Barnes pulling off a win would have been amazing. More amazing: for over half of WI to actively acknowledge/push back on the racism & misogyny RJ brings to the table. I'm heartbroken not *just* bc Barnes lost, but that he lost mostly due to hatred & ignorance.

In case you need a reminder of what state you live in, Wisconsinites: @_kaylahuynh just spoke with a youth voter who said his proof of residency to register was an underage drinking ticket

This morning, I wanted to extend my most devout prayers and deepest thoughts to the victims of the bear maulings at Heritage Village Retirement Community and their friends and loved ones. This was a terrible and senseless tragedy that could not have been avoided.

"This will fall on the poorest women in our country. This will fall on young women who have been abused, who are victims of incest."
Please watch this video. @ewarren is channeling the rage we are all feeling right now. Thank you, @SenWarren.
We wrote about this specific scenario in Out of Office — the scenario I think of as "day is so filled with meetings I have to pull another work section after the kids go to bed" understanding of work

Curious @ASlavitt - since "the people around them" are encouraged to drop masks, go back to work/school/etc in person - how can we universally protect the vulnerable? My kiddo is 3 & we struggle to balance "normalcy" against safety when everyone is moving forward.
This is a huge barrier to entry for the much-needed growth of a rising MLB fanbase. And people would pay $$ to watch these games in some manner. Agree that the monopolization of in-market televised games, if it continues, will be crushing to MLB long-term.
