A thread: When I started working from home on Tuesday, March 17th, my colleagues learned of one of the framed posters on my wall during our morning Google Hangouts. So, for amusement, I decided to switch out the artwork every workday for our morning meetings. (1/X)

A downside of newsroom hangout calls amid coronavirus is everyone seeing what my morning hair looks like. An upside is seeing @JoeBReporter's giant framed Barenaked Ladies poster.

INBOX (from last night): @TreasurerLoftis backs @PamelaEvette in governor's race. He's the second statewide elected official after Gov. McMaster to publicly back a hopeful in the governor's race.
Fun fact, Evette consultant Justin Evans also worked for Loftis earlier this year.

Conceding the GOP gov race, Nancy Mace tonight endorsed Alan Wilson, saying they had “buried the hatchet.”
Wilson & Pamela Evette advanced to a runoff in 2 weeks. Earlier today, Mace called Evette a “disgrace” after an altercation btw their supporters outside an Evette rally.
