NEW: Judge moves, cautiously, toward civil contempt in case over treatment of trans people in prison. Judge Lamberth: "Once I issue an order, it’s my intent to enforce it."

Now this is how you extrapolate data. I approve wholeheartedly

[Ethan W. Anderson @Ethan_is_online]

I've plotted the most expensive McDonald's burger and the least expensive MacBook over time. This analysis projects that the most expensive burger will be more expensive than the cheapest laptop as soon as 2081

Co-Star sometimes has great "day at a glance" messages. Today's: "Love doesn't collapse under the weight of its contradictions, it expands to contain them." 🤯

[Midwest vs. The Rest @midwestern_ope]

Midwesterners get offended when someone passes on the highway and they’re already going 5-10 mph over the speed limit. “sorry my speeding wasn’t good enough and I hope you get pulled over”

[Green Bay Packers @packers]

*screaming intensifies*

[Packers History @HistoricPackers]

The Packers have now won 11-straight games against the Bears, which is the longest win streak by either side in the rivalry.

[Packers History @HistoricPackers]

Since 1992, the Packers are 51-15 against the Bears.

Wisconsin, 111 years ago today

Male voters overwhelmingly defeat a statewide referendum which would have expanded voting rights to women.

Seven years later, Wisconsin would become the first state to ratify the 19th amendment to the US Constitution guaranteeing women’s suffrage.

Total student loan debt that would have been erased for millions of Americans: $400 billion

Total cost of the Trump tax cuts that largely benefited the wealthy and corporations: $1.9 trillion

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

[Jon Lovett @jonlovett]

all pretty straight forward from here

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Over the past five years, GM and Ford made a total of $42 billion in profit.

But during that time, GM paid an effective federal tax rate of only 1.3%. Ford? -0.2%. That's right. NEGATIVE 0.2%

Don’t tell me that automakers can’t afford to pay workers what they deserve.

WI State Sen. Kelda Roys (D-Madison) slams Republicans for refusing to fund child care programs:

"How [can you] call yourself pro-life when you devalue the people that nurture the life? ... Our infant mortality rates, our maternal mortality rates, are absolutely unacceptable."

[Wisconsin Senate Democrats @SenateDemsWI]

.@StateSenLaTonya: “Literally no reason not to support” paid family and medical leave. She’s right!

If we want more people to live, work, and play in our state, we must ensure that they can have a child, care for a loved one, or overcome an illness without derailing their lives.

[Wisconsin Senate Democrats @SenateDemsWI]

Child Care Counts has been a lifeline for this crucial industry, especially during the pandemic. However, with federal funds ending soon, providers need more certainty about staying afloat.
