A lot of things happened. Here are some of the things. This is TPM’s Morning Memo. Sign up for the email version.

Joni Ernst (R-IA)…
There are no words for these people.

Is it just me, or does Hegseth seem to be a little panicked that he won’t be confirmed? He seems a little too desperate.

Bet Ernst has been given the same type of promises Collins was given earlier.
When Hegseth now talks about women in the military he offers descriptions of the past or present. He makes no statements about his intentions.
Trump’s hint that “we” are going to protect women whether they want to be protected or not now has more context.

Does anyone know if there is a price list published that lists what it costs for favors from John Roberts and his toadies?

From the AP article: Many Republicans point to Texas as a model for immigration enforcement. Its $11 billion Operation Lone Star program has erected razor wire and other barriers along the Mexican border, stationed state troopers and Texas National Guard members in border towns and bused thousands of migrants to Democratic-led “sanctuary cities” such as New York, Chicago, Denver, Philadelphia and Washington.
Well, our Democratic states are going to have booming economies from those new immigrants. Now that is not an expectation I had for a Trump administration.
On other personal news, I think I will to start a business selling “RAZOR WIRE” which will be a knock-off stick with a marshmallow attached. I see a booming business ahead. How do you like the catchy name?

Between Yellowstone and Succession I am sick of lionizing and flattering the rich.
Some fart who inherited a fortune wants to play act Emperor, or John Wayne: I couldn’t give a flying fuck.
When it’s lip service you give yourself, it’s called autofellatio.
