Had a wide-ranging conversation with @JeremyPKeil for his podcast about what's gone haywire in our politics and what we all can do about it. Thanks for having me on your show, Jeremy! keilfp.com/blogpodcast/how-t…

When I ran for governor in 2018, I cringed every time I heard a certain comment about Scott Walker's qualifications to be governor. My response to the comment was the same then as it is now. mikemccabe.substack.com/p/ho…

These are troubled times for sure. Trying and painful days lie ahead. Whether today feels like 1927 or 1861, it bears remembering that the Union and American democracy survived those trials of fire. Keep the faith. Better days are coming.

REPORT: 1 year, 530k deaths, 29 million cases & 78 million lost jobs into the pandemic, America's 657 billionaires have profiteered their way to $1.3 trillion in gains. That's a 44% windfall since last March. Their pandemic profits alone could fund 2/3 of the #AmericanRescuePlan

"I won't accept $1,400 from the government to help make it through a public health crisis because it didn't get bipartisan approval," said no normal person ever.
Pressure is building for the governor to press harder in the upcoming budget cycle to get some things done for the state, "potentially a considerable challenge for a governor who spent much of his career out of the political maelstrom." madison.com/wsj/news/local/g… via @WiStateJournal

ICYMI... yesterday's conversation with Dom and Crute @devilradio about how to make the next state budget a decent one for the working class. darnwi.com/podcast/12-9-20-m…
When Mike was running for governor he put forward a plan to make Wisconsin the first state in the nation to test a #BasicIncome program. Now at least it looks like it will be tried locally in the state's second largest city. Nice step forward. #UBI
Great to see cities being able to be laboratories of democracy! Long term the US will need some version of a guaranteed income and proud to see my home city being a part of showing proof of concept. wisconsinexaminer.com/2020/1… via @WIExaminer
Truth to power @billhogseth. Mike started his run for governor from the farm where he grew up, talking about forgotten people living in forgotten places. He still is.
