Wisconsin

Someone gave Wisconsin's new governor, Tony Evers, some great advice. Instead of suing the GOP legislature for the anti-democracy bills they rushed through in the lame duck session, he's decided on a strategy to letting them sue him.

American lame duck periods-- between early November's election and early Jannary's inauguration, are usually extremely dysfunctional-- but they were even worse before 1933 when they lasted until March. In 1933m the 29th Amendment to the Constitution moved the beginning of the new Congress to January 3 (and the inauguration of the president to January 20), shortening, but not eliminating the lame duck period.

The outgoing Michigan congressional delegation has 9 Republicans and 5 Democrats. Starting in January it will be 7 Democrats and 7 Republicans-- and that despite gerrymandering.

Will voters have had enough of the circus in 2020? In a recession?In a manner of speaking, 2020 is just around the corner.

Liberty Revisited by Nancy OhanianLast month, North Carolina Democrats didn't come close to winning with chamber of the state legislature but they did accomplished something very important in both chambers-- they broke the Republican supermajority in each.

Call me crazy but I think Wisconsin Republicans made a big strategic boo-boo last night and this morning.

Sunday morning, we took a quick look at the Republican power play in Wisconsin, where, having lost complete control of the executive branch, they have now called a special lame duck session before Scott Walker is shown the door, to hobble Democratic governor-elect Tony Evers and attorney general-elect Josh

Wisconsin had an anti-red wave last month, but no one has told the Republican state legislature. Democrats ousted Republicans Scott Walker and Rebecca Kleefisch and elected Tony Evers and Mandela Barnes as governor and lieutenant governor, reelected Tammy Baldwin to the U.S.

Stormy weather aheadDemocrats targeted 2 Republican incumbents this cycle, Jason Lewis in the suburban district (MN-02) south of the Twin Cities and Erik Paulsen in the suburbs (MN-03) west, north and south of Minneapolis. They flipped both seats, each of which had been won twice by Obama. In 2016 Trump edged Hillary by a point in MN-02 and Hillary obliterated Trump by nearly 10 points in MN-03.

Alan Grayson's grassroots PAC, The Resistance, did a final appeal for Randy Bryce Sunday evening. At this point, forget about the contribution part, just try to remember if you know anyone who lives in Racine, Kenosha, Janesville, the suburbs south of Milwaukee... and call them and tell them why they should vote for @IronStache. Meanwhile, though Grayson's PAC made some good points.
