A lot of things happened. Here are some of the things. This is TPM’s Morning Memo.

Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-NC), an eager foot soldier in Trump’s attempt to overturn the 2020 election, told Fox News host Tucker Carlson on Monday night that a group of North Carolina voters who are trying to get him disqualified from running for office are “actually very close” to succeeding.

It seems that Germany is beginning to take a hard line on the controversial pipeline.

plans for a series of truck convoys” to arrive in D.C.

I see that they plan to block the Beltway around DC, I-495.

I don’t think they realize how badly that will go for them. They’ll have zero public support, and the people in the DC metro area will be calling for capital punishment. Want to destroy support for your “movement?” This is the way to do it.

So Tulsi went to court to prove she’s not a Russian asset, but each time Russia is back in the news Tulsi is back on TV. Pure coincidence I’m sure.

I feel sorry for poor Mr. Putin. “I’m just a soul whose intentions are good. Oh Dear God, please don’t let me be misunderstood.”

Why can’t his buddy, Mr. Trump, talk to Joe and straighten this all out?
