal money because of incompetence/desire to hurt poor people. I
This is not even the first time during COVID the state government has taken a pass on millions of federal support for no discernible reason.
Wisconsin has had a terrible track record in getting COVID unemployment payments out. Republicans have blamed the Dem Governor but those delays arose in no small part because of burdens that were baked into the system by the GOP. (thread)

The ways the Biden child tax credit provides benefits with minimal administrative burdens: automatic enrollment for 9 out of 10, no middleman, no audits
(via @TheProspect h/t @ShawnFremstad)

One concern about the child tax credit is that a) people will not know about it, and b) even if they get it, they might not identify it as a distinct program they support (thread).
Kuttner argues that civil society will step in to help people sign up for the child tax credit, boosting already high take up. prospect.org/economy/bidens… Image

“When China sees a problem, they fix it” say the cancel culture warriors.

Problems include academic freedom, criticism of party leaders, demands for autonomy or human rights.
Which is more plausible: the people who compare China favorably to the US:
*have principled beliefs in protecting free speech and the marketplace of ideas
*are comfortable with state suppression of speech they personally disagree with
There was a bit on Fox a week or so ago about how Russia and China were more supportive of free speech than America (in between bits where they attacked President Biden), and that is the deep level of unseriousness and propaganda we are dealing with here.

Having shot down one Biden nominee using the entirely novel "mean tweets" criterion, GOP Senators are now going after others. The problem is, the mean tweets in question are pretty accurate. washingtonpost.com/outlook/2021/0…
Biden's nominee for Associate Attorney General, Vanita Gupta, had some harsh words for the GOP convention. But also accurate! She should be blocked for this?
Even more of a stretch, Tom Cotton and Marco Rubio objected to a nominee because he tweeted a quote of an opinion columnist. Doesn't even have to be their own words to be disqualifying!

Wisconsin senior citizen, who in the last year has retreated to a world of conspiracy theories and quack medical cures, has some thoughts about cognitive decline among the elderly.
Biden, who has a history of making gaffes, spent the last year winning in a crowded Dem field, handling Trump in two debates, running a gaffe-free campaign and transition, passing a massive anti-poverty legislation and ramping up COVID response.
But they are still pushing this.
Trump regularly misspoke, stumbled over words, made massive misstatements and misjudgments, and all of the "Biden has cognitive decline" guys treated him like he was playing 12 dimensional chess while wrestling a bear. Come on!
